Cardinals Win Wild
And Wooly Contest
From Dodgers, 13-10
By WHEELER MANNING
In the most wild and wooly soft
ball game of the current campaign,
played here Friday afternoon, the
Cardinals trounced the Dodgers, 13
10. The game was marked by super
fluous errors, plenty of base hits,
daring base-running and a lot of
unnecessary arguing, and the total
of 2) runs scored was high for any
game played thus far this season.
The Cardinals sprung a surprise
by calling on an unheralded "rookie"
"Dizzy Dean" Bufflap, to "do the
pitching and when the smoke of bat
tle had cleared the eccentric hurler
had scored his first victory, to give
him a pitching average of 1.000 for
the season, as he allowed only 15
bingles.
The Dodgers used a trio of chunk
ers in a desperate effort to stop the
"gashnnsp" gang from winning, but
all efforts proved futile, as the win
ners tallied 13 times on a dozen safe
blows. Zemon allowed four hits and
four runs during his two-inning stay
on the mound, while Lassiter gave
up one hit, one pass and one run dur
ing his one inning chore. The balance
of hitting and scoring was at the ex
pense of acting captain Jack Man
ning, who dropped his first game.
The Cards scored four times in
the first frame as Critcher, Sharpe,
Plepboff and Fitzgerald singled, two
men were put on by fielder's choice,
and one error was thrown in. They
added two more in the third to take
a (-2 lead, after the Dodgers had
counted twice in the first half of the
same inning. In the fourth the Dodg
ers used their half to cross the plate
four times to knot the game, but this
tie was short-lived, as the Cards
came back for two more in their time
at bat to take an 8-6 advantage.
The winners scored five times in
the next two frames while the los
ers could make only four in their
final chances, to account for the
13-10 outcome.
Hopkins, with one for one; Piep
hoff, with two for three, Critcher
and Fitzgerald each with two for
four, and Gurganus with one for two
were the highest in the Cardinal hit
parade.
John Eagles had three for four for
the losers' best man. He was follow
ed by C. Summerlln and H. Wynne,
each with two for three, while Myers
and Lassiter had two for four.

sonvilie, was a business visitor in

Profit-making Trees
Will Crow In (piil I ics
A new agricultural publication,
the title of which is the thought-pro
voking question: "Are You Growing
Gullies or Trees?" is announced by
the N. C. State College Extension
Service as available for free distri
bution to North Carolina farmers
It was prepared in cooperation with
the Department of Forestry Rela
tions of the Tennessee Valley Au
thority.,?
A copy of the circular (No. 255)
may be obtained free by writing to
the Agricultural Editor, State i:ol
lege, Raleigh, and requesting the
publication by name and number.]
County farm agents of the Extension
Service also have copies of the cir
cular for free distribution.
R. W. Graeber, Extension forester
of State College, says the bulletin is
expected to prove very helpful in
showing farmers how to put their
severely eroded lands to work for
a profit. Each step in the planting
|of trees on eroded lands and in gul
lies is illustrated by a picture.
"Thousands of acres on North Car
olina farms are suffering from the
effects of severe soil erosion," Grae
ber declared "These lands can and
should be put to work. Some of these
eroding acres can be saved and use<T
profitably through improved farm
ing practices, such as terracing, con
tour cultivation, and cover crops
with ample-applications of lime and
fertilizer. Many others, because of
steep slopes, poor soils and other
adverse conditions, can best be used

"Write to the State College Agri

Feed Supply Ample
For Poultry Floeks
Latest war-time slogan is "Keep
'em Fed." It applies to fighting and
working men, and also, says C. F.
Parrish, Extension poultryman of
N. C. State College, it applied to
the chickens which produce the eggs
and meat to keep the fighting and
working forces healthy and strong.
"Poultry producers are fortunate
that an ample supply of feed is
available for the increased number
of birds being produced," said Par
rish. "A reserve supply of grains has
been built up, and certain vitamins
necessary in a balanced poultry feed
have been supplemented by synthe
tic products"
Parrish said, further, that the egg
feed ratio is generally favorable to
the poultry farmer. The price of
some ingredients in the poultry ra
tion has increased, but the prices re
ceived for eggs and other poultry
products has also risen.

Before the largest crowd of the
eason here yesterday, the hustling
Cardinals fought their way into a
irst-place tie with the heretofore
i?ague-leading Martins, by hammer
ing out a 10-7 win over the latter
earn. This gives each team two wins
nd one loss.
Tine Cards accumulated a 3-1 lead
iter three innings of play by scor
ng one in each of the first three inn
ings while the losers didn't break
he scoring ice until the third when
Cimball was safe on an error, went
o second on Puff Hoyle's single, both
idvaneed on Simpson's sacrifice hit,
ind Kinnball crossed the plate on
2o-captain Hardy's single. The third
Z!ard run, made in the third, was a
nome run by C. T. Roberson. In the
fourth, the winners added three
more, while the Martins could score
only twice in their half, thereby
leaving the score 6-3 in favor of the
Cards. In the fifth the scoring was
reversed that of the previous inning,
and thus the Martins pulled up with
in two runs of a tie, tt-6.
Both teams failed to tally in the
sixth. In the seventh's first half, the
Cards counted twice on a walk to
Sharpe ,a double by Bufflap and sin
gles by Ned Cunningham and Ar
thur Gurganus. The Martins came
back for one in their half as Simpson
reached first on an error, went to
Second on a wild pitch and scored on
a couple of infield outs. In a vain
effort to stave off an inevitable de
feat. harassed Harcom often juggled
his lme-up, endeavoring to plug up
gaps everywhere except around
third base.
Oswald Stalls pitched well for the
winners, scattering 9 hits fairly even
and issuing nary a pass, while Cun
ningham played a good game at
first, and led his mates to victory by
getting three hits out of four trips
to the plate. Dan Sharpe also was
a contributing factor, as he had two
hits and two walks for a perfect
day at the patter. Gurganus, with
2 for 4, was third best.
Bennie Godwin, with two for two
was naturally the high man in hit
ting for the losers, while Bill Ever
ett had two for three and Hoyle one
for two. One of Everett's blows was
for three bases.

eau of Animal Industry has proved
that the most efficient egg produc
tion, and the most economical growth
come when chickens are on full feed.
One experiment showed that a re
duction of 25 per cent in the food
supply reduced egg production 50
per cent.
"Generous feeding of a high-qual
ity, well-balanced feed must be prac
ticed to reach the egg-production
goals set up for the war emergen
cy," the Extension specialist declar
ed. "Poultrymen are expected to ex
ceed the 1B42 goals, but this Nation
and its Allies can use all ihe extra
eggs produced.
"When the Food-for-Freedom pro
gram was started last April," Par
rish continued, "the egg-drying plant
capacity of the Nation was only
about 50 million pounds annually.
Actually, the highest production up
to that time was barely 11 million
pounds. The annual capacity of the
80 egg-drying plants in the United
States is now approaching 300 mil
lion pounds."
State Swine Growers
Face Feed Shortage
Scarcity of fishmeal and tankage
ias created a feeding problem for
\Jorth Carolina hog producers, re
ports Ellis V. Vestal, Extension
iwine specialist of N. C. State Col
ege. These two feeds have been the
itandard protein supplement used
>y swine growers for years.
"Some farmers," says Vestal, "are
nclined to feed corn, or other grain,
?xclusively as a result of the short
ige. The feeding of corn alone to
logs is very expensive. It requires
lpproximately 11.2 bushels of shell
?d corn to produce 100 pounds of
jork when the" corn is fed alone. It
equires only 6.1 bushels of corn to
uroduce the same poundage of pork
vhen mixed with 30 pounds of fish
neal and three pounds of minerals." I
As supplements to reduce the use
<f fishmeal and tankage, the Exten-.
?ion specialist suggests the use of
120 pounds of shelled corn (about
iiv hnshels), 23 pounds each of cot
onseed meal and fishmeal, and three
rounds of a good mineral mixture.
Another similar feed that, with
present prices, will likely give the I
nost efficient and economical re
sults, is the feeding of 320 pounds of
ihelled corn in one compartment of
a self-feeder, a mixture of 16 pounds
each of fishmeal or tankage, cotton
seed meal, and soybean meal in an
other compartment, and a good min
eral mixture in the third compart
ment of the self-feeder.
"If neither fishmeal or tankage is
available to mix with cottonseed or
soybean meal," advises Vestal, "there
are several 40 per cent protein sup
