tion and Proper Care
Are Necessary
-»
By D. W. BRADY, Assistant Farm
Agent, Martin County
To raise hogs profitably there
are a few simple methods one
must follow in sanitation, man
agement and feeding. Internal
parasites such as worms found in
many hogs can only be controlled
by sanitation. Small pigs are
more susceptible to the common
round Avorms than older hogs,
therefore to control these worms
in young pigs is of prime im
portance.
f A clean cultivated field seeded
to a temporary forage crop which
has not been previously grazed by
hogs since it was plowed should
be selected for a sow to farrow
her pigs on. The land should be
free of ditches and mud holes.
A portable farrowing house
with board floor and guard rails
should be used. About one week
before the sow is due to farrow
ail dirt and- bedding should be
■ removed from the house and it
should be disimected thoroughly
with boiling lye water.
A few days before farrowing
time the sow should be scrubbed
with a brush using soap and wat
er to remove dirt and worni eggs,
paying especial attention to the
udder. After she is dry she
should be brushed with oil to con
trol lice and mange. She is then
ready to put into the clean far
rowing house, bedded down with
damp sand in warm weather and
two inches chopped straw in cool
weather.
When the pigs are farrowed
they should be dried off and their
tusk-like teeth should be clipped
with side clipping pliers, being
careful not to injure the gums.
Other hogs should be kept away
from the pasture and these pigs
should be kept away from dirty
hog lots. Leave the pigs in this
pasture until they are at least
four months old or weigh an av
erage of 100 lbs. After they have
attained this size it is doubtful if
they will ever be noticeably af
fected with worms and may be
brought to a permanent pasture
or turned on corn and soybeans.
Save every pig farrowed if pos
sible as it is the number of
healthy pigs weaned that counts.
Castrate the boar pigs at three to
four weeks of age and vaccinate
them against cholera from six to
eight weeks of age.
A balanced ration in a self
feeder should be fed by putting
shelled corn or ground wheat or
barley in one compartment and
a mixture of equal parts of soy
bean oil meal, cotton seed meal
hd digester tankage or fish meal
in another compartment. When
the pigs are about two weeks old,
and the sow is on full feed, one to
four sows and litters of about the
same age may be fed in the self
feeder. A good mineral mixture
should be kept in a separate com
partment of the self feeder or in
any dry place where the sow and
pigs can have access to it at all
times. The following mineral
mixture is recommended: 10 lbs.
finely ground limestone, 5 lbs
steamed bone meal and 2 lbs. salt.
When the pigs are 8 weeks old,
wean them. Build a fence or creep
around the feeder, leaving an
opening large enough for the pigs
to enter. By this method the sows
will get no feed except pasture
and in three or four days the
sows’ milk flow will close and the
pigs will stop nursing. The sows
can then be removed to another
pasture.
These methods hav c proved to
be very profitable and with a lit
tle time and effort more and bet
ter pigs can be raised at less ex
pense.

•
Will Ward Martin County far

brother, Burras Ward, was cut
and bruised on the neck and head
late last Saturday when they
were attacked just across the
county line in Beaufort by three
colored men. Complete details of
the attack could not be learned
here immediately, but reports
state that both men were pain
fully but believed not critically
hurt. W. B. Peel was also attack
ed but he was not badly hurt, one
report stated.
Mr. Will Ward, according to in
formation reaching here, was
driving on U. S. Highway 17 in
the direction of Washington and
started to slow down (o turn intp

ditch.
One of the colored men said the
Ward car had no rear light on, it,
and when Mr. Ward stated that
there were proper lights on the
car he was attacked. One report
stated that he was struck on the
head, that when Mr. Ward pulled
out his knife one of the three
colored men slipped up behind
him and knocked him down,
rendering his unconscious. He
was hardly able to talk yester
day and his head was badly swol

Makes Confession
To County Sheriff

Time Attack Was Made
On November 8tli
-•
Otis Ragland, young Negro man
and one of eight prisoners sawing
their way out of the Martin Coun
ty prison camp near here on the
night of November 3, will go on
trial for his life at the next term
of the superior court which con
venes on December 9 for alleged
ly attacking Mrs. Floyd Moore at
her home in Williams Township
the 8th of this month. The case
was tentatively scheduled for
trial last week-end after Sheriff
C. B. Roebuck had questioned the
alleged attacker in State’s prison
otf Thursday.
“While the man denies the
crime, he has told enough for us
to go ahead yith the trial with
out waiting for the arrest of Ches
ter Marsh, one of the prisoners
escaping with Ragland and who
was at first implicated in the
crime by Ragland," Sheriff C. B.
Roebuck said.
A statement, made by the ac
cused man before Prison Chap
lain William H. R. Jackson, As
sistant Warden Bruce Poole and
] Sheriff C. B. Roebuck, is being
I withheld for the present, but the
I sheriff intimated that he was bet
| ter satisfied now to go into court
I with the evidence than he was be
Ifore questioning Ragland in the
I prison last Thursday,
j While officers themselves were
convinced that Ragland operated
alone, the man maintained at first
that the fellow escapee, Chester
Marsh, was the principal in the
crime, described as the most das*
jtardly in the annals of Martin
i County court history. Confront
ed by that statement, officers had
worked unceasingly in pushing a
search for Marsh. In his partial
confession last Thursday, Ragland
said that Marsh was not with him.
Since the evidence on that score
has been cleared, officers declar
ed they were ready to go into
court with the case.
Ragland, still denying the
charge, admitted that he went to
the Moore home when questioned
last Thursday in Raleigh. Prior
to that time, he maintained that
he waited while Marsh went to
the home. In the presence of the
chaplain and two officers, Rag
land admitted that he nad made
a false statement, and declared
that Marsh was not there. One re
port said that Ragland made the
admission because he was afraid
for the safety of Marsh if he were

Malaria Need Not j
Be Obstacle To A
Quite Usual Life
Overwork, Late Hours,
Worry And Heavy
Drinking Injurious
O
Families of persons who have
suffered from malaria hear so
many rumors about recurring at
tacks that they often build' up un
necessary worry about a disease
which, if properly treated, does
the patient no permanent harm.
If someone in your family has had
malaria, you owe it to yourself
and to him to know the facts.
Along with tropic moons, wav
ing palms and Japs, the well ad
vertised Pacific isles introduced
our servicemen to the Anopheles
mosquito, the carrier of malaria.
In the past the disease was preva
lent mainly in the southern part
of the United States. But with
the return of many of our fight
ing men, carrying the malarial
parasites in their bodies, we may
expect it to become a problem in
many sections of the country if
proper measures of control are
not taken.
There are several varieties of
the disease. One which used to
be the most serious can now be
completely cured with good care
during the first attack. The most
common is the recurring type.
Symptoms of an attack are chills
and fever, headaches and back
ache, weakness, dizziness and
nausea. The attacks become mild
er each time and disappear with
in three years, usually sooner un
der proper treatment. Quinine
and atabrine are used to treat the
symtoms of discomfort. Ata
brine causes the skin and eyes to
take on a yellowish tinge which
wears off within a few weeks aft
er the drug is discontinued.
At w’orst, an attack of malaria
will keep a persons in bed for a
short time. He may feel weak and
washed out for a while after
wards. Families should remem
ber that a doctor ii the best per
son to decide what is wrong with
a sick person. The patient may
be sure he recognizes the sym
toms of an attack of malaria, but

Few Peanuts Are
Moving to Market

After gradually pulling out of a
slump but failing to fully recover,
the peanut market is being stymi
ed by unfavorable weather. Dur
ing recent days hardly more than
1,500 or 2,000 bags have moved to
the market here each day.
As far as it could be learned,
prices have settled down to about
a ten-cent figure, an occasional
lot going to $10.50 per hundred.
ROUND-UP

Annual Christmas !
Seal Sale Off To j
A Splendid Start

County Asked To Raise a
Total Of &2,<KK>
This Year
■ y—
TV annual sale of Christmas
TB seals was off to a splendid
start yesterday when County
Chairman Chas. H. Manning plac
ed 1.500 direct appeals in the
mail and soon received favorable
answers. "We are sending 200
seals to each of the 1,500 persons,
asking them to remit $2 for each
lot,” the chairman said.
TB bonds, ranging from $2.50 to
$25 will be offered for sale within
a short time.
Last year approximately $1,500
was raised in the county, but in
preparation for stepping up the
campaign against tuberculosis the
association is asking for $2,000
this year. It was pointed out that
mobile trucks will be sent, into
the county as soon as possible to
take pictures of all school chil
dren and hundreds of adults, that
$2,000 and possibly more will be
needed to pay for the films. Every
effort possible is being made to
eradicate tuberculosis, and the
work will be badly hampered in
this county if the $2,000 quota is
not subscribed, the chairman ex
plained.
A working organization has
been effected and the drive will
be advanced in all the schools
and in every section of the county
between now and the Christmas
holidays. During the meantime,
the chairman is hopeful the di
rect mail appeals will bring good
results.

Six persons were injured and
one or two others suffered shock
in a series of automobile wrecks
on Martin County highways early
last Saturday evening. No one
was critically hurt and property
damage was estimated at less
than $200 by investigating offic
ers.
Gus Norman Cowan, 41 of Suf
folk, turned his 1941 model pick
up truck over about 5:00 o'clock
Saturday afternoon when he sud
denly turned off the hardsurt'ace
to avoid striking a 4-year-old
child on U, S. Highway 64 just
west of Williamston. The child,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond
Heath, started to run across the
highway just ahead of the Cowan
truck which was running around
40 miles an hour. The driver suc
ceeded in missing the child but
the little follow fell down and
hurt his hand. The truck turned
over against a yard hedge and
was damaged very little, CpI. W.
T. Simpson of the highway patrol

| mg, turned to the left and struck
the Wynne car and almost turned
it over. Mizcllc lost control of his
1928 model Ford and turned it
over. No one was hurt and dam- !

\ <*rv IVw Suitable Seed Are

Territory
-®-:
Th<- r>"< hlems of reconversion
■ os real to the peanut produc
er as they are to the automobile
manufacturer. The swing these
days is from the wartime oil type
nuts back to the peacetime edible
peanut.
But the producer faced with the
prospect of mixed seed stock, as a
result of the war years, has some
good news in store. Next spring
when he buys his seed stock
there's to be a mighty important
little tag for him to look out for.
A tag bearing the words "Farm
ers Stock Peanuts,” which means
that bag of peanuts consists of
pure strains of the large-type
nuts preferred for eating.
So far very few peanuts suit
! able for planting have been found
in, this immediate territory.
The story leading up to that tag
itas its beginning this fall.
Realizing the plight of many of
the peanut farmers of the State
who were wanting to reconvert
but didn’t have the seed stock to
do it, and the future demands for
peanuts for edible trade, a num
ber of the peanut millers, ap
pealed to their agricultural
agencies for help in locating pure
lines of the large-type edible nuts
for planting purposes. To carry
out the program, the cooperation
of the N. C'. Crop Improvement
Association, the N. C. Agricultur
al experiment Station, the State
| College extension Service, the
Slate Department of Agriculture,
the (Rowers Peanut Cooperative,
! lire nulling industry, and the in
1 dividual grower was solicited and'
pledged.
| The Crop Improvement Asso
eiation, headed bv Dr. Robert P.
' Moore of State College, agreed td
| furnish an inspector, Thomas
i Cheats of Edenton, to locate the
I seed.
Chears. working wdth the coun
ty agent in each of the peanut
producing counties, has sought re
i latively pure strains of the prin
cipal edible nuts—Large Jumbo,
Medium Jumbo, Virginia Runner,
land Virginia Bunch. In locating
these strains, he reports that his
I best sources have been farmers
i who have selected their own seed
I for planting purposes.
When lie locates seed that
meets Ins requirements, he at
taches a yellow tag to each hag
which tells the miller or other
buyers that this lot should be set
aside for additional inspection
which will consist of determina
tion ot germination and class.
Once the seed have been stored
in the warehouse, the State De
pa i Intent of Agriculture is to send
around an inspector who testa the
lol for germination and then, ats
facile a tag of approval on those
that meet the standards.
This is the tag bearing the
words "Farmers Stock Peanuts’*
tor which planters next spring
are urged to look.
Cooperation, Dr. Moore says, is
the keynote of the entire pro
gram. A failure to do so on the
part of any of the participating
members would play havoc with
the whole plan.
However he points out the
agreement has been drawn up,

standpoint, success appears cer
