FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION: How can I fcrow
fru:t trees on my small garden
plot?
ANSWER: The development of
dwarf apple trees that never grow
taller than eight feet may be the
solution to your problem, says
James T. Francis of the State Col
lege Horticultural department.
These trees can be trained on a
trellis or wall with heavy prun
ing, and thus trained, they are
both ornamental and useful. The
Mailing VIII and Mailing IX root
stocks give the dwarfing effect.
QUESTION: What are the ad
vantages of using radiant heat for
brooding chicks?
ANSWER: This so-call new
brooding system appears to offer
much greater efficiency in fuel
consumption, labor, disease pre
vention, and in growth of chicks,
poults, and ducklings, according
to T. T. Brown, poultry specialist.
More chicks per man can be cared
for, floor space is more fully uti
lized, larger bunches of chicks can
be brooded together without
crowding, litter remains drier, and
less disease trouble is encountered
when radiant heat is used.
QUESTION: What is the average
number of pigs per litter in North
Carolina?
ANSWER: Statistics on file at the
Extension Service show this figure
to be 6.5 pigs per litter.

Dips and Peaks
Practical economists view the
business outlook in terms of peaks
and valleys. They have came to
accept the ups and downs of the
charts as interpretation of the
myriad factors Indicative of trends
that may take place in our changing,
dynamic economy. But the query .
Is put: How can we avoid depres
sions? Must we take these periodic
back-sets for granted? Is there not
danger for America In depressions?
These questions art sometimes
honestly asked by critics of what
they call "boom and bust" capital
Ism. Yes, there is danger in de
pressions. They're full of dynamite.
We might wish to avoid the effects
of every kind of business recession,
but to say that we desire to give up
freedom of individual opportunity
for a regimentation so thorough that
we can avoid depression would be to
swap temporary set-back for per
manent disaster.
Level Road?
America's economy is a changing
economy. It is-dynamic. And its
direction, always, has been upwards
towand the mountain peaks of a
higher and higher standard of living
for all her citizens. It is just pos
sible that we could stay in the val
i ley, finding a level road that would
I be smooth and easy. Some folks
I mistakenly call this '^security." But
I if we would have the mountain
peaks of higher and higher stand
ards of living, then we must be pre
pared for the brief plateaus, or even
the dips, of readjustment for the
climb ahead.
This need be no bitter revelation.
The price of no depression would
mean accepting a static economy.
We can have "no progress" along
with "no depression." A static
America, however, would not be a
progressive, inventive, virile Amer
ica. There are freedoms which
thrive in the dynamjc economy, and
not the least of them is freedom of
opportunity.
Price Too High
State socialism desires to become
your protector. You may have full
and continuous protection?ii you
cara to turn ovar to the state the
Job of deciding how many jobs there
will be. what will be produced, who'll
take the jobfc, and at what wages.
But we know the price of this pro
tectorate if too high.
Almost within our own generation
the working man haa had his hours
cut nearly one-third. Real wafces of
the "undiscovered" common-man
have tripled in many industries.
Secondary school enrollments have
increased ten times, and college
education is available to everyone.
The physical comforts and the lux
ury goods consumed by America's
common-man are the envy of the
whole world. All this has taken
place, despite depressions.
Upward Still '
This is not to say that America
should accept serious business re
cessions without making any effort
to cushion their effect. A wealth of
experience from the uncertain Thir
ties shoulcfenab t Congress lo"meeF
future emergent es with more suc
cess. We shall be able to avoid
the mistake of I aming overproduc
tion, for we nou know that to admit
overproduction i to admit that we
can offer a high r standard of living
than our people can accept.
America can eep going ahead on
the climb upv. rd toward heights'
now undreamec of, if we rededicate
ourselves to hr est effort tn under
standing and u ing the system that
has brought us so much. Recogniz
ing the laurels that belong already
to the Ameru .n way, we may
scale heights t it yet have never
been surveyed, ^et us not just take
depressions for granted; let's take
them in stride.

MY LIFE
By F. G. BROWN
Backward I look upon my life,
And see cne waste of storm and
strife.
Numberless wracks of" sorrows,
hopes and pains,
Vanishing to arise again.
My life has moved 'through every
sphere
Thn ugh sunshine, shadows and
every where.
Prom youth's golden horizon up
ward roiled
Through manhood's meridian
dark and cold.
At times more than half beaten,
but fearless,
I fought on through the gloom
ar.d darkness.
In the lull or thick of the fight,
Feeling that right would over
come might.
I did not lay there when knocked
low,
But promptly rose up ready to
go.
For I was born of the fighting clan,
With the heart and spirit of a
fighting man.
However meager has been my
wordly wealth,
I have been blessed with courage
and health.
I have reaped sadness from the
world's vast store,
But of Joy and happiness I've
reaped a little more.
May God grant me strength to
work and play,
Until I shall have accomplished
my day,
And I lay down the working
tools of life
To enter that home where there's
no envy or strife.
50,000 Pounds Turkish
Leaf Grown In State
Although Turkish tobacco is still
in its infancy in the United States,
approximately 50,000 pounds of
this type leaf was grown in the
mountain areas of North Carolina
ast year, E. G. Moss, Oxford Test
Farm superintendent, informs the
"S<3te Departmen: of Agriculture.
Moss said growers averaged
about $1,000 per acre on this crop,
)r about twice as much as burley
and flue-cured tobacco producers.
The entire amount of Turkish
grown in 1946, however, was pur
chased in advance at 70 cents per
pound by various tobacco com
panies.
Forty-eight Vance County farm
ers recently took 126 head of
workstock to clinics at ten neigh
borhood centers where they re
ceived treatment.
Eight model Turkish tobacco
curing barns will be built during
the spring months in North Caro
lina courties growing Turkish to
bacco, according to the State Col
lege Extension Service.
