STATE COLLEGE HINTS TO FARM HOMEMAKER By RUTH CURRENT State Home Demonstration Agent Laundering Short-Cuts Sprinkled clothes will dampen more evenly if they. ? are folded rather than rolled. Wrap clothes j in a rubber sheet, if you have one. When you are dampening clothes j you may use a discarded strip of j oil cloth over a table or ironing board. Time may be saved in sorting clothes it colored clothes could be placed in one hamper or bag and white clothed in one. A small bag ( for soiled handerkerchiefs would i lso be a real help. When ironing, fasten a safety or straight pin to the places that need mending on the clothes. This saves time in finding the spot when the* mending time comes along.

Note the new T-shaped sfcrome center bar on the radiator grille. but averaged 78 bushels per acre with good fertilizer and cultural practices. The Agronomy department now has the planting dates of approvi mately 500 members of the 100 bushel corn club, and these will soon be tabulated in relationship of these results, Dr. Collins said, would indicate that good corn yields can be obtained on most planting dates. For example, in Davidson county, members apply ing for membership in the 100 bu shel corn club planted their corn on the following dates: April 1, 10, 12, 19, 22, 25, 27, 29, May 1, 2, 5, 15, 23, June 2, 5, and 10. All of these | plantings produced good yields. | QUESTION ? Why are farmers recommended to fertilize their fish i ! ponds? | ANSWER ? Fertilizer placed in a pond accomplishes ' three things: . First, it greatly increases the food ! for fish; second, it controls sub merged pond weeds; and third, it t makes fishing more successful. For ; these reasons, a farm pond should | be fertilized. A pond that is always I muddy or one that becomes muddy with every rain cannot be fertiliz ed successfully. Microscopic plants called algae grow in all pond waters. There are many kinds but most of them are too small to be seen without a microscope. These extremely .small plants provide food for in sects and water animals that are in turn eaten by fish. Bluegills more that bass, feed upon t ne aquatic insects that live within the pond. I Microscopic plants ^multiply' to j huge numbers when sufficient nit ' rogen, phosphorus, potash and ! other essential materials are pre I sent in the pond water. Brood Sows Produce Profits For Owner Any hog producer could be proud of a production of 163 pigs from V sows, says C. S. Mintz, county agent for the State College Extension Service. Such a record has been made on the farm of Elmer Overman of Pikesville, Route 2, Wayne coun ty, according to Mr. Mintz, who said that the 7 sows produced 14 litters for an average of 23.3 pigs per sow. Mr. Overman, a man who really loves the Duroc hogs, takes pride in the production ability of his sows and is equally proud of his show record at the North Carolina State Fair and various Duroc shows in eastern North Carolina. His herd is headed by the boar, Fancy Type, the 1946 Duroc grand cham pion boar at the N. C. State Fair, and mature champion boar at the 1947 State Fair. Production Registry work has been given due attention on the j Overman farm during the past year, Mr. Mintz said, adding that 7 litters were qualified for Pro duction Registry during the year. P;neview Queen, a sow with 3 production registry litters t Q her credit, is a standout in Mr. Over man's herd. This sow has farrow ed 49 pj^s out of 4 litters and suc cessfully raised 40 of them. A gilt l i EXPERIMENT STATION i RELEASES BULLETIN | | ' "Factory Meets Farm in North I Carolina" is the title of a new bul letin just released by the North 1 Carolina Agricultural Experiment} Station, and free copies are avail able to residents of the state who 1 request them. Dr. Francis E. McVay, assist- 1 ant agricultural economist for the Station, wrote the bulletin, basing it on rccent survey of farms and industries in Gaston and Davidson counties. It was his aim to chart the relationship that now exists between agriculture and rural in dustries and the effect on rural people. "Whether industrialization is the answer to southern economic pro blems, is still an open question," says Dr. McVay in his introduc tion. "But long strides were made toward -increased industrialization during the recent war ... It is be cause the South is still rural in character, but changing rapidly as industrialization proceeds, that a study of the effect of industry upon agriculture is important at this time." One of the first findings of the survey was that even in 1943 when the larm labor was low, many farm lamilies in the survey counties were under-employed. Dr. McVay observes that, "other things re maining equal, empl: yment could not be given to this unused labor simply by increasing the croplanc acreage alone." In other words, if the farm family was to be fully employed it has to depend at least partly on nearby rural industries. Many of the off-farm empoy ment opportunities offered low wages and has few seasonal varia tions in labor needs that matched fluctuations in the farm labor sup ply. Nevertheless, these opportuni ties helped considerably in raising the income of farm families. In his summary, Dr. McVay reaches the conclusion that more rural industries would certainly improve the plight of farm families. "The part-time farmer, who at present ekes out a living from farm and factory, might leave farming entirely if he could find full-time off-farm work at higher wages," the economist concludes. "Higher non-farm incomes would undoubt edly raise the incomes of full-time farmers who remained on the farm. This would, in turn, enable them to finance more mechanization and thus step up their efficiency and income." out of Pineview Queen, and sired by Fancy Type, will be used as replacement in his herd. During the past year, 46 pigs have been sold out of his herd for breeders, others have been fed out I and placed on the market as top I quality hogs. ? j~ Mr. Overman's present plans call I for keeping about 6 sows on his I farm, Mr. Mintz said. | Read Herald Want Ads.

Cats Play Four Conference Games At Cullowhee .Next Week Coach Tuck McConnell's West ern Carolina Catamounts, who sport a current cage record of six wins against two losses, take on four North State Conference foes on their home court at Cullomhee during the next week. Friday and Saturday nights they square off gainst the High Point Panthers, next Tuesday the Ap palachian Mountaineers' visit Cul lowhee to renew their old rivalry and Thursday,. January 22, the Catawba Indians invade Breese gymnasium for a game yiat was originally dated for the 26th but was rescheduled to the 22nd. All home games start at 8 p. m. with preliminary "B" string beginning at 7:00. The Panthers have lost six of their seven starts this season, but they are still confident that they will come to life in the loop cam paign. Their only conference game to date ended in a 57-48 victory for Catawba. The probable Panther starting lineup is Bill Sheets and Jack Hammond at forwards, Ted Mor an at center, and Frank Henry and Malcomb Sullivan at guards. Henry, Sheets and Sullivan have all attained all-conference honors during past seasons for High Point. The Appalachian and Catawba quints are both loaded with vet eran talent from last season when both clubs finished the season in , the upper bracket of the confer ence standings but were knocked out in the first round of the tourn ament at High Point by lower bracket clubs, Catawba falling be fore the Catamounts who went on to lose a last minute 53-51 decision to Elon in the finals. Western Carolina's conference record for the current campaign stands at one win, one loss as a result of their two game series with the Lencir-Rhyne Bears last week at Cullowhee. Cats Lose To Maryville, 45-40 ? The Western Carolina Cata mounts suffered their second de feat in eight starts this season at the hands of the Maryville college cagers in Maryville, Tenn., Tues day night, by a 45-40 score. The game was close from first to last with Maryville holding a two point edge at halftime and mid way in the third period the High landers hit a scoring streak which gave them a 10 point lead. Then the Cats pulled bafk up too late to save the game. Howard Barnhorst, stellar Cata mount guard, was classed as the outstanding man on the floor both on defense and on offense where he racked up 10 points. Bobby Boring, Maryville guard, hit 12 points for the scoring honors. 1 Bethel Cagers Take Doubleheader From Sylva The Bethel High cagers s\^ept both end^.of a doubleheader from the Sylva boys and girls at Sylva Tuesday night, the girls winning 34-24, and the boys 31-29. The Sylva boys held the lead throughout the game until the last three minutes when the Bethel boys, sparked by big Bill Trull with 15 points, came from behind to win. Cunningham hit 12 and Cagle 10 for Sylva. For the girls, Betty McClure of Sylva caged 11 points but honors went to Blalock of Bethel with 14. The lineups: GIRLS? Sylva (24) F? Ward 6 F ? Estes 7 F ?
