Diversification Pays Says Duplin Farmer
Alter deciding that a one crop
system of farming was not sound,
K. D. Simmons, Duplin County
farmer of Seven Springs, began
following a diversified system of
farming, and set an example that
others might follow.
That is what L. F. Weeks, coun
ty agent State College Ex

ing program which Mr. Simmons
is carrying out.
This Duplin County farmer pro

TORTURES OF NERVOUS
INDIGESTION RELIEVED
"Since Taking Retonga I
Have Regained My Appe
tite, My Food Agrees With
Me And I Feel Better Than
In Years," Declares Miss
Hyde. Wants Other Suf
ferers To Know About Re
tonga.
"I wish everybody who suffers
as I did could see this statement
and get the same wonderful re
lief through Retonga," declares
Miss Selma Hyde, well-known
resident of 128 Brown St., Ander-'
son, S. C.
"It seemed to me," continued
Miss Hyde, "that I suffered dis
tress from indigestion in every
form I ever heard about. Often I
could not retain anything at al^
I had heartburn until my stomach
and chest felt like I had swallow
ed red hot peppers, and severe
pains would shoot through my
body. I felt so bloated most of the
time that I could hardly breathe,
and at night it was often three or
four o'clock in the morning be
fore I could get to sleep. I had to
depend on salts and hot water for
elimination. A walk of two blocks
wore me out.
"Retonga gave me astonishing
relief. I regained my appetite, my
food agrees with me, and I sleep
restfully. That high-strung, upset
feeling is relieved and so is the
constipation. I have regained much
strength and energy, and feel bet
ter than in years. I wish everyone
knew about Retonga.."
Retonga is intended to relieve
distress due to insufficient flow
of digestive juices in the stomach,
loss of appetite, Vitamin B-l de
ficiency and constipation. Accept
no substitute. Retonga may be ob
tained at Sylva Pharmacy ? Adv.

said, adding that most of the feed
used in raiding these animals is
grown on the farm.
Mr. Simmons sold 90 hogs this
year lor $4,910, used 7 at home
which were valued at $360, and
has 5 sows on hand now with 48
young pigs. During fhe year, f\e
bought no grain and is now har
vesting 50 acres of corn which is
averaging 58 bushels per acre. The
only feed bought for his hog crop
this year was 2 tons of tankage,
and 1,000 pounds of fish meal.
Six calves, which were sold this
year, brought him $400, Mr. Weeks
said. He maintains a laying flock
of 65 hens and is gathering 3Va
dozen eggs daily. The male birds
from his yearly flock of chicks
are eaten at home or marketed
locally.
In addition to the 6 acres of
permanent pasture on the farm,
Mr. Simmons seeded 2Vfc acres in
the spring of this year to a mixture
of ladino clover, orchard grass,
lespedeza, and red top clover. His
cattle, hogs, and work stock get
a good portion of their feed from
these pastures and interplanted
legumes in his corn field. For tem
porary grazing and a cover crop,
he seeds 40 acres of small grain
each fall.
The cash crops on his farm this
year consist of 15 acres of tobacco,
and 9 acres of cotton. A three-year
crop rotation is followed which is
planned to maintain and build the
fertility of the soil, Mr. Weeks
said.

FARMERS SHOULD FILE
INCOME TAX RETURNS
The beginning of a new year
means that income tax reporting
time is here, says C. Brice Ratch
ford, in charge of Farm Manage
ment for the State College Ex
tension Service, and farmers along
with most other people will have
to consider filing their returns.
Many Tar Heel farm families
will not have to pay any income
tax, Mr. Ratchford said, but the
greater majority of them will have
to file a return.
If you are in doubt as to whether
you have to file a return, then here
is the deciding factor. If the gross
income from your farm was more
than $500 during the year, you
should tile a return. Since all farm
expenses may be deducted along
with the persrnal exemptions of
$500 Cor self, $500 for wife, and
$500 for each dependent relative,
this will mean that a large number
ol' f rtneis will nut have :o pay an\
lax. However, there is a severe
penalty for not filing a return.

Maybe this sounds too good to be
true. But it's a fact!
Even if your Buick dates back as far
as 1937, you can have a hoodful of
factory-fresh Fireball power? a sleek
new power plant that's the same as
the engines going into the latest
Buick cars.
Everything about it Is brand-new. A
new carburetor and air cleaner help
make every drop of fuel give up all
its power. A new distributor, com
plete with vacuum and centrifugal
advance, puts new snap in your get

whole new wiring harness prevents
electrical loss. And tucked in the
flywheel housing is a new smoothie
of a clutch that'll make driving more
fun than ever.
Yes, it's all new, with the latest
Buick engine features you read
about ? like precision cylinder bor
ing, Oil- Miser rings, Stratoflow
cooling and so on.
You can get a new engine like this
because engine production is not
held back tfy the shortage of sheet

How much does it cost? Not nearly
what you'd expect? often less than
a comprehensive overhaul. And it's
