On the whole this increase will be with late broilers. Those farmers produc ing broilers for the early market should receive a fair margin of profit. it Lack Of Pastures Is Weakening The F ar m Program iThe main reason why North Caro lina does not make greater progress as a livestock producing State is that ile landowners are not expert as cattle feeders . and the principal weakness m this, is the lack vf pastures, says .John A. Arey, dairy extension specia ls at State College. "We are poor feeders," said Mr. Arey last week in addressing the con ference of extension specialists. ''That will explain why we have not made the progress we should be making. Of . course, we were hit a hard, lick last season in our dairy work because "of the dry weather and the abundance of feed produced in other sections. The mid-west folks harvested an ex cellent crop of forage and other feed and are able to produce butterfat nght now at a much lower price than we can. Yet we can grow as much hay per acre as any section of the United States and at as low a cost. We can also have excellent pastures if we will but give some thought and time to the subject. Successful dairy ing is dependent upon pastures." Mr. Arey says a pasture revival is needed in the State. The usual con conception of a pasture in North Caro lina, he said, is a worn out piece of land, unsuited to crops, fenced with a strand or two of barbed wire. This is nothing but an exercise ground; he ((aims, and is often a dangerous one at that because it is usually criss crossed with deep gullies. Good land is needed for pasture and sume of the tame grasses should be planted. If a pasture has trees on it, : cut them down so the grasses may JiVorbe the sunlight and grow. Farmers are not in a condition to huy many purebred cows at this time, Mr, Arey said, but he advises the up grading of the cattle on hand by the ue of better sires. Question: How should Irish potatoes be treated before planting to prevent disease? Answer: Before cutting for seed all Irish potatoes should be soaked for 1 to 1 hour in a solution of one pint of Formaldehyde and 30 gallons of water. They should then be wash ed and dried before cutting the seed pieces. If bad weather or other caus es prevent 'immediate planting, the seed pieces should be dusted with finely ground sulphur to dry out and protect the freshly cut surface. Question: ftow can i kill the siiuiil . aims in my tobacco plant beds? Answer: No definite control has jec:i worked out for this pe.-t which is the larvae of midges and fungous 4'nats but a farmer in Kebeson county ".as secured .excellent results by treat-;-n'g with naphthalene flakes. These ''.I arte, are sprinkled over the bed at :ae rate of IVi pounds to, 100 square yards of bed- Three application were n ado over a ten-day period. This treatment stopped 'he damage and did noi injure the plants. planting at the beginning of th,. seas on, says Mr. Morrow. "One of the good plans to follow is to arrange the crops in units or sections. Have all the perennial crops such as aspnragis or strawberries in one part of the plot and then group the annuals in other .parts- according to tho length of time the plants will occupy tho land. Quick-maturing crops such us garden peas, early onions, lettuce and mustard should be planted together. Let the next section consist of early cabbage, early irigh potatoes, beets, .arrocs and the first planting of beans and tomatoes. Then in another sec tion plant the main summer crops, i his will permit .of rotation and .suc cession plan'ii.ngs." Mr. Morrow says il is possibly by tins plan to have something lrom the gaiden every day in the year. Those who may need help in plant ing their gardens this season can hav,, nee ,: charge a copy of Extension Circular, 122, "The -Garden Manual" en application to the Editor at -State College.

Answer: Dahlias grown from root. a cutting or plants will give just as many and just as large blooms as "hose propagated by means of roots nd will cost about half as much as .he roots. On the other hand, the formation of a good crop of roots by plants is very uncertain- For that reason the roots will probably ibe more satisfactory. Question: Should newly hatched chicks be left with the hen during the day.' Answer: If the sitting hen is quiet during hatching the chicks should be left under her as the body heat is of proper temperature. If the hen is restless or if several hens are set at the same time, the chicks may be re moved and kept in a wollen-lined box that is covered with paper until the hatch is over. The chicks should be returned to the hen each night. S. C. Man Has Been Hiccoughing For 7 Years Continuous lAllendalo, S.

For the first several years Saxon waked himself many times at night with his hiccoughing but now he has trained himself to sleep. He holds 'is nose when he eats and drinks to avoid choking.

Medical treatment to date has brought no relief and a physican here f;ays a nerve in Saxon's diaphram will have to be cut to give relief. Meanwhile, Saxon keeps on hic coughing on an average of once a minute. Judge Gets Worse End Of Practical Joke On His Wife Enroute to his home in Jacksonville Reach, former Jacksonville municipal Judge W. W. Anderson suddenly rea lized he had forgotten his wife's re quest for some turkey eggs to place under a hen that was petting. A little nearer home, a friend with whom Anderson paused to pass the time of day exhibited sonic buzzard eggs, and Anderson, thinking to plav a joke on Mrs. Anderson took two of the eggs. He gave them to her when he ar rived home. The following evening Anderson as sumed an unsmilling mien and asked his wife: "Did you set the hen?" "No, I didn't," Mrs. Anderson re plied. "There were only two eggs and 1 didn't think they werp worth both ering about, so I gave them to you for breakfast." Nearly all the big papers of the th(. home - country recently carried an Associated rress story about the weatherbeaton home of the wives of the original Siamese twins at North Wilkesboro, N. C. But the really "original" Siam ese twins are unknown. An exchange authority says the first such twins we have record of were the Biddenden twins born about 1100. These twins were girls and although each had a distinct body they were joined at the hips and shoulders. They lived to be 34 years old. There were many others after them but the term "Siamese Twins" did not come into use. until centuries later. The first joined " twins given that appellation were brothers Eng and Chang who lived t be 63 years old and then died within two hours of each other in 1874. Eng and Chang were distinct indi viduals except that they were joined by a two-in cartilaginous band at the base of the breast bones. At first they were actually joined face to face, but after constant movement and exer cise they could stand and walk about almost side-by-sidc. They were born of Chinese parents in Siam, thus the term "Siamese Twins." Chang and Eng were found on the banks of a river in Siam, purchased from their parents and brought to America for exhibition purposes, where 1'. T. Barnum made them more famous, perhaps, than any other set of Siamese twins the world has ever known. When thev had saved up $80,r 000 and grew tired of Rarnum's circus life thev settled down as farmers near North Wilkesboro and wed the Yates sisters Sarah and Adelaide. As they had no name except Eng and Chang the North Carolina legislature autho rized them to adopt the surname ot Bunker. Eng and Chang Bunker owned many slaves and went in for farming in a big way. With their sister brides they lived lor a time as one household. MX children were born to Chang'a wife and five to Eng's all of whom were normal. Many of their descendants live in Wilkes and Surry counties. The Chatham county farm agent reports 12 colts being grown by farm en of the county this year and says there is considerable interest now in raising more work stock at home.
