More Profits Seen In Hogs This Year,
Says Swine Specialist At State College
A steadily increasing demand for
pork in the National Defense pro
gram means that hogs will be
more profitable for North Caro
lina farmers this year, says E. V,
Vestal, swine specialist of the N.
C. State College extension service.
: In recognition of the importance
of pork in feeding the nation, the
government has announced a pro
gram which will support hog prices
at $9 per 100 pounds, Chicago
basis, until June 30, 1943.
With this floor under hog prices,
Vestal is urging growers to make
a special effort to produce not
only pork for the market but for
family use as well. Right now
surplus corn and other grains can
be fed profitably to animals intend
ed for market.
Likewise, temporary pastures
may be planted at this season for
hogs. Alternative rows of soy
beans and millet or Sudan grass
will furnish excellent grazing for
sows and their litters, as well as
for growing pigs.
An acre of this pasture will sup
ply most of the feed necessary for
10. or more growing pigs if the
soybeans are permitted to reach
8 to 10 inches before the animals

are turned on them.
A few ears of corn daily will
increase gains considerably and
the addition of one-tenth pound of
tankage or fishmeal or a small
amount of milk per pig each day
will make the gains even more eco
nomical, the State College special
ist advised.
Plenty of cool clean drinking
water at all times should be a
"must" in the swine grower's pro
gram. Similarly, minerals should
be available for growing pigs as
well as other hogs. The mineral
mixture should be placed where
the animals may have access to
it at all times.

POOR, POOR HOUND DOG
Sty 100
You know hew fast bad news
can always spread over a neigh
borhood. Well, Jay Bird says he
never knew news of any kind to
fly faster than did the news of the
stealing of Aunt Lindy3 ham. It
just got in the air, and it seemed
as if everybody in the, whole coun
try was coming over to see the
dog that had been tied up, and to
hear Aunt Lindy tell about it. All
sorts of stories got out Some
people had heard that Hound Dog
had been beaten most to death,
then tied and thrown into his house.
Others; heard that the robbers
made so much noise that they
woke Tom and that when he came
to see what was the matter, they
caught and beat him. Some folks
were surprised to see that the house
hadn't been burned, and everybody
had to see the poor dog that had
been treated so badly. Hound Dog
had never felt better in his life,
but he had to just droop around
like a sick chick, and he would
take the longest sort of time to
eat his dinner, just like it was all
,he could do to worry it down. Aunt
Lindy would bring him nice warm
biscuits, and once or twice she
actually gave him scrambled eggs
for breakfast! No Wonder Hound
Dog would rub up against her
and lick her hand,
All this kept up two or three
days, and Hound Dog got awfully
tired of playing sick and was just
itching to go out and run a rabbit.
But he saw what a good time
Aunt Lindy was having showing
the poor dog to her neighbors, and
telling them how near dead he
Was when Tom found him all tied
up in his house. He didn't want
to take any pleasure away from
anybody that had been nursing
him and giving him ham bones
and .scrambled eggs, as Aunt
Lindy had been doing. So he
thought he could put up with It a
while longer, and he did. Of
course Jay Bird would fly over
every day to see how the sick dog
was getting along, and one day
after seeing Sallie Cat go out
where Hound Dog was lying In
the sun, and pat him on his big
ears, just like he was saying
"poor doggie," he flew back and
told Blackie about it. "Sally Cat
just patting Blackie Bear's dog!
That's a lot better than having
her scratch Blackie Bear's nose,
6s she did one time. But wouldn't
she sret her back up if she knew
'whose dog she was petting! ' Well,

flew to England to fight with the
Free French air force.
what she doesn't know won't hart
her, and it seems to help Hound
Dog, so I guess I ought to be sat
isfied." .
Of course Blackie could have
done all sorts of things to Sallie
Cat, even to killing and eating her
for the way she had scratched him
up that day when he first met her;
but he had no idea of hurting her.
In the first place, he knew she was
right when she scratched him up
so to keep him from eating her
kitties. He knew that he would
have done even worse to anybody
that he had caught trying to eat
Benny and Jenny.
"Tell Hound Dog that I hope he
will soon be able to sit up, and
that his chair is waiting for him
when he gets strong enough to
run over here," Blackie said to
Jay Bird.
