It is believed that crows are re sponsible for the spreading of hog cholera in South Dakota. Unciean persons found on the streets of Mexico City, Mex., are ar rested. The Alaska Railroad, owned by the U. S. Government, is operated at an annual deficit of $1,000,000 to serve 4,000 persons living along its route. Last year, in France, deaths ex ceeded the number of births by 12,000. A layer of artificial ice, 3 inches thick, made from a secret formula, is used in a large skating rink at Stutt gart, Germany. In a beer-drinking contest at Jau rez, Mexico, J. A. Dent, of D'Lo, Miss., won. He drank half a gallon in 22 seconds. Mrs. Margaret Burns, 93 years old of Pittsburgh, Pa., is cutting her third set of teeth. The second Congressional district of Montana is as large as the States of West Virginia, Vermant, New Jer sey, Deleware, Main, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut com bined. Rita May Freeman, born at Con cord, N. H., has plenty of grand mothers. She has a grandmother, a great grandmother, a great-great grandmother and a great-great-great : grandmother. Long before civilized nations adopt ed it, vaccination was used by natives of East Africa as a smallpox preven tative. ' ? t Because a finger on her right hand 1 had to be amputated as the result of : a dog's bite, thereby ruining her car- > eer as a concert pianist, Doris A. MacDonald has filed 3uit against the ' dog's owner for $210,000 damages in : a Camden, N. J., court. Hogging Down Corn Paid Good Profit I Grow corn, feed it to hogs and j make money in 1931 is the suggestion j W. W. Shay, swine extension special- ] ist at State College, is seeking to i broadcast over North Carolina this j winter. ] "There is no mystery in feeding ; corn to hogs for a good profit," says ; Mr. Shay. "Th idea is not patented ] nor copyrighted and if the plan of 1 feeding is followed systematically it will make money for the operator. \ The corn and hog combination is a- ] bout the only bright spot in North \ Carolina agriculture this year and be- ] ginning with 1931, the system should ] be made a permanant part of farm- 3 ing operations on every farm where ] as much as 35 bushels of corn an acre can be produced." i Mr. Shay poihts out that 35 bushels ] of corn should be easy to produce. 1 None of the 60 or more contestants ] in the Atlantic Coast Line 5-acre ? contest made less than 50 bushels the ? past season and the 4-H club boys en- . rolled in the Chilean Nitrate of Soda ? contest made from 80 to over 100 bushels an acre by following good i methods. Club boys generally doubled the annual average forj ' the State. This all indicates the ease with which good yields of corn may be produced. If this corn is hogged' down as was done by three good farmers in east ern Carolina last year it will pay 800 percent increase in profit over the old method of harvesting and selling it as grain. In addition, valuable plant food wBLhe left on the soil for build- ] ing up the land. Mr. Shay has worked out an interesting set of figures showing how the three men made their profits last season and will send a copy free to any person desiring to begin work this year. He has also pre pared extension circular 181 telling how to feed hogs for profit. This also may be had on application. . Home demonstration club women of Craven County donated over 100 jars of canned or preserved fruits and - vegetables to the needy of the county during the holiday season. ? ? ? ? ? ?' ? The 25 farmers' mutual exchanges now operating in this State did a combined business of over a million and a half dollars in 1930. R. J. Johnson, local negro farm agent m ureene uuuiiiy, was recently awarded a medal for haying done the beat work of any colored agent em ployed by the State College Evtanrion SenfcefelMO. O A,."' - ' Women Played Part In Farm Success Farm women and girls enrolled in borne demonstration clubs in the 56 counties where home demonstration agents are employed increased their supply of home canned goods by a quarter of a million cans in 1930 over tie previous year. "Our records show 1,411,376 cans of vegetables and fruits conserved during the spring and summer months of 1930," says Mrs. Jane S. McKim mon, state home agent and assistant director of extension at State College. "This increase of 250,000 cans over the previous year means that the pan try shelves of most farm homes are well stocked for the winter and that many women have a good surplus to sell for -cash on the curb markets of the State." Mrs. McKimmon says 1,550 pounds of vegetables, and 1,456 pounds of fruits are required for the average farm family of father, mother and three children if they are to be well fed through a year. A property plann ed canning budget requires 57 pints of vegetables and 47 pints of fruit for each person in the family during the year. In 1930, there were 7,000 farm homes where the mothers had a year around garden to supply the vebe table needs throughout the entire 12 months. A number of women have made re ports a3 to the value of their gardens last season. In addition to canning 800 pints of fruits and vegetables from her garden, one woman, who is a good example, said she sold $315.92 worth of garden produce and pantry supplies during the season. A Wake County farmer reports canning 8,000 different cans of material and is sell ing his surplus for cash. Under the direction of the home demonstration folks, also, some of the state institutions have been taught the right principles of good canning and saved much of their win ter food by this means. In seven counties, Negro farm women reported filling 111,352 cans of vegetables last season, says Mrs. McKimmon. Makes Money Farming And Scorns Relief As the live-at-home campaigners go about the State urging the adop tion of better fanning methods in 1931, they are constantly finding good fanners who are making a success of their business and are putting aside some cash each season. Such a person is Z. K. Simpson of Marshville, route 2, in Union County. Mr. Simpson is a young man, only 39; he is married; has five children, and owns the place he bought on a credit in 1919. T. J. W. Broow, county farm agent of Union County, says Mr. Simpson bought a farm of 78 acres for $3250 in 1919. A small inheritance of between $600 and $700 from his father was paid on the place and with that start Mr. Simpson began farm ing. The farm was poor with no im provements, only a small house to live in while he fought for something better. Today Mr. Simpson has the farm ill paid for. In addition he has built a new home costing $3,500 cash; a aew barn costing $500 cash; new poul try houses costing $500 cash, and has installed a $1,000 water system for bis home, barns and poultry yards. In addition he has $1,500 loaned out, has 22 bales of good cotton in storage and bas a nice checking account at the bank. The details of how he won this from the 78 acres of soil is interesting but i bard work and commonsense backed the enterprise. He first standardized bis fertilizer problem by using 1000 pounds of a 10-4-4 fertilizer per acre for his cotton. In 1930, he made 14 bales on 12 acres; in 1929 he made 16 bales on 13 acres; in 1928, he made J.3 bales on 12 acres, and in 1927 be made 23 bales on 18 acres. He ro- j tates his crops, has filled his soil with humus so that the fertilizer is more profitable and he has never run a time bill at the store nor bought feed and foodstuffs. His gross income each year from poultry, surplus milk, and garden stuff is over $5,000 in addi tion to his cotton and other cash crops. Now Is Time To Dig Nicaragua Canal There could be no better time than the present to begin the work of con structing a canal across Nicaragua, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It would provide work at good pay for tens of thousands of workers for years to come and it would benefit every part of the United States. The Panama Canal has proved a great success. It is earning more than its upkeep and in time will have re paid its cost But it is already being used almost to capacity and shipping men are wondering how long it will be before it is inadequate. Some peo ple are talking of a plan to dig the Panama Canal deeper, to make it a sea-level passageway. But that would take as much time as to build a new canal across Nicaragua, and would cost as much money. Under a treaty between the two nations, the United States and Nica ragua, ratified in 1916, we have the perpetual right to construct the Nica ragua canal, and to operate it as well as to fortify its approaches. Army engineers who have been surveying the route have finished their task and will shortly make a report which will indicate that it is entirely feasible. As soon as that report is in its hands Congress should authorize the begin ning of construction. The Nicaragua Canal will be 350 miles shorter?-a whole day's steam ing?than the Panama route between New York and Pacific ports-It will save 550 miles and two days time be tween New Orleans and Los Angeles. It will further reduce the cost of trans porting passengers and merchandise between our two coasts, and will ex pedite the transfer of our naval forces from one ocean to another in case of war. Moreover, it will bring the five* Central America republics into closer touch with the United States and will thereby tend to remove much of the ill-feeling, born of ignorance, which exists toward us in those regions. Those are some of the arguments in favor .of the Nicaragua Canal. We cannot at the moment think of a wood argument against it. RESOLUTIONS OF SYMPATHY Adopted by Ocklawaha Tribe No. 47 I. 0. R. M., January 28, 1931 Whereas: The Great Spirit in His goodness and wisdom has seen fit to remove to the Happy hunting ground the mother of our Sr. Sagamore, Bro. W.

There are more than twenty in all ? an unusually large num ber. Each bearing is adequate in size and carefully selected for the work it has to do. At some points in the Ford chassis you will find ball bearings. At others, roller bearings are used regardless of their higher cost. The deciding factor is the per formance of the car. The extensive use of ball and roller bearings in the new Ford insures smoother operation, saves gasoline, increases speed and power, gives quicker pick-up, de creases noise, and gives greater reliability and longer life to vital moving parts. Other outstanding features that make the new Ford i a value far above the price are the Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield, silent, fully enclosed four-wheel brakes, four Houdaille double-acting hydraulic shock absorb ers, aluminum pistons, chrome silicon alloy valves, three-quarter floating rear axle, Rustless Steel, the ex tensive use of fine steel torgings, and unusual accuracy in manufacturing.
