Corn-Hog Program Adds To Income North Carolina producers of corn and hogs are failing to share in liberal benefit payments by not tak ing more interest in the corn-hog adustment program. W. W. Shay, swine extension spe cialist at State College, says that only 1,327 contracts have been sign ed in 14 counties to date. This is an average of about 95 contracts to the county, yet the facts show that there are an average of 468 farms in these 14 counties reporting some hogs grown, . Shay finds further that there are 114-89 farms in the whole State where some hogs are grown. This is an average of 412 farms to each of the 100 counties. "If only 50 farms in each of these 100 counties would sign for a reduc tion of as much as seven head of' pigs per farm, the income in bene fit payments would amount to ap- j proximately one-half a million dol- j iars this year," Shay say. "A far- j mer can sign to reduce by as much as one pig and get $15 for the ani-' mal; yet, many of our growers who are selling hogs are required to pay the processing tax and are not pro tecting themselves by joining in on the reduction program." Only two counties have completed their sign-up campaignes to date. Mr. Shay believes there are a large number of farmers who would like to have a part in the program if they knew about it. He has one contract from a man who is reducing his hogs by 164 head under the base period of 1932 and 1933 and will get a bene fit payment amounting to $2,460. In addition, corn production may be curtailed and the grower will be paid 30 cents a bushel acco-ding to I the past production of the land. Mr. Shay states that the sign-up campaign will be closod on May ] j and he is hopeful that more North Carolina farmers will take an interest j in the program before it is too late. FIDELiS CLASS HONORS TEACHERS The Fidelis Class of the Baptist1 Sunday School, entertained on Tues day evening at the home of Mrs. J. M.. Wheless, honoring the teachers, who are members of this group. Miss Alice Coggins of the Domestic Sci ence department is class president.

Holmes and J, R, Shearin, in cos tumes, afforded much merriment and a flower contest, ip which MisS Chrystelle Lucas and Mr. Shearin were winners, proved enjoyable. Mrs. Holmes, impersonating the black laundreress of "dem Baptist tachers," arrived in time to return to each one a'lovely handkerchief, which had been lost by them in. "de wash." Music for the occasion was furnished by a male quarette, composed of John and Elbert Holmes, Francis Pratt and Rev. L. R. Ennis. A delicious salad course was serv ed at the close of the evening.
