Licenses Now on Sale i Raleigh, Aug. 6.?The new com bination State hunting and fishing licenses for 1936-37 are now on sale since the old licenses expired July | 31, John D. Chalk, State inland game and fish commissioner, an- , nounced today. The new liuenses are in somewhat different form, consist ing of a metal badge instead of a celluloid button, and are good until July 31, 1937. The cost is $3.10 and will permit the holder to hunt or fish anywhere in the State for 12 months, in accordance with the various hunt ing and fishing seasons, of course. A State hunting license, without" the fishing privileges, is $2.10 and a county license, limiting hunting to only one county, is $1.10. A State fishing license is also $2.10 and a county fishing license $1.10, while fishing permits are sold on a daily basis of $1 a day. Thus a sports man who wants to hunt and fish both in the course of a year will save $1.10 by buying the combination hunting and fishing license of $3.10, Mr. Chalk pointed out. The State bunting licenses at $2.10 will not go om sale until the first hunting season opens, which will probably be about September 1, when the dove shooting season will open. At the present time, however, it is not know just when the dove season will open tins year, aa it it fixed by the U. S. Biological Survey in Wash ington, Mr. Chalk said But indica tions are that the dove season this year will be a split season, the first being from September 1 to Septem bar 30, with the ?Ml part of t??

Thomas Ennett, health officer. Notices went out to physicians in the county today informing them of the two cases of the disease, both in Fountain, township, and also of the case of infantile paralysis which was reported yesterday. The health officer said that Rocky Mountain spotted fever is a comparatively new disease in North' Carolina, the flrBt cases appearing in 1933, but added the malady has been known in the Rocky Mountain regious since 1873. Declaring he felt it desirable to inform the public of a few facts.re garding the disease, he issued the following statement: "It is transmitted by the tick, and therefore most frequent in the late summer and early fall, the "tick season." Small, wild rodents, such as bquirrels, chipmunks, etc., con-1 stitute the basic animal reservoir; this is where the tick gets its in fection. "In addition to human beings get ting the tick on them by going into the woods, the tick may be brught to the home by the house dog, and this is a common way for the dis ease to be transmited. "The incubation period, the time which it takes the disease to de velop, following the tick bite, is us ually two to eight days, ' . "The chief symptoms are fever, intense headache, joint pains and a rash. This rash appears as a rule on the 5th or 6th day of illness and is usually first noticed on the wrists or ankles and may extend over the entire body, including the arms and soles. "It is not contagious, that is, one person cannot give it to another person. "Persons whose business or pleas ure carries them into the woods dur ing the tick season should have their clothing and body inspected for ticks at least twice a day. Dogs that run in the woods should be inspected regularly for ticks. "Rocky Mountain spotted fever is a aserious disease. The mortality in the Eastern section of the United States is around 20 per cent while in the Rocky Mountain regions the mortality runs as high as 70 per cent. "It is important that you consult your physician on the first appear ance of symptoms."

Farm and Home Week Attracts Thousands After an absence of two years, farmers and farm women flocked to the State College campus July 27-31 to participate, in another successful Farm and Home week. Cancelled last year because of the State-wide outbreak of infantile par alysis, the event this year attracted thousands of both old and new at tenders from all parts of the State. The season was somewhat marred by adverse weather conditions, first by a heat wave and then by rain. Had it not been for these inclement conditions, the attendance probably would have been boosted by several hundred. Those attending went through a five-day period of education and re creation. During that time they heard many prominent agricultural leaders speak on various phases of farming. Among the speakers were: J. B. Hutson, director of the Soil Conservation program in the east central states ; Edwin A. O'Neal, President of the American Farm Bu reau Federation; Dr. Clarence Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer, aand Harry A. Caton, secretary of the National Grange. Master Farmer awards went to: J. M. German, Wilkes County; H. G. Ashcraft, Mecklenburg; W. B. Craw ford, Iredell; Robert Flake Shaw, Guilford; E. J. Harris, Cumbeland; J. P. and G. W. Ball, Carteret; J. B. McDevitt, Madison; and Thomas D. Temple, Halifax. The Home-Maker's certificate of merit was awarded to Mrs. Hubert Boney, of Duplin County, for out standing work in the home. Dean I. 0. Schaub and other offi cials of the Extension Service ex pressed themselves as being weil pleaased with the way in which the Farm and Home Week was carried out. Swine Production Again Attractive The production of pigs has again become attractive as compared with the past three or four years, primar ily because of the increase in price without a corresponding increase in the cost of feeds. For example, says Earl H. Hos tetler, professor of animal husband ry at State College, in June, 1932, hogs were worth only $3.62 per hun dred pounds. In June of this year their value was almost three times that amount, yet the price of corn has advanced to only about twice its value in 1932. Because corn and hogs go hand in hand in the corn belt section of the United States, it is only natural that corn and hog prices should fol low each other closely, points out Hostetler. So now is the time to raise more pigs while corn prices are low. .* I North Carolina is better suited for the raising of swine than the Mid-Western statues, declares Hos tetler. Not only is there an abund ance of feed available for commer cial hog production, but there is al so a milder climate. This permits a greater use of forage crops and re quires less expensive housing. Then, too, this State is within a reasonable distance of the highest market in the United States, New York and vicinity. Another distinct advantage, points out Hostetler, is that there is plenty of protein supplements to corn such as fish meal, cottonseed meal, soy bean meal, and peanut meal. These products are all high in nitrogen and are relatively cheap because they can be fed in the vicinity in which they are produced and manufactured wiithout payng any considerable am ount for transportation. 1
