FARM QUESTIONS
* . ■ v
QUESTION: What is the most
economical ratio© for fatening hogs?
ANSWER: Experiment Station re
sults indicate a ration of shelled
corn, equal parts by weight of fish
fish meal or tankage, cottonseed meal,
and soybean or peanut meal, as well
as minerals. A formula suggested
by E. V. Vestal, JDibension swine
specialist, follows: 320 pounds of
shelled corn, 16 pounds of soybean
meal, and 2 pounds of minerals. Of
course, a good grazing crop is also
important.
QUESTION: What is a good con
trol measure for Mexican bean
beetles on snap beans
ANSWER; Rotenone dust applied
to the under side of the leaves when
the adult beetles first appear and
again when the spiny yellow larvae
are first noticed will usually give
good control. Incidentally, since
map beans will usually mature in
about 60 days, they may be planted
in the State as late as August 15
and still make s good crop.
tunities IT gires me, I feel constrain
ed in this my Country's "Hoar of
trial" to express some of my grati
tude for the privileges that have been
mine. ■ > *•'*
I was born "with a silver spoon
in my mouth." Fifty yean ago a
poor boy on the farm had but few
tilings within his own reach. Had it
not been that my Country provided
free public schools, I might never
have been ibie to read our Constitu
tion which guarantees our freedom.
Had not our Country given every one
"The right to worship God as con
science dictates" and the religious
freedom that derives from that, I
might never have known Christ and
His church. Had not my Country
encouraged personal initiative on
the part of church leaders as well as
others, so that the church established
schools and colleges where self-help
was available to any and all, I might
never have gone beyond the free
public schools in pursuit of knowl
edge.
Had not my Country permitted the
free choice of occupations or callings,
I might never have entered the min
istry of the Word. Had not my
Country recognized the need for and
usefulness of the church and its sub
sideries, I should never have been
able to serve mankind even as well
as I have. And I wish to humbly
confess that no one knows more keen
ly how feeble these services are and
have been.
So I owe quite a debt to my Coun
try I can never pay it all, but I do
wish to help preserve it and its fine
traditions for all American youth.
And I think there are ways other
than with gun or bayonet we may
help to k$ep old Glory aloft. We
can first, livfe up to her great privil
eges by being better men and wom
en. Second, we can guard jealously
her Laws and Traditions by seeing
that every phase of the Constitution
is preserved and that every man shall
enjoy the same freedom of speech,
freedom of worship and free exercise
of his God given conscience. By be
ing zealous for these, we shall show
ourselves true Americans, preserve
them wholly for future generations
and discharge some of the duties we
owe the founding Fathers and the God
who led them to establish a country
where the "Four freedoms"live—live,
never die, we pray.'

North Carolina farmers who still
are gathering scrap metal on their
farms for use in the nation's steel
mills are cautioned not to sell for
scrap any pieces which are usable
for farm purposes. The North Caro
lina USDA War Board, with head
quarters at State College, says many
pieces of scrap metal often contain
parts which may be used in repair
ing farm machinery. The board says,
however, that every bit of scrap not
usable for other purposes is vitally
needed in making arms and munitions
to fight the Axis, and should be
placed in trade channels as rapidly
as possible. The scrap collection
campaign will continue for the dura
tion. It is no more a one-week or
one-month campaign than the war
is a one-week or one-month conflict,
the board points out.
