You need a doctor if it's acuta, indigestion and a lawyer if it's acute indiscretion. You can find trouble by lookingfor it but happiness hides out if it is looked for. A- man doesn't need a conscience to tell him when he has done wrong. His wife will tell him. Before a job can be done there must first be the imagineering and then the engineering. Its all in the view points. Doctors say change adds to health and bankers say it adds to wealth. Uncle Mose: Some folks whut ain't cotton farmers will hab cotton patches nex' year—on de back ob dey pants. Dry goods market report: Department stores state that stocks of elastic are exhausted and women's stockings are dovfn. If the nation's 27- million motorists cut their 1943 driving to the figure recommended—5,000 miles—they will save more than 17 million tires, according to estimates. • There's no need for a chewing gum shortage. A scrap drive under the church pews, school desks, theatre sea^a and other public places will produce enough to last for the duration. If each of the 31 million U. S. families bought one leas can of canned goods per week, the steel saved would meet steel requirements of 6,000 medium tanks, there woold be tin for 360,OdO 75mm. howitxprs, rubber for 2,000 jeeps. If a woman learns that the man she refused to marry since becomes rich while the one she married has remained poor she might comfort herself with the reflection that the other nun would-have remained poor if she had married him. 4-H Contest Winners For 1942 Are Chosen State winners of 4-H Club contests for 1942 have been announced by L.

ANSWER:' A majority at deaths among workstock can be attributed to improper feeding, poor management, and internal parasites. If the 95 percent 0/ the homes and mules in North Carolina infested with parasites were given medicinal treatment, good feeding and care would put them in condition for maximum efficiency. QUESTION: Does the same schedule of curing.apply to a 400-pound hog as for a 250-pound one? ANSWER: E. V. Vestal, animal husbandry Extension Specialist, says the same rate of curing of 2 days per pound per piece will apply for the 400-pound hogs except lor hams and shoulders weighing over 30 pounds. These should be cured for six weeks. After curing, the mixture should be washed off the meat. Then the m&t should be hung up and smoked to taste with hickory chips or hardwood. Finally, it should be wrapped to heavy brown paper and sacked for storage. QUESTION: What are prospects for eggs to the year ahead? ANSWER: . A new record to egg production is expected to be set next year. Since feed and egg prices seem likely to continue favorable to feeding layers, experts believe there will be 6 to 8 percent more layers on farms the first of 1943 than a year earlier. Despite the record egg production, it is believed that egg prices will be even, higher next year than in 1942. BANGS The following North Car&lina counties have been reaccredited as free from Bangs disease: Bladen, Cabarrus, Clay, Durham, Forsyth, Macon, R^iran and Wayne. ACHIEVEMENT During the peat week, the Nation's 1,500,000 4-H Club members checked on their contributions to the war effort and made plans for even greater service to 1943. According to Government estimates, the seasonal kill of waterfowl would provide enough down and feathers for 300,000 aviators' pants and parkas, more than 10,000 sleeping bags or 600,000 sub-zero jackets, if hunters plucked and turned to the down and small body feathers of all birds they kill. Old Tobacco Cotmty Does Balanced Farming Granville County, one of the old tobacco growing- counties of North Carolina and a place where producing p fine quality of leaf is a cherished art, belies that a balanced system of fanning is best m the long run. There are 3,555 farms in the county according to agricultural statistics but there are only 2,400 farms according to AAA work sheets. On these farms, lff,0C0 acres of tobacco were grown this year along with about 3,500 acres of cotton. Yields of 1,000 to as much as 1,800 pounds of cured leaf per acre are reported in the county this season and a bale to the acre of cotton is an accepted situation. The yields of com and other crojjs have been good also. But right now, says County Agent C. V. Morgan, Granville farmers are concerned about finishing "stripping" their tobacco in time for the market and in Beeding more than 60,000 pounds of crimson clover and 10,000 pounds of Austrian winter pea- seed. This much seed has been secured as graatof-aid material from the AAA and is in addition -to a large amount bought locally. Granville farmers also have been busy planting rye, ?ats and wheat for winter grain and For grazing and turning under. Six milk routes, in addition to one leading directly into Raleigh, operate over the county and in the peak season, 1,700 pounds of milk a day is delivered to the receiving station at Oxford.
