rJ N. C.’s Corn Chami^ To "Be Recognized I T « t B^MWART NELSON ilJAPPY new year!” ^ "nje cry echoed and re-echoed down the street as Penny made her way toward the bus slop. Every where about her people were light hearted and gay and busily wishing tiheir friends good fortune for the coming year. She buttoned her coat at the neck and turned up the collar. It was a bitterl.v cold day and she told herself she would be happy to reach home and stay in for the night. Let those with pio neer blood go out and stand in the raw wind dow-n at Da^lon Circle just tP-blow a silly horn at midnight os tensibly to usher in the new year. Penny had always been known at borne as a sensible girl with good • common sense. She was proud of that reputation and now that she lived in the city alone she was more determined than ever to live up to it. She didn't want t.6 become a sophisticated, worldly wiseitcity girl. Thus.- she summed up mentally, it was just as weli she didn’t. ■ "Going o.ut tonigrit. Penny?” The words interrupted her thoughts and she turned to greet Ruby, a fellow worker who was al ways going out with someone she caDed "Beanie.” You could always teE the status of Ruby’s romance by her mood: if she w'as exuberant to the jxiint of bcirig giddy, she was ■ going lo see Beanie that night; if she was quiet and petulant, she hadn't heard from ^im, and if she was downright rude with a sarcastic twist to every remark she made, then they had quarreled. ■penny smiled. “No, I'm not, Rury." she replied. Odd that she should feel such emptiness within her as she said the words. She not ed Ru'oy's quick glance of sympathy and it irritated her. "1 don't know- .-a "But her tool missed and came dowB on a sheet of ice.” ariyone here,” she defended herself. Then added curtly, "And anyway. 1 wouldn’t dream of going out in such ghastly weather.” Ruby shrugged. “Oh, well, if you feel that way about it . . . happy pew year. Penny.” She hurried away before the wretched girl could ma'^e any response. "Now why did 1 act so nasty?" she asked under her breath. Ruby hadn't meant any oSense—she w-as simply so wrapped op. in her own little world that she felt sorry for anyone w'ho had no Beanie to which to cling. She was essentially a generous person and now Penny had deliberately hurt her. M. A S SHE stood in the middle of the sidewalk, angry and discour aged, she saw her bus speeding reck lessly dowp the street and without another thought'^ anything else she hurried toward the comer. "Wait, oh, wait!” she called, running breath lessly. No one else was waiting, however, and he careened sharply off the curb, hurrying on his way. “ON dear!” She burst into tears at this new disappointment and reached blindly for the curb. But her foot missed and cairie dowtn on a sheet of jefe sending her into an astonished heap in the street. For a moment she was too stunned to move. She heard footsteps hur rying toward her and inanaged to ail up dazedly. A man knelt down beside her but his face was a blur of features. “Take it easy,” he admem- isbed. placing an arm across her back. She tried to fociis her eyes vpoa him and hadn’t quite succeed ed when he cried, "Penny! Why, Penny Lindsay! What in the world wc you doing out here?” And then everything cleared and the saw the handsome, blond fea tures of a former school friend. “Oh, Alan!” Tears tumbled over ;ach other in hasty exit. He'helped to her fee,i. y "Gee, it's good to %Dmegne from‘ the old home vvn, I’ve' been so"doggone-lonely,” he tcld herym’driipulating the; hand kerchief skillfully around her nose tnc eyes. •.Tm lonely; loo,” she gasped.' “I’ve only b^en here a rr.onth.’^ “Say! What -are'■you doing to night? Anything?" "N-pothing." Her heart skipped » beat in anticipation. “Then why don’t we go somewhere end talk over old times? Gee, I'm '^ing to bear some gossip about the Wmerz the Mitchells and all rest. Will you. Penny!!' , And Penny ’’smiled happily.' this - tfme. “Yes; Alan, fiven this jg^st- Ijr weather couldn’t stop me from ^lk>n over old times with youf* A $100 Saving Bond will be a- warded to North Carolina’s far mers who produced' the highest yield of corn per acre in 1947 at the joint annual meeting of the North Carolina Crop Improve ment Association, North Carolina Foundation Seed Producers, In corporated, and^ the 100 Bushel Corn Club. The joint two-day meeting will be. held in Rocky^Mount, January 8-9, says A . D. Stuart, Extension Seed Improvement specialist at State College, and will be spon sored by the^ocky Mount Cham ber of Commerce. The second and third highest corn producers in the state dur ing 1947 will also be awarded a 7n ♦dollar and 50 dollar Saving Bond respectively. Other awards to be made at the meeting in elude those to One 4-H Club boy and one FFA boy winning in the speaking contest, telling how they raised /lOO bushels or more corn per acre. ...A seed exposition which is open only to members of the Nor th Carolina Crop Improvement Association, will haije among the many’ exihibits complete sets of mark'etable grades of hybrid corn. This is the first time such exhi bits have been prepared at the exposition, Mr. Stuart said. Since m«st. of the state’s hybrid seed growers are marketing their corn under these grades, it will offer the public a chance ■ to see and study how the grades are dlitjided. =0 — to reduce costs and save feed. Feeding on'the ground is waste ful; well - constructed troughs, feeders and feeding floors should be pnOfvided. Clean, fresh water and sanitary lots and housing aid health and reduce losses from di seases and parasiites. \ A large number of farmers have recently jepo: ted that their and more laying mash be fed those kept. During the winter, is advisable to keep warm water for the biyds early in the morn ing if practical. At any rate, binds should be supplied with' a fresh supply of water each day. It is best to feed mash each day in or der to keep it fresh as the poul try will eat it more regularly. poultry flocks had reduced great ly in egg production and a num ber of them had gone into a molt. There may be many reasons why this condition now exists. For one thing, the weather has become cold and damp causing a natural let-down in egg production.-Then too, feed, has been so high that vei> little laying mash has been fed. This caused a deficiency in prc% in and mineral in the bird’s body', and when the cool weather came the flock was not in condi- tiihn to continue laying. It is sug gested that where this condition exists, that the poor producing birds be culled- from the flock WANT ADS GUNS repaired and restocked. Kqys made. Safes opened and repaired.

Jack Kelly, Extension Switine Special ist, was present ani4’judged the pigs.l He stated that tke boys had done a very good job of feeding and handling their pigs. He pointy ed out to the boys some of, the important points ahlout feeding and managing pigs. He stated that every person who has hogs should have a pasture in which to Help grow and develop a good brood sow. Good management and sanita tion, feeding balanced rations to thriifty, well-bred hogs, and lim- itlhg market weights to 200 to 225 pounds are recommended for profitable pork production' under today’s conditions.' Ample protein, vitamins . arid minerals are essential in swine rations, and Experiment Stations have found that one pound of protein supple ment .in a balanced ration saves five to six pounds of grain. Liberal feeding, from birth un til sale at 200 to 225 pounds, mak es the rhost rap?d and usually most ecohomical Shirts.
