Pri. elk ^qiloym About Paul Dickson, conunander of Battery A, 130th Antiaircraft Ar tillery Automatic Weapons Batta lion, of the North Carolina Nation^ al Guard, today appealed to em ployers to release their men who are members of the for period of National Guard encamp ment to be held at Camp Stewart, Ga., during the period of August 5th through August 20. Capt. Dickson cited the follow ing item from the 'NATIONAL GUARDSMAN, official publica tion of the Nationar Guard Asso ciation of the United States, a? being of interest to all. “Just about the time this issue of the NATIONAL GUARDS MAN reaches you, some thousands of I your fellow-citizens will have begun a sudden transformation. They will have shed their mail man’s uniform, their butcher’s apron, their mechanic’s cover alls, their business suits. And, de pending upon the local climate, they will have donned khaki cot ton or O. D. woolen uniforms. They will have abandoned their mailbags, their cleavers, . their tools, their desks, or their school books, to manhandle, heavy guns into towing position behind I)rime movers, to heave duffle bags and field ranges and other martial gear into GI trucks or baggage cars. No, the cold war hasn’t sudden ly turned hot - it’s just a pheno menon of American life that has been repeated every year for de cades, barring the years in which actual shooting wars were going on. It’s the preparation for the National Guard’s annual field training period. Between early' June and early September, this aptivity will have taken place in thousands of com munities across the Nation, and upward of 300,000 National Guardsmen will have put in their 15 days'of Summer camp as a means of rovmding-out their pre paration for defense of their homes and yours, their country and yours. ^ That two weeks is the climax of a w'hole year of two-hour, once-a-year drills back home. In their_ armories, the troops' have done their classroom and drill floor work. But that is only the first step, comparable, to the foot ball team “skull sessions”. It is only in the field training that they dan run through their various plays and learn to function - and to fight, if it ever becomes neces sary again - as a team. That, after all is their mission. And the men who are attending field training are doing their best to perform their mission. Those men cause us no concern.

AUTO INH ESSO PRODUCTS — ATLAS TIRES Phone 24-81 They’re doing their job and their duty. But there,will be blank spaces in man^ of the squads and gun^ crews - spaces that would be filled but for one little hitch: the absentee’s boss “couldn’t spare” him from his workday job. It leaves his company or his battery in the same fix as a football, team, which finds that some of its most promising stars of the practice season, can’t turn out for Satur day’s game. You - the boss - have problems galore. Each ^ne of your workers has specfic duties to ■ perform, or you wouldn’t have hired him. And when he’s on vacation,»some- one else has to take up the slack. And if, on top of that, he’s going to be let off for 15 days of field training, it’s that much more of a problem. The ^^ational Guard is asking that you exert that extra effort, to make that additional adjust ment. One man, more or less, does make a difference to a squad or a gun crew - at least as import ant a difference as it makes to the operaition of your business. It makes a difference in the status of training, and operational effi ciency, of the man’s own outfit. Multiplied by 5,000 units, it makes a difference in the relatives read iness of the whole National Guard which is striving to fit itself for potential M-Day missioii in the defense of the Nation. Whether you are an industrial magnate, a merchant prince, or the proprietor of a three-man shop, it is important that you back up the men who are sacrificing much of their own time in the interest of preparedness. You can do this by letting them go to camp at no sacrifice of earnings or vacation rights. The National Guard dqes not expect you to denude your estab lishment of male employees every time field training season rolls around. It does ask to encourage a reasonable pefportion of your workers - and this may vary among different businesses, or among various departments of a large concern' - to join the Na tional Guard and to attend Sum mer camp without losing normal vacations or ending up financial Ijr out-of-pocket. And when you do adopt such a policy, please see that “the word” is passed down the line, so that everyone knows about it, and knows that you mean it. It will mean that much more of contribution to the safety of your home, your family, your business, and your country. Kelley points but, less feed wlB be isqui^ to sp«x>duce gain, and &e daily gath-will be increased. About one-half the live weight of a hog is water; thus it is im possible for the animal to deve lop unless sufficient water is sup plied. Water not only helps the hog make' better use of its feed, but during the summer months it will help prevent the loss of hogs from over-heating. If running water is not avail able, a home-made barrel wacer- er is satisfactory. Plans for this type waterer may he obtai.ied from the local county agent. QUESTION;- When soybaans are grown following Irish potatoes what kind of fertilizer is needed? ' ANSWER: In manv cases no fer- ! t tilization at all will be needed. Tests conducted at the Tidewater Branch Experiment Station near Plymouth showed that high yields of soybeans can be obtained without use of fertilizer when the soybeans follow Irish pota toes." C. D. Welch and W. L. Nel son, soil fertility scientists, re ported that soybeans planted a- bout June 20-25 after a crop of Irish potatoes made an a\erage yield of 31.6 bushels per acre. Welch and Nelson point out that potatoes generally receive high amounts of fertilizer, usually about one ton of' 6-8-6. A con siderable amount of this is left in the soil after the potato crop is harvested. Soybeans have a somewhat more extensive root system than potatoes and can utilize residual fertilizer effective ly. . . 0- To guard against the entry of such devastating diseases as Asia tic or European New castle di sease and fowl plague, the U.

ANSWER: Yes, especially in summer.

Experiments shovr that hogs will g3m 15 per cent faster when they have free access to water at all times instead of re ceiving water only three times a day. If hogs get plenty of water.
