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.

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. . .

cured tobacco to attend the an
nual stockholders meeting of the
Flue-Cured Tobacco Cooperative
Stabilization Corporation at Pull

Friday, June 30.
“The success of the Stabiliza
tion program has been proved
during the period it has been in
operation,” Morgan said. “Those
interested in tobacco will find the
annual; stockholders meeting this
year one of the most profitable
yet held.
“A splendid but brief program
has been arranged for the meet
ing, with Dr. R. F. Poole, presi
dent of Clemson College, Clem-
son, S. C., and konwn to tobacco
growers in every flue-cured
state.”
Morgan said the success of the
Stabilization program is looked
upon by "leaders in agriculture,
business and government as an
outstanding example of what can
be done when a group determines,
to help itself.
“Every grower who possibly
can and everyone else connected
with' tobacco in any manner
should avail IriiBself of the
portunity td attead the StabOi*
zation stoekixdders’ meeting,**
Morgan said. Infmmation of great
value will be made available at
the meeting, which promises to
be more interesting than any of
the three yearly sessions preced
ing it.” ■ ■"

QUESTION: Do hogs need very
much water?
ANSWER: Yes, especially in
summer. Jack Kelley, swine
specialist for the State College
Extension Service, says water
consumption varies with hogs,
but an 80-pound pig will drink
approximately one and a half gal
lons of water each day when a
constant supply is kept before the
animal. 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.
