Boar Management - Prior to
?nd During Breeding - Prior to
the breeding season, several
management practices should
be taken care of. Culling tusks
? mature boars should be
checked. Old boars often cut
sows and gilts and are a danger
to the man working with them
Cut tusks at least two (2)
weeks prior to breeding in case
the boar becomes sore -
mouthed and goes off feed.
Rings ? if rings are to be
used, insert them at least two
weeks before breeding. Since
the boar uses his snout in the
courting process, a tender nose
will affect his performance.
Working the boar - A week
or so before the regular
breeding season begins, breed a
boar 3 or 4 times to gilts or
sows that are to be sold to
remove old sperm from the
reproductive system.
Breeding Area - If a
controlled breeding program is
to be followed, it is usually
best to put the sow into the
boar lot for mating. When the
boar is carried to a strange
area, often he will waste time
inspecting the new area.
Mating - There are several
systems of mating, any of
which may be satisfactory on
certain forms. Pasture - Boar
and sows in same lot. Rotation
? (1) With 3 boars * each boar
in 12 hours and out 24 hours.
(2) With 2 boars ? each boar in
12 hours and out 12 hours. (3)
3 - day - night ? boar in
breeding pen only at night,
rests during the day in hot
weather or reverse in winter.
Hand Mating - sow put with
boar and removed after mating
Feet - Be sure his feet are
sound, and trim the toes if
they are too long or not
wearing evenly.
Health - Do not use boars
that have been sick recently. If
a boar runs a high temperature,
a month or more may be
required for sperm production
and quality to return to
normal. Allow the boar to
serve 3 or 4 times on gilts or
sows that are to be sold to
remove abnormal sperm from
the reproductive tract.

The Agricultural Act of
1970 provides a new farm
Rrogram to all producers in the
ation. There are some points
that? farmers should keep in
mind in order to keep their
farms in line.
1. The bill requires that a
certain percentage of the base
allotment be planted to protect
the farm history. Cotton 90% ?
Feed Grains 45% - Wheat 90%
2. Indications are that
n
Bishop Gerald Kennedy of
the United Methodist Church
tells an old story of a hungry
Arab, who, one night in his
tent, lighted a candle, and
peeled open a date. To his
dismay, there was a worm, so
he threw it aside. A second and
third date also had worms.
Exasperated, the Arab blew
out the candle and ate the
fourth date.
"Rather than face
unpleasant realities,"
comments Bishop Kennedy,
"we often find it easier to stay
with things as they are and
hope for the best. It hardly
ever works."
Many of us may be like the
Arab: we do not like to face
unpleasant realities. One of the
most unpleasant realities for
Christians today are the rapid
changes - sociological,
technological, theological,
moral, political - taking place
in our world. They are
unpleasant because they are
challenging us to change and
we do not want to change. It is
not so strange, then that many
of us look back to the "good
old days" and sing "Give me
that old time religion ... it's
good enough for me."
No doubt about it, the old -
time religion was good. Bui
what we forget is that what
made it "good" was that in its
own day it spoke to the needs
of people where they were. Its
genius was that it was not
geared to sonte day gone by,
but present circumstances.
Though it preserved the best of
the past, it was not afraid to
push on into the future with
whatever new resources God
would give.
When we go back into the
Bible we find that all the great
moments of spiritual history
were regarded as "new -
tangled" by people when they
first appeared. Moses was often
rejected by his people because
he would introduce some "new
thing" from God. It doesn't
take too much imagination to
hear the people of Israel greet
Moses down from Mount Sinai
with the Ten Commandments,
saying: "But we never did it
that way before'"
It was the same story when
Israelite leaders tried to unite
soybeans may not be
substitutable for feed grains.
3. The land occupied by the
non ? program crops, like
barley, cannot be used to fill
the set aside requirements in
the feed grain, wheat and
cotton programs.
4. The preliminary figures
for set - asides are: Cotton 20%
? Feed Grains 20% ? Wheat 60 -
75%.
5. Land included in the set ?
aside must be land from which
a crop has been harvested in
one of the last three years. This
means that fields which have
been retired under diversion
programs cannot be counted in
the set - aside acreage.
the tribes into one unified
nation, when David sought to
build a temple, when prophets
challenged the people with
their "new ideas." It was also
this kind of resistance which
gave Jesus so much opposition
and which, indeed, brought
about his death. Hes preaching
and teaching were radically
"new" and "different" and
quite contrary to much that
the rabbis held dear.
Jesus tried to help them to
understand that his message
was not really "new*", but
rather a contemporary
interpretation of the eternal
truth. No one, he said, "puts a
piece of unshrunk cloth on an
old garment, for the patch
tears away from the garment
and a worse tear is made." The
same is true in trying to pour
new wine into old wineskins.
The fermentation of the new
wine will burst the old,
weakened material.
The wineskins are the
various forms in which we
express our religion. They are
our religious institutions, our
style of church life, our form
of worship, our mode of
witness. These forms wear ? out
in time and the freshness of the
Gospel is always in danger of
bursting them. The important
thing is not the wineskin, the
form, but the eternal reality.
the new wine. It is the Gospel,
not our forms of expressing it.
that is eternai. At one time it
was normative to worship
secretly in catacombs, today
there is no need to do so. The
important thing is that we
worship, not where or how 01
when.
Read II Corinthians
5 17-21
It any man be in Christ, he is
a new creature Old things are
passed away; behold, all things
are become new. (II
Corinthians 5 17-21)
The triggerfish. so named
because the tins near the top of
its head resemble the trigger on
a gun. is possibly one of the
most beautiful of highly
colored fish. While it is in
seawater, the colors are very
striking; but when it is taken
out of the water, it loses all its
beautiful colors in a few
minutes.
So it is with us. God created
man in His own image. But
when sin influences a person, it
discolors his life, and he takes
on the ugliness of that sin.
Only in right relationship to
God can man be most
beautiful.
Man can attain his real
beauty by coming to Christ in
humility and sincerity, and
confessing his sins and asking
forgiveness. If you and I repent
of our wrong deeds, if we leave
them and accept Christ by
faith, we become new -? more
joyful in spirit and in outlook,
more vital in our living.
PRAYER Dear Lord, help us
this day, people guilty of sins
and shortcomings, to seek
earnestly Your forgiveness.
Cleanse us of our sins that we
may be reinstated in the family
of God. In Your name we pray.
Amen THOUGHT FOR THE
DAY: When we admit Christ
into our hearts, we become
new and renewed.

consider (he insulation
qualities of wood, reports the

according to the Institute,
provides the same insulation
qualities as six inches of brick

in the county by Sandhills Community College. One Raeford couple has completed four chairs
during the course. A new class, to be taught by Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Nickens, will begin next v,eek.
The class is filled, county home agents say, but persons interested in upholstering should call the

Taxpayers Ask IRS
This column of questions and answers on federal
tax matters is provided by the local office of the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service and is published as a public
service to taxpayers. The column answers questions
most frequently asked by taxpayers.
Q) This summer I didn't ex
pect I'd owe any taxes so I
filled out the form that keeps
income taxes from being taken
out of your pay. Now I've gone
back to work part-time for the
same company and I think I
will o*e tax after all. What
should I do?
A) File a new Form W-4,
Employee's Withholding Ex
emption Certificate. This will
authorize your employer to
withhold Federal income taxes
on your earnings for the bal
ance of the year.
If you estimate that your
withholding will he less than
your tax liability, you may
want to claim no exemptions
on the W-4. This will increase
the amount taken out of your
pay for taxes. You will still be
entitled to claim all the ex
emptions you are entitled to
when you file your tax return.
Q) There was a fire in my
apartment and some of the fur
niture was so badly damaged I
had to get rid of it. Can I de
duct this as a fire loss?
A) Yes, personal losses due
to the fire are deductible to
the extent they exceed $100. To
arrive at the amount of your
loss, take the smaller of the
original cost of the furniture
or the difference l>et\veen the
fair market value of the items
before and after the fire.
If you were covered by in
surance and received compen
sation for the loss, this com
pensation should he subtracted
from the amount you may de
duct.
For more derails, send a post
card to your IRS district office
and ask for a free copy of
Publication 517. "Tax Infor
mation on Disasters. Casualty
Losses, and Thefts."
Q) I just switched jobs and
my company is taking social
security ta\ out of my pay ex en
though I paid the limit on my
old job. Is there any way 1 can
stop this?
A) No. employers are re
quired by law to withhold so
cial security taxes on the first
$7,800 of wages paid to each
of their employees. If more
than the maximum is withheld
from your pay this year be
cause you had two or more em
ployers you should take a
credit for the excess against
your income tax. This is ex
plained in the instructions you
will receive in January with
your tax forms.
Q) Our second child was
born in September. Does that
mean I get a 8650 exemption
for him?
A) No, the amount allowed
for personal exemptions on in
come tax returns for the 1970
tax year is $625. For withhold
ing purposes, exemptions were
$600 ior the first half of 1970
and are 8650 for the second
half of the year.
Exemptions are not pro
rated so you are entitled to
the full 3625 no matter when
in the year your child was
born.
Q) Can you count groceries
given to a church Thanksgiving
benefit as a charitable contri
bution?
A i Yea. food, clothing and
other items given to a charita
ble organization are deductible
contributions. I'se the fair
market value of the items to
determine the amount of the
deduction.
Note that food or clothing
given to an individual is not a
charitable contribution under
our tax laws. Only when the
gift goes to a qualified chari
table or other tax exempt
group is the contribution a tax
deduction.
Q) Can a child born before
the end of the year be claim
ed as a dependent for the
whole year?
A i Yes, us long as the de
pendency tests are met for
the balance of the tax year
in which the child was born.
({) I didn't have a job when
1 moved here. Does that
mean I won't he able to de
duct my moving costs?
A i You may be able to
deduct your mov ing: expenses
if you meet certain require
ments. In fact, anyone mov
ing to accept a new job as
well as someone transferred
to a new location by his pres
ent employer may qualify.
The first requirement is
that your new place of em
ployment be at least 50 miles
farth-r from your old home
than your previous job was.
The second requirement is
that you he a full-time em
ployee on your new job for
at least .29 weeks during the
12 months following the
move.
For details, send a post
card to your IRS district of
fice and ask for a copy of
Publication 521, Tax Infor
mation on Moving Expenses
Q) I didn't pay any esti
mated tax this year and now
I find I'm way underwithheld.
What should I do?
A) File an estimated tax
declaration, Form 1040ES.
as soon as possible and pay
whatever should have been
paid by this date. This will
reduce the penalty for un
deipayment of estimated tax
Form 1U40ES and instruc
tions may be obtained from
any IRS office.
Q) What's the deadline for
reporting the social security
tax I withhold for my clean
ing woman?
At February 1 is the due
date for the Employer's
Quarterly Tax Return for
Household Employees for
October, November and De
cember.
Q) If someone die* during
the year, does an income ta>
return have to be filed if
there was any income or
earnings?
A) Yes. the same general
tax filing requirements ap
ply to taxpayers who are
deceased. There are special
provisions, however. For de
tails. send a post card to
your local IRS office anl ask
for a copy of Publication
559, Federal Tax Gui.le for
Survivors, Executors and
Administrators. It's frie.
Q) What's the filing date
for farmers next yearf
A? April 15. However,
farmers who do not file es
timated tax declarations by
January 15 should file their
1970 returns and pay the tax
due by March 1, to avoid
possible penalties for under
payment of estimated income
tax.
