QUESTIONS
ANSWERED
Question; Is it safe to feed sil
age to young calves?
Answer; Good, well-cured sil
age may be fed the calf at from
three to four months of age. Only
about two pounds should be fed
at first and this may be gradual
ly increased as the calf grows old
er. A six months old calf may
be fed from five to fifteen pounds
daily during the winter months.
Care should be taken not to give
the animal too much silage as
this feed is laxative and too much
will cause scours. At the first
sign of indigestion, the silage and
legume hay should be replaced
with grass hay and the animal
given a dose of from one to three
tablespoons of castor oil mixed
with a pint of fresh milk.
How long does it
take to properly cure meat?
Answer: Three days for each
pound in the individual piece of
meat is usually allowed for cru
ing. This applies whether the
brine cure or dry cure method is
used. However, with the brine
cure the meat should be repacked
on the seventh and twenty-first
days whereas with the dry cure
the meat is repacked only on the
seventh day, but must have ad
ditional curing ingredients rub
bed in thoroughly at that time.

Question: When should land
be prepared'fir planting the
early garden?
Answer: All land with a clay
subsoil should be plowed in the
fall or early winter to a depth
of from ten to twelve inches
provided too much of the sub
soil is not turned up to the sur
face. The plowed land should be
left in the rough as turned up
by the plow. The freezing and
thawing will pulverize and mel
low the soil. It will also aid in
the destruction of insect pests

GO SOUTHWARD
Motor Club Reports Closing
Os European Travel Ser
vice Will Increase Home
Tours.
*
The biggest winter tide of va
cation travel in history will turn
southward this year, according to
Miss Nina Abbitt, Roxboro man
ager of the Carolina Motor club,
who bases her opinion on a sur
vey of travel trends recently com
pleted by the American Automo
bile association.
“Reports from AAA headquar
ters indicate increasng momen
tum of the travel movement
whch during the sumer broke all
previous records,” Miss Abbitt
said.
“The rising business curve, the
50 percent gain in car sales, in
creases in gasoline consumption
and advance routings at travel
desks all points to the greatest
volume of southern travel ever
seen. Already, vacation areas in
this section are making ready for
a record-breaking influx of visi
tors.”
Pointing out that foreign tour
ist travel had been ended by the
outbreak of hostilities, the motor
c]ub official declared that the
United States could , expect the
greatest portion of $250,000,000
which Americans have been ac
customed to spending each year
on foreign vacations.
“Even without this added im
petus, vacation travel this win
ter would have been of unusually
large proportions. Winter vaca
tion trips have been growing in
popularity for a number of years
and cars are being used more and
more for long-distance jaunts to
the warmer climate?,” she con
cluded.

Neighborhood
An Influence
In Ownership
Neighborhoods in many cases
fall to prices long before the
houses. Because of this the Feder
al Housing Administration believ
es that neighborhood factors have
an important influence in satis
factory home-ownership experi
ence.
Lonas which the FHA insures
must be for houses built with a
sensible regard for the relation
ship of the home and its neigh
borhood. Good mortgage loans
can be made almost anywhere if
the homes fit their surroundings,
excluding slum areas where the
housing is so bad it should be
demolished.
A home being built in any
neighborhood should conform in
design and type with other
homes. By observing general
neighborhood standards, tte FHA
eften prevents people from build
ing hemes in the wrong locations
and saves them from loss and re
gret.
