Urged To Grow
More Hogs
A steadily increasing demand
for pork has caused Ellis V. Ves.
tal, swine specialist of the N. C.
State College Extension Service,
to call on North Carolina farm,
ers for larger hog numbers.
More money in circulation as
a result of the Defense Program
has created a brighter situation
for swine raisers. Likewise, the
lease-lend act guarantees pork
supplis to Britain.
“These factors have brought
about a favorable ratio between
hog prices and feed prices,” Ves.
tal said. “With hogs selling at
10 cents a pound and better,
farmers and 4.H Club members
may well afford to feed any pigs
they have, even if they have to
buy some corn as well as protein
and mineral.”
An average of ten trials con
ducted by the North Carolina Ex
periment Station showed that 10-
cent hogs will return $1.57 a
bushel for corn consumed, basis
cottonseed meal at $1.75 per 100
pounds, and fish meal at $3.50 per
100 pounds.
Farmers and farm boys wish
ing to conduct feeding demon,
strations are advised by Vestal to
use the following procedure:
Weigh the pigs at the begin,
ning of the period.
Use \a fself-feeder. Blueprints
may be obtained from any coun
ty agent.
Use shelled corn or ground
barley in one compartment, and
cottonseed meal and fish meal
for tankage) in the other.
Use the recommended miner.
t:l mixture in a dry place. Green
fed is important, too.
Keep a record of the feed used.
Vestal said county agents will

FARM SAVINGS
Would Conserve Food And
Work Harder.
STATESVILLE, N. C„ July 19.
Farmers and farm women at.
tending the Piedmont farm field
dya were urged by former Gov.
ernor Clyde Hoey and Mrs. Hoey
to conserve food and work co
operatively in a general program
to bolster national defense.
Hoey said distribution and mar
keting were problems still to be
solved in North Carolina. He
asked the farmers and their
wives to support a program of
food conservation, canning, eco
nomical production and better
marketing.
Stressing the “live at home”
idea, he deplored the fact that
50 per cent of the eggs consum
ed in the State were imported
from other states. Mrs. Hoey rec
ommended that landlords estab
lish “cooperative gardens” in the
interest of sound economy and
health.

Answers Timely
Farm Questions
QUESTION: Can the condition'
cf gin equipment affect the qual.J
ity of cotton?
ANSWER: Yes. According to
J. A. Shanklin, Extension cotton
specialist at State College, good
ginning and pcor ginning show
up noticeably in the preparation
and grading of cotton. It is imper
ative therefore that ginners
“make ready” their gins during
the growing season so that they
will be in position to offer grow
ers a good job in the fall. July
is the usual “make ready” month
and during that period ginners
should be careful to put all ma
chinery and equipment in tip
top shape.
QUESTION: What opportuni
ty will farmers have to cooper,
ate in the national defense ef
fort aside from an adequate pro
duction of food-feed?
ANSWER: Since farmers of the
state this year expect to have
mere income than last, but may
not be able to buy some of the
things which they need or want
because of defense priorities, they
may well invest some of the in
ct eased income in defense bonds
or stamps. That is th advice of
Tcm Cornwell, Cleveland county
cotton farmer and number of t
hte state AAA committee, which
maintains offices at State Col
lege.
QUETION: How have state
farmers responded to the plea of
Governor J. M. Broughton for in-;
creased production of eggs in
North Carolina?
ANWER. The response has been
unusually good, reports S. F.
Farrish, Extension pcultryman at
State College,' but “too many ’,
producers are marketing their
pullets as broilers instead of hold
ing them as layers. At the pres
ent time there is no egg short
age, but this condition may be
changed in the near future un
less egg prdoucticn is stepped up
even higher. People are eating
more eggs at home, the Army
needs tremendous quantities and
still more are scheduled for snip
men t overseas.
