Uashnell g inpHE expression 'nobody home" Is undoubtedly niang warn usea w denote stupidity. It is, however, slang with the backing of Alexander Pope, one of the most eminent of the' Eighteenth; Century poets. One, of, Pope's famous couplets reads: " "Ton beat your pate, and I ". fancy .wit adll comer' ' f Knock as you please, there's I nobody at home." An eminent man may be a prom inent man, but a prominent man is not necessarily eminent "Eminent" Is properly used in speaking of a man who ranks high in his profes sion or the office which he holds. A prominent man k merely oat who stands out from his fellow. Says Meadow Is His Most Fertile Field One of the most productive fields on the farm of Joe Brown in Madi son County has not been plowed in 63 years. It has been reseeded only once, and that was just after a flood some yean ago had covered the field with several inches of silt This two-acre meadow along a creek running through his farm pro duces four to five tons of high quali ty hay every year, and occasionally it is used to pasture cattle over the winter. Brown told George W. Miller, farm agent of the State College extension service in Madison County that the sod of perennial grasses and legumes is so thick that none of the soil has been lost in the past 63 yean. But from time to time when the creek rises, deposits of silt are left on the meadow, and today it has a fertile topsou several feet deep. The spongy, porous topsoil will soak up large quantities of rain water and hold it long after the rain has stopped falling, Brown said. Thus the meadow is little ef fected by long, dry spells. Miller commented that this one field is a good demonstration of the value of good land in making pro Tl ,r si 20th Latest News Events ' ' PRIZE NIGHT A'- . A T tl E I in J :: y i a-t-t i.

Taylor, extension swine specialist at State College. , H The bumper crop of potatoes pro duced in Eastern North Carolina this spring have driven "prices "to a low point and made second grade and cull potatoes available at an unus ually low cost ne addeo. ..: Inferior grade spuds can be fed to hogs profitably, he continued; and this will help r reduce the;-surplus that demoralised the market But be careful not to feed raw Irish potatoes, he continued, as they may injure the porkers. . Cooked spuds an nutritious and harmless if fed with corn, fish meal or tankage, and pasturage, Taylor explained. Three to four pounds of potatoes have about the same feed value as a pound of corn. With each three to four pounds of spuds M said, feed at least a pound of corn. Too many spuds will throw the ration out of balance. If the potatoes an boiled in salt water they will be more palatable, and will furnish part of the salt the animals need. The salt water, how ever, should e thrown away, as it is harmful to hogs. When thoroughly cooked, the spuds are easily digested and an a good source of minerals, carbohydrates, and vitamins. The skins also pro Aide roughage. su I A.
