BIBLE THOUGHT FOR WEEK
MAN'S HUMBLE ORIGIN: And
the Lord God formed man of the dust
of the ground, and breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life, and the
man became a living soul. Gen. 2 :7

DORSE THIS?
This statement from The Progres
sive Farmer makes us wonder if the
club women of Perquimans County
have the same objective in view as
a part of their Better Homes pro
grams: "A declaration destined to bring
results in terms of farm home beau
tification is suggested in this signifi
cant message from Miss Lillian
Kaller, home improvement specialist
of the University of Tennessee Ex
tension Service:
'"During 1938 one of the major
objectives of the better homes move
ment is to carry on an intensive
campaign to remove signs from farm
fences and barns. No city home
owner thinks of allowing anyone to
tack an advertisement on his garage
or fence, yet farm people have their
premises covered with tin, paper and
cardboard signs. These do not add
to the attractiveness of either the
farm, home or the highway. Our
program calls for elimination, so far
as possible of this ever-increasing
flood of cheap, unpaid advertising
that lines our highways from town to
town, and to beautify the approaches
to the towns and cities with grass,
shrubs, and native trees."'
The above program is one that,
might well be carried on in every
state. Such signs are not only de
structive of beauty but may be actual
traffic hazards, often obstructing the
view of a driver and leading to acci
dents. While we might add that signs are
not allowed to clutter this county as
thoroughly as they mar the beauty
of other communities, the ones that
are here could be removed to great
advantage; constituting a needed im
provement. And if it is the intention
of the local better homes clubs to
bring abbut a ban on this unsightly
practice, then most people are for
them all the way.

GET ACQUAINTED!
The Woman's Clift is an institution
in which Hertford may well take
pride yet several members of the
county's accepted reading public have
been heard to say that they didn't
even krow where the library is lo-
cateu.
That must make the women who
are responsible for gathering togeth
er this collection of good books feel
that their work has in some manner
not been fully appreciated,

Huge Losses Are Due
To Disease In Swine
Keeping swine free 'from diseases
and -parasites is one of the biggest
problems in hog production.
Heavy losses are suffered by &orth
Carolina farmers whose , pigs & are
stunted by diseases and parasites,
said Dr. C. D. Grinnells, veterinarian
at the N. C. Agricultural Experiment
Station. , - "' :.i::;.r:'2y'
Since some of the diseases are
hard to cure, and may prove fatal in
a large number of cases, the best
method of disease control is to keep
the swine from getting infected,...
A clean pasture for the hogs to
range in is much better than an old
hog lot, and particularly a muddy
lot;
Outbreaks of infectious enteritis, or
"necro," becomes a serious threat in
warm, damp weather, Dr. Grinnells
warned. This .disease kills many
pigs, and stunts others so they can
not grow into profitable hogs.
The organisms which cause enteri
tis multiply rapidly in warm, damp
weather, and lurk in muddy lots
where they can attack whole herds
in a short time.
Sometimes hogs suffering with en
teritis have been vaccinated with
hog cholera serum and virus. Dr.
Grinnells urged farmers not to do
this, because the serum and vinur
are for treating cholera and no other
disease. ,
"If you are not sure what is the
matter with your pigs, consult a
county agent or a veterinarian," he
suggested.
Merchants Of State
Meet At Blowing- Rock
Blowing Rock, in the heart of the ,
Blue Ridge Mountains, will be the
meeting place - for the "'86th annual '
convention of the North - Carolina
Merchants Association on Jane 20-21. .. -
The program for . the ; convention "
will be one of. constructive "' worth,
excellence and timeliness, according;
to Willard L. Dowell, executive sec;.
retarv of the State Merchants Asso-v
ciation, who states that "the speak
ers for the occasion will be men of
state and national reputation who are
outstanding in their chosen vocations
and who speak, with authority on the :
problems confronting retailers." ' .
"The convention offers a combine r
tion of business, education and
pleasure" continued Mr. jjoweu, ior
in addition to an exceedingly benefic-
ial business program, there will be an "
abundance of splendid entertainment - J
provided for all those attending."
Bottle Trees as Homes
Nature has made some really
amazing structures, not the least
of which are the bottle trees used as
homes by the Toborochos, a tribe in
Brazil. A little hollowing by crude
tools and the trees make comfort
able homes, but are themselves unharmed.
Produces Underground Flowers
The fringed milkwort has a crop
of underground flowers capable of
producing seeds, even though its 1
purplish - rose blossoms, growing
above the soil, have- been picked.'
