THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY. HERTFORD, N. C, FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 28, 1941 FACiE SEVEN '4 THIS BUSINESS OF BY SUSAN THAYER "UNCLE SAM'S BIG HOUSEHOLD" Every spring for the past foui yean the Smiths had, talked about getting a new sofa for the living room. Now, at long last, the time aeemed to have come to make the purchase. Mother had found "just the thing" she wanted down at the ' furniture store. Father had said "go ahead, get it" and the children had 'said it was "certainly a honey." Bui there "was one more solemn confer- ence on the subject, f 'Hjjaybe we ought to save the monly for a trip this summer or put it away in the bank. No telling what's going to happen," Mother said magnanimously, seeing that beautiful new sofa in her mind's eye allhe time. While Bill piped up ''yttth the suggestion that he could Certainly use a new bicycle and Sis- . ter wondered when she'd ever have new rug for her bedroom. But 'jFather was adamant. "No, children," ' he told them. "We can't nave every thing and your Mother's got her heart set on that sofa. Maybe we can get that bicycle this fall and the rug another spring." i Little scenes like this are going on in holies all over the country this spring as they have been for gener ations. For there's an old savin? that "we cannot eat our cake and have it too" and in most households we can't buy everything at once. If we spend for a sofa we must gc without a rug for the time being . . . and if we buy a new car we musv go easy on other expenses. Of course, there are certain things that must be bought clay after day, year in and year out such as food, clothes and, shelter but we have to arrange every big expenditure. Our country as a whole, has its spending problems too. There's just so much in the national treasury, ' and even if we increase taxes, there's till a limit to what Uncle Sam hah to spend on his big household. Rjght now our country has to spefijVmore than we can imagine on guns and planes and ships and ' camps, and every one is agreed that these amounts must be poured out in order to make us so strong no cou'iltry will dare to attack us. But becmise we're spending ail of thi on Defense we must go eiiy other places or there will be trouble just as there would be in your family 1 1 -A :e : i l y uuuyet ii ,ou ms.sieu oil uuyin evervthinn at once. V And where can wp savp? Not nn needed relief . . . not on insurance .. . . . not on the regular functions of government but on the waste and ex travagance of local governments. Experts tell us that millions of dol lars could be saved for Uncle Sam if people would watch local expendi tures; if we would take the trouble to see that the money spent right at home, under our noses as it were, is spent wisely and without waste. It will take a little trouble ... it might take a little time . . . but it will be worth it if we all help keep our country to be as reasonable about spending as our family is. Beef Cattle Require Protein Supplement Sam L. Williams, assistant exten sion husbandman of N. C. State Col lege, has an answer to the question. "Can beef be produced without a protein supplement?" This is what he has been telling beef cattle breeders and feeders w'lio have asked the question in re cent weeks: "In my opinion it can be done, but it is neither practical nor profitable." Then he goes on to explain that the important thing to the cattle producer is how much weight ano finish he can put on his cattle and how long it will require. Efficient production is essential to greatest profit in any business, and this is especially true in the cattle business Some of the more common protein supplements are: cottonseed meal, soybean meal, linseed meal, and con. gluten meal. All of these are about equal in feeding value. i Williams explained that the econ omy of feeding a protein supplemen' lies in the fact that such feeds are I responsible for more efficient utili ! zation of feed, larger gains, higher 1 finish, and a greater selling price. Numerous experiment stations have s'jiown that a protein supplement in fattening and breeding cattle rations will save on both corn and silage. Thfn, too, it has the added advantage of producing a superior quality of beef. As to the amouiii, of this uiateiiai to feed, the State College .speciali.si ! said that ordinarily in winter ra- tions for beef cattle from one to two i pounds of a protein supplement is at'sfactory if a fair quality of louhage is fed.
