THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N.&, ITKlUAi, JUNK Ti, l45 PAGE THREE Control Diseases To Produce More Pork Hog , cholera,.,, jwine, erysipelas, brucellosis and' parasites will take a Targe toll of .hogs this year, just at the tihie when, every pound of pork - should be saved, unless growers vac cinate their hogs; grow them out in dean surroundings, aid reduce diges tive troubles among young pigs, says Dr. C. D. Grinnells, Agricultural Ex- neriment Station veterinarian at State College. He points out that the hog chol era threat is especially serious this year and that spring pigs should be vaccinated against cholera around weaninB" time. Youne nigs' should also be vaccinated against erysipelas where this disease Jhas been a prob These two diseases are often con fuse by the farmer and the best thinsr to do is to call for a veterin' arian as soon as any sickness occurs among the herd, Dr. Grinnells sug gests. He points out 'that hogs with chol era will' not eat while hogs with ery sipelas will eat. Cholera-sick hogs are dull while those with erysipelas are alert and have bright eyes. ' If the sow has .been losing pigs or giving birth to poor litters, she should 'be tested and this also goes for the herd boar. Keep poultry , out of the hog lots and fight, infestations of lice are two ether stagnations made by Dr. Grin nells. "Dirty as a hog" is an old saying but progressive hog growers know that the hog lot should be put on clean ground and that the ' feeding troughs and waterers should be kept clean. "The pig crop is distressingly i short and we should make an honest effort to save an extra pig this year from every litter," Dr. Grinnells . says. veterinarian of the Agricultural Ex periment Station at State College. He gives the following suggestions for control of some of - the common causes of baby pig losses. Provide a balanced diet for the sow with need ed minerals and vitamin A to help prevent scours, whicnS' is caused by tHrtoTricouality of tfecr sows milk. Minerals anqTwt8min l neP to pre" ffer3MkaW Vbaby pig disease caused W a siigar deficiency. ' Feed ing if plenty of carbohydrates pre- vents 'Hfitf and Sometimes atr injection of glucose" Is needed Jtd -save the pigs. ' h ... The baby pig also' needs iron in his system and the placing of clean sod in the Disc creeps helps to take care of this condition. Iron salts solution is often sprinkled over the sod, Parasites are always a- problem in nisr srrowing and for this reason it is suggested that the sow and pigs be kept on the fresh land of tempor ary grazing crops or m clean pastures. Dr. Grinnells points out that many pig diseases trace back to the feed ine of the sow before and after far rowing. If she does not get the pro per feeds, she is unable to properly nourish her pigs. "Pigs saved by the above suggestions are one of the quickest ways of increasing the meat supply," he says. "free grazing.!' Here's what Proctor says, according to County Agent J. O. Anthony of the State College Ex tension Service: "Saves three fourths of the protein supplement for growing hogs and for brood sows it cuts the consumption of concen trates about half." He uses soy beans as a temporary grazing crop in summer. , The other report comes from Hay wood Edmundson of Wilson. On April 24 he was grazing 26 cows, 24 calves and 12 hogs on 55 acres plant ed at various periods U"t all with about 6 bushels of small grains' and some peas on each acre. Both men used 300 pounds of complete fertili zer per acre at planting. When Anthony asked Edmundson about his grazing crops and what he thought of them, the reply was: "I wouldn't have the cows, if I didn't have the grazing crops. To get good grazing, the crop should be planted early and topdressed." Widely distributed reports from Wilkes, Gaston, Alamance, Burke, Ashe, Wake, Sampson, Rockingham and Mecklenburg counties show that farmers are using all kinds of seed ing mixtures and that the amount of seed per acre is relatively heavy. "Many of the meats which yield the most fat are available less fre quently to city people. Consequent ly, a special appeal is being made to small town and rural homemakers to save and deliver larger amounts of fat which can be no longer used in cooking, or which may be in excess of the family's need. "In farm homes each piece of meat served does not represent ration stamps. Moreover, the rural home usually has supplies of home-pro duced beef, pork and fowl. Thus, rural housewives generally have used kitchen fats in excess of their needs, and can make a larger contribution Selective Service Calls For Woodsmen Save Those Pigs That Usually Die About one-fourth of the pigs die between farrowing and marketing and a large part of these losses can be prevented says Dr. C. D. Grinnells. Proper Storage Of Eggs Saves Money Dairymen, beef cattle men and hog growers report that temporary graz ing crops seeded in early fall, by September 1, with plenty of seed per acre and good applications of fertil izer furnish them with the cheapest feed they produce on the farm. From Wilson County, for example, come two reports that bring out these points. One is from Jesse D. Proctor of Waltonburg, who has been grazing 30 hogs, 3 head of workstock and one cow on 6 acres. He obtained 61 days of fall grazing or more than enough to pay all expenses of the grazing crop of 4 bushels of small grains and 20 pounds of rye grass per acre. His spring grazing is The Most Important Business Is . . . "YOU INCORPORATED" ARE YOU ADEQUATELY PROTECTED?

Date sale, Monday, July 9, 1945, at 12 o'clock noon, at the Court ouse door, Hertford; North Carolina. W.G. NEWBY CLERK AND TAX COLLECTOR, TOWN OF HERTFORD All men in North Carolina dis qualified for military service because of physical unfitness, and those over 30 years of age who are not already employed in essential civilian or war production work, are beinp; urged by Selective Service to assist in step ping up production of forest products and other vital war materials by tak ing jobs in these industries at once, I. O. Schaub, director of the State College Extension Service and chair man of Governor Gregg Cherry's emergency committee on Forest Pro duction has disclosed. This action, according to Chair man Schaub, is designed to help re lieve serious manpower shortages in "must" war production, including cutting of pulpwood,- saw logs and mill work by offering those who can not fight with guns another opportu nity to fight on the production fronts at home. All available men in the IV-F classification and those in the over 30 group who are able to, should be contributing their services to the war effort and they are to have this opportunity. "Governor Cherry's emergency committee on Forest Products Pro duction has been advised by General J. Van 15. Metts, State director of Selective Service, that local Selec tive Service Boards . throughout North Carolina are now reviewing IV-F cases to determine whether such classifications should be con tinued. All such men who are found to be working in non-essential jobs will be encouraged to enter one of the many highly essential industries where they will cdhWibtite directly to war production and victory," said Chairman Schaub. Chickens Now Going To War Thousands of pounds of North Car olina chickens which somehow were not reaching State processing plants three weeks ago are now moving through these plants en route to United States fighting forces thro ughout the world, according to a statement released by Marion Dilday, poultry marketing specialist with the N. C. Department of Agriculture. "The men who guard the ships, those who sail them, and the men who are transported in the ships all are now eating North Carolina poultry, and it is measuring up in grade and condition with that being shipped from any other section of the nation," said Dilday in complimenting farmers and processing plants par ticipating in the program. He said that since the Government freeze was clamped on poultry in a 10 county area on May 14, over oOO, 000 pounds of chickens have leen dressed in processing plants in Ra leigh, Durham, Creensboro, High Point, Siler City, Robbins, Sanford, and Pinehurst. Dilday said that whereas before the freeze order these plants were operating only about two days per week, they are now working fiill tirhe'ahd providing employment to scores of people. In answer to complaints regarding a market 'for chickens, Dilday de clared "there is a market for all chickens in the counties affected by the freeze even though the farmer may not be able to sell to the market of his choice." He said the poultry is dressed and ice-packed by the processing plants and is then sent directly to New York, where it is frozen by ship sup pliers and carried; throughout the world by the War Shipping Adminis tration.

R. Collins, in charge of Agro nomy Extension work at State Col lege. He advises applying 100 to 200 pounds per acre of some nitrogen side dressing material to a few rows when this condition is noted. Then when the leaves start turning yellow and brown along the tip and edges, with the midrib remaining green, apply 75 tt 100 pounds of muriate of potash per acre to a few rows. Do not, however, expect con ditions to change until a rain dissol ves the sidedressing material down into the root zone. If the corn stalk and leaves are purple, this indicates a phosphate de ficiency and more phosphate should be used in the fertilizer next year. Late sidedressings of phosphate have not been found as effective s applications- made in the fertilizer at planting time. By observing and correcting these hunger signs, com yields will be in creased, but adding the needed plant food can be made ineffective by cut ting off the roots with deep cultiva tion. This robs the plant of its only means of obtaining food and water. In cultivating corn, Dr. Collins rec ommends diirgirr: deep to find out where the roots are and then cultivat ing shallow enough to avoid injury to them. Greater Need For Saving Waste Fats "Millions of pounds of used kitchen fat, badly needed in the war effort, wetfe wasted last year," says Miss Rebecca Colwell, in charge of waste fat salvage in Chowan County. "In 1945, with lower supplies of domestic fats and oils and with ur principal sources of imports cut off, America must turn to the kitchen of every homemaker of the Nation to obtain used household fats for military, in dustrial and civilian uses. "The goal for used household fats 1945 is 260,000,000 pounds 80, 3T TAYLOR THEATRE EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA We Have the Shows Friday, June 22 Betty Grable and Dick Haymes in "DIAMOND HORSESHOE" In Technicolor Also Latest News and Cartoon A Large Supply of Good Looking 12 AND 24 PIECE SETS KNIVES -FORKS -SPOONS Come in and look at these tableware?.
