f s . - - 5. , ft- - r v ; f.1- American Farm Bureau's more than l&5,0QQl membership is "the most powerful weapon ; the organization possesses and it must be steadily in creased if 'the farmeri of this nation are to keep - in step with the long , strides being made by other groups," R. Flake Shaw; Greensboro,' N. ,C, executive vice president of the North Carolina ' Farm Bureau, declared this week.' Shaw was the principal speaker on the closing program of the recent Virginia Farm Bureau ' Federation's annual convention. " ' "In recent months there "have been in evidence clear-cut attempts to lay the blame for, inflation on the na tion's farm' price support program," Shaw said. "We all know this charge is unfounded, and it has, been proved so to those making the claim. How ever, the efforts made to blame farm ers for run-away prices should serve a very useful purpose. . These attempts to accuse us wrongly should .make every farmer in the nation realize that sound farm organization is the only means we have to let dus voice be heard.' Farm Bureau's large membership is its most powerful weapon, .but ,, it must be strengthened through expansion if the farmers of America are to rnaintain their rightful place in our economy." :Shaw pointed ;'. out that without a strong Farm Bureau in Virginia the state's total , cash farm income of $416,089,000 f produced , by 173,051 farms, would be seriously endangered. "Farm Bureau is an organization of farmers for farmers, an organization that gets things done because it is not afraid to face the issuesNShaw said. "You doA't have to sell Farm Bureau to farmers, you only need to explain its workings and nine times out of 10 the farmer your' are- talking to will join immediately."' Tyrrell Man Grows Pork 'By The Acre' How many pounds of pork can Be produced "per acre"?. A Tyrrell County farmer, R. L. Snruill of Columbia, Koute l, ran a test last summer to find out. And, according to a report by County Agent H. H. Harris of the State College Ex tension Service, the experiment was highly successful. Mr. Spruill had a three-acre field of. corn - which he estimated would yield 66 bushels to the acre. He de cided to run a hogging-off demonstra tion, ' ' On August 19, a total of 27 pigs weighing 2,862 pounds were turned on the field. For 67 days they went .

THAT GO WITH THE PRIVILEGE OF BEIN6 A UNITED STATES CITIZEN y ' about eating all the corn they wanted. By October 25, the pigs had added 2.688 pounds and weighed a total of 5,550 pounds. Thus Mr. Spruill fig ures he produced an average of 896 pounds of pork per acre. At $1.25 a bushel, the estimated corn yield from the three acres would have brought $247.50. , Mr. Spruill spent $64.80 for 1,200 pounds of sup plement and $3.00 for 30 pounds of mineral to feed the pigs. In other words, the corn, supplement and min eral cost $315.30. The hogs sold for 25.5 cents a pound. The 2,688 pounds added dur ing the demonstration thus Drougnt a return of $685.44, and the net pro fit from the hogging-off was $370.14. Mr. Sprufll's records show he made $5.52 a day just by watering and car ing for the pigs., And, considering the hogs as harvesters and marketers of corn, he was able to realize a re turn of $125.05 per acre above feed cost, in addition to saving the ex pense of harvesting the corn.
