The Market -Hog Show , audi
. Sale is only about a month 1
away; being scheduled lor wed
nesday. February 12. Now is
the time to start looking around
- to see if you have hogs that you
could enter ,in this Market Hog
Show and Sale.
i These hogs should be either
barrows or gilts and weigh be
twecn 180-200 pounds and grade
either No. 1 or No. '2. Hogs
that' grade No. 2 cannot be
shown but will be sold. ;The
- purpose of this type show and
sale is to encourage farmers to
produce good grade hogs as
they1 are usually the moat eco
nomical to grow, and also to
show people what quality is as
far as hogs are concerned and
to advertise to the packers and
other persons connected with
. processing the fact that we grow
hogs in the Albemarle area that
: are as good as can be grown in
. any other region. .
, "It is hoped that if you, have
"hogs that- Will .qualify as far
as weight ; and grade is con
cerned, that you' will be think
ing about entering them in this
show and sale. Each farmer is
entitled to enter 9 , hogs in
classes of 5-3 and 1 and if
there is a 4-H or FFA members
( in the family, and they have
hogs,1 they are also entitled to
; enter1 9. Be sure and keep this
date in mind, because if you do
have hogs to show it is very
jpossible that you would like to
, come out and see this show and
Sale," states R. M. Thompson,
County Extension chairman. ;i

The 'Little' Federal- arneridmeht

The amendment would have
given one Representative to
& each of th'e state's 100 coiuv
ties. .Now there is one for each
' county and 20 others based on
population. In the Senate the

North Carolina may be miss
ing an opportunity for economic
development by not hunting for
outside farmers as well as out
side industry.
At least this is the belief of
some horticulturists, at North
Carolina State.
Valuable farm land in much
of the metropolitan east is be
ing gobbled up by industrializa
tion and urbanization. Large,
highly skilled producers of orna
mental and! vegetable crops . are
falling victim to the concrete.
Why not encourage sorru of
these" farmers to relocate in
North Carolina? asked Dr. Frank
Should North Carolina Recruit
Farmers As Well As Industry?
The Hertford! Town Board
meeting here Monday night in
its regular January session, ap
proved a 10-ycar contract with
Virginia Electric & Power Com
pany. The rate under which
the town purchases electricity
for re-salc is not changed. The
old contract would have expired
in 1966, according to Town Clerk
Bobby Elliott.
The board voted to have the
N. C. League of Municipalities
bring its ordinance book up to
date. The revision will cost
$800, including printing and will
be the first complete stream
lining of the town law.
It was agreed that work will
begin on opening a driveway
into the land at the end of the
Perquimans River bridge which
will be used for a park area,
just as soon as the weather will
permit. Following the opening
of a driveway the filling in of
the land can be started.
Engineering tests were order
ed of a possible sewage dis
posal plant site in the vicinity
of Vinegar Valley to determine
how much piling will be needed
and cost estimates for a con
ventional type treatment plant.

"We have $300 per acre muck
land in Eastern North Carolina
that would be worth $2,000 an
acre in Orange County, N. Y.,"
Haynes explained. "Much of
this land," he added, "is going
into pine trees When it could be
made much more productive."
Haynes pointed out that many
of the displaced farmers have
extensive experience with "muck
farming." They - would know
ho wto handle similar soils in
Eastern North, Carolina, and
they would have1 the capital to
finance large scale enterprises.
