C., has con tributed an idea to the "I'd-Like to-See-Them-Make" column of Popular Science Monthly for June. Mr. Bridges would like the job of gr?.ss-cutting made easier by having fences that could be raised. Sections of the fence, rid ing on tracks in the supporting posts, could be raised and lower ed, thus eliminating the tedious Job of edge trimming, Mr. Brid ges says.

Twister Disrupts AF Headquarters Major Charles C. Oates, com manding officer* of Flight "C" 9$42nd VART squadron has an nounced thai air force reservists throughout the South have been asked to delay correspondence with Headquarters, Fourteenth Air Force, until June 20. The delay Is requested because of temporary dislocation of Air Force Reserve personnel records caused by the tornado that swept through Robbins Air Force base earlier this month. The administrative mora<orium was asked by Major General C. E. Thomas; Jr., commanding Gen eral of the Fourteenth Air Force in a personal arr^al' to some 65, 000 reserve officers and airmen whose records are housed at Rob bins Air Force base. General Tho mas said "The twister ripped two Fourteenth Air Foi-ce buildings which contained reservists per sonal files, demolishing one build ing and severely damaging the other. Many records were dam aged, particularly those of air men and it will take some time for regrouping of the records." He asked that reservists delay their correspondence In order to speed reorganization of the Re serve personnel offices. During the moratorium period General Thomas assured reservists that emergency personnel actions would be expedited and cautioned that completion of administrative actions begun prior to the storm would be delayed. County Agent Gives Hog Feeding Hints "Is it gold or pork?" John Morley of the Unaka community of Cherokee County wasn't sure after he figured up the cost of dry feeding his family pork sup ply. He has just finished invest ing $87 in wheat shorts in grow ing out a single 275-pound hog. G. H. Farley, county agent for the N. C. Slate College Agricul tural Extension Service, says Morley tells this story: He was sure tnere must be a less expensive way to feed out a hog. Morley's next porker was put on a diet of prepared hog fattening ration. The result was a total investment of $64. This Was better, but still not too good. Morley knew he could fatten a pig cheaper. He planted an acre of U. S. 282 corn, fertilized it with 500 pounds of 5-10-10 at planting. Whert it w^s 24 inches tall he side-dressed it with 200 pounds of ammonium nitrate. He had to hire a neighbor to do the plowing and cultivating, but this cost him only $8. Then he planted two bushels of soybeans and fertilized these with 10 bags of 0-14-14. His total cost amounted to only $5-1! 'Water was available in the field, so when the beans began to mature he put five pigs on the one acre with specific instruc tions "to gather their own or starve." The pigs went to work on the beans. By the time the soy beans were about gone the pigs had grown large enough to ef ficiently use a maximum amount of corn. Farley says Morley "harvest ed" 1,250 pounds of pork Iron) his acre of corn and 'soybeans with practically no labor at all? and with expenses kept to a bare minimum. "Needless to say," the county agent chuckles, "Morley is now a 'hogging down' enthu siast." Negro Supplements Income On Turkeys Junious Fennell of Kerr, Route 1, a Negro farmer with a flare for raising turkeys, earned about $1,200 net last year by raising turkeys on shares. By using good management practices the morta lity (ate was kept very low. Fen-, netl started with 937 birds and raised more than 900. The tur keys sold for $2,400. He plans to do the same thing again this year. "The extra Income really comes in handy," he says, "but we got a little tired of eating tur key."
