UTILIZING WASTE
PEANUTS FOR HOGS

West Raleigh, Aug. 31-The east
ern part Of North Carolina has come
to be a section noted for the produc-
ton Of peanuts. The majority of
farmers in this section grow these
a sa commercial crop. Those who
grew the large varieties Of peanuts
know that heavy percentage of the
crop is left in the ground. There is
only one possible way of making use
Of this waste and that is by employ
ing hogs. AS a matter of fact, the
hog business has followed the pea
nut business but this year there is
not a sufficient number of hogs to
eat all of the peanuts that will be
left in the ground and the other waste
products on the farm.
"Three years ago." states Mr.. Dan
T. Gray Of the animal industry di-
vision Of the N. C. Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, 1--WE conducted a
test with Mr.. Holderness of Tarboro,
to determine just how much pork
could be grown upon acre of leftover
peanuts. In this experiment. ap-
proximately 100 acres were employ
ed, a part Of the area being a volun-
teer crop Of peanuts and a part be-
ing nuts left after the commercial
crop was removed. Two hundred and
fifty hogs were turned into the 100
acre field. These hogs were in the
peanut field from October 7 to De-
cember 18 and during this time each
animal gained SO pounds in weight
Notwithstanding the fact that they
were not fed a grain of corn. The
whole bunch Of hogs gained 2O,75O
pounds, Or approximately 200 pounds
of pork were made upon each acre
of leftover peanuts. At present
prices something like $50 worth of
feed, therefore, was left in the
ground and would have gone to waste
altogether if the hogs had not been
| used.

TO TEACH NEGROES SANITATION
State Board of Health Plans New
Health Work - Would Organize
Health Leagues Among CoIored


State Board of Health Bulletin.
To teach North, Carolina negroes
how to live freer from disease and
more in accord with the science of
sanitatior in their communities is
the object Of a new piece of health
work which the State Board of Health
is now planning to start. The plans
in detail will soon be complete and
the work will start in one or more
counties, probably next month. While
the State Board of Health will have
full direction Of the work, intelligen
men and women of the colored race
who know their people and communi-
ties will be the agents. They will
organize community health leagues
and will instruct the members as to
the kind and manner of work the
league is expected to do.
The main plan of the work is to
organize the health league in con-
nectlon with some other live organ
ization in the community, perhaps
the church or the school, and to in
terest the whole community as far
as possible, particularly the lead
ing men and women, in the object
OF the league. The State Board of
Health will furnish various methods
of giving information and otherwise
Screating interest, including magic
lantern pictures, health exhibits, Ian
tern slides and lectures and free
heal tn literature. The agent or or
ganizer will furnish programs for
the regular meetings of the league
Reports of the work will be made to
the State Board of Health.
Rev. James E. Holder of Kinston
has been selected as one of the agents
for this new work. He has had two
or more years experience in health
and community uplife work among
his people, and his services have beer
appreciated bv both races in the com.
munities he has served.
Health work among the colorec
race is said to be good seed sown in
good ground. In the past few wears
much progress in health work by ne
groes has been noted in this State
particularly that Of a number of ne.
gro health clubs. The race is alive
! to the important task of reducing thei1
abnormal high death rate.

RAPE PASTURES
VALUABLE FOR HOGS

West Raleigh, Aug. 30-Just now
when corn and other grains are very
high in price the farmer should un-
derstand that there are other kinds
Of hog feeds which are cheap. One
of the cheapest available feeds IS
rape pasture. This pasture when
sowed in the latter part of the sum-
mer very often furnishes grazing
throu ghout the whole winter.
Upon one Of the Eastern test farms
Of North Carolina, Mr.. Dan T. Gray,
chief, division Of animal industry,
N. C. Experiment Station, states
that some rape was planted on Sep
tember 10. On November g., or 81
days later, the pasture was ready to
be grazed. At this time the plants
were from six to eight inches high.
There were five pigs, weighing ap-
proximately 45 pounds each at the
beginning of the test, placed upon
each acre Of pasture and half ra-
tion Of mixture Of corn and shorts
| fed as a supplement-. This small
area Of pasture afforded the other
half of the ration until May 1 when
the hogs were sold and the remain
ing crop manure turned under.
1t was found that the hogs during
this time made exceptionally cheap
gains. One lot of hogs fed in dry
lot and fed all the corn and shorts
they would eat. When corn is valu-
ed at So bushel and shorts at SAC
ton, it cost 1920 to make 1OC
pounds Of pork in the lot where moth
ing but corn and shorts were fed.
In the second lot, where half ra
tion of corn and shorts were fed II
conjunction with rape pasture, it cost
only 1922 to make an equal in.
crease in weight when corn anG
shorts were valued as above and rape
at $40 an acre. In third lot, where
a fourth ration Of corn and shorts
were fed with rape pacture, it cos
$3.50 to make each 100 pounds O.
pork.
When expressed another way, i
was found in the second lot that on
acre Of rape saved 18 bushels of corr
and 498 pounds of wheat shorts. Il
the third lot one acre Of rape save
18 bushels of corn and ATS pound
of wheat shorts.

MANY HAY FEVER VIC
TINS IN NORTH CAROLINA
Second Season Of Hay Fever Worse

Second Season Of Hay Fever Worse
Than First
State Board of Health Bulletin.
State board Of health calls atten-
tion to this being the second season
of hay fever, the first being from
May to July and the second from
August to September. According to
DR.: William scheppegrell Of New
Orleans, the country's greatest au-
thority on hay fever, the second sea-
son or autumnal hay fever is worse
than the first or spring and summer
hay fever. The reason is that it is
caused by the pollen of the common
rag weed, whose pollen is so light
and bouyant that it is carried sew
eral miles by winds of fifteen or
more miles an hour.
From survey made by the Unit
ed States Public Health Service, it
was found that about one per cent
Of the population of Eastern and
Southern States suffer from hay few
er. This means that out of an army
Of 100000 people, 5000 will be worth
little to themselves or their country
The number of hay fever sufferers
in North Carolina at this rate is
about 12,5OO people. This number
Of sufferers is sufficiently large
thinks the State Board of Health, to
justify some effort being made tc
prevent hay fever. The inefficency
and discomfort which the disease
produces make it an economic as
we'll as a health problem.

From "Just Odds and Endsn in VII


From "Just Odds and Ends" in Will
mington Star.
Among the weekly and semi-week-
ly papers that come to The Star Of
flee, not one is given more attention
than the Lumberton Robesonian. It
is one of the few that go the rounds
of the staff. Twice every week the
inquiry is heard, "Did The Robeson-
ian come today?" That's the way it
is IN Lumberton and throughout the
county Of Robson and that's the way
it has been up there for the last, oh.
nearly fifty years. There are prob
ably natives of Robson who learn
ed the alphabet in The Robesonian
now men active in the worlds af-
fairs. Plenty of US can remember
when it was four-page sheet at 50
a yearr,and published only once week.
Now it is an eight-pa semi-week1y
at the same price. The old county
paper has been often referred to as
The Bible of many Robesonians.
Away back in the old days when the
late McDiarmid was the publisher #
Was so and it is so today. It is now
one of the very best in the State in
the class Of weekly and semi-weeklv
publications. "Jack" Sharpe, as his
lntlmatee friends refer to the present
able and versatile editor, came to the
paper from Statesville years ago, fol-
lowing period Of frequent changes
IN ownership. He settled down to it
as If it were his life work and has
more than made good. He publishes
the. kind of paper Robesonians want
and they stand by it year in ard wear
out. Sharpe gives them their mon
ey's worth of what they want like
they want it.

When Editor Brown located in that

ing it daily paper The calamitous
fire which destroyed his printing
