MUST RAISE MORE HOGS.
North Carolina Must Produce 12G, GOO
Extra Hogs During 191S-Nalue
OF Hogs on Farm.

Raleigh, March 16.-North Carolina
has been asked to make ten percent
increase in her pork production this
year. That means Iii rounI numbers
that she must produce 10000 extra
hogs during 1918. The agricultural
extension service of the State college
and department of Agriculture is en-
deavoring with every means in its con-
troll to obtain these figures, having
appropriated special funds for the EN-
ployment Of three successful, practical
hog growers to aid it's agents in the
work, and having devoted considerable
time, energy and study to the ques-
ton.
Director B. w. Kilgore states that
it is probable that the goal set by the
swine extension men will be reached,
and based his belief on letters and in
formation which has come to him from
the field, the following one from MIR.
john Bower being good sample:
The value of hogs on the farm, from
the fertility standpoint, must not be
lost sight Of If corn is hogged down,
the average increase in corn yields
the following year will be at least 10
bushels more per acre until maxi
mum is reached. l have lani which
produced only 25 bushels of cora per
acre when l started, that is now lro-
ducing 60 to 70 bushels, and | have
followed the hogging down method.
BY having hogs on the farm, the fer
tility will be maintained and the sows
/ will get sufficient exercise to make
them produce good litters.
"The farmer is assured of 13 times
/ the price of corn this year for his
spring crop of pigs and he need not
| feed them all corn because he can
grow them more cheaply by supple
menting the corn with forage crops
such as rape, clover, soybeans and
rye. Here again he will be improving
! the fertility of his soil and this is
worthy of consideration for the renter.
"No one should lose sight of the
fact that we are at war and it is the
duty of every farmer to do his best,
regardless of the profit. The boys
| in France are making no money out
of this war and are risking their lives
in order to preserve our safety. We
will have at least 100000 men in
France by the end of this year and
that many more in training. These
men will be drawn out of the produc-
ing class and we must feed them. Were
it not for the British fleet we would
be fighting on our own soil; then we
would have no time to give consider
alton to prices. Although l feel that
farmers are getting just prices for
their produce, l think it is their pa
triotic duty to see farther than their
own books and be ready to
sacrifice, if necessary, for the welfare
of their own country. If we do not
win this war all is lost.
"In view of these facts l think ev-
cry farmer should use his utmost eff
forts to save every spring pig anc
feed it out next summer"

mine for supper down on lower deck,
when we heard loud cannon-like
sound, the report of a torpedo from a
German submarine, which did the
work. Immediately after she was
hit the electric lights went out, and
left US in pitch darkness. Then there
was scrambling among $500 troops to
get up on decks, where the life boats
were. The fellows seemed to be very
cool, so there was no panic. Bu1 IN
the meantime the big boat was listing
to one side and sinking. The ropes
for lowering the boats were no good

him an oar and pulled him in. Then
we had to get away from the ship
very quick, leaving lots of boys beg

near down. We drifted around in the
rough waves until half past eleven
when we were picked up by a patrol
ship, which had received the wireless
