HOGS ON CORN FATTEN
CHEAPER WITH TANKAGE

Too many Minnesota farmers still
make the mistake of trying to fatten
their hogs on corn alone, says H. G..
Zavoral, swine specialist of the Min
nesota agricultural extension divi-
sion, University Farm, St. Paul.
Hogs that are fed an all-corn ration
do not get sufficient protein either
to keep them gaining at the maxi
mum rate, or to make the most econ
omical gains from the standpoint of
feed cost.
The economy of supplying suffc-
lent protein in the fattening ration
for hogs has been proven repeatedly,
not only in the experience of farmers,
but also in trials conducted at vari-
Gus experiment stations. At the
Minnesota agricultural experiment
station, trials carried on in three sue
cessive years showed that hogs fed
corn alone made average daily gains
of only so pounds, and consumed
$500 worth of feed for each 10C
pounds of grain, while hogs fed corn
and buttermilk gained two pounds a
day at a cost of $4.12 per hundred
pounds. A third group for hogs fed
corn and tankage made slightly low
er daily gains than those fed corn
buttermilk, but at lower cost. This
latter group gained II pounds per
day, and put on weight as cost of
$4.09 per hundred pounds.
Mr.. Zavoral recommends that for
hogs on corn with simmilk or butter
milk, or with insufficient quantities of
these, tankage or a mixture of tank
age and oil meal be self-fed. Hogs
do better when fed both plant and
animal protein, the ratio being about
two-thirds tankage and one-third oil
meal. This mixture is also some
what cheaper than tankage alone.

Days :,
Days are all like people. Or per-
haps it is the days which make the
people what they are. To me, at
least. they all see human.
Cold rainy days are pessimistic
days-full of pessimistic people.
Gloom prevades the atmosphere.
Humans are sullen. Dark clouds shut
out the sun until the day is without
inspiration-like narrowminded hum
ans. All is dullness and detection.
On the other hand, warm rain,
perhaps on a quiet summers after
noon, brings just the opposite effect
full, chattering person. 1t has little
to do, yet it is quite content doing it.
No one pays attention to its idle
chatter and everyone is blithe and
joyful.
Hot days! Ideal days for sleep
ing! | see the inactive man as typi-
cal of these. Laziness is prevalent.
Action ceases.
Days which come crowned with a
headdress of sparkling dew. cool,
spicy days, are the energetic people.
Every living thing. the plants, the
trees and the birds seem to swing
into a new gait. Action is the key
r word.
Warm days belong to the dreamer.
Every idea belongs to the future.
Such days are full of hope-beautiful
days. But do they accomplish tasks ?
Seldom but, nevertheless, one who ap-
preciates the true value of the dream
can't help liking a few of these days.
There is yet another kind of day
the cold snappy day. Exactness is
expected and required. There is NO
: laxity. Days like these are trying
on ones nerves, but they are days
which we must meet within the next
few months. So. as long as there are
davs they will be like humans, OF
make humans like them.

argument that some of the members

to ice would change its state but not
its temperature.

Chain Services
Drops Local Men

E. c. Conger. secretary manager
and w. r. Griffin auditor of the
Eastern Carolina Service Co., form
er!y the Crystal Ice & Coal Corp,
thought they were settled in their
icos. The business was going fine
and making money. But the new
owners walked in last week with a
new manager and new auditor and
out went the boys who had grown
with the business.
The Eastern Carolina Service
Corp. is a chain operating company
that recently acquired a score or
more of Eastern North Carolina ice
plants and coal yards. 1t was un-
derstocd at the time that there
would be no change in the manage
ment of the local plant.
w. C. Robinson of Greensboro IS
the new manager Of the local plant
and his assistant is Fred Sparger OF
the same place.
MIR. Conger expects to remain IN
Elizabeth City but is not prepared
TO state what business he will en-
gage in. at this time. Mr.. Griffin,

cessful painting business and a line
of trucks, will for the present de-

Will Seek New
Industries For
Elizabeth City

Will w. T. Culpcpper, newly
elected president of the Elizabeth
CITY Chamber of Commerce find
himself in conflict with many OF
the leading members of that organ
ization? The question is suggested
by a statement by Mr.. Culpepper
this week that the greatest activity
of the Chamber of Commerce
should be the acquisition of new in
dustries for Elizabeth City and the
Albemarle.
The Elizabeth City Chamber of
Commerce has been dismal failure
in the matter of getting new indus
tries. Employers of cheap labor in
Elizabeth City are not keen for the
acquisition of new industries that
might pay higher wages than they
are accustomed to paying. And SO
the Chamber of Commerce has de-
voted itself largely to agricultural
problems, freight rates and move
ments, river and harbor improve
ments and things that didn't dis
turb local manufacturers.
"I am going to see what can be
done to bring new industries to Eliz-
abeth City and I am going to give
this problem the best I've got" says
President Culpepper. And Mr.. Cul-
pepper is a shreyd go-getter and a
good salesman. His activities will
be watched with much interest.
A secretary to succeed r. c. Job
who resigned Mar. lSt, will be en-
ployed as early as practicable
There are numerous applicants fol-
the office and all applications are in

There was quite big time in

grabbed her gun and went post

but no woman.

oJhp BANK CLERK Aso TAG SODA ulRkGR
THE FLAPPER AND THE FARMER

II see by the papers that tlappcr
clothes worn by the school teachers
in the public schools of Norfolk are
responsible for the dull WittedneSs
of the pupils" said the Soda JerKer.
Il should think that if anything
would make the minds of the male
pupils in a school room alert ana
agile, it would be the lack of dress
worn by the teachers" said the
Bank Clerk.
Its this way" said the Soda
Jerker. These modern female
teachers wear about two ounces OF
clothes. A pair of hose, pair OF
silk boomers, az brassierre and a
thin one-piece silk dress is all they
wear. They are so thinly clad that
to protect themselves from the cold
when settled indoors they have 10
run the furnace heat up to 30 to 9O
degrees to keep from freezing. The
result is that school rooms are over
heated for all the little kids that
are senisbly dressed and the kids get
sleepy-headed, stupid, lifeless and
bored. You can't interest sleepy
headed child or teach it any
thing. And so the poor little kids
all overheated, sleepy-headed and
dull, lose interest in their books, get
low marks and fail to make the
grades"
Il can understand that very well,
said the Bank Clerk, "for I board IN
a house where there are a lot, ol
these skimpily clad females anc
there is no living in doors with
them; I am driven out into 5he
street every night to get fresh air.

And what's it got to do with the
farmer?" asked the Soda Jerker.
Everything" said the Bank Clerk
1T all means cheaper cotton, cheap
er wool, cheaper flax. Women haV-
ing adopted featherweight clothes
are forcing men to do likewise. To
adjust themselves to the Super-heat-
ed homes and public buildings made
necessary to protect the underclad
female of the species, men are being
forced to discard heavy clothes
themselves and in a few years men
will be wearing featherweight rayon
trunks instead of wool and cotton
union suits, and lighter weight
clothes all around. 1t will mean a
further depression of the cotton
wool and flax markets and the
farmer will be the sufferer"
"These modern women are playing
hell with the farmer gneerally, alnt

have quit eating bread, peas, beans
and potatoes to keep down their
weight and they refuse to wear
