GREAT NEED FOR MORE AND
BETTER FARM ANIMALS

Horses and mules are not listed
among North Carolinn's surplus COM
modities, says c. D. GrinnelIs, assoc
ciate professor Of animal husbandry
at North Carolina State College.
In fact, he says, the shortge in
work stock, felt for years, reached
significant proportions during the de-.
preston and is still one of the states
agricultural problems.
Grinnells says it would take at
least four years to appreciably rene
dy the shortage, but program start
ed now would, in few years, place
North Carolina in a good position in
sofar as work stock is concerned.
Prices of good, sound animals will
continue high, he says, and owners of
good stock will find it well worth
while to breed and raise high grade
animals. s1>
Meanwhile, he urges farmers to
take care Of the stock they have. Too
many farmers have drifted into the
custom of letting their horses and
mules shift for themselves. The ra-
lions are limited and the quality of
the feed, especially during the off
season, is usually bad, indigestible,
damaged, or mouldy.
This condition is aggravated by adj
vanced age, poor teeth, and less eff
Gent digestive tracts, found in many
animals. Improper feed is a serious
matter for old horses and mules,
Abrupt changes of feed, overeatins.
and careless treatment often prove
fatal. Horses are less able than cattle
to withstand the effects of bad feed.
The horse or mule fills an import
ant place on the farm, especially in
these days of crop adjustments, and
it will pay farmers to take better
care Of their work stock.

IL Is HOrGman'S lnCenC1On TO
carry on with Buddy and he is
looking for a boxing tutor to go
to his ranch at Fair Oakes. Hoff-
man late last night signed an
agreement to join Mike Jacobs in
the Joe Louis tour, with Buddy
Baer as one of the attractions.
The tour will include China,
Japan, South America and Eu-
rope.
Jacobs, with q grin mile wide,
today told of how Hoffman short
changed himself in making his
bargain for the big match. At the
time it was made few dreamed
that the gate receipts would go
over 100000. At least Hoffman
didn't. When Jacobs offered Hoff.
man 80 per cent for Baer the
little manager refused it.
He asked for and got a flat
guarantee Of $3.50, 900, the amount
which the Twentieth Century Club
was willing to post for Max Schme-
ling as guarantee his percentage
for a bout with Baer would reach
that figure. Hoffman thought he
was making q fine deal because
he was sure that the Baer and
Louis gate would not go over
$500. 900 at the most.
His decision to take the guar.
antee instead Of the percentage
cost him Just $67, 900. It brought
back memories of the Carpenter
and Dempsey bout. Jack KearnS
wouldn't take a percentage, in
sisting that Dempsey be paid
