known men in Indiana who have
worked for years to breed and re-
lease pheasants who never shot a
gun; others who worked slavishly IN
their local fish rearing ponds who
did not like to fish. They get some
thing out of life that is not given to
the rest Of US.
Several weeks ago, I met Frank
Wallace. the Indiana state ento-
mologist, who told me what he had
been doing this summer to pass his
vacation. His tale illustrates the
point I am making Frank is. with
out doubt, the most charming indi-
vidual 1 have had the privilege to
meet in many, many moons OF &C
quaintanCe among conservation
minded persons; a man of rare abil-
ity in his profession, quiet, unob-
trusive and observing.
He had been hunting the great,
blue heron with a camera in COM
pany with his friend, Samuel E.
Perkins III. A hunt to the layman
means going out this morning and
finding his subject before dark but
to Mr.. Wallace and Mr.. Perkins this
summers activity on the heronry
was the elimination of a f1ye-year
hunt for this one particular bird.
I'VE finally found them, Collins,
in an ideal location near Lake Max
inkuckee, a large number of them
nesting in the heart of an old tam
arack swamp" Mr. Wallace said.
Last winter Perkins went up there
and built a seat so feet off the
ground on the top of a tamarark
which he had sawed off where the
diameter was only four inches.
He hung an old canvas over the
seat and left it Tapping in the wind
so the early arrivals in the heronry
could get accustomed to the move
ment in this particular tree top and
not take alarm when later on we
would be ready to photograph them.
ITO get to this tree after the
birds started nesting was something
of a task. We found we had to
enter the blind in the dusk of the
morning and wait daylight sufficient
to expose film. The water was deep
in the swamp this spring on account
of rains and the mosquitoes were
fierce.
Endure Discomfort
I'VE had TO take in some very
heavy camera equipment with tele-
photo lenses and all Of the equip
ment we thought would be needed
for the day as there was no back
tracking once We were seated on
that tree top.
The climb into that timber tam
arack waS something to tax the
ability Of the man on the flying
trapeZe and when once seated on
that little board and hooded over
by the Tapping canvas through
which not the slightest breath of
air filtered, Jobs trials were by
comparison mild with those we en-
dured until we had finished the
days hunt and climbed down.
I had heard the story of the
man who developed into a nervous
wreck after two hours duty N the
crows next of a naval vessel in a
heavy sea because he devoted his
entire time to trying to balance the
ship by swaying his body against

Scrub Dairy Bulls Always
Expensive

A hard-headed business dairy
man once said, ''You pay for a good
bull whether you have one or not"
IF you have a good one, the
profits from the herd enable you
to pay for him.
IF you keep a scrub, the lowered
efficiency of the herd will cost you
more than a good bull"
So if dairymen are going to pay,
one way or another, for a good
bull, there is no reason why they
should not have one, said John
Arey, extension dairy specialist at
State College.
The. herd sire represents so per
cent of the future of the herd,
Arey pointed out. A few por cows
may do some damage to the herd,
but a scrub sire will ruin the best
of herds in a few years.
The term "good bulr' is used to
mean purebred bull of good type
with a continuous production rec
ord through his ancestry, Arey ex-
planned. Such a bull will transmit
both his type and his high produc-
ton strain to his offsprings.
The transmitting capacity of a
good bull has been proven beyond
doubt, Arey stated. Even when
bred to poor cows, the offsprings
will have comparatively high milk
production ability.
A dairyman with herd of COM
paratively poor cows can, in two
generations, breed up fairly high
producing herd by always breed
ing to good bulls, Arey said.
If the herd is small and the
dairyman feels he cannot afford a

FARM AND GARDEN
Feed Corn to Hogs for
Bigger Profit

At current prices, corn fed to
hogs will return a bigger income
to the farmer through the sale of
meat than if the corn were sold
directly.
Farmers with a good supply of
corn can hardly afford not to raise
pigs this year, says w. w. Shay,
swine specialist at State College.
Corn fed to hogs will yield, on an
average, about $1,3O a bushel, as
compared with IS cents a bushel
when sold on the market as corn.
Shay also states that 30-pound
pigs sold for 81 each, as is often
the case, do not return the farmer
any profit, since it costs that much
to produce pig of that weight.
But as the pig gains in weight,
the cost of production for each
pound steadily diminishes until the
hog reaches a weight of around 200
pounds.
Not counting the corn, the cost
of producing 100 pounds of meat
on hog is about $500. When hogs
are valued at Sill per 100 pounds of
live meat, there remains $3.50 to
cover the cost of the corn. .~.
Six bushels of corn will usually
produce 100 pounds of meat, Shay
pointed out. Hence the corn may
be considered as bringing a return
of $1.3O a bushel when converted
into pork.
Or if the corn is figured at IS
cents a bushel, there is a net Profit
Of $685. on each 200-pound hog sold
for $22. A litter of six pigs from a
sow should yield gross return of
1854 or a net return of 1892.

good bull, Arey continued, the least
he can do is have his cows bred to
good bulls from nearby herds.
Increase Acreage of Food
and Feed Crops

Under the AAA programs, North
Carolina farmers are growing this
year over 100000 acres more food
and feed crops than they did five
years ago.
Much of the $4,000 acres taken
out of cotton and tobacco cultiva-
ton has been put into corn, wheat,
oats, hay, sorghums, pasture and
other crops for consumption on the
farm
According to the agricultural
census taken this year, reported
Dean I. o. Scaub of State College,
the total land under cultivation has
increased from 5,8O9,754 to $685.
SAT acres since 1880.
The number of farms in the State
increased by 1889, or 7.6 per cent,
and the number of acres included
on farms increased about 10 per
cent. However, the gross value of
farm land decreased rs per cent.
On the farms were found $4,000
fewer than 5000 tenants.

MILLION-DOLLAR
INCREASE OF N. C.
FARMS IN 5 YEARS
Statistics And Figures For 1895
For County And State
May Be Had Free

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26-The
Old North State wrote a history
during the last five years of a mil
lion-acre increase in feed crops, the
Bureau of the Census announced
this week in giving details of the
North Carolina Farm census.
This gain covered practically all
of the feed crops and most of the
crops planted for human consump-
ton, and was chiefly the result of a
reduction of ,hout $4,000 acres in
cotton and 100000 acres in tobacco.
Approximately 100000 acres of
this increase is represented by corn
and hay, and about equally divided
between the two. Nearly half a
million acres of wheat were har-
vested in 1884 compared with about
$4,000 acres reported for 1929.
Irish potatoes increased So per cent
or about $4,000 acres, and sweet
potatoes per cent or roughly
$4,000 acres in the five-year period.
Notwithstanding the great change
in cash crops, cotton and tobacco,
a normal expansion of acreage is
indicated by the increase of crop
land harvested from $5,809,741 five
years ago to 5,965, SAT.
North Carolina showed a de-
crease of about 5000 in the num-
Der of horses but little change in
the number for mules. To utilize
the increased supply of corn, hay,
and oats, there were 217,254, or
46.5 per cent, more cattle in 1885
than in 1880, of which 124,753 were
cows, and about 100000 more hogs.
Ii. other principal points, the re-
port indicates North Carolina fol-
lowed the trend of the rest of the
country with an increase of 7.6 per
cent, or FL ,259 farms, an increase in
the land in farms of about 10 per
cent, but a decrease in the gross
value of rs per cent. Of the in
creased number of farm operators,
about $4,000 are full owners, 1000
part owners, and less than 5000
tenants.

HOG-KILLING TIME NEAR

Cooler nights and early morning
frostS bring promise of 'hoging"
days in the near future and with
them come the problem of protect
ing cured meat from the skipper
fly.
To control this fly, c. H. Brannon,
extension entomologist at State col
lege, says it must be prevented
from entering the storage room. He
advocates screening carefully with
30-mesh wire cloth and seeing that
no flies enter the open doors. If the
f:es can enter the storage room,
each piece of meat should be wrap
ped in paper and the whole en-
closed in a tight cloth sack. If the
smoke house or storage room is
well screened, however, this wrap
ping is unnecessary.
Another help is to destroy
promptly all meat which cannot be
re-conditioned by trimming. No
bones should be allowed around
the smoked meat since the skipper
fiy breeds in bones.
Brannon says this skipper is a
small fly, resembling winged ant,
and is smaller than the ordinary
house fly. The maggots produced
from these fys attack mostly hams
and shoulders which have been
cured and smoked. The fresher
these are, the more rapid the in
jury. Old pieces of meat, which
have become hard and dry, some
times covered with layer of blue
mold and a salve-like layer of fat,
seem to be practically immune
from attacks by the skipper. Very
fat meat, such as bacon, is not ex-
tensively Injured.
The skipper fly prefers lean meat
and when this is stored for winter
use, 'tk.e storage place should be
well screened or the meat well
wrapped, warns Brannon.

MEAT SHORTAGE
Meat Industry Favors Reversal
OF Administrators Policy
OF Curtailment

Meat food stocks in the United
States were shown by the meat in
dustry to be at materially lower
level Saturday than at the World
War period of 1861.
Surveying the situation, Butch
er's Advocate, trade weekly for the
retail meat industry, found the
United States facing a possible
meat shortage and expressed the
conclusion there should be a "di-
rect reversal of the administration
policy of curtailment."
The drop in packing and storage
house stocks mounted to more than
72,!22,000 pounds in pork and 3d.
414,00Q pounds in beef. Between
1916 and 1885. In live animals, the
drop in cattle amounted to about
100000 head, and in hogs more
than 100000 head.
comparable world wide situa-
ton between 1916 and 1885," the
magazine stated, ''has given the
Advocate the reason for comparing
available meat supplies so as to
show the unpreparedness of the
United States from a meat food
standpoint with war clouds hover
ing as they did in 1916.
aside from the restless interna-
tional condition the Advocate sur
vey clearly shows that the govern
ment's policy of curtailing meat
food production has gone beyond
what it ever set out to do. The
situation is one of grave import
ance from a domestic standpoint
alone"
The figures, the magazine said
were from the department of agri-
culture, bureau of agricultural eco

DON'T TRY TO MARRY
BOSS, YOUNG BUSINESS
WOMEN ARE ADVISED

The "boss'' as a matrimonial
possibility was debunked to an
audience of New York business
girls in that city last week.
GAS marital CATCH the boss
has been vastly over-rated," said
Mrs. Elizabeth MacGibbon, adviser
on office etiquette.
''He usually isn't catch-he is
often bald"
She also said that "office wives"
the boss secretary, soulmate, and
nurse-are on the wane. "The mod
ern girl has too much sense to be
one"
In a list of dos and don'ts for
office conduct, Mrs. MacGibbon
warned against male chin-chuckers
and back-slappers.
Simply ignore them," she advis-
ed. IF the man at the next desk
gets sentimental, laugh him off and
go on working. Don't take him seri-
ously."
Asked what men resent most in
girl employees, she replied:
"Office scenes; tears and tan
trums. And they hate dressing
room primping."
A clean neck, said Mrs. MacGib-
bon, is often more important than
a college education. Every week I
hear of girls who lose jobs because
of dirty necks."
She ruled out perfume for office
wear. ''You don't go to business to
be alluring."

KANSAS YOUTH
is STAR FARMER
Young Man Wins Honors For
Making Sixteen Pigs Grow
Into 1916 Dollars

A Kansas younster who made 16
pigs grow into $1,916 is tops among
the nations farm boys.
He is 18-year-old Paul Leck of
Washington county, Kansas, who
was announced last week as the
1885 Star Farmer of America.
Judges picked him after studying
record of farm youths the nation
over.
The title, conferred annually in a
contest sponsored by the Weekly
Kansas City Star, carries a $500
cash prize.
Young Leck, now a partner with
his father, H. H. Leck, started vo-
cational agricultural work 5 years
ago with Is feeder pigs. At the
end of year his labor income was
$38.4O.
Labor income is the amount of
money left for the boys time and
effort after all expenses have been
met. It may be either cash or in
ventory.
The second year, Leck added
Turkeys and chickens. His labor
income was $163.54. In each of the
next two years his project was en-
larged. When graduated from high
school last spring, his total labor
income was $1,916.

More Profit Now in Poultry
Industry

With higher egg prices and more
efficient management of their
flocks, North Carolina poultrymen
have been making profits in 1885
than in the past several years.
This is giving healthy impetus
to the poultry industry, said c. J.
Maupin, extension poultry special
list at State College.
But he warned of the danger that
over-zealous poultrymen, in an eff
fort to produce the greatest posi-
bic number of eggs, may lower the
quality of their flocks by keeping
culls with the other birds.
Although fed prices have been
going up, he added, the better man.
aged flocks have attained a state
of efficiency great enough, in some
cases, to more than offset the
higher cost of feed.
In 100 demonstrations over the
State during the month of Septem-
Der, for example, according to rec
ords just completed at the college
poultry department, the average
return above feed costs were IA
cents for each bird.
September is an off month in egg
production, Maupin pointed out,
yet the flock averages were more
than 10 eggs per bird, or little
above standard reduction for the
month.
The averages include all birds in
the flocks, both those which are
laying well and those which have
either stopped laying or almost
stopped, Maupipn brought out.
The average sale price of eggs
during the month was 80 cents a
dozen, or "a cents higher than the
same month a year ago and cents
higher than in September, 1888.
