FARM AND HOME WEEK
ATTRACTS THOUSANDS

After an absence of two years,
farmers and farm women focked to
the State College campus July 1871
to participate in another successful
Farm and Home Week.
Cancelled last year because of the
statewide outbreak of infantile pa
ralysis, the event this year attracted
thousands of both old and new at
tenders from all CARTS of the State.
The season was somewhat marred
by adverse weather conditions, first
by a heat wave and then by rain.
Had it not been for these inclement
conditions, the attendance probably
would have been boosted by several
hundred.
Those attending went through a
fve-day period of education and re-
creation. During that time they
heard many prominent agricultural
leaders speak on various phases of
farming. Among the speakers were:
J. B. Hutson, director of the Soil
Conservation program in the east
central states; Edwin A. O'Nei1,
president of the American Farm
Bureau Federation; DR.. Clarence
Poe editor of the Progressive Farm
er; and Harry A. Cation, secretary of
the National Grange.
Master Farmer awards went to: J.
M. German, Wilkes county; H. C.
Ashcraft, Mecklenburg; w. B. Craw-
ford, Iredell; Robert Flake Shaw,
Guilford; E. j. Harris, Cumberland;
J. P. and C. w. Ball, Carteret; J. B.
McDevitt, Madison; and Thomas D.
Temple, Halifax
The home-maker's certificate of
merit was awarded to Mrs. Hubert
Boney, of Duplin county, or out
standing work in the home.
Dean I. o. Schaub and other Off
Gals of the Extension service ex-
pressed themselves as being we'll
pleased with the way in which Farm
and Home Week was carried out.

FARMS AND GARDENS

that woods do furnish some cover
and food, but they must be supple
mented by other food and cover
more suitable to the needs of birds.
Broomsedge fields in general, he
explains, supply the birds with very
little food and cover. Since they har-
Dor such predators as rats and
snakes, they cannot be considered
the best sources of wildlife food.
Winter is difficult season for non
migratory birds. They are often left
in a weakened condition in the
spring to raise and protect their
young. This weakened condition,
continues Mr.. Becker, leaves the
birds more susceptible to diseases
and attacks from enemies.
AS a large part of our birds are
lost through agencies of storms, dis
ease, and enemies, he points out, we
can reduce this loss a great deal by
planting shrubs and sowing grains
for food and cover, while at the same
time helping to control soil erosion
and improve the farm from the
aesthetic and economic standpoints.

SWINE PRODUCTION
AGAIN ATTRACTIVE

The production of pigs has again
become attractive as compared with
the past three or four years, pri-
marty because of the increase in
price without a corresponding in
crease in the cost of feeds.
For example, say Earl H. Hostel
Ter, professor of animal husbandry at
tate College, in June, 1882 hogs were
worth only 1892 per hundred
pounds. In June of this year their
value was almost three times that
amount, yet the price of corn has
advanced to only about twice it's
value in 1882.
Because corn and hogs 60 hand in
hand in the corn belt section of the
United States, it is only natural that
corn and hog prices should follow
each other cosely, points out Hostel
Ter. So now is the time to raise more
pigs while corn prices are low.
North Carolina is better suited for
the raising of swine than the Mid
Western states, declares Hostetler.
Not only is there an abundance of
feed available for commercial hog
production but there is also milder
climate. This permits greater use
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1936-08-06

Of forage crops and requires less ex-
pensive housing.
Then, too, this State is within a
reasonable distance Of the highest
market in the United States, New
York and vicinity.
Another distinct advantage, points
out Hostetler, is that there is plenty
of protein supplements to corn such
as fish meal, cottonseed meal, soy
bean meal, and peanut meal. These
products are all high in nitrogen and
are relatively cheap because they
can be fed in the vicinity in which
they are produced and manufactured
without paying any considerable
amount for transportation.

Improved Business
Seen as New Deal
Trump Play Card

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Senator
Joseph f. Guffeyg of Pennsylvania,
as chairman of the Democratic sena-
torial campaign committee, said to-
night that prosperity regained is the
proof of performance the Democrats
will submit to the voters in their
appeal for continuance in office and
election of greater Democratic ma
jority in the Senate"
Predicting the election of Louise j.
Brann to the Senate from Maine in
September as forerunner of a ma
tional victory in November, his
statement said in part:
'"The walls of the reactionaries
and the prattle of the crack-pots and
parasites in the political press are
amusing to the great masses of free
thinking Americans who read daily
reports of better business conditions
under the Democratic administra-
ton.
Those who would mislead the
voters certainly must hold their
tongues in their cheeks when they
read their fabricated editorials and
news items in the same newspapers
that carry constant reports of in
creased industrial earnings"

TIMELY FARM
QUESTIONS ANSWERED AT
STATE COLLEGE

Question: My young pullets are
showing weakness of the legs. What
causes this and how may I control
it?
Answer: Usually one or two
things causes this trouble. The birds
may not be getting balanced diet
or they may be wormy. Check the
diet and see that the pullets have a
Well-baanced developing mash be-
fore them at all times. Open a few
OF the pullets and examine the in
teStineS for worms. If these condi-
tons are checked and no apparent
cause found, send some typical spe-
cimends to the poultry disease labor
atory at State College and have
them examined.
Question: When is the best time to
cut lespedeza for hay?
Answer: Lespedeza should be
ready for cutting in August. The
Korean variety will bloom about the
middle of the month and should be
cut at that time. The other varieties
will be blooming about the last of
August when they should be cut al
So. If the Common, Koke, and Ten
nessee rs are cut at an early stage
like this, they will make better hay.
The second crop then will re-seed
itself or make enough growth for
turning under to improve the soil.
When growing lespedeza for seed
purposes only, however, it will not
pay to cut off an August hay crop.
Question: Do you advise cutting
tobacco stalks after harvesting the
crop?
Answer: All agricultural students
agree that as soon as the tobacco
crop is harvested, the stalks should
be cut with stalk cutter and disk

ed into the ground. This will help to
destroy a number of insect and dis
ease pests which usually lie on the
suckers until frost. Disking under
the stalks also is good way to pre-
pare the soil for badly needed win
ter hay and cover crops and fall
grain.

Lindbergh Discusses
Future Wars on Tour
Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh Enjoy
Visit to Germany Where
He Is Feted

Colonel Charles A. Llndbergh ex-
ploded a verbal bomb in Berlin,
Germany, last week, before nazi avi
alton officials in speech decrying
Europe's growing threats of war
from the air.
1t is the aviator's responsibility to
make sure that we don't destroy
the very things we wish to protect"
said the colonel, for air progress "has
abolished defense" and made a new
conception of security necessary.
unlike the builders of the first
dugout canoe, aviators have lived to
see their harmless wings of fabric
turned into carriers of destruction
even more dangerous than the guns
of a battleship," he continued in the
speech before an air club
eWe have lived to carry on our
shoulders the responsibility for the
results of our experiments. which in
other fields have been passed to flu
ture generations.
Aviation he added, has created the
most fundamental change ever made
In war.

fensive warfare" he said. eve no

an army ..
Aviation has brought a revolu-
tionary change to world already
staggering from changes. 1t is our
responsibility to make sure that in
so doing we do not destroy the very
things we wish to protect"
A new type of security must be
found, he declared, a new security
which must be dynamic and not
static" type which 'rests in intelli-
gence and not force"
He continued: I'm the fact that in
telligence must be combined with
aviation I found some cause for
hope.
1T requires more intellect to oper-
ate an airplane than to dig trenches
and shoot a rifle.
''The education which is required
in aviation must also teach the value
of civilized institutions.
''Our responsibility in creating
great force for destruction may be
relieved somewhat by knowing we
have allied this thought with intel
ligence and education, that we have
moved this power farther away from
ignorance.
ct find some cause. for hope in the
belief that the power which must be
bound to knowledge is less danger
Gus to civilization than that which is
barbaric.
''It is the responsibility of aviation
to further the combination of
strength and intelligence"
Guests at Banquet
" After his speech the Colonel and
Mrs. Lindbergh were guests at tea
and reception at Templehof air field
arranged by the Lufthansa, the Ger
man airline company.
The Lindberghs and the party at
the tea were ushered into Germany's
largest commercial machine, the
Jonker 42-passenger ''Hindenburg."
Emerging from the ''Hindenburg,
he climbed into plane after plane
while Mrs. Lindbergh remained on
the field saying with a smile, "Now
he is in his element"

LONDON, December ls.-Separa-

state may have been brought nearer
by the Archbishop of Canterbury's
criticism of the friends of former King
Edward VIII, some observers said to-
day.
Should the controversy over the
speech spread, they said. the church
might be severed completely from the

The ties binding the English church
and state have loosened through the
centuries and some of the church S
ranking ministers are not averse TO
cutting them altogether.
Public protest against the Arch

the "alien" influence his friends ex-

SPANISH SHELLS
HIT NEARU.S SHIP
Gunboat Erie Not Believed
Object of Attack by Fas-
Cist Cruiser.
6y the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
The State Department announced
today that a shell fired yesterday by
a Spanish Fascist cruiser into the Port
Of MuSel, Spain, hit the water 500
yards from the American gunboat Erie,
which was anchored there at the
time.
The gunboat suffered no damage
and its commanding officer, reporting
the incident to Washington, said there
was nothing to indicate the Erie was
the object of the Spanish warship's
fire.
Musel is the port of Gijon, which
is held by government forces.
The Erie's commander advised the
State Department that the cruiser. the
Espana, fired two shells into the port,
from distance of about 10000 yards.
The first struck not far from the Erie
and the second whistled overhead into
the hills behind the harbor.
Immediately afterward, the Espania
steamed off to the westward.
The State Department said the
American Government contemplated
no action in the matter.
