NORTH CAROLINA GOOD
PLACE TO RAISE HOGS

North Carolina is we'll adapted to
hog production, according to Earl H.
Hostetler, professor of animal hus-
bandry at State College.
The State has many advantages,
he said, and three are particularly
outstanding: temperate climate,
nearnesS to market, and a good sup
ply of protein supplements.
In the temperate climate, each
sow can farrow two filters of pigs
each year without her owner having
to provide expensive housing during
these critical periods.
However, some housing is neces-
sary, Hostetler said, to protect them
from the cold and rain in February
and March and from the heat in
August and September, the two best
narrowing periods.
From practically any place in
eastern North Carolian, he continu-
ed, hogs can be shipped to Rich
mon or Baltimore in So hours or
less, and this is a distinct advantage.
Producers living farther away
from the markets have to pay more
transportation charges, and the hogs
undergo heavier shrinkage in trans
it. Eastern markets also pay higher
prices than those in Chicago.
Corn is the cheapest and most sat-
isfactory carbonaceous feed for fat
tening hogs, and plenty of corn is
available in this State. Last year,
more that one-fourth of North Caro-
lina's crop land was in corn.
To get the best results in feeding,
some heterogeneous or high protein
feed must be fed with the corn. And
here again North Carolina has an
advantage in being able to secure
fish meal, cottonseed meal, peanut
meal, and soybeal oil meal produced
in the State.

year, but if none of the tinted she'll
ed eggs are used for Matching and
new males secured for breeding next
year from source that does not
show tinted shells, the trouble
should be eliminated. The yellow
tint in the shell is not related to the
number of eggs produced nor to the
food value, but it is well to breed it
out OF the flock as soon as possible.

MILLION WORKERS TO
HELP VOTERS ON NOV. 8

More than million officials and
party watchers probably will be re-
quired to man the election machin-
cry in about 122, 800 voting precincts
when the nation marches to the
polls November 3 to choose Presi-
dent.
With estimates of the vote run
ming from 100000 to 45,000,OOO,
there are about 1900 more voting
districts than two years ago.
No exact tabulation of the number
of officials needed to see that the
votes aer cast and counted legally
has been made. But experts said the
total probably would run well be-
yond million persons.
Many of the 122,39O voting dis
tricts include several polling places,
each of which requires full staff
of judges, clerks, and watchers.
Thousands of other party workers
will be busy rounding up the voters
and transporting them to the polls.
Local election officials are already
busting off and polishing up the old
ballot boxes and voting machines.
They also are busy checking and re-
checking the official voting lists and
setting up the complicated machin-
cry through which the nation will
choose its President, vice president,
members of Congress, governors and
other state officials.
Most states divide into precincts as
units for voting purposes, but others
designate their units as districts or
vote by counties, by cities, or by
towns.

TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS
ANSWERED AT COLLEGE

Question: Are minerals neceS-
sary in the ration of a dairy
cow?
Answer: Yes. The minerals that
are used most by the dairy COW and
therefore mostlikely to be lacking in
the ration are calcium, PHOSPHORUS,
and common salt. Legume hays,
when grown on soils not deficient in
lime will usually supply sufficient
calcium. An adequate supply of
PHOSPHORUS can be secured from
the grain ration if it contains as
much as thirty percent of feeds rich
in this material such as wheat bran
or cottonseed meal The salt should
be supplied by adding one pound to
each 100 pounds of the grain mix
ture and also allowing the animal
free access to it in the pasture or
exercise lot.
Question: Is it necessary to
treat the wounds made on apple
trees when they are pruned?
Answer: Where the wounds are
two inches or less it is not necessary
to use any protective material.
Pruning wounds heal more rapidly
when made close, but it is always
advisable to avoid leaving stubs that
will necessitate the new bark grow
ing up over the wound. When the
wounds are larger than two inches
it is advisable to cover them with a
preparation of pure white lead and
linseed oil. Grating wax, Tree
Tangle Foot, or Bordeaux Mixture
Linseed oil preparation may be used
with good results.
Question: How can / prevent
my flock of purebred White
LeghOrns from producing eggs
that have yellow tinted shells?
Answer: These tinted shelled eggs
are the result of breeding factor
either on the male or female side or,
in some cases, both sides. There is
