According to the wPA, the pre- ject is being closed for ''reorganiza- tion," but a good part of the em- ployes and many observers believe that the closing order was issued because complaints about conditions at the sewing room were made by the workers. WPA officials deny that this is the case, and say that the sewing room will reopen shcrt- ly, with a "curtailed" staff.
 The sewing room began as a Mutual Aid project several years ago, and was directed by William M. Harris, head of the Mutual Aid. It later became a federal work relief project.
 Miss Hughart said several days ago that she had decided to close the project after conference with MT. Harris. The step, she said, was approved by Matthew Daly, state WPA administrator, and Thomas Dodd, assistant administrator.
 After employees complaints had been related in The Democrat, Miss Hughart visited the plant, denied that 1t was a sweat shop, but said that some "adjuStments" might bet- ter be made.

SUGGESTIONS GIVEN
. ON HOG BUTCAER|NG
Weight of $50 to 800
Pounds Makes for Best
Quality of Pork

College Station, Raleigh, Nov. IL
Farmers who are getting ready 10
butcher hogs this fall and winter Will
do well to keep the following sugges-
tons in mind said H. w. Taylor, ex-
tension swine specialist at State Col
lege.
Butcher hogs should be well flnish-
ed and gaining in weight. However,
this does not mean that hogs winch
have been shipped should not be
slaughtered because they have lost a
few pounds in transit
Well finished hogs weighing from
200 to $50 pounds produce the most
satisfactory meat for curing on the
farm.
Smooth, evenly fleshed hogs Will
produce a finer quality meat and Will
cut up with less waste than rough,
coarse. wrinkled. and flabby indivld-
uals Quality hogs give a more ten
der, finer textured product with the
right proportion of fat and lean.
The muscles of a thin hog are often
tough and lacking in flavor and juic-
mess characteristics that are found
in a we'll marbled piece of meat.
Over-fat, heavy hogs will not pro-
duce high class cured pork.
Hogs may be slaughtered at any
age. but meat from young pigs Is
watery and soft and lacks the flavor
and keeping qualities found in hogs
with more age.
Meat from boars has a strong un-
pleasant odor and flavor, and such
animals need special attention al
least 80 days before they are butcher
ed.
For further information on butcher
ing hogs and curing pork, ask county
agents or write the agricultural editor
at State College for extension folder
No "a, killing and Curing Meat on

ARM SURPLUSCUT
BY RELIEF DEMAND
4,75O,00O Pounds of Farm
Products Distributed in
This State

College Station, Raleigh, Nov. 49,
Distributing agricultural commodities
to persons on relief has aided ma
terially in reducing the surplus OF
farm products. said Dean T. O. Schauh
of State College.
In this State alone. he said, more
than 4.750,0O0 pounds of farm prod
ucts were issued to those on relief
during the period from October
1885, to September 10, 1885.
The distribution was made through
the Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration under the supervision of the
Federal Surplus Commodities Cor
poration and in cooperation with the
North Carolina Relief Administration
This was made possible by the
agricultural surplus-removal prog
rams conducted over the Nation at
the request of the farmers, the dean
added.
The surplus thus distributed reliev-
ed markets of burdensome, price-de-
pressing oversuplies, and were issued
to people who could not buy them in
the regular channels of trade.
Among the things distributed in
North Carolina were: 1888, 344 pounds
of fresh apples, $4,000 pounds of
dried beans, 18O,075 pounds of dried
peas, $4,000 pounds of citrus fruit,
100000 pounds of prunes, 2SO,5OO
pounds of onions, 200,O5O pounds of
dry skim milk, 10000 pounds of en-
riched oat cereal. and $4,000 pounds
of rolled oats.
In addition, the State was allocat-
ed 41.523 bushels of wheat for con-
version into flour and feed.
To help strengthen the cotton mar
ket, the government allotted to North
Carolina 1850 bales Of raw cotton,

marketing season with a relatively
small carry-over.
"The volume of movement of can
ned vegetables from Gamers hands
during the 1855 season exceeded
that Of any season In Is years. Fac
tors contributing to this large move
ment were: Cd The prices Of canned
vegetables were relatively lower than
those of fresh vegetables. 90 Low
stocks in the hands of distributors at
the beginning of the season stimulat-
ed movement from Gamers ware
houses. 80 Consumer buying power
increased. az Fear of probable eff
fects of the drought in the spring and
early summer of 1886 was to some
extent an added stimulus to sales.
The greatly accelerated move
ment from Gamers hands undoubted-
~ had a significant bearing on the
optimism with which Gamers con
tracted relatively large acreages in
1886 at prices to growers equal to the
1885 level. The acreage of canning
vegetables tends to follow a 5-yeal
cycle: years of expansion in acre
age, during which supplies are built
up to the point where they exceed
market requirements, are succeeded
by 2 years Of rather pronounced de
creases in acreage. The cycle show!

etables for the 1885 season exceed
ed that Of any season since 1855
the acreage planted to these vege
tables in 1886 declined only S. 90,

acres. But owing to damage from

was considerably below average 81
that total production was about l:

1887 MEAT PRICES
TOBE MUCH HIGHER
All Supplies Will Be Small
er Because Of Drought
Cutting Feed

College Station, Raleigh. Nov. 12.-
Livestock and meat prices in 1887
will be higher than at any time during
the past several years, according to
the present outlook.
In an outlook report sent Earl H
Hostetler, in charge of animal hus-
bandry research at State College, by
the U. S. Department Of Agriculture,
it was stated that all meat supplies
will be smaller next year.
The reduction will be most pro-
nounced in pork and the better grades
of beef. the report said. This means
that farmers will get better prices for
their animals.
Even with favorable conditions for
feed production during the next sew
eral years, 1t was pointed out. it ap-
pears that the total supply of meat
animals for slaughter will not equal
the 1930-A average until 1910.
Total meat supplies in 1887 are ex-
pected to be smaller than in 1896 and
almost as small as in 1895, when the
supply was the smallest in the past
Is years.
This decrease in supply is seen as a
result Of the 1885 drought, which cur
tailed feed production in much of the
livestock producing area.
The average yearly slaughter OF
livestock during the 1923-34 period I'M
der Federal inspection amounted to
some 13.500.000 pounds Of dressed
meat. In 1888. the dressed weight OF
livestock slaughtered was 1O,Z74,oOO
pounds.
North Carolina farmers who nave
feed on their own farms. and most OF
them have fairly good supply, VIII
find it to their advantage to produce
more meat, especially beef and PORK

celery, onions, and spinach, are like
" to show an increased production
in 1887 Ordinarily increases in pro-
duction force prices to lower levels,
but in 1887 it is expected that furth-
er improvement in consumer buying
power will about offset the effects of
increased supplies and maintain
prices at about the same level as in
1886. If yields per acre in 1887, how
ever, should be generally higher than
average, it Is probable that produc-
ton would be so large that prices
would average lower than in 1885.
Food prices are slightly higher
than they were in the fall of 1895.
This is a favorable factor in the COM
petitive position of fresh vegetables
during the first half of 1887. Also

Record 1887 Production
OF Truck Crops Forecast
Largely Due to Acreage In of Five Ten Per-
cent Due to Probable Ri Sc of Ten Percent in Prices;
All Sections 70 Share Gains

Washington, Nov. REPRODUCTION
Of commercial truck crops for fresh
market shipment in 1887 probably
will be larger than the record high
volume in 1886, it was forecast today
by the Bureau of Agricultural Emo
Monies in its Annual Outlook Report
on commercial truck crops
: The bureau. summarizing the out
look, said:
IN general. the production increase
probably will be due largely to an in
creaAe in acreage ranging from five
to 10, percent A rise of about 10 per-
cent In the general level of vegetable
prices in 1896 is expected to bring
about this increase in acreage.
