only that one place as Q headQuar- ters for the dispensing of iHforIna- ton and advice in connection with the filling out of applications. Starting tomorrow morning, Harley Dennison will be stationed at the American Legion headquarters on Holmes avenue to take care of all callers and to answer phone callD made regarding the bonds.
 Red Cross DeIugcd.
 The Red Cross office here in the city, which has about 2,000 names of veterans on its files at the present time, announced this morn- ing that they are receiving an abundance of telephone calls. The eagerness is needless and unneces- sary, however, for the bonds will only be taken care after something official has been received in that office. This eagerness of some folk to secure the benefits of the bill passed yesterday may be more clearly Illustrated by an incident which occurred. Shortly after the news had been announced over the radio, in fact only about an hour afterward, Q man swept into the Red Cross offices and wished to know if he could collect his money. While this anxiety Is sometimes commendable, in the case of the Red Cross, who also nave Q great deal of other work to do, 1t is sometimes tends toward confusion. It will be some time before the actual handing out of cash on the bonds to the people on the Red Cross files and that organization would appreciate the cooperation that such people give them in the matter.
 Legion to Aid.
 William c. Murray, department adjutant, stated yesterday that application blanks would be avail able Wednesday night, at the latest, in all of the 126 legion posts throughout the state. In regard to work being done for ell veterans the adjutant said, "This work will be done for every veteran who res quests 1t, whether he be a legion member or not. Because of the usual technicalities in such government applications, we urge every veteran to avail himself of this opportun- ity."
 Waterbury sent more than 4,6oC of its male residents into the serv- ice during tho war period. Scores have since died or have moved from the city, making 1t d!filcult to estl- mate with any degree of accuracy tho number residing here at pres ents Conservative estimates place the number ct 5000.

Hogs are Chief Cash Crop
Of Young Piedmont Farmer

4 \ excellent illustration of success
L A tul hog production in the Piedmont
area, where most farmers pay little at
tcntion to commercial hog production, is
the experience of livestock minded
young NeWbcrry county farmer, Warren
Abrams, whose chief cash crop is hogs.
SO well has this young South Caro-
linian learned hog farming that Prof.
l.. Y. Starkey. chief OF animal husbandry
at Clemson College, says he can offer
no criticism of Abrams plans and prac-
tees; and so successful are these meth
DDS and systems that hog sales from the
farm in 1885 reached the total of 81
2oo.1+ in late November.
The Abrams farm fertility had been
rather depleted with cotton farming
When Warren took charge after his
fathers death in 1923. he soon decided
that under existing conditions a contin
uation of cotton farming would lose the
farm for the family.
Real Money On Farm
A visit from the county farm agent
and ]. r. Hawkins, extension livestock
specialist, stimulated WarrcnS interest
in a few pigs he had and turned him to-
ward hog as principal cash crop. The
result is that in the 10 years. intervening
pastures have been developed, a system
of fencing has been built. knowledge
of feed production and feeding practices
has been acquired and now cash from
hogs is the real money of the farm.
With II Poland China grade sows
and purcbrcd sire as his breeding herd,
Abrams produces each year over 200
hogs Some are sold as pigs, most are
fed out for the high markets in early
Spring and Fall.
