MANGANESE DEPOSITS
ARE FOUND IN STATE
Discoveries Result OF Survey Con-
Quoted By The Division VI
Mineral Resources

RALEIGH, Nov. 17.-LP-Several
new manganese deposits have been
brought to the attention of the
North Carolina division of mineral
as a result of a manga
nese survey conducted by the divis-
ion.
The survey was a part of a nation
wide investigation, sponsored by the
federal government, to determine the
extent of strategic war materials IN
this country.
T. G. Murdoch, assistant state
geologist, has investigated manga
nese deposits in Ashe, Caldwell
Cherokee, Clay, Franklin, Haywood
Transatlantic and Wake counties.
It has been known for years that
North Carolina contained manga
nese, but there were few areas in the
state in which the mineral was sut-
ficiently abundant to warrant COM
mercial mining. However. manga
nese prices recently have risen con-
siderably, and a number of the de-
posits may now be worked profitably,

IVA presentation review honor.
ing Colonel Christopher D. Pierce,
who arrived at Fort Moultrie, No
vember II, from Milwaukee, to
assume command of the post, was
held Friday on the post parade
ground.
Colonel Pierce relieves Colonel
Ralph E. Hayes, 10th Coast Ar
tillery, anti-aircraft, past COM
mander of the reservation. Colonel
Haynes has been ordered to Fort
Savannah, near H~inesville, Ca,
an anti-aircraft training area.
Stationed here are two battalions
of the 252nd Coast Artillery, I'M
der the command of Colonel R. S.
Nj Clelland, from Wilmington, two
batteries of the 18th Coast Artil-
lery, several hundred casual troops
at the Oversee Discharge and Re-
placement depot, the 10th Coast
Artillery, anti-aircraft, and sever
al other smaller units.
It is anticipated that the 252nd
Coast Artillery, indicted into serv-
ice last September 16, from North
Carolina, will be moved to Fort
Screven, Ca, within the next four
or five weeks.
Two battalions of the 263rd Coast
Artillery, South Carolina national
guard, will report to Fort Moul-
trie as soon as the regiment can
be modelled for a year of active
military service.
The third battalion of the 263rd
will go to Fort Savannah with TO-
600 other former national guard
troops to be instructed in anti-air-
craft defense by the 10th Coast
Artillery.
In command at Fort Savannah,
a center of anti-aircraft training,
is Brigadier General Richard F.
Cox, recently transferred there
from Fort Moultrie.
In the construction of the train
ing area at Fort Savannah, a snag
was struck by workmen. In the lay
ing of water sewerage lines hard
rock foundation was struck instead
of the sand and clay anticipated.
Workmen are having to blast
through the rock.
The 10th Coast Artillery at Fort
Moultrie was supposed to leave the
post here for the training area at
Fort Savannah, November 20. The
part of the 10th at Fort Screven
was in order to leave the post
there within the next few days.
It is now uncertain when the 10th
will take over the training area.
The 252nd will probably leave
shortly after the 10th moves.

FOOD STAMP PLAN
EXTENDED in \. {.
Durham And NASH Counties
Added To List Of Those
Receiving Service

RALEIGH, Nov. 17.-Dr. I. o.
Schaub, director of the N. C. State
college extension service, announced
today the Federal Food Stamp Plan
has been extended to two additional
North Carolina areas.
Durham and the remainder of Dur
ham county and Nashville and the
remainder of Nash county are the
two areas to receive the service. The
selection followed conferences be-
tween representatives of the Sur
Plus Marketing administration of the
u. S. department of agriculture, and
local public officials, welfare off
GERS, and business representatives
who will be concerned with the i'd
ministration of the program.
DR.. Schaub said he had been mott

will be voluntary.
Under the plan of stamp distribu-
ton to be used, families receiving
relief grants will be able to buy
orange-colored food stamps and to
receive free blue surplus stamps.
Families unable-t to buy orange
stamps will be eligible to receive
the blue stamps free.
The orange stamps are used to
make regular food purchases in the
same way that cash would be used.
The free blue stamps are used to OBJ
tain specially designated surplus
foods as additions to the family's
larder. Under the Stamp Plan, price
depressing farm SURPRISES are moved
through regular trade channels to
families on relief. This gives the
farmer a broader market for lis
surplus crops and at the same time
adds needed health-giving foods to
the diets of families receiving pub
lie aid.

SWINE INFLUENZA
NOTICED IN STATE
Grinnells Warns Farmers To
Keep Close Watch On Hogs
During Cold Days

RALEIGH, Nov. 17.-The annual
fall wave of swine influenza is now
making its appearance, DR.. {. u.
Grinnells. State college veterinarian,
said today as he warned farmers to
keep a close watch on their hogs
during the cold, rainy weather ahead.
Coming at a time when numerous
hog cholera outbreaks have been re-
ported, swine influenza is a serious
threat to the pig crop" DR.. Grinnells
stated. "Influenza lowers the re-
sistance of the animals, and herds
which have not been v~accinated
against cholera I frequently vic
tins of the disease.
Most swine recover from the in
fluenza itself, but it often under
mines their health to such an extent
that they are unthrifty and unprofit-
able. 1t has it's most serious effect
on brood sows, causing them to lose
pigs, or to give birth to pigs which
are weak or dead"
The college veterinarian said that
exposure to cold, rainy weather is
the most frequent aus of intluenza
among hogs. He RECOMMENDS call
ing a local veterinarian when the
first symptoms appear.
'However," he declared, "th
symptoms of swine influenza are 81
similar to those of cholera that fire
uuently only a veterinarian can tel
them apart. The animals have
high fever, will not eat. lie In thell
bed, and have a generally depressed
appearance. When these symptoms
appear, 1t is usually influenza OF
cholera and a veterinarian should be
called in either case.
November is n of the worst
months for Influenza, and with the
disease being repCtted in many 10
calities, farmers should be especially
on guard against It," DR.. Grinnells
concluded.

Good Rotation Will Increase
Water Holding Capacity
Of The Land
BY GUY A. CALDWELL
General Agricultural Agent
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co.

Atlantic Coast Line Railroad 20.
Maintenance is not a difficult
task if terraces are properly spaced
and properly built and only on fields
where slope and soil conditions are
favorable. If precautions are taken
such as good rotation, strip cropping,
contour tillage and proper breaking
of the land, very little terrace main
tenance will be necessary especially
after the first year.
"A good rotation, by maintaining
a high humus content, will increase
the water holding capacity OF the
Soil and reduce the total amount OF
water that reaches the terrace cham
mel.
IF all other conditions are favor.
able to terrace construction and
maintenance, strip cropping may not
be essential in the proper upkeep OF
the terraces. However. by reducing
the length of slope. a strip of close
growing crop retards the velocity of
water and helps to strain out the
silt that would otherwise reach the
terrace channel. On the more erod'
lille types of soil. terraces should be
reinforced by strip cropping. When
sufficient acreage is available fof
row crops a good plan would be tc
keep the terrace itself seeded down
to a permanent c~lose-growing crop.
Contour tillage is essential IN
proper terrace maintenance. Rows
should be run parallel to the upper
terrace with the short rows dis
charging into the terrace channe be-
low. Being practically on a level
each row acts as Il miniature terrace
by catching and. holding the rain
water. thus permitting the water to
soak into the soil rather than flow
rapidly down the slope. With tobacco
crops a compromise on contour till
age may sometimes be necessary.
In order to secure adequate drain
ace the fall in tobacco rows may be
increased up to n per cent, which
ordinarily will not cause serious
erosion and sitting in the channel.
when breaking land the terrace
should always be broken first by
back-furrowing on the ridge. The
burrows are continued Throwing the
soil toward the ridge) until the bot
tom of the flow-line is reached. A
second furrow is then started SKI
81 -Ia,,o 4ln oman fnTrnU in the
channel. Flowing is continued to-
ward this back furrow throwing the
soil uphill out of the channel until
the open furrow in the channel Is
again reached. This leaves an I'M
broken strip between terraces which
may be broken as separate land.
"This system of blowing terraced
land should be varied from year to
wear to avoid the formation of a deep
dead furrow midway between ter
races and also a ridge just above the
flow line.
despite all precautions silt may
sometimes collect in the terrace
channel. This silt should not be al
lowed to accumulate but should be
removed by the use Of a slip-scrape
or V-drag. Neg1ecting to do this
may cause an accumulation OF silt
to act as a lam in the terrace chan
mel, causing the water to spill oVer
the terrace after a heavy or pro-
lonsed rain. Keep the flow line open
at all times"

= If expansion is to be made,

should conduct a careful analysis,
not Alone of the market, but also
of his own situation. In the first

S0YBEAN FARMERS
TOP ALL RECORDS
TAYLOR Reminds The Livestock
Farmers OF The Feeding
Value Of Beans

RALEIGH, Nov. 17-With North
Carolina soybean producers top
ping all previous records this
year, H. w. Taylor, marketing
specialist of the N. c. State Col
lege Extension Service, reminded
livestock farmers today of the
feeding value of the bean.
According to the November l
estimate, this state will produce
1884, 900 bushels, the largest crop
ever recorded. Last year the crop
totaled 2,012, 900 bushels. For the
United States as a whole, produc-
ton his year is estimated to be Z
per cent less than the 1889 harvest,
although the 1910 acreage was in
creased 10 per cent.
In connection with feeding whole
soybeans to livestock, Taylor Sc
cured the recommendations of ].
A. Arey, Extension Service dairy
man; L. I. Case, extension animal
husbandman; and DR.. John E.
Foster, animal husbandman of the
Experiment Station.
Arey pointed out that at pres
ent prices, ground soybeans can
be fed profitably to dairy cattle in
a grain mixture. However, not
more than o%ne-fourth should be
soybeans, as a larger proportion
than this in the mixture might
prove too laxative. Ground soy.
beans are equivalent to cottonseeo
meal, pound for pound, in milk
production.
DR.. Foster and Case said tina
when not more than two pounds
of whole oybeans are fed pei
head daily, the beans are of ap'
proximate equal feeding value,
pound for pound, to cottonseed
meal in balancing a ration for fat.

"a native or scrub bull is far more
expensive at $40 than a purebred
beef bull at $125."
Applying this statement, the
State college man explained that
calves from the purebred beef bull
will bring approximately SO more
per head when marketed as beef
animals than the calves from the
native bull. On a 35-calf basis, this
would amount to $3.50 a year.
Over a four year period, he went
on, thi S would make the scrub bull
cost $1,315 more than the %purebred
bull. The difference was due to in
creased production in quantity and
quality of beef and not to the sale
