sown the smaller will be the final

Seeding mixtures for permanent
pastures vary in the different Sec
tons OF North Carolina and also
for the good and medium soils. The
Extension specialists say that no
grower should attempt to establish
permanent pasture on land that
wwll not produce Is bushels of corn
per acre.
For good soils in the Piedmont
Section, for example, seed 10
pounds Of orchard grass, Is pounds
Of lespedeza, and l to pounds of
white clover per acre.
For medium soils, the recon-
mendation is 6 pounds of orchard
grass, 6 pounds of redtop, and Is
pounds of lespediza per acre.
About 5 pounds of Dallis grass
per acre can then be seeded in the
spring with either of these mix
lures. If the Dallis grass is seeded
in the fall with the other seed, it
will winter kill.
For full information on the best
seeding mixtures for all sections of
North Carolina, consult your coun-
ty agent. He has been given recon-
mendations to suit a wide variety
of conditions, including the renew
al of old sodS.

HOG RAISERS SELL
OFF FEEDER PIGS
OVER COSTLY FEED

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Aug. 12.-Many farmers in the hog
producing areas of North Carolina
are selling off their feeder pigs
rather than bring them to market
size because of the high price of
feed and because these feeder pigs
bring in local markets and to indi-
viduals about as much as a mature
hog.
County Agents of the State Col
lege Extension Service say that
feeder pigs are extremely scarce
and are exceptionally high in price.
The ceiling price of $14.55 does
not apply on pigs weighing up to
140 pounds and farmers are able
to sell them at a much higher
price per pound because of the
great demand for them.
So anxious are some people to
make sure of supply of meat for
home consumption that they are
willing to pay almost any price
for pig. There have been instance
where a pig of so pounds sold for
$500 or at the rate of 80 cents
pound.
AS a result of the high price for
pigs, some growers are now breed
ing extra sows and this will help
to correct the situation eventually,
reports say.

Carolina Farm Comment
BY F. H. JETER

Iexas veteran of the Army Air
Forces received the first loan 10
be made from the Farm Security
Administrations new $25, O0O. O0C
fund. This fund was earmarked bv
Congress for farm purchase loans
to veterans during the next IL
months.
Carroll M. Olson, former AAF'
captain, signed up for his loan only
lew hours after the fund became
available. He received $7,4OO to
cover the cost of a 157-acre farm
near Cranfills Gap, Texas, as well
as repairs and improvements to the
farmhouse and the construction of
a garage and smokehouse. Olson
will buy livestock and farm ma
chinery with money he saved while
he was in service.
Approximately 1000 World War
II veterans will be able to buy
farms through this Farm Security
fund. Applicants must find for
themselves the farms they wish to
purchase. Each farm is apprised,
and a loan is made only when the
purchase price is in line with the
farms long-range earning capacity
value.
The loans can cover the full pur-
chase price of farm plus the cost
of necessary repairs and improve
ments. Forty years are allowed for
repayment, with per cent interest
on the unpaid principal.
Like the Texas veteran, those re-
ceiving loans will be men with
agricultural experience. Olson, had
grown up on Texas farm and
was attending an agricultural col
lege at the time he entered service
in 1871. -
County Supervisors will give the
veterans individual, on-farm guild
ance in planning sound farm oper-
atoms and in carrying out their
plans efficiently. Olson's plans,
worked out with the help of the
supervisor in his county, call for
a diversified set-up. He will grow
10 acres of cotton, 80 acres of corn,
oats and grain sorghum for feed
IS. acres of pasture, and he will
keep II dairy cows, 20 sheep, 275
laying hens, and sow. Perhaps
some North Carolina Veterans will
want to follow this same idea in
obtaining their farms.

Christian Scientist
Churches Study Esprit

Spirit was the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon in all Christian
Science Churches and Societies
on Sunday, August II.
The Golden Text was from I
Corinthians 2: IL. What man
knoweth the things of a man, save
the spirit of man which is in him?
even so the things of God knoweth
no man, but the Spirit of God"
Among the citations comprising
the Lesson-Sermon were the fol-
lowing from the Bible: "And Jesus
returned in the power of the Spirit
into Galilee, and there went out
fame of him through all the reg
ion round about. And he came to
Nazareth, where he had been
brought up: and, as his custom
was, he went into the synagogue
on the sabbath day, and stood up
for to read. And there was deliv-
cred unto him the book of the
prophet Esaias. And when ne had
opened the book, he found the place
where it is written. The Spirit of
the Lord is upon me, because he
hath anointed me to preach the
gospel to the poor; he hath sent me
to heal the brokenhearted, to
preach delverance to the captives,
and recovering of sight to the blind,
To preach the acceptable year
of the Lord duke 4: IA, 16-19.
The Lesson-Sermon also included
the following passages from the
Christian Science tex 90 K,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: ''The prophet of today be-
holds in the mental horizon the
signs of these times, the reap
peearance of the Christianity which
heals the sick and destroys error,
and no other sign shall be given.
Body cannot be saved except
through Mind. The way through
which Immortality and life are
learned is not ecclesiastical but
Christian, not physical but meta
physical, not material but scienti-
fically spiritual" page 88).

Hybrid Corn Proves
Prolific And Hardy

SANFORD, Aug. 12.-Lee Coun-

these new strains have a deeper

storm damage than the open pol
linated varieties. County Agent J.
A. Marsh of the State College Ex-
tension Service says that the de-
mand for hybrid seed will be much
greater next spring than it was
this year because the growers are
producing from 20 to so per cent
more corn per acre, according to

IN
HOT COMPETITION

More than three tins as many
chicks are being Matched in North
Carolina today as six years ago.
The production continues to 20 UP,
and up, and up. The present de-
mand for chicks is undoubtedly a
direct reflection of the present
meat shortage because many peo-
pie who have never done so in the
past are now raising chicks to pro-
vide meat for home needs.
1T is scarcely conceivable that
this unprecedented demand for
chicks will outlast the termination
of the war for any long period OF
time" says Prof. Roy S. Dear
styne, head of the Poultry Depart
ment at State College. "Agricul-
ture as well as industry is now
in high gear and diminished stock
piles of food should be rapidly
built up, even with the require
ments of the war-ravaged coun-
tries being taken into considera-
ton.
THE North Carolina hatchery
industry should consider the fact
that real competition for their
markets will exist after the war.
'Other states have paralleled
the Matching development of North
Carolina and they too will be seek
ing markets aside from those in
their own states. Consequently,
competition for chick outlets will
be extremely keen"
Prof. Dearstyne suggests to the
hatcherymen that one of tn best
methods of meeting the postwar
competition is to continue the i'm
provement that has marked the
quality of North Carolina chicks in
the last ten years.
He also suggests that the hatch
erymen make very careful study
of hatchery overhead expense,
with view of cuttind down ex-
penditures to the very lowest level
without interfering with the eff
ficiency of operation.
''The hatcheryman should not
take the position that the solution
to his problem lies in drastic
reduction in the price of Matching
eggs" Dearstyne says. ION the
contrary, every incentive should
be given the supply-flock owner to
develop the best possible breeding
program, to feed the best possible
diet, and to exert such careful
management that he will produce
livable chicks with the ability to
grow and feather rapidly and per
form will as layers. The quality
of the chick is to be found in the
Matching egg.
'Since it costs real money to
maintain such breeding flocks, un-
due reductions in the money paid
for hatchings eggs will react vio-
lently against quality production
in the hatchery supply flocks.'
The last session of the legisla-
ture provided means for waging a
vigorous b o d. testing program
against pullorum, the most serious
disease of the poultry industry.
This act constitutes a milestone
in the path of poultry progress in
North Carolina, "Dearstyne says.
Effectively carried out. this pro-
gram should reduce pullorum in
lection to a minimum and result
in tremendous savings for the
poultry industry.
1.-THE volume of our hatchery in
dustry in the future will be large
ly regulated by the quality Of
chicks produced. This fact is a
real challenge to the hatcherynen
and the supply-flock owners as

HATCHERYMEN MAY
ship BY SKYWAYS

STATE COLLEGE, Raleigh, Aug.
12.-It is a well known fact that
birds can fly exceptionally long
distances but can baby chick
fly 1888 miles?
A North Carolina hatcheryman
says the answer to this question
is EYES," if he has an airplane
to help him out.
IAN importer from Quito, Ecu
ador, who is a dealer in "first-day"
chicks, as he expresses it, has
written a North Carolina hatchery
man for shipments of baby chicks
as soon as possible after the war
is over and air transportation diff
culties are removed.
'I want to import first day
chicks of your hatchery by air-ex-
press to connect with Pan Ameri-
can Anyways in Manu." says the
Ecuadorian importer. This COM
pany makes the air service of
Miami to Quito in very good con-
ditions. At what time do you be-
lieve you can send your baby
chicks, via air-express from your
hatchery to Ecuador"
T. T. Brown, Extension poultry
man at State College, is enthusiast
tic about shipments of baby chicks
by air and says that within five
years he believes that hatchery
men will be sending baby chicks to
Russia.
Prof. Roy. S. Dearstyne, head OF
the Poultry Department, says that
new markets for North Carolina
eggs, broilers, and chicks must be
quickly developed after the war
because competition is sure to be
exceptionally keen. He urges bet
ter control of diseases, breeding
for high production, and the reduc-
ton of overhead expense in pro-
ducing chickens and eggs.
