One OF the more important ere

himself to be a proud member of

Tells OF Work Of Hams
Amateur radio operators have
given invaluable service during dis
asters such as floods, windstorms
and other calamities, when all other
communication was cut off, and
have furthered the advancement OF
radio through their study, effort
and experience. He cited the work
of ham operators last year during
the Gulf hurricane, recalling how
they established communication ano

Other than being proud of the
hobby, Mr.. Moore gets real JOY
out of meeting the ''lot of people
over the air waves, and says he
could 60 almost anywhere in the
United States and find people with
whom he has talked over his trans
mitting-receiving set. He has talked
to persons in New Zealand, Aus
tralia, Hawaii, Guam, the Hondu
ras, Porto Rico, the Canal Zone
Alaska, all parts of Canada, Eng
Ind, France, Italy, Holland ane
Wales, all in the English language
However he much prefers to tall

One of the newest businesses in
Durant is Moore's Radio service, es-
tablish here in December, l945. and
combined with the Lexington branch
shop also run by Mr.. Moore, which
was moved to Durant two months
back. In deciding to have his one
shop in Durant rather than in Lex
ington, Mr.. Moore thought of the
location of Durant and its access to
Attala county and the towns of
Goodman, West and Kosciusko, as
well as of the more obvious reason
of less competition, and hence more
service here.
He bought the place from Mrs.
n. A. Afford, widow of the late Mr..
Afford. who gave up the shop near
ly three years ago upon the death
of her husband. w. H. Rhodes, ex-
perienced repairman, has been with
Mr.. Moore during this time, for the
shops owner scarcely has the time
to spend on his so-called bread and
butter"

In describing his hobby as an
amateur radio operator, Mr.. Moore
made the above statement. He told
that he picked up the trade as a
boy" and has been in the business
ever since. Now employed as radio
and code instructor at Holmes Jun
ior college as well as instructor in
automotive mechanics at Lamar
Hays Training school in Lexington,
the combination of which keeps him
busy, Mr.. Moore has been actively
IN the business Tor 20 years, most
OF the time in Holmes county. For
several years he worked in Jack
son at radio service shops, and lived
Tor time at Carlsbad, New Mexico.
During the war he taught radio
repair for the Army Signal corps at
State college. Since 1910 he has had
his own business.
In 1945 he purchased the present
shop which was then located in
the building adjacent to the Missis-
sippi Power and Light company
which building was recently sold
and which sale necessitated moving
to the present location next door
to City shoe shop. More recently he
moved the Lexington shop to
Durant, combining the two.
Complaints Are Few
Radio repairing has its ups and
downs, its comebacks and COM
plants, according to Mr. Moore

Hogs Futtened In Summer
Make Greater Profit

STATE COLLEGE, MISS.-Hogs
require more feed to produce 100
pounds of gain in summer than in
winter but the better price received
for finished hogs in summer more
than offsets the greater feed costs
This conclusion has been announc-
ed by J. B. Smith and ]. L. Fletcher
of the animal industry department
of the station after studying results
of 10 feeding trials conducted al
the Mississippi station during the
past several years. Eleven lots Of
pigs were fed during the winter
and eight in the summer.
Pigs fed in winter averaged I'll
pounds daily gain and ate 342
pounds of feed per 100 pounds gain
ed. Summer fed pigs made an ave-
rage daily gain of 100 pounds and
consumed 356 pounds Of feed per
100 pounds gain. The summer fed
pigs ate more feed and gained more
slowly than those fattened in win
ter.
However, study of feed costs
and hog market quotations during
the period of the test showed q
slight advantage in favor Of the sum-
mer fed hogs. In feeding trials, hogs
fattened in summer produced nine
cents more profit per 100 pounds
than those fed in the winter months.
eThe cost of summer feeding" Mr..
Fletcher points out. might be con-
siderably reduced by the use OF
early corn for hogging off through
July and August"
