market stays open until the last
of the crop is sold. This means
Mullins sells a greater percentage
of the common and trashy leaf
than other markets, but despite
that fact Mullins maintains us
leadership in price.
When the 1852 selling season
begins growers will find unexcell-
ed facilities in Mullins for the
sale of their tobacco. A million
and quarter square feet OF floor
space make is possible for the
grower to unload and spread MS
leaf for sale, free from congestion
and confusion. Four sets of buyers
make it possible for the Mullins
Warehousernen to clear rs much
as 100000 pounds of tobacco
from their floors daily, and this
rapid disappearance of tobacco
makes room for more, and gives
the grower a better chance for a
prompt sale. This year, the Null
Inns Warehousemen have adopfeI
the half day selling system which
means every warehouse firm on
the market will have a guaranteed
sale every day. A grower can nov
come to Mullins, and sell with the
warehouse of his choice any day
from Monday thru Friday.
In addition to providing more
selling time Mullins four sets of
buyers afford more competition.
1t can be truly said {" all the world
buys tobacco in Mullins" for every
dealer in bright leaf tobacco, ard
every manufacturer of cigarettes
in the world, excepting the Soviet
Union, has buying representation
in Mullins. The buyers represent
ing the American Tobacco Co.,
Leggett & Myers, the R. j. Rey-
nolds Tobacco Co., the makers Of
Phillip Morris and Old Gold CT
garettes, the Export Leaf Tobacco
Co., the Imperial Tobacco Co.,
A. H. Buchan & Co., the Mullins
Leaf Tobacco Co., the J. P. Taylor,
or Universal Leaf Tobacco Co.
and the c. w. Walters Tobacco
Co. come on the floor with orders
for every type bright leaf grown
IN South Carolina. No matter how
good, or how common the tobacco,
a grower will find strong de.
mand and keen competition for
every leaf that comes out of the
barn when it is sold in Mullins.
Mullins also has a group of
warehousemen who are outstand-
ing IN the tobacco world. Expert
enced and progressive they are
acknowledged leaders in the sale
OF tobacco. With hardly an exec J.
ton Mullins warehousemen are
tobacco growers; they know tobac-
co from the plant bed to the pack
aged cigarette, and they know
every angle of the sale of this
money weed.
The owners and operators of
Mullins warehouses are as fol-

Soil Conservation
Is Being Supported

The Supervisors of the Cape
Fear Soil Conservation District
are supporting their State and Ma
tional associations fully, In order
that these associations may cor
tinue to give wise and torceful
leadership in the field of soil con-
Servation.
G.. T. Gore, District Supervise:
for Columbus County, and Secre-
tary-Treasurer for the local five
county district, recently forward
ed checks to the State and Nation
al associations to cover 1852 men,
berShlp dues in both associations.
He also forwarded checks for
the three affiliate memberships
for 1852 in the national ASSocia-
ton. These affiliate memberships
arc issued as honorary recognition
to individuals or business concerns
who donate $500 to the National
Association of Soil Conservation
Districts The three mem berShlpS
recently forwarded from the local
district were secured by the Blad-
en-. Fender. and Columbus County
groups of supervisors, respective
ly. The donation in Columbus
County was made by WaSham &
Warlick Farm Supply Company of
Whiteville. This firm will soon
receive a beautifully engraved
membership certificate from the
office of the Nationa Association
at League City. Texas.
There are now Is soil conServa-
ton districts in North Carolina
covering 90 percent of all the farm
lands in the state. There are ap..
proxinateiy 1900 active districts
in the U. S. covering more than
80 percent of the Nations agricul-
tural land. The farmers who serve
as supervisors in these districts
have organized State associations
in most states, which held annual
meetings 10 exchange ideas and
to develop policies and proceed
ures for guiding and promoting
their work within the State. Al,
of the 2,400 districts in the Nation
are likewise Bonded together in a
National association to promote
the soil conservation movement on
a Nationwide basis.
These associations are governed
by officers and directors elected
annually. They serve on a volun-
teer basis without pay, except for
minimum expense account when
travelling on association business.
The National Association, how
ever. maintains a National office
which requires an executive secre-
tary and small staff. The Asso-
citation carries on an extensive ed

Self-feeders promote fast gains
and reduce labor costs. Hogging-
down grain in the field is another
way to save costs by reducing
labor.
Fattening hogs eat more and
gain faster if you keep them cool
and comfortable during hot
weather. The Texas Experiment
Station showed that gains are in
creased when hogs have a con-
crete wallow to keep them cool.
Conveniently located shade helps
keep them comfortable and re-
duces the danger of heat losses.
Construct shade so that the breeze
will blow over the hogs.
Plenty of clean, fresh water is
essential at all times but is especi-
ally important during hot summer
months. Partially covered water
troughs make it easy to keep wat
er clean and cool.
Market hogs at 200 to 225 pound
weights for most efficient gains
and highest prices. After hogs
reach 200 pounds, it requires an
extra IA to " of pound of fee J
to produce a pound of gain. A
Cornbelt swine specialist has sug-
gested that you may find it more
profitable to market ton of pork
in ten skins instead of eight.

IGIVE YOUR PIG
|CHANCE TO MAKE
HOG OF HIMSELF

Even a pig needs some help in
order to make hog of himself.
Good summer management helps
pigs make market-topping hogs.
Well-fed, properly managed hogs
make profit most years. Diseas-
ed or parasite-infested hogs that
don't get the right care and feed
are poor bet any year.
Start with healthy pigs and
keep them healthy for fast gains
and efficient feed use. A sick pig
is poor producer. 1t takes longer
to get to market and requires
more feed.
Sanitation is the first require
ment for disease and parasite con-
troll. Good green pasture provides
cheap. nouriShing feed and is the
best way to maintain sanitation.
Avoid stale mud wallows. Keep
water and feed troughs clean and
supplied with fresh water and
well-balanced rationS. Well-fed
pigs are easiest to keep healthy
Your county agent or agricul-
ture teacher can show you how to
worm hogs with sodium flouritle.

The noted feeding authority, F..

six pounds of grain when used in
amounts needed to balance rations

An economical and efficient
protein supplement you can mix

Spires of the Spirit
The Small MirQc|e'

A book is often pulpit from which
knowingly is revealed a pageant of faith.
Again and again some human portrayal
mirrors an eternal truth made flesh, even
as do the parallels of the Great Galilean,
whose birth the world is celebrating. In
such stories the word becomes presence
and power, as it subdues kingdoms and
removes mountains. Thus it is in the
narrative Of "The Small Miracle" as told
by Paul Calico. which is as devoid of
logic as Alice in Wonderland" It is the
portrayal of brave little lad walking in
the wonderland of faith. It is as far
from the worldly wise Sophistication of
our contemporary day as is Christmas
itself
The charming picture, as skillfully
drawn in deft touches. must needs have

and antiquity. And this is found under

had all been victims of the war. The
little donkey, good, useful and docile,
was the only link with the sad past. This
four-footed companion was the boys

1t Makes Sense

The emergence Of Senator Taft as an almost
certain choice for Majority Leader in the new
Senate has met with what, on the surface, seems
to be mixed reaction. Some see it as a mark
of harmony. Others are talking in apprehensive
tones of the exclusion of pro- Eisenhower
Senators from top command posts in the Senate.
Actually, this seeming disagreement is more
apparent than real. For Senator Taft, in any
capacity, would quite probably be the real Senate
leader. This being so, it is better that he be
intrusted formally with the leadership, in which
position he will have responsibility for carrying
forward the legislative program and will also
be in close and intimate contact with the White
House on a day-to-day basis
No doubt there will be differences between
the Ohio Senator and the new President. But
experience is likely to show that the choice of
Senator Taft as Majority Leader will tend to
narrow rather than expand the range of
disagreement.

Our Stake in Steel

The vitality of American industry, proved so
often in times of either peace or war, is reflected
again in the year-end report of the American
Iron and Steel Institute.
Despite the long strike of last summer, the
steel industry will produce SO million tons this
year to maintain its world leadership by wide
margin. More significant, however, is the fact
that monthly production during the last quarter
is at rate of about 116 million tons annually
while continuing plant expansion indicates
capacity of 119 million tons a year hence. At
the beginning of 1852, the industrys annual rated
capacity was under 109 million tons Direct
defense requirements for 1853 are now estimated
by the Steel Industry Advisory Committee at IA

erinarian could do, she grew weaker
and thinner. The boy became obsessed
with the belief that the only way to
save the life of Violetta was to take
her to the crypt tomb of st. Francis,
who loved animals and called them his
brothers and sisters. Pepino felt certain
that if only he could take the donkey
to the sacred place. st. Francis would
make her we'll again. Hadn't a boy he
knew taken his sick cat down there, and
the cat recovered!
Soon, with the sick and shaky compan-
ION who had lost her smile, Pepino was
on his way through the crooked streets
to the church. Now comes a strange
procession of bishops and priests and
monks. most of them sympathetic, but
helpless, some aghaSt at the very idea
OF donkey being admitted to that holy
spot. Beside. how could such a beast
get down the narrow, winding stairs
leading to the tomb?
But good Father Damico, to whom
st. Francis was living presence, really
wanted the boy to have his way, for
he saw that great was his faith. It was
he who conf1ded that there was another
entry far below, which had been walled
up for hundred years. It could be
opened. Why not? But, as Pepino went
from official to official. the answer was
no" The lad remembered something
an American soldier, who had been quar-
tered near Assist. told him: IF you want
TO get ahead in this world, don't never
take no for an answer" Even all these
denlalS did not extinguish the flame of
his hope. Pepino decided on an auda-
clous plan-to go to Rome and see the
Pope.
Reluctantly leaving Violetta in the
care of trusted friend, he took his
savings, and, thumbing his way to the
Holy City. soon found himself in st. Pc
ter's Square. What contrast, the glory
OF the massive dome and the splendor
Of the Vatican, and this wee, grief
haunted lad with bare feet, torn trousers
and ragged jacket! While, at first, the
wonder of it all awed him, his mind
was filled with thoughts of the sad, little,

Of two thousand years. the birth of

have invented it. It was Gods will that
Christ should be born to bring a new
Joy and a new pity into the world, to
redeem mankind. This is the most Won
derful event in the world-to look for
ward to Christmas.
Amidst our trials and perplexities in
the busy days Of life. we can visualize
that frosty night. the singing of the

following the brilliant star that led
them to the stable. What did it mean9
Within, the miracle-where lay the
Divine Christchild on a bed of straw.
He could have come in magnificent
glory, but God chose the humblest way.
He reveals himself in little ways of life,
the love of home and family, acts of
kindness and love toward little children.
For all people may there be greater
realization, and firmer faith in Gods
love this holy season. that we may be
love-lifted and startled.
