PIGS NEED PASTURE
FOR HEALTHY GROWTH

"You can't raise hog success
fully in a pen," says o. D. Bos-
tic, Negro farmer Stedman,
Route l, Cumberland County.
H. A. Johnson, Negro farm
agent for the Agricultural Ex-
tension Service, says it didn't
take Bostic long to learn the
value of a good pasture in the
production of hogs for market.
Bostic decided two years ago
to start raising few hogs on
commercial basis. 1t happens
that the Bostics farm is located
in a section of Cumberland
County where the soil is suited
to growing Ladino clover. He
seeded two acres and it did well.
He bought one gilt and has
raised two litters, letting the
clover account fer much of the
feed. The last litter of IL pigs is
now ready for market, ranging
in weight from 200 to 220 pounds
each. These hogs have had free
range on good Ladino clover and
fed with 40 per cent protein
supplement. This feeding pro-
gram has proven successful for
Bostic, says johnson. There
has been less than 500 worth
of supplement purchased to
grow these hogs out to tops"
Included in Bostic's future
plans are five sows and the use
of the two-litter system of breed
ing which should give him 10
or more top hogs to sell each
year.

POINTS TO HOMEMAKERS
FOR WISE SHOPPING

The homemaker today who gets
what she wants when she goes
shopping isn't given to impulse
buying. She keeps herself posted
on current trends and applies them
when she is buying.
The good shopper knows that
salespeople can help her with Sc
lection; she knows that label-read-
ing is good practice. She knows,
too, that when she's looking for a
new suit or coat that being IA
miliar with new materials and
with construction will eliminate
those skeletons" in her wardrobe.
With such background know
ledge, the shopper can plan her
purchases, and she will know
whether a particular coat or suit
that catches her fancy has the
qualities most important to her,

WATERFOWL BANDING opE.
EXPANDED IN IL STATES

Twelve States including North
Carolina, will join forces with
the Fish and Wildlife Service
and other conservation agencies
this summer in expanded water
fowl operations in Canada, Sec
etary of the Interior Douglas
Mckay announced today. This
S the first time States have par
ticipated in force.
The operations, to be con-
lucted as part of the annual
North American ground manage
ment program, call for the pla-
cling of numbered bands on the
egs of wild ducks, geese, and
coots. The recovery of bands
from birds killed by hunters
alter on will furnish valuable in
ormation on distribution from
waterfowl production areas and
will provide solutions to many
ther management problems.
Recoveries during the hunting
season will bring forth facts not
only on the relative Importance,
to the four flyways, of specific
waterfowl production areas, but
also on hunting pressures, NOR
tality rates, and bird distribu-
tons. This information will
guide wildlife authorities in
maintaining a proper balance be-
tween available waterfowl popu-
lations and the take of birds by
hunters.

troduced for soil conservation,
wildlife, and erosion control, it was
experimental with and studied for
more than ten years in trials by
farmers working with the Soil
Conservation Service. You should
not confuse multiAora rose with
hedges of osage-orange. Unlike
osage-orange, rose fences do not
grow tall and shade adjacent farm
crops, or require trimming. Multi
flora rose does not have wide
spreading roots to reduce crop
yields.
Most all plants will spread here
and there by several different
methods and multif1ora rose is no
exception. 1t will spread in two
different ways. First by dropping
side canes; if they touch exposed
coil, they may take root and grow.
Ordinary care of adjacent ground
by moving, cultivating, or grazing
will keep the rose from spreading
where you don't want it. Second,
multifiora rose seed can be carried
by birds as other seeds are. Seed
lings will sometimes spread to
fence rows, along streambanks, in
weeds and wild areas, and some
times to rough pasture. But, nev-
ertheless, good normal farming
methods will control this shrub
satisfactorily. 1t does not spread
from the root system.
If multifora rose is given a lit
tie attention, fertilizer, and MAIN
tenance on fairly well drained
soil, and not too much shade, it
will flourish into a living hedge of
full size in three to six years. This
living fence will hold horses, cat
tie, sheep, and goats, and even
hogs that have been ringed. Once
a living fence has been established
there is no need for posts or wire,
except at gates. Unlike other
fences that must be repaired or re-
placed, multif1ora rose fences last a
lifetime, and will continue to serve
your children.
Multif1ora rose in furnished free
to farmers for fencing, erosion
control, and wildlife cover and food

! through your local Soil Conserva-
tion District.

FACTS on MULTHLORA ROSE

in multiflora rose as a living fence,

rose is used on more American
farms every year, so there must be
something to this rose shrub.
There is more than one type of
multiflora rose and the one we
speak of in this article is known
by the scientific name of Rosa
Multifiora. This is a vigorous, up
right, thorny shrub with reclining
branches about s to IL feet high,
and about as wide as it is tall. The
foliage is similar to other roses.
Small, white flowers come out in
numerous clusters in May and
June. Pea sized, red fruit persists
throughout the winter. Multifora
