that company tap wells estimated
to contain three times as much oil
as the United States. The oil, of
course, accounts for Saud's invita-
ton to visit this country. The Arab
king may seem like an amusing
relic of the past, but he is a key
man in the struggle between Rus

FARMERS CAN INCREASE
INCOME FROM FORESTS

"North Carolina farmers have
immediate opportunities for in
creasing farm woodland incomes"
says John Gray, specialist in
charge of forestry extension at
North Carolina State College.
One immediate opportunity, says
Gray, is through tree planting I'M
der the Conservation Reserve phase
of the Soil Bank program. For, he
points out, farmers can be reim-
bursed up to 8 per cent of the
cost of establishing trees on for
mer croplands. The annual rental
on these paintings is To- dollars per
acre.
A second way, says Gray, is
through farmer self-employment
and hiring help to harvest and
market forest products instead of
selling standing timber. Gray
points out that net wages earned.

HOG KILLING SHOULD
BE WHILE 1T is COLD

Folks that are killing hogs
should plan on having all of the
hogs slaughtered at least by the
middle of February if they are
going to cure the meat on the
farm" advises John Christian, ex-
tension animal husbandry special
list at North Carolina State Col
lege. Christian says meat from
hogs that are killed in March
sometimes becomes off-flavored
due to the high temperatures dur
ing March and April.
Christian points out that in the
event the hogs are not going to
weigh enough for slaughter until
that time, it probably would be
advisable to have these animals
processed at your local processing
plant.
Kill only the number of hogs
that can be used to advantage by
the family at one time, urges
Christian. For, he points out, if
more than four or five are to be
killed, it would be a good idea to
spread the killing time over three
weeks to month. He believes that
in this way, better use can be
made of the fresh pork carcass
and the by-products.
Christian says the safety limit
on fresh pork in the freezer locker
is about six months. He points out
that if it is kept much over this
length of time, the pork is liable
to become off-flavored, or perhaps
the fat will become slightly rancid.
Seasoned sausage should not be
kept in the locker for more than
three months. Any meat that has
salt in it will not keep well in the
freezer, he adds. In the event
that a family has a large volume
of sausage, Christian advises that
they freeze some of the ground
pork before it is seasoned. Then
take it from the locker and season
it later when there is need for it..
Christian says some folks pre-
fer to stuff the sausage into cas-
ings or into muslin bags. They
hang this sausage in the smoke
house and age it. This produces a
sausage with an aged flavor, says
Christian, and it will keep in this
way for a long period of time.

DEMANDS HALT IN
HORSEPOWER RATE
FOR AUTOMOBILES

Charlotte.-In calling for a legal
halt to the present horsepower
race by automobile manufacturers,
Thomas B. Watkins, president of
the N. C. State Automobile Asso-
citation declared, "The time has
come when car makers should give
serious thought to the death poten-
tial they are creating by steadily
increasing the horsepower of au-
tomobiles.
"While this question up to this
time has been considered more
or less untouchable subject, this
motor club, acting in the interest
of the motoring public, must go on
record as favoring a reduction of
horsepower as the most logical
way of reducing our mounting
highway fatalities" he said.
"Our grandfathers would have
had more sense than to use TWEEN
ty-mule team to bring home a
bushel of potatoes, and yet we give
the fantastic power of the new
cars, some with ridiculous three
hundred-plus horsepower, to our
wives to go shopping, to our teen
age children for their enjoyment,
and to ourselves to commute to
work"
Congress members have express
ed growing concern over the in
creasing number of traffic fatali-
ties, which reached record 10000
last year. Sen. Gore (D-Tenn.) sug-
ested that the "time may come
when some regulation of horsepow-
er and highway speeds may be nee
