the latter game.
Giammalva a StandOut
Giammalva, bow legged
scrambler from Houston who
was a star in the Davis Cup
challenge round at Adelaide in
1856, played a standout game.
He never lost a service. His
returns were steady, generally
low and sharp. His volleyine
at times bordered on the SEN

MacKay also never lost his
service in giving powerful but

The rival captains decided
not to change lineups for to-

became mere formality. Sori-

LIVESTOCK DEPENDING ON
CORN PRODUCING ABILITY

Corn is a dual purpose crop. And
despite the thinking of quite few
Tar Heels, "white lightning" isn't
one of them.
John C. Rice, director of the N.
c. Crop Improvement. Association,
points out that corn can be sold
as cash crop or fed to livestock.
As for the latter, he feels that
continued growth of the states
livestock industry is largely de-
pendent upon the ability of North
Carolina farmers to produce corn.
Rice points out that demand for
livestock is on the increase. But
the state can't expand its hog,
beef cattle or poultry production
on a sound basis without providing
ample supply of feed. And corn is
one of the best sources of live
stock feed.
In urging North Carolina farm
ers to increase corn production III
1858, Rice emphasizes that adverse
weather conditions in the fall Of
1857 resulted in considerably fewer
acres being planted in small grain.
This acreage, plus acres normally
planted in corn and additional idle
acres in Eastern North Carolina,
means there's plenty of room to
expand.
