North Carolina went “hog wild” on
it about 30 years ago. Some of our
agents carried groups of farmers up
there to see it back in the twenties.
Chester, Lancaster, and Fairfield
were among the first. And it spread

state.

It hasn’t been long $ince the horse

part of every farm. And we cherish

Boys Arc That Way
The most excitement for us was
the killing of the hog. At first a good
axeman tapped 'them in the head
with an axe. But later we got a 22
rifle and that did a very neat job.
As soon as the hog hit the ground,
several men would jump in the pen,
turn it on its back, and stick it so
it would bleed good. Then the rail

“Retaining the smart grace of line
that characterized the 1949 Ford, the
new edition, possesses added beauty

sells beef cattle. And they more than
pay his fuel bill for tractors.

Of All Things
Sometimes I’m going to list a lot
of the unusual things that I have
known of county agents being called
upon to handle.
I want to tell you this one now.
A few weeks ago I \Vas in County
Agent Hubbard’s office in Bamberg.
A lady in distress called. She want
ed him to come out and prescribe
for a den of rattlesnakes that she
had found in a hollow tree in her
yard. They had had a few warm
days, .and the snakes had begun to
stir. ——
And Carraway’s phone in-Charles
ton rings frequently with the widest
range of inquiries. One person
wanted to know what to feed rain
frogs. And would you believe jt,
Carraway had the answer from an
authoritative source in short order!

sides!
Seed Lespedeza And Top Dress Grain
February is the time to seed lespe
deza and top dress grain. In fact,
both of these jobs can be done at
the same time. - Then run a spike-
tooth harrow over it. That kills the
small weeds, works the grain, ties
the lespedeza seed in:place, and,does
the same for toe top dressing.
Our grain acreage in South Car
olina has doubled in recent years.
And that has much meaning in the

Hushed” V-8 engine...
# Imagine! The ’50 Ford offers you the same type engine
used in America's costliest cars . . . yet Ford's V-8 sells for
hundreds less than most "sixes.” It’s a quiet engine that
whispers while it works ... in fact, the '50 Ford's a quiet
car all around . . . sound-conditioned for silence. And, the
’50 Ford's a more comfortable, safer car, too—thanks to
such fine car features as the low, level "Mid Ship” Ride ...
13-ways-stronger "Lifeguard" Body . . . and 35% easier
