McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK SOl'TH CAROLINA * ’nril 30. 1942 Pays To Feed Pigs Protein Supplement Columbia, Apr. 27.—It pays to feed a high-grade protein supple ment to pigs, J. R. Hawkins, live stock specialist of the Clemson College Extension Service, de clared here today, citing experi mental results in proof. tests indicate that 100 pounds of supplement saved 14.5 bushels of com and re sulted in 89 percent faster gains Than com alone in a dry lot,” Hawkins said. “On good legume pasture the advantago of balan cing the ration is sli^iy less but still great enough, the time of rwnrh-gting- is considered, to pay good dividends. Pigs fed grain and supplement reached market weight at two months earlier age, of feed, time. balanced as nearly as possible tc produce maximum results from feed,” the specialist concludec Meat is one of the items of fco in greatest demand.

Experts tell us we should have an egg every day or at least three or four a week. Eggs can be prepared in so many ways that no one need get tired of them. Those that are used in cooking are just as valu able as those eaten as “eggs ’. The most important thing to remember in cooking eggs is to cook them slowly and with low heat. This method of cooking eggs makes them tender yet per fectly cooked. Have you ever tried Swiss Eggs as a supper dish? They are sim ple and inexpensive yet delicious.

Idle Land Is Like An Idle Factory Mr. McKesson, of the Soil Con servation Service, is urging farm ers to bring into production all suitable areas which will produce their best products, whenever pos sible. The nation is calling upon each and everyone to produce more grain, eggs, vegetables and meats to meet the goal set for this year in helping to feed the men under arms and also our peo ple at home. Areas which do not have good yielding ability can be used for temporary graz ing or provide hay for our live stock. The Soil Conservationist ^em phasized the necessity of building up land now in cultivation, and also idle land by the use of green manure crops. On cultivated lands corn can be interplanted with cowpeas, soybeans or velvet beans and idle land sowed down, thus furnishing the farmer more organic matter to plow under as a source of nitrogen. “We all know r nitrates are now being di verted into the manufacture of munitions. No one can estimate how much soda will be available jn 1943, but the indications are that there will be less than there was this year. So as a source of nitrogen let’s sow down idle land and be ready to bring this land into cultivation next year,” he stated. Mr. McKesson pointed out that farmers should try and save as much seed as possible for use next year, for both cultivated and idle fields. Everyone now realizes that seeds of all kinds are very scarce. Unless steps are taken to save seeds this spring and fall, next year there will probably be a much greater shortage. If a farmer has more seed than he can use there will probably be a market for all his excess.

C. * m Buy Your Furniture From J. s. strLm Easy Payment Plan. \ ■ > % ■ No Carrying Charge. McCormick, S. C. r Clemson, Apr. 25.—The basic feeds for either dairy cows or beef cattle are forage crops of good quality, C. G. Cushman, dairy specialist of the Clemson Extension Service, said here to day in a warning that the present rate of production of forage crops of good quality will not be suffi cient to sustain profitably the state’s growing livestock popula tion. “Cattle are designed by nature and improved by man to convert forage crops into meat and milk,” said Cushman. “Thp tendency of South Carolina cattle owners to compensate for lack of forage, either in quantity or in quality, by feeding heavily on grain or, worse, not to compensate for either, can lead to but one con clusion—disappointment and fail ure. Grain feeding, if wisely used, is used as a supplement to' an abundance of good forage and not a substitute for it. “South Carolina is a forage- producing state. Intelligent management will give opportunity to produce two crops of cured hays per year; winter grain hays and summer annual and peren nial legume hays. Two crops of silage are possible; winter small grain silage and corn or sorghu with soybeans. A year-round grazing program can be planned Mixtures of small grains and le gumes for winter and earl spring; permanent pastures sup plemented with Pearl millet o Sudan grass for summer; and con and velvet beans for late fall anr early winter. These are, in the main, close-growing and legum crops which hold the soil am maintain its fertility.” Pointing out that there arc ii the state also thousands of r ‘e of abandoned lands, which )e- ’ause of slope or severe en >n have been taken out of row- op cultivation and which are m- ributing nothing to the Tie’s agricultural wealth, Cut . an states that these lands cabe brought back into prod, ion through the use of kudzu md lespedeza Sericea, the soil-i ing legume forage crops, which can be converted into saleable live stock products. May time is known as moth time and generations of house wives have waged war against these pests every spring when The winter woolens are put away. This year, as seldom before, the storing must be done with special care as part of the conservation program. Before woolens are put away you must be sure that they are perfectly clean and free from moths because moths can work lust as well one place as another. Dry cleaning, laundering, sunning with thorough brushing will rid materials of moths, eggs and larvae. When the woolens are clean they can be put away in paper bags, wrapped in paper, sealed in boxes, or stored in absolutely tight trunks and chests. Care must be taken that the paper around the woolens isn’t torn because while moths won’t eat through paper they will manage to get through the tiniest hole in the wrappings. Unless trunks and chests in which woolens are stored have tight fitting lids the articles should be closely wrapped in paper. As an added precaution against moths it’s a good idea to tie moth crystals in a cheesecloth bag and to hang it up on the hanger with the garment. Garments that are stored in chests and boxes should have the crystals sprinkled generously through their folds. It’s advisable to protect the fab ric from direct contact with the crystals by folding paper through the garment or blanket or what ever you may be packing away. About one pound of moth crys tals is recommended as an ade quate amount to use in a small chest, trunk or wooden packing box. Just a word about cedar chests. In order for a cedar chest to be safe it must be made of at least 70 per cent solid red cedar and constructed in such a way that it is perfectly tight—moth-proof. Then if the woolens are perfectly clean when they go into the chest you can be reasonably easy in your mind about articles stored in the chest. Since woolen garments and blankets have been freshly dry ^leaned and laundered just before storing care should be taken in packing so that they will be in ood condition to use without extensive pressing, when taken out in the fall for use. MothA delight in dark, out of the ay places where they can work mdisturbed by frequent cleaning, so special attention should be given to carpets and rugs under ‘“avy pieces of furniture aind along the edges of carpets close to the wall. Soiled coats and sweaters left hanging in a closet attract moths ind once moths are in a closet they will damage any woolens in it.

When Arms, Lefts, Back, Hands Hurt With Muscle Pains, Try This Popular Dependable Medicine. There still exists in sdme quar- tes the quaint idea that the gov ernment is simply wasting money by building battleships of various sorts and sizes. The sinking of heavy battleships on both' sides is used to justify this argument; and quotations from Gen. Billy Mitchell are brought out to prove the point. We are also reminded that Admiral Peary—who discov ered the North pole—once said: “He who commands the air com mands all.” But the “air world” has only arrived half-way in its rapid prog-' ress toward the goal which these men were talking about. When it reaches that goal, it will be a waste of money to construct great dreadnoughts and cruisers; be cause the huge flying fortresses of that day will be able to leave their factories in Detroit or wherever else they are manufac tured, and arrive on the battle- front—in say Burma—next morn ing. If they need fighter planes to help them, they will carry them in their wings—ready for instan taneous take-off while in the air or on the ground. • If they need medium weight artillery or tanks or trucks—they will carry them. If they wish to transport a couple of hundred men apiece—they will be constructed to do so. But in the meantime we are lighting a war—which will be considered as old fashioned 30 or 40 years from now as our last great war is considered old fash- )idned today—but nevertheless a war in which the use of warships, great and small, is just as vital as is the use of airplanes, great and small. For were it not for the ARTIE M?GOVERN shipping facilities of the United Nations, the great output of our factories—except for heavy bom bers which can cross the oceans— would obviously remain right here in the United States. And these shipping facilities would just as obviously be next to useless did we not possess the warships with which to protect them. In fact almost the principal dangers which the United Nations face today are that the Axis powers might be able to neutralize our sea supremacy, or capture some of our vital naval bases such as Gibraltar, Pearl Harbor, Mur mansk, Sevastopol or Melbourne. With these bases in the hands of the enemy, our navies would have to operate at a terrific disadvan tage. While “air control” is—as has certainly been proven— a prime essential in a battle or a cam paign, a navy is just as essential •J only for the purpose of getting the planes across vast expanses of ocean to the scene of the fighting. The day will definitely arrivd when great convoys of troops and materials can be better protected by huge air squadrons—which can remain in the air for days at a time—than they can by war ships. The day will even come when all the materials essential to warfare can be carried by air; and when that day arrives, th^ nation which controls the air will surely be the victor in any armeq contest. But every day bringf evidence that we must maintau control of the seas if we expec success in this war; and warshij of all sizes are necessafy for thi£ purpose. —Buy War Savings Bonds— Temper Exercise With Common Sense | If we didn’t keep a watchful eye on them, some of the* :nen and women who come to my gym nasium would wear themselves out during the first week of their courses. Once they have made up their minds to take some sys tematic exercise, they go at it with a rush. They want to make up for lost time and apparently think that five years of idleness can be wiped out in a single les son. If they were to be left alone to go through the strenuous rou tine they might choose for them selves, the majority would be un able to walk on the following day. In your daily exercise at home, you must be careful not to let your enthusiasm run away with your common sense. Muscles that have done little or no work for a long time must be brought back to condition slowly. Take it easy. Keep perfectly relaxed. Four to six counts should be th< limit for each exercise as a start er. Then, as you become more accustomed to the routine you may increase the count and the tempo as well as add new move ments to your routine, a few at f time. You must remember tha’ exercise does not need to be strenuous to be effective. As a matter of fact, quite the op posite is true and it is safe to say that strenuous exercise is dangerous exercise and should always be avoided. Your object is to save your energy, not to squander it. Even though re sults may be slow at first, you should not be discouraged. D always safer and saner to trke too little exercise rather th 5 too much. —Buy War Savings Bond* - ■ ' I DR. HENRY J.
