POULTRY QUESTION j
When should breeding hens he selected
for next year's flock ?
Answer: Birds that molt in late fall
or early winter are always the best
producers and breeding hens should 1
be selected from them. The flock
should bo watched carefully through '
August and early September and
those birds that go Into a molt should 1
be sold. The late moulters will come '
back into production in a short pc- '
l'iod and will pass on this producing
quality to their offsprings.

In sad but !oyin?_jT5Ri!?Tiibranco of '
my beloved son, Glenn R. Wyke, who
depm-Leu tills life August 11, 1032,
I am sad within my memory,
Lonely is my heart today

When others are asleep.

Chevrolet Dealers
Return from Meeting
Mr. W. R. Winkler of the W. R.
Chevrolet Company have returned
from Charlotte where he and members
of his sellinb staff have been
attending a special mass meeting in
connection with the "Ride America"
demonstration campaign which the
Chevrolet Motor Company is staging
[luring the month of August.
Plans for demonstrating the performance
and exceptional riding qualities
of the 1935 Chevrolet to millions
of potential buyers were outlined
at the meeting by Mr. R. C. Atkinson,
sales promotion manager. By
maintenance of peak production in
the Chevrolet plants, deliveries can
now be made more promptly than at
any time heretofore this year, it was
announced at the meeting.
"The assurance of prompt deliveries,"
said Mr. Winkler, "was certainly
good news to us. As any model
can now be obtained without delay,
it is a logical time to put on a real
demonstration drive. A ride in a Chevrolet
is a revelation in smoothness,
comfort, ease of control, and an experience
which no one considering a
car can afford to miss Add to this
the economy and durability which
sur owners find so gratifying this
year, and you have the explanation
Df the shortage which is only now beginning
to abate."
Accompanying mr. V'? inkier wcrOj
L. L,. Bingham and C. H. Blackburn,
members of his sales organisation,
who will aid him in the local staging
of the "Ride America" demonstration
campaign.
Mr. Winkler also says that business
conditions in and around Boone are
the best in years. Deliveries for the
month of July were the greatest since
the opening of this dealership.

WATAUGA DEMOCRAT?EVER
SENATOR GRIFFIN
SUCCEEDS MARTIN
Former Secretary of State School
CnminkKinn A m-onfn Po^Itinn
With Wachovia Bank.
RALiEIGH, N. C.?Senator Lloyd
E. Griffin, Edenton, chairman of the
Senate Education Committee of the
recent General Assembly, was elected
last week as executive secretary
lof the State School Commission to
succeed LeRoy Martin, who resigned,
effective September 1st, to accept a
i position in the trust department of
the Wachovia Bank and Trust Company,
Winston-Salem. Governor Ehring'naus,
who has known of Mr. Martin's
expected resignation for some
time, selected Senator Griffin, persuaded
him to take the place, and
had the salary raised to 54,750 a year
so it would be sufficiently attractive
for him to accept it. The commission
elected the man selected by Governor
Ehringhaus.
Mr. Martin has served as secretary
of the commission since it was formed
eight years ago as the State Board
of Equalization, when it handled only
53,250,000 a year as an equalizing
fund. It now operates the entire
school system at a cost the coming
year of $20,03.1,000. Meanwhile, he
has served as principal clerk of the
State Senate each two years. It was ,
with deep and sincere expressions of '
regret that the commission accepted
his resignation. He is a native of
Yadkin County, a graduate of Wake ]
Forest College, dnd secured license '
to practice law in 1929.
The resignation and filling the
place came so suddenly it is hard to
get expressions of views on it. However,
it is believed that school peo- :
pie would have favored turning the
secretaryship over to State Superintendent
Clyde A. Erwin, or if not \
that, then naming Claude F. Gaddy, '
who has been in charge of the bus
transportation for several years and
served as acting secretary during the r
last legislative session or two. Dr.
Ralph MacDonald, Forsyth represen- 1
tative, sent a message protesting the
selection of Senator Griffin.
Governor Ehringhaus, accompanied
by Mrs. Ehringhaus, Mrs. Rush Jol- 1
ly. their daughter, and son. liluchcr
Jr., left Friday on a motor trip to "
Canada, going north by way of the Shenandoah
Valley, New York and
Buffalo, and will return by way of
New York. They expect to be gone
the rest of August or longer. Nissen
Aldridgc, chauffeur, is driving the
car. Meanwhile, Charles G. Fowell,
the Governor's private secretary, will
hold down the Governor's office and
will keep in pretty close touch with
the Governor by telephone. .' ' -! t
How much legume hay should be
provided for each mature cow In my
herd ?
Answer: Under average conditions
in this State, two tons of legume hay
will be sufficient for feeding during
the winter months. Where there is a
shortage of succulent roughage, this
amount should he increased. With
plenty of common roughage such as
grass hay and straw from threshed
grain and a good supplw of silage the
figure given will be ample.
