That "It s always darkest before | the dawn", is an axiom which is high ly applicable to the poultry business, j for, records of the last thirty years show, it is an almost invariable rule that after each period of depression, egg and poultry meat prices go high er than before and remain higher. j Thi* is one of the resaons why lead er/ in the industry are urging poul try men to stick by their flocks and | I not be stampeded by the low prices! of this winter. There has already been a turn for the better in the business, it is point -1 out. As the result of a national advertising campaign, promoting the eating of eggs, sponsored by the In ternational Baby Chick Association and participated in by all branches i of the industry, last Fall's surplus of more than 2,000,000 cases of eggs has been cleared away. Egg prices now ar<* showing a gradual upward | trend. Hi-tody is repeating itself in that the poultry industry is among the first to start to climb out of the slough of depression. Farmers who raise poultry as a {sideline and full-time poultrymen will enjoy n highly profitable 1931 season, if they make arrangements now for the business of the coming Fall and Winter. Low prices of tin present winter and intcsive advertis ing on the part of the poultry inter ests have made the American public "egg conscious" to such an extent | that they are "ow consuming more of ; this product than ever before. T.ead- 1 ers in the industry declare that this recently cultivated egg and poultry eating habit on the part of the pub- j lie spells a highly prosperous season for the poultryman or farmer who increases his flock of birds to the limit of his farm's capacity. One of the best ways of increasing the farm flock at the present time is i to replace the old birds with vigor- | ohs youngsters fresh from a reliable hatchery, poultry authorities are au- | vising. Experience has shown that j only from stock of good egg-laying ! propensities can maximum profits be j expected. Through cooperation of j the leading hatcheries of the United States, it is possible for the farmer or poultryman to rai-e the quality SHOAI. CREEK ROAD PUT ON STATE SYSTEM Strikeleather Induces State To Take Over Fifteen Mile* In Cherokee Kiffhtinsr i?irainst considerable op position at the next to the last meet Iintf of the present Stale highway commission in Kaleigh last Thursday James G ^trikeleather, ninth dis trict commissioner, succeeded in put ting fifteen mile5 of road in Chero kee county on the State system for maintenance, according to news dis : atches carried in the Ashevi]!c daily press. This is part of 121 mile- put on ? he state system in western North Carolina. The dispatch does rot spe cifically state that the road in Cher okee county i*- Shoal Creek road, hut ! it is believed this is the road men I tinned. The news dispatch with reference | to the road is as follows: "Fifteen miles of road l?etween Hjjhway No. 28 in Cherokee county { ti? tin* Tennessee line." In the absence to verification as to whether thi-" road is Shoal Creek hinhway. road enthusiasts j,he county believe that it is oal ("reek, as it i> about fifteen miles from where it intersects with No. 28 to the Tennessee Tne. Felix- Hill, member of Cherokee County Highway Commission, and ?ther road enthusiasts of Shoal Creek township, have been working for onie time to get tht. State to take over thir- route foi maintenance. . Several months ago ti.? county hurh way commission passed a resolution j asking the State to take over the i road, and it is pointed out that no 'other road in CUyrokee county t?> the ? Tennessee line from No. 2S is likely j to have been considered. o International Canning Contest Is Started Aurora, 111., March 17. ? Word has [just been received from Grace Vialt Gray that the International Canning Contest has started. Mrs. Gray, who is acting as secretary of the contest, writes that the conte-t is to be held at the I.oir Cabin in Centra] State Fair and Exposition Grounds, Aurora Ml. This contest is open to all women I and girls in t h?. world. ! The contest is held for many reas ons. One purpose is to find the best jars of home canned products. An other object is to teach the value of j thrift by conserving* home canned products. The third reason. and po*? i sibly the one that will appeal to most women, is t?? find a market for home canned delicacies, such as peach pick les. watermelon rind pickles, jellies, marmalades, fruit butters, and pre serves. There is no reason why Cherokee county should not be the champion home canning county in the- world. That high honor carries with it a county prize which is given to the county entering the largest number of jars. Knowing how many good home canners there are in this coun ty, there is no reason why it should not be put on the map in a big way. In addition, there are wonderful cash pizes for the women and girls whose products are judged among the prize winning jars in the con tent. There are three classes to en ter ? Individual -lar ('lass, Fancy Pack Class, and Balanced Meal Class. I There are special prizes for each class There is no entry fee and no red ? tape to enter this contest. All that a woman or yirl in this county needs I to do to get started is to phone or write R. W. Gray, County Extension Agent. Kach contestant will receive one free Ball Mason jar together [ with nocessary labels and canning ! nstructions. The Ball mason j;.r is the official jar of the contest and all products must be submitted in this ar. This is necessary so that r.11 entries will be uniform in tvtry re spect. Contestants are free t use any method of canning they prefer. For further information g< t in touch with R. W. Gray or write o rect to Grace Viall Gray, Log Cabin. Aurora. Illinois. The many * riends ot Mrs. J. V* . Bailey will regret to hear that she was carried to Biltnw.re Hospital at heville Thursday ior Treatment. of his flock and increase his profi'.s. These hatcheries, united under the slogan '"Hatchery Chicks for Greater Profits'', i?re pledged to the produc tion of chicks of pock* egg-laying strains, which assure the poultry raiser of a gooi return on hi*- in vestment.
