Beerkens Tells
NCEA Differences
In Educations
The vitality and practical sense
applied to American Schools and
universities may be of far greater
value than all the traditions sur
rounding European institutions of
learning. Arnold Beerkens of Hol
land and local lumber business
man. told the Murphy Chapter of
the North Carolina Education As
sociation.
Mr. Beerkens spoke during a
meeting of NCEA last Thursday
night at the Regal Hotel.
He asserted that the American
schools are not necessarily better
than the ones in Europe but the
vitality and practical sense had
more value than tradition.
Mr. Beerkens pointed out that
although Europeans boast of the
oldest universities and classic
schools, all Nobel prizes went this
year to Americans except the prize
for literature.
Last year, he said, the literature
prize award went to an American,
William Faulkner.
Mr Beerkens pointed out the
differences in the education sys
tems in Holland and America.
However, he asserted, the differ
ences are in detail only. In Ameri
ca the student gets more practical
knowledge while the European
student is given a more basic
knowledge, h^ concluded.
Extension Service Says
Order Chicks Early
"A hen that lays just two eggs
more than another hen is worth |
10 cents more as a baby chick,"!
T. B. Morris, poultry specialist [
for the State College Extension
Serviqp, said.
Morris pointed out that poultry
raisers should place chick orders
now to insure getting the kind of
chicks they want.
"Breeding is the most import
and factor In buying chicks,' the
specialist asserted. "The best
care and the best feeding will not
make good layers out of poor
breeding stock. On the other hand
the very best layers will not show
a profit under poor management.
"T h e market egg producer
should always buy chicks that have
been bred for egg production."
Under present condition, a hen
must lay about ISO eggs to pay the
feed bill, housing cost, equipment,
and other expenses. It takes at
least 100 eggs just to pay the feed
bill for the average laying hen.
"Good labor returns can be ex
pected from flocks that lay 200 or
more eggs per bird," according to
Morris.
Because of rapid picking and
ginning, cotton is turning out
much better than expected.
Prices received by farmers in
1932 are averaging 3 per cent be
low those received In 1951.
