The j>eacefli$7 Wtle m^ataln
eojnmunity ol‘ Stony Fork,' Just
beyond the weatem bounds of
Wilkes In Watauga- county, felt
the full force of the disastrous
flood on Tuesday night last week
and had a heavier casualty list
than any other community In the
four states visited by the most
disastrous flood In their history.
The Uttie community counted
seven killed .by slldee and
washed away by the torrential
waters of litUe Stony Fork Creek
just below its headwaters at
Deep Gap.
The slides hit suddenly and
without warning, but when once
started made a continuous noise
which rivaled that of thunder In
close proximity and the tumult
ous noise kept up for several min
utes, local residents said.
The slide which killed four,
swept away two residences and
a service statl9n, (ttegan near the
summit ot a spur of Tompkins
Knob and sped down the steep In- '
dine toward Stony Fork Creek.

traffic restored to a semblance of

While the many thousands were
here viewing flood damage, many
local residents had gone to other
parts of the state to see what the
flood had done elsewhere.

• A full discussion of germicidal
substances In the prevention and
i control of poultry diseases and
parasite Infestations Is contained
in the Circular No. 241. The poul-
trymen recommend, however, that
sunlight, burning and boiling are
ithe most satisfactory disinfect
ants when they can be used con
veniently.
The small grain publication
points out that oats, wheat, rye,
and barley umally make better
yields In the Coastal Plains than

Imont and Mountain sections.
