Don't forget that chickens do not like to stay in dirty houses and the danger of diseases is greater in dirty houses. Sanita tion goes a long ways toward healthy poultry. Clean fresh wa ter should be given them at least three times a day. I Watch out for chlckefi pox and other diseases. Not much damage will t>e done if treatment is start ed as soon as .pox shows up on the first few birds. If only a few birds show symptoms of the dis ease, isolate them using carbolat ed vaseline on the lesions on the j head parts and dampen their grain with codllver oil or some j other fish oil. Poultry Raising And Tobacco Farming Work Well Together Extension Authority Views Commercial Eroilsr Pro duction As Income Possi bility BY C. F. PARRISH (In Charge, Poultry Extension) North Carolina has long been praised for the fine tobacco pro duced. At the same time, our agricultural leaders have con stantly pointed out the need for more cash crops or for an ex pansion in cash income for the average tobacco farmer. This plea to balance production or to have more than one source of cash income is made in anticipa | tion of a bad crop year. This is sound advice and should be heed Sell Your Tobacco In Tabor City AND LET US HELP YOU SAVE YOUR CAR We have expert mech anics, up-to-date tools and equipment and an ample stock of genuine Chevrolet parts. GOME IN NOW PRINCE MOTOR CO-Inc. Tabor City, N. G. Loris, S. G. ed now. One means by which cash in come cculd be increased and which farmers would do well to serioutiy consider is commercial poultry production. In many cas es, the tobacco farmers have the necessary buildings already on hand to handle broilers cn a semi-commercial or commercial scale. Many of these buildings at the present time arc used for sixty days or less during the year. Why not use them for eleven months instead of two months. For example, the average tobacco barn with only a few minor changes could be readily converted into an ideal brooder house that would accommodate 400 day-old baby chicks. This change would necessitate the placing of planks or builders pa per on the lcfA'er row of tier poles so as to form a lower ceiling in the barn. These planks should not be nallejj but should be laid upon the tier poles to form a false ceiling in order to conserve on fuel used in heating the build-! ing and to prevent dust from ris-j ing to the top of the barn. A door covered with some glass substi- > tute could be used in place of; the present door to admit light | into the barn. Two lanterns or j electric lights will supply suffi-' cient lights for the chicks at night. The tobacco barn could be used , for three different broods of j chicks each year. It would nor mally require ' around eleven to twelve weeks to brood chicks to j desirable broiler or fryer size. In j other words, each tobacco barn1 could be used for brooding chicks nine months in the year and could' be made to produce $1,000 to 1, 200 of poultry meat based on the present prices of broilers. This would greatly supplement the income of many farmers. The need for more poultry meat is evidenced by the fact that we would have to expand our produc tion by 15 per cent or 20 per cent in order to supply anough poul try meat (including turkey meat) to meet the needs for a mini mum diet of 31 pounds of poul try meat per person in North Carolina -each year. Many broilers now being consumed by Eastern North Carolina farmers are pro duced and processed in Piedmont North Carolina. Markets and pro cessing facilities are available nearby. We urge that the tobacco farm ers seriously consider broiler pro duction or commercial egg pro duction as a means of increasing their cash income.

Hov/ Cigarettes Got Their Start Old Story Says Stray Shot During Battle Blew Gun-1 ner's Pipe To Pieces During- some fighting between | the Turks and the Egyptians, a j stray shot blew a gunner's pipe | to pieces. Just, as we at the present day I long for a smoke, the gunner .yearned for a pull. He had an idea, and sighting some paper [close by, he picked it up, and tearing off a piece, he made aj tube of it, pushed some tobacco j in, and pressed it tight. He then put it in his mouth I and lit the first cigarette. Cigarette smoking became very! popular in Russia, where in 1850, j the first large ciragette factory, was started in St. Petersburg. | Nicholas Covendouris, a Greek merchant, is regarded as being the first person to introduce cig arettes into England in 1858. A Greek also opened the first smoke shop in England, uuoul I860, in London's Leicester Square.
