Question: How can the poultry
man best approach the problem of
securing more eggs from his
flock?
Answer: Foundation of any
good poultry progra mis the kind
of stock purchased. Although
careful feeding and good manage
ment are highly important, they
will not make good layers out of
chicks that do not have good
breeding behind them. With a
heavy demand for chicks antici-

poultrymen would be wise to i
their orders as far in
possible. It should be borne in
mind that cheap chicks are usually
the most expensive in the long run
and that money spent for breeding
quality is an excellent investment.
RED CROSS
Begins November 11th
RED GROSS
"The purpose of the Red Cross
in the field with Lt. General Hugh
A. Drum's First Army is to bolster
the spirit of the men in the Army
by helping them and their immed
iate families over difficulties which
would, unless corrected, affect
them in the pursuit of their jobs
as soldiers." These are the words
f I nt-o Russell, coordinator of
dace ! the Rod Cross field directors in the
advance as I Carolina maneuver area.
Russell, former athletic direc
tor and football coach at Mercer
University in Macon, Ga., is the
coordinator of an organization
which consists of a field director

Question: How can a farmer
best conserve his woodlands?
Answer: There are any number
of things a farmer can do to help
protect the State's timber re
sources. For fuel wood, he should
not cut trees of saw-timber size
and duality, but trees that are
crippled, diseased or otherwise de
fective. Then, too, he should thin
overcrowded stands of young
trees; he should maintain a grow
ing . and by harvesting timber se
lectively; he should utilize all
tic cut; he should prevent forest
fire ; and he should reforest idle
or coded land.
Qvestion: Has the curing of
sweet potatoes with electricity
preved successful in North Caro
lina? Answer: E. D. Jones, rural elec
trification specialist, says farmers
in this and neighboring states us
ing electricity for curing and stor
ing sweet potatoes have found it
economical and satisfactory. It
provides more even distribution of
heat, resulting in a better and
Mioro uniform cure. In addition,
.'i wcr potatoes are lost through
under- and overheating, and space
.ermerly required by the stove is
utilized for storage.
Price Rise Affects
Dairy Feed Budgets
What to feed for economical
milk production?
That question has been asked
by hundreds of dairymen who
have written to State College re
cently, reports Professor R. H.
Ruffner, head of the college's Ani
mal Husbandry Depar t m e n t.
"Dairymen are especially concern
ed over the increase in the price of
cottonseed meal," Ruffner said.
His answer to most inquiries
about a replacement for cotton
seed meal in the dairy ration h:i
been: "All feeds have advanced in
i rice and at the present price lev
el, cottonseed meal furnishes :i
unit of protein in the dairy ration
.1 a lower price than any other
.'eed on the market, with the pos
sible exception of soybean meal
and peanut, meal. Both of the lat
ter products are scarce, however."
Professor Ruffner says that the
uairvman who has corn silage as
the principal roughage may well
use a mixture made up of equal
parts, by weight, or ground ear
corn, wheat bran, and cottonseed
meal. "At the present price," he
leclared, "those three feeds form
he base of the most economical
.ations for dairy cows."
The State College leader says
that a dairyman who has a fairly
good grade of legume hay may use
a ration made up of the following:
100 pounds of ground ear corn,
,'300 pounds of wheat bran, and
300 pounds of cottonseed meal.
The reliable North Carolina 4-3-2-1
dairy ration, which has been
tested at State College for sev
eral years, consists of 400 pounds
of ground ear corn, 300 pounds
of cottonseed meal, 200 pounds of
wheat bran, and 100 pounds of
ground oats. This is also recom
mended by Professor Ruffner as
an economical ration at this time
Local Red Cross Drive
Begins November 11th
Membership drive of the Beau
fort Chapter of the American Rer
Cross will begin on November 11,
it has been announced by Dr. F.
E. Hyde, chairman. Because of
the national emergency now exist
ing and the vast amount of worth
while work that Red Cross is doing,
it is believed that membership this
year will be greatly increased and
the quota raised in a short cam
paign. Announcements of com
mittees assisting in Red Cross Drive
if not announced elsewhere in this
edition, will be announced between
now and next Tuesday the day

is set up in War Department reg

forth their scope and purpose. The
directors themselves are men who
Job Of Red Cross
The jobs done by the Red Cross
to aid service men are many and
varied. If there is distress in a
soldier's family, the Red Cross at
tempts to alleviate it. Mr. Russell
believes that any man who is a
good soldier also thinks enough of
troubled when thiags are not going
his family to become genuinely
well at home. Such cases are al
ways investigated, and if the cas
deserves it, a loan, without inter
est, or in some cases a direct grant,
is made to the soldier's family. In
numerous instances employment
has been found for some member
of a service man's family.
Men in the field are often diffi
cult to locate. To enable a family
to get in touch with a man while
on maneuvers, the Red Cross has
s t up a central message clearance
cent.M-, and this his proved to be
emergency cases when it was im
perative that the soldier be locat
ed. Loans without interest, or out
light grants, are made to soldiers
who are without money and must
go on emergency furloughs be
cause of sickness or death or some
other misfortune in their families.
Often investigations of this sort
are of great value in an entirely
different way. One soldier was
granted a furlough so that he
could convalesce from a long siege
of pneumonia. He wanted money
to co home to Chicago. The inves
tigation showed that the sanitary
condition of the home was not sat
isfactory, that it would hinder
rather than help the man's con
valescence, and, furthermore, that
the father did not want the son at
home. Therefore, the soldier was
sent to Lookout Mountain for two
weeks, his only expenses being his
hotel and food for half price. The
Red Cross made him a loan for
this purpose, to be paid back in
easy monthly installments.
Helping Soldiers
When a soldier is out in the
field on maneuvers and he needs
money to purchase certain things
for purposes of personal hygiene,
the Red Cross is ready to lend or
grant this money. If, for example,
a man breaks his glasses and has
not the money to replace them, the
field director of his unit will ar
range for him to get this money.
Applications for discharge from
the Army because of hardship or
dependency have put still another
task upon the Red Cross. It in
vestigates all such applications and
turns over the information to the
Army without recommendation. At
least fifteen of these cases have
been handled every day by each
field director since the start of the
First Army maneuvers. This, add
ed to about five emergency fur
lough cases a day, plus sundry
other duties such as giving advice
on Govrenment Insurance, solving
business problems, and even, in
some cases, piaymg iupiu, nume
up a full day's work for any one
of the field directors.
Mr. Russell doesn't consider the
problems of the soldiers a great
deal different from those with
which he was confronted when he
was athletic director at Mercer. In
his own words: "They're just fhs
same as a bunch of college boys,
with most of the same problems
and worries." And that is the
spirit with which the Red Cross
organization in the field with the
First Army troops on maneuvers
is conducted. If there is a soldier
with u p.'is. p.al problem, the Red

RALEIGH, Nov. 5. The
State Highway and Public
Works Commission opened
its campaign against adver
tising signs along the high
ways Monday, according to
instructions that had been is
sued to all Division Engi
neers were instructed to com
plete as much of the work as
possible on that day and to
continue it until completed.
The Commission has ruled that
after November 1, 11)41, no ad
vertising signs may be erected or
maintained along any state high
way closer than 50 feet to the
center line of the road. Excepted
from this ordinance are signs
erected beyond the state highway
right-of-way at a place of busi
ness and one sign placed on any
premise advertising it for sale or
advertising for sale products pro
duced thereon.
Advertisers who have lawfully
erected signs on leased property
will have until November 1, 1942
to "relocate or readjust" their
signs to conform with the Com
mission's ordinance. Legal erec
tion of signs means that the prop
erty owner's written consent must
have been secured in advance. Sec
tion 7880 (83), subsection C, of
the North Carolina Code provides
that the owner's permission in
writing must be secured before
any signs can be legally printed,
placed, posted, tacked or affixed
on the property of another. Oral
permission is not recognized by
the law as giving any right for the
erection of advertising signs on
the land of another person. Legal
notices are excepted from this pro
vision. For the present the Highway and
Public Works Commission will con
fine its activities to signs lying be-

yond city limits, but it is expected
that a joint program will be sough:
with officials of various cities for
the removal of signs within their
jurisdiction.
In a letter sent out, this week the
Commission Chairman requested
the cooperation of city officials,
civic clubs, newspapers, advertis
ers, and chambers of commerce in
the sign removal campaign. Ii
was pointed out that signs are be
lieved to be directly related to
traffic accidents in that they dis
tract the attention of the drivers
and minimize the effectiveness of
highway signs through which it is
sought to inform drivers of road
and traffic conditions. Enclosed
with the letter was a copy of the
Commission's ordinance.
The Division Engineer will di
rect the campaign in his division.
Helping him will be district engi
neers and others working under
them. According to instructions
issued by the Highway and Public
Works Commission, all signs of
little value, including those tacked
on trees, posts, etc., will be load
ed and brought to a designated
place in orde rthat owners may
secure them. "Signs having any
value," the instructions say,
"should be taken down with as
much care as possible so as not to
damage them, and any of those re
moved having any substantial
value should be laid on the ground
back of the 50-foot line near the
point where they are taken up."
If there is any doubt as to
whether or not a particular sign
comes within the scope of the
Commission's ordinance, removal
crews have been told to leave it in
place until this information is def
initely known. In cases of doubt
as to sign's status, it is to be listed
so that it can be located easily
when its status under the ordin
ance is cleared up.
Removal crews have been in
structed not to molest signs on

BRITAIN NEEDS FOOD,
EXTENSION FOLKS TOLD
"Every boat load of food that
the United States sends to Great
Britain reduces the time that will
elapse before the democracies of
the world tiiumnh over Hitlerism,"
Paul H. Appleby, undersecretary
of agriculture in ashington, tola
the 400 Extension Service work
ers in convention at State College
in Raleigh this week.
Appleby was one of the princi
pal speakers at the conference of
all county farm and home agents,
assistant agents, and Extension
specialists and administra t i v e
leaders. He gave a report on his
recent trip to England as a repre
sentative of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, upon the invitation
of the British government.
"The United States has been
called upon to feed 25 percent of
the British people or about 10
million persons this winter and
throughout 1942," Appleby de
clared. "Food is extremely short
in England, but our ships are
reaching the other side of the
ocetn and conditions are constant
ly improving," he continued.
The Government afficial said
that he lost eight pounds, and his
companion on the trip, R. M.
Evans, National AAA administra
tor, lost 10 pounds, during the
four weeks they were in England
r.nu the two weeks they spent in
Portugal. He said they each had
