CULL POULTRY NOW All Boarder Hens Should Be Put On The .Market. Much progress has been made in recent years in in creasing the average egg pro duction per hen in North Caro lina. Much more improvement can and is being made by close ly culling the layers during the summer months. All |>oor lay ers should be taken out of the flocks now to make room for the glowing pullets.

Those who do not under stand the art of culling the hens from the standpoint oti production may arrange for a poultry culling demonstration in their community. As Coun ty Agent, will be glad to give these demonstrations in so far as possible wherever desired. I am a poultry fancier and breeder and have had consider able experience in the culling and management of poultry flocks. Farmers should feel free to ask me for advice on any farm problems. There is room for considerable improve ment in the poultry flocks of Stokes county. Let us start a campaign for improvement now with a rigid culling of loafing hens. J. E. TREYIATHAN.

Raleigh, Aug. 4.—For the dual purpose of organization and consideration of the prob lems that have developed from the new Australian ballot law'- requirement of voting booths. Judge Crawford Biggs, chair man. has called a meeting of the State Board of Elections for next Thursday. The five members of the board, three Democrats and two Republi cans, are to meet here at noon. We will probably not take any official action about the voting booths, but rather dis cuss in what ways we can be of assistance to the local officials who are required to purchase them" said Judge Biggs. He added that he has received a number of requests for infor mation 011 the subject. Wholesale purchases of the regulation voting booths, per haps through the State Board of Elections, might prove a practical and considerable sav ing to the counties and cities of the Slate, said .Judge Biggs. Another problem that will be discussed will be the matter of duplication. The law requires that there he a booth for every 10U voters in a precinct in all elections. "But it would be foolish for a city to buy fifty booths for use here in munici pal elections and for the coun ty to come along and buy fifty more for use in the same city," said Judge Biggs. He hopes the board might be of assist ance to towns and counties in working out some method of co-operative purchase.
