Easterling of Ellerbe, Richmond County, doesn’t believe in doing things half way. He carries this philosophy right along with new enterprises. “If you plan to make money out of broil ers, it is best to build a good house and raise a lot of birds,” he says. Negro County Agent S. N. Shel ton says that Easterling sold his first batch of birds recently. The “batch” consisted of 5,880 broil ers that averaged 3% pounds in 10 weeks. Shelton says that Easterling put 6,125 birds in a house that was con structed by State College recom mendations. The house has auto matic drinking fountains, ridge ventilators, thermostatically con trolled heat, and electric lights. The house also has a special alum inum roof that conserves heat in the winter and repels the sun rays in the hot summer, making the building cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Easterling says, “It costs a lit tle more to build a house like I have, but it pays off by lowering the mortality rate, and facilitates the caring for the birds.” Shelton says that Easterling made some mistakes such as put ting too much feed in the hoppers. But despite his mistakes, he man aged to make a profit on his first batch. He says, “I’m in the poul try business to stay.” Day Old Chicks Need "Best Foot Forward" A day-old baby chick requires about as much attention of its care taker as a newborn baby, accord ing to W. G. Andrews, State Col lege extension poultry specialist. Andrews says that in order to set its best foot forward in life, a baby chick must be properly nour ished, along with having many other comforts.

Local Actors Perform In Little Theatre Play Harold Ray Brown and Scotte Brown will go on stage when “Green Grow the Lilacs” opens at the Raleigh Summer Theatre Tues day, July 10, according to Director Dick Snavely. The show promises to be the “biggest” production ever attempt ed by the summer theatre. It is big both in the number of people on stage as well as the costuming and the music. Written by Lynn Riggs, “Green Grow the Lilacs” is the folk-play upon which the very successful musical “Okla homa!” was based. ' The author has pointed out that the play might have been subtitled an old song . The intent has been solely to recapture in a kind of nostalgic glow the range and mood which characterized the old folk songs and ballads that he heard during his Oklahoma child hood. Harold and Scotte will take the roles of farmers in the early days of Indian Territory, which later became Oklahoma, in 1900 and will also participate in the chorus and square dancing scenes. The play will be given nightly through Saturday, July 10. In case of rain, performances will be re sumed the next clear night. There will be no reserved seats.
