Farmers Urged To Produce More Chickens And Eggs Because of increased needs for eggs and poultry products to augment the nation's supply of meat, farmers of Macon county are urged to raise more , boiler and roaster chickens this i year and to obtain chicks early so as to have more pullets i ready for fall and winter lay ing, according to Mr. Robert Fulton, chairman Macon county j AAA Committee, "Broilers and roasters are needed to add to the Nation's meat supply during the coming year," he said. "Producers with brooder space not needed for laying flock replacements would do well to use the extra space for broilers and roasters'. The resulting addition to the meat supply will come during the sea son's low point for other meats." ? "Present, indications are that total meat supplies to be avail able during the first half of this year will be at a yearly rate of about 125 .pounds per capita, compared with an an- | nual rate of 150 pounds per person available during the first half of 1944," he stated. J "The nation's requirements for eggs can be met by normal production from the hens on farms on January 1, 1945," he said. "Poultry producers are being encouraged to cull nor mally, but not excessively, to keep up laying efficiency. Pro duction of chicks for flock re placements should be about the same as last year and getting chicks early will assure more pullets ready for fall and win ter laying. Any chickens raised and not needed ' for flock re placements should find a ready market for meat." he added. Chairman Fulton said the general feed picture indicates that the supply of corn and oats, important ingredients in mixed feeds, will be about one fourth greater than 1944. For the nation as a whole, there is expected to be about 14 per cent less livestock than last year, mainly hogs and poultry, "With prospects for consider ably more feed per animal unit, there is no need this year to limit poultry or egg produc tion in order to conserve na tional feed supplies," he con cluded. Logging Added To Urgency List "Logging ? including the cut ting of pulpwood and the haul ing of logs from forest to mill" has been added to the National Production Urgency List as of March 9 by the Production Ex ecutive Committee. Logging and lumber produc tion has been included on the original list, but were omitted when that list was scrapped last fall and the present list compiled, which was restricted to direct military supplies. Ad dition of logging to the list was effected by representations of the Lumber & Lumber Products Division of the War Production Board to the committee. National Production Urgency List ratings play an important part in determining manpower priorities by the War Manpow er Commission.

System Awarded Merit Certificate The Southern Railway Sys tem has again been awarded the certificate of merit given by "Wartime Advertising Awards" for a newspaper ad vertising campaign "contribut ing to the welfare, security and activity of the ' nation at war." The Southern received a sim ilar award in March, 1944. In this connection two of the Southern's newspaper advertise ments were selected to be in cluded in "the hundred out standing wartime advertise ments of 1944" by the Jury of Awards. They are the advertise ments headed, "There's a Fight ing Fleet, too" and "The Boss " Signed by Ernest E. Norris, president of the Southern, the prize - winning advertisements emphasize the contribution rail way employes are making to the war effort by their devotion to their jobs ? thus speeding the day of victory by "keeping the wheels rolling under the most important transportation load in all the long history of the "Southern." Mr. Norris explains in one of the prize-winning advertise ments that the Southern's "fighting fleet#'' of freight trains are loaded with guns, jeeps, tanks, planes, and muni tions of every sort; with the raw materials to make more; with food, clothes, coal and oil; with everything needed by a nation at war. "Our 'fleets' of passenger trains are carrying troops in solid trainloads toward the war fronts; men and women in uni form going back home on prec ious furlough trips; and gov ernment officials and civilians traveling on essential war busi ness," he adds. "Our No. 1 job is to help feed and clothe and arm and transport 'The Boss' ? Americca's fighting forces," Mr. Norris states in the other prize-win ning advertisement. "And the 50,000 men and women of the Southern Railway System are proudly doing this job. They're doing it right too, for we know what 'The Boss' is doing for us." i Lawyers Will Furnish Legal Assistance Marking the second anniver sary of legal aid for soldiers and their dependents. Major General Frederick E. Uhl, com manding general of the Fourth Service Command, this week sent a letter of appreciation to John S. Bradway, of Durham, chairman of the North Caro lina Bar Association's commit tee on war work. The program began March 16, 1943. Pointing out that morale is all-important, even in a highly mechanized war, General Uhl congratulated the state's law ,yers for their contribution to soldiers' peace of mind. Under the Army's Legal assistance plan volunteer lawyers nominated by State Bar Associations visit posts for consulation with mil itary personnel and on request also represent them in court. The complete text of General Uhl's letter follows: "Modern war is often termed a war of machines. But an army is more than machines; it is men. And a cardinal factor in the success of men is morale, and not the least is relief from concern over personal and fam ily affairs." "The lawyers of America, co operating with the legal assis tance officers of the Army, are rendering a service of inesti matable value to the man of our fighting forces in helping to relieve them, of concern over their personal affairs and the affairs of their dependents. This service of the American Bar is a direct contribution to the suc cessful prosecution of the war." "The legal assistance plan, sponsored jointly by the War Department and the American Bar Association, came into be ing on March 16, 1943. It will have its second anniversary soon; and I am happy to con gratulate your state bar asso ciation, the local association throughout the state, and their members for their part- in fur thering the legal assistance pro gram, and as Commanding General of the Fourth Service Command, to express my per sonal appreciation for their ef forts on behalf of the military personnel under my command and the fighting men who are served by them." compiled by the Production Ex ecutive Committee which com prises representatives of all the military services and civilian war agencies. The list is also used as an unofficial criterion by WPB. OPA, and other agen cies to determine which activ ities are considered most im portant by the military. Inclu sion of logging, therefore, should assist logging operators not only In obtaining labor refer rals, but also in procuring trucks, tractors, tires, and oth er needed equipment. WJ CAN MCLP MING County Endorse Rat Killing Campaign It has been brought to our attention that the Vocational Department and the Extension Service plan to conduct a rat killing campaign. Standing alone as the most destructive animal economical menace to the public health is the common rat. Of all pests, therefore, the rat is the one above all others that should be kept under strict control. Al though it "is obviously impos sible to count all rats, rough estimates of the number of rats in Macon county is made possible by the many available statistics and local observations on their abundance. They sub sist largely upon food produc ed by man and are consequent ly most abundant where, food and feed is raised and stored in greatest quantity. Their num ber, therefore, can be expected to be more or less proportion ate to the number of people and livestock. In estimating the loss charg able to rats one must take in to consideration not only the food they consume and waste but also the other property they destroy. The destruction of harness and leather goods, the undermining of buildings, the destruction of fruits and veg etables. The Macon County Board of Commissioners do hereby en dorse this rat killing campaign. We do also recommend and encourage the farmers of Ma con county to take advantage of the opportunity to cut down their losses by this pest. Macon County Board of Commissioners. Gus Leach, Chairman. State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. How can X get rid of chicken mites? A. Spray the woodwork and perch poles with a solution of equal parts of used motor _ oil and kerosene, or some commer cial preparation developed for this purpose, says Prof. Roy Dearstyne of State college. He points out that mites may live for several months without food. They also hide in the cracks and crevices of the house during the daytime, especially on the under side of the perch poles, on dropping boards, and in the side walls. Mite eggs hatch in about two days dur ing warm weather and hence many generations may be de veloped in a short time. Mite or lice infestations may . ser iously retard egg production, even though other factors of poultry management are good. Q. What is the best method of growing a year-round gar den? A. Get a garden planting schedule, such as that shown in War Series Bulletin No. 14, from the Extension Service at N. C. State College and plan exactly where you will plant your crops. The horticulturists explain that you will need to make several plantings so that you can enjoy fresh, young veg etables over a considerable pe riod of time. As soon as one crop is out of the way, another can be planted. Most gardeners fall down by not planning for a fall and winter garden. Q. What is the best variety of soybeans for grazing hogs? A. Biloxi, Tokyo, and Woods Yellow are the favorite varie ties. The beans should be plant ed in rows about two feet apart and should be cultivated about twice to keep down weeds and grass. An application of ferti lizer gives earlier grazing and mere grazing per acre. An acre of soybeans, planted In early April, will generally furnish grazing for a litter of pigs from late June until fall, and then they can be put on lespe deza. Be sure and supply a min eral mixture. SHE ALSO SERVES Before the war Mrs. J. J. Jones, a Marshall, Ark., house wife, spent her time running her modern farm home. Since then Mrs. Jones, who was born in the Philippines, has used her homemaking skills to raise money for the American Red Cross. In all she has turned over to the Red Cross nearly $1,000 raised from the sale to her neighbors of homemade popcorn balls, cakes, bed quilts and other products.

M29 ? 6tp Chinch Bug Threat To 1945 Corn Crop Chinch bugs, found first in Pitt and Mecklenburg counties, in 1943, spread to 25 counties in North Carolina last year and may cause exceptionally large damage this year to the corn crops grown near small grains, if weather conditions are fav orable for the spread of the insect pest. Thirty thousand pounds of Dinitro dust was used last year by 392 farmers in fighting the chinch bug on 4,698 acres of corn valued at $147,000, accord ing to J. Myron Maxwell, Ex tension entomologist at State college. Losses to small grains and corn from over-wintering bugs were estimated at about $70,000 while the nymphs of the first generation bugs attacked about 14,000 acres of corn with a loss of about $309,000. When Maxwell was asked how much damage the chinch bug would probably cause in North Carolina this year, he parried the question by saying that he could better answer it along in April when the bugs begin to put in their appearance. He estimates that growers will probably need about 100,000 pounds of the dinitro dust this year to protect their corn with a barrier established between the grain and the corn When the bug touches this lust, he immediately dies on contact with It. Some farmers conducted out standing demonstrations as to the value of the Dinitro dust last year. Where a corn joined ACCIDENT PRECAUTION In Milwaukee County, Wis., the police are teaching Red Cross first aid to eighth grade students in all rural schools. And Sheriff Joseph J. Shlnners reports that among those who have had this training the ac cident rate, at home and around the schools, has showed a marked decrease. All 53 motorcycle patrol of ficers of the County Sheriff's department are first aid in structors, and during the past year 24 of them conducted 32 llrst aid courses in the schools. Pacific Northwest saw timber now standing is enough to re build all of America's 37,000,000 homes? and it grew without benefit of vitamin pills. "Do you know where bad little girls go to ?" asked the mother. "Oh year," replied the daugh ter, "they go almost every where." "Darling, I'm groping for words to express my love for you." "Well, do you think I have part of the dictionary tattooed on me ?" a small grain crop, the grower established a barrier of the dust one inch wide and one-fourth inch deep between the first and second rows of corn. The first row of corn was destroyed by the bugs while the remainder of the field made a full crop. PRESS ADS PAY WANTED TIMBER CUTTERS HAVE GOOD PROPOSITION FOR GOOD TIMBER CUTTERS.
