Increased Interest In Poultry Raising Because of the meat ration ing, the American people are becoming more interested in poultry raising.

Poultry subjects were among the top requests during seven months out of twelve, accord ing to Robert B. Child, in I charge of programs. WGY agri- ! Cultural broadcasting. Every year several thousand requests are received by WGY, asking for booklets offered over the station's two agricultural programs, the daily Farm Paper of the Air and the Weekly Farm Forum.

F. "Chic" Par * rish, in charge of Extension poultry work at State College. He suggests that the range shelter be made about 9 by 10 I feet to accommodate 100 pul- ' lets. It should be built on skids so that it can be moved to a j new location about once a I Graduation Class of Franklin High School, 1944-1945 First row left "to right: Lois Howard, Helen Gibson, Frances Baughn, Ca olyn Leach, Dorothy Jean Rogers, Carolyn Long Violet Barnard Arthur Proctor Lee Roy Roper, Beatrice Ramsey, Grace Younce, Eva Nell Clarke, Betty Gregory, Dorothy Corbin, Catherine Pipes, Jennieve' Mason Edna Jennings Dowdle' 1 Annie Burr Huggins, Ava Nell Ray, Fae Ammons. and Mildred Shuler.

New fats and oil quotas for household bar and package soaps and for industrial soaps have been reduced. This means to save more salvage fat in the kitchen month or whenever the pullets eat all of the green feed near them. Soybeans and corn with about 300 or 400 pounds of Jcomplete fertilizer per acre and no chick en manure will provide excel lent grazing. This is also true with lespedeza and alfalfa, where the lespedeza was killed j by the freeze, beans and corn can be planted. The average farmer or poul tryman, for that matter, can just about double the water and feed hopper space that he fig ures to be sufficient for his flock and find it a paying in vestment, Parrish says. Chick ens make relatively fast growth and they respond quickly to plenty of feed and water. Parrish especially recommends the outdoor feed hopper Which is described on Page 8 of War Series Extension?Bulletin No. 5, entitled "Equipment for Poul try." This hopper keeps out the rain and the sun from the feed. A free copy of the publication ; may be obtained by writing the 1 Agricultural Editor, State Col- 1 lege, Raleigh.

SPECIAL ATTENTION GIVEN TO SCHOOL CHILDREN 1 Nitrogen Produces Large Corn Yields New methods for increasing corn yields in North Carolina are being tested by a large ? number of growers this year and the use of large amounts of nitrogen per acre, when the corn is about knee high, is one of the most important points in the plan. State College agronomists of both the Agricultural Experi ment Station and Extension Service call special attention to the five steps in increasing corn yields. These five steps are the use of a proven local variety or an. adapted hybrid; adapting the fertilizer to suit the soil conditions; providing enough plants to produce desired yields; avoiding late, deep cultivation, where possible; and varying the topdresser with soil fertility and expected yield increases. For yields up to 50 bushels per acre, 6,000 plants per acre are needed; for 50 to 75 bush els, 7,200 plants; and for 75 to ?EXECUTRIX NOTICE Having qualified as executrix of C. T.
