Interesting Facts Taken From
Annual Report of S. P. Library
At timoa during the year North
■Carolina expctienros a siirp’ais of
•poultry and eggs, yet there is gen
erally a ileficienry of high quality
poultry products most of the year.
W'c need fewer poorly fed, mixed.
Torccd or purebred chickens that are
light in weight, poorly feathered,
scaly-legged and with bumble feel;
and need more purebred poultry that
is well fed, soft nieated, heavy, uni
formly colored, and of high market
■value. We need fewer mixed.colored
and of high quality oggs^ fewer dirty,
low qualtiy mixed size eggs, and
more of high quality, strictly fresh
graded eggs. 'There are some light
weight, poor quality chickens going-
T>n the market that should be de
stroyed rather than sold for food.
There are as many cull eggs reaching
the market that should be used at
home instead of being sold. It is
easier to prevent a large percent of
the eggs from getting dirty than it
la to clean them, but if a few are
dirty they should be cleaned before
they are marketed.
Which market aie you producing
•poultry and eggs for? One is bur.
dened with low quality products; the
other usually has a sm.ill ."iupply but
■a strong demand. Why not join the
few that are furnishing renl high
•quality poultry and fresh clean gra
ced eggs? You’ll have less market
ing competition.
Shift to Poultry Farming Gradually
Prices and restricted cotton and
tobacco acreage in North Carolina
will no doubt cau.se many farmers to
turn to poultry raising in an endea.
vor to increase their farm income in
1940. Such shifts should be gradual
as there i.<! a vast difference between
crop farming and poultry raising.
Crop farming consists chiefly of pro
ducing raw material; while poultry
and eggs production are manufac.
turing processes, convei'ting raw ma
terials into food products. Thorou?;h
knowledge and experience are nec
essary in order for these manufactu-
ting processes to he carried on in a
most profitable way. Many crop
farmers often fail in poultry raising
on account of the lack of knowledge,
and of the every day details and es.
sentinls of poultry management.
Hints on I'loek Management
With eggs coming down and feed
going up don’t sell out hut cull out.
Watch out for the biid.s that los«
vigor and weight and the on.'F that
go out of production and that persist
in going broody. When the eyes turn
gray or green, it is a sign tliat their
profitable days are over. Continue
the regular detail care and increase
the efficieni'y of the floclc to meet
price of eggs and higher price of
feed. Don't neglect any phase of
flock management on accoiuit of the
unfavorable feed-egg ratio, Kggs
{■hould be held in a room that is not
heated, using enough covering to keep
them from freezing. Heat damages
either market eggs or hatching eggs.
It is not too early to arrange for
your supply or replacement chicks or
source of breeding stock for the com.
ing year. Remember egg production
is Inherited; breeding pays it's
economy to invest a few cents more
in chicks and get livability plus per-
formance.
Poultry Short Courses

New Building Has Done Much
In PromolinB New Inter
est in Institution
:C—
The following interesting facts are
taken from the annual report of the
Southern Pines Library ft>r the year
ending December 1939.
The library was founded in .Janu
ary 1922, and is governed by a board
of Trustees. The present librarian
was appointed in September, 1938.
According to the 1930 census fig
ures, the library serve."< 2,524 peo.
pie, but this is only in theory, for the
library is not public and must seek
its support from its members. On
December 31, 1939, the library had
330 members. 42 of these were chil.
dren.
The library was open 304 days dur
ing 1939, with holidays on th" 4 th
of July, Labor Day. New Year’s Hay,
three days at Easter_ and three duy.'i
at Christmas, The library wns open
39 1-2 hours per week: 9-12, 1-5 from
Monday thrwugh Fiiday, 9.12 on Sat
urday, and fn^n 7:30 to 0 p. in. on
Wednesdays. *
As to cirrulation 7,991 volumes
were lent for home use during the
year; 942 (12 per cent) of these
were adult nonfiction, 5,132 (04 per
cent) woi*e adult fiction, and 1,917
(24 per cent) were juveniles.
7,139 adults and 3,363 juveniles
used the library last year, making a
total attendance of 10.492,
At the beginning of the year the
Southern Pines Libiary had a book
stock of 11,451 books. 362 books
were added to this stock during
1939, b\it approximately 900 books
were given away, usually to the
West Southern Pines school or to
the Sanatorium, leaving a total book
stock on December ,31, 19.'?9 of 10,
913.
Total receipts diiring the year
amounted to $1,640.45 Total expendi
tures amounted to SI,359,41. leaving
a balance on hand at the cid of the
year of S281.04.
We have seen already, by thl.s re
port, what the new buikling will do
toward piomoting the library, even
though we had been in it only foul’
months when the report was roni-
piled. Atendance was 4,665 more in
1939 than in 19.'^8, while circulation

ONE of these days the itch is gSoin^
to hit you to get out and get in on
the fun a Buick can be in the spring*
time.
\'ou're going to feel an irrepressible
yen to touch off that husky, sweet>sing-
ing Dynaflash power plant and swing
out in gentle coil-spring comfort to take
in the fresh spring landscape.
Maybe, like others we know of, you’ve
even got tiie model picked out, and are
just “waiting a few weeks” to do some-
tliing definite about it.
Hut may we emphasize, in purely
friendly interest, that a lot of other
people probably have the same idea.
And that when they start buying in
droves—as they do every year about
the ides of March—even liuick’s big
factory has trouble keeping up with
them.
Of course, we’re doing all we can to be
ready for everyone.
But you can get only so many cars in
a warehouse.
And a full warehouse can empty aw
fully fast.
And what with everybody wanting
Buicks this season, wc can’t say how
long we can promise the delivery we
can give now.
So why not play the early bird this
year? Why not get the jump on your
neighbor and be drii'ing your Buick
while he’s still talking about getting
his?
^’ou’ve nothing to
lose, a lot of fun to
gain — and you'll find
ihe address of >our
Buick dealer in the
phone book.
