Poultry Population Slated For Increase North Carolina is standing on the threshold of another great poultry year, according to C ?. Paniili, ex tension poultryman at State Col lege. The output of baby chicks has been increasing steadily in the past' few years, resulting in a plentiful supply of broilers and fryers. Last year, Tar Heel poultrymen started approximately thirty million baby chicks. "We must depend on North Caro lina and other nearby markets to handle the poultry supply produced in this State," Parriah said. "It Is not practical, in most cases, to ship broilers and fryers to distant mar- j kets because of shrinkage and com-! petition." At the present time, the State ^ College poultryman said, there are markets in this 8tate that can use more live and dressed poultry, since they have encountered trouble in establishing steady year-round sup plies. From November until spring, the demand for broilers and fryers is usually weak due to competition from fresh pork, hens and turkeys. As a result, present low prices will not begin to pick up until the first part of the spring. However, the consumption of broilers and fryers is increasing each year in North Car olina, and the market will oontinue MOTIVE Forgetting profits and costs to them. Willlamston merchsnts are mating extensive preparations for the biggest dollar-day trade event in the history of the town. Prices have been slaughtered to bring the figures down to an even dollar, and the profit mo tive has been virtually lost. No greater bargains have ever been offered. The motive behind the dollar day event Is to prove to Increas ing numbers that Willlamston Is an ideal shopping center, one that offers dependable merchan dise under convenient and ad vantageous circumstances. Control Of Sweet Potato Diseases There is little excuse for damage from the four major sweet potato dis eases?stem rot or wilt, scurf, black rot and root knot or big root?says Dr. Luther Shaw. Extension plant pathologist of State College. Practi i cal, economical and effective control measures have been developed for all four diseases, and not even the I home gardener should suffer, Dr. Shaw declared. The first and most important con trol measures is to select healthy potatoes for bedding. Then, all seed potatoes should be treated by soak ing for 15 minutes in a mercuric chloride solution prepared In the proportion of one ounce of mercur ic chloride to eight gallons of water. The wattr should be heated to around 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and the po tatoes should be allowed to dry and should be bedded without washing. If potato slips are to be transplant ed on land known to harbor the wilt or stem rot fungus, the root ends of the slips should be immersed In a Bordeaux mixture, prepared by mix ing 1 pound of copper sulphate (blue stone) and 1 pound of lime with 2 1-2 gallons of water. ?Whuif the scurf a incase H prei ent in the soil, the roots of the slips should be dipped into a bag of sul phur and transplanted immediately. When both wilt and scurf are pres ent, Dr. Shaw advises the use of Se mesan Bel. There are resistant varieties to control the black rot and root knot diseases. The Extension specialist offered to supply complete information to any grower who writes him at State Col lege. Raleigh. t??? Movement It Underway To Incraate l.etpotleta | ? The Polk County Agricultural ' Conservation Association committee has started a movement to get every farmer possihle to gnw at least I DO pounds of lespedeza seed this spring. to take a reasonable supply of these birds. Parrish also explained that as the egg supply becomes more plentiful at this season of the year, prices be gin declining. In order to make profits during this period, careful management and close culling must be practiced. Too many growers, he said, lose interest when prices drop and tend to neglect their layers.

Declaring the recent hunting sea son was (airly successful, Game War den Bill Abbitt stated today that game was more plentiful in Martin County now than ever before. Hie carry-over of birds and turkeys is believed to have set a new record,; the warden explaining that unfav orable weather conditions during much of the hunting season kept hunters out of the fields and woods, t It is estimated that sixty turkeys' were killed during the season, that hardly more than 100 deer were tak-. en. The squirrel bore the brunt of the hunter's attack, the warden stat ing that thousands of the little nut crackers fell before the sportsman's gun. The rabbit had a fairly difficult time between the hunter and the fox. Warden Abbitt stating that the reynard was about to put the cotton tail out of business, "and he is do- ! ing much damage to game birds," the warden added Recognizing the damage done by the fox, game authorities have no closed season for taking the animal in this county, the warden explain ing that the fox hunter is doing a good work when he runs the sly ani mals down. \ Last March, the Department of Conservation and Development re leased sixty turkeys, one report stat ing that one old hen had raised twen ty young ones and carried them through the season despite the gun. Forty more wild turkeys will be turned looae during the next few days between Dardens and Palmyra. A splendid observance of the hunt ing laws was reported in the county during the recent season, the war den stating that few were caught and called to answer for hunting out of season. Twenty-two were carried in to the courts for allegedly hunting without license. Fourteen other hunt ers were prosecuted for taking more than the legal bag limit and for hunt ing with automatic shot guns un plugged. "If forest fires can be eliminated and if the fox hunters continue an effective work, next season should sec an abundance of all types of game in mis county, Warden Abbitt add ed. ]ack?on Farmert Plant Treat 1 To Check Erotion On Land* Farmers of Jackson County have j made application through the coun-1 ty agent's office for 188,000 trees to , be used in checking erosion and re-1 claiming worn-out land on their i farms.
