POULTRY NEEDS
y SUMMER ATTENTION
Raleigh, June 14.? ?Though egg
production drops in hot weather the
|ioultry flock should receive atten
tion so that best results may be se
cured when production starts on th?
upgrade agaiu.
"The decline in egg production be
gins in June," says Dr. IS. P. Kaupp,
head of the poultry department.
"We estimate that each hen will av
? erase about 18 eggs each during this
month. The breeding season is also
over in June and it is a wise plan lo
fell all the old male birds not need
ed for another season. Those males
that are wanted should be placed in
a separate field with plenty of rang*
- and a comfortable small house. Tm
? male is not needled for egg produc
tion and when he is kept away from
the flock, infertile eggs are produced.
An infertile egg keeps better in hot
weather than a fertile egg. In any
case, it is wise to gather the eggs
frequently and market them at least
twice each week. For best prices,
they sholud be kept clean and cool."
Dr. Kaupp suggests that it might
be a good idea to caponize a few of
the early cockerels and grow them
out on range this summer for the
holiday trade. Capons are in de
mand around Thanksgiving and
Christmas and with a little care, a
good trade in capons may be built
up.
When birds are dipped to control
body pests, a warm day should be
selected and a solution of one per
cent zenoleum or some other coal
tar dip used. The house should be
well ventilated. Open the rear
ventilators but do not permit a draft
to blow across the birds.
Red mites play havoc with the vi
tality of the farm flock, states Dr.
Kaupp. For this reason it is not *
bad plan to paint the perch poles
with pure dip or some used cylinder
oil that has been diluted with kero
sene.
All birds need plenty of shade* and
fresh clean water during summer and
the poultryman who does not provide
these simple necessities makes *
serious mistake, advises Dr. Kaupp.
N. C. COMMISSIONERS
TO MEET AUGUST 9TH
Preparations are already under
way for the annual meeting of the
Association of county commissioners,
according to J. M. Woodland, of
Morehead City, who is president of
that organization.
In many ways this meeting, which
is to be held this year at Chimney
Rock on the second Tuesday in Aug
ust, should be the most significant in
the history of the association, in the
opinion of Mr. Woodland, for at that
time the commissioners will be in a
position to discuss their experiences
with the functioning of the first
steps under the new county govern
ment legislation.
Two years ago the association took
the. initiative and asked Governor
McLean to appoint a commission to
study county government. The pres
ent legislation is largely the out
growth of the work of this commis
sion.
on.
An impressive program is being
prepared, and many prominent
speakers will be asked to take part
in the meetings
DAIRYMEN OF STATE
FORM ASSOCIATIONS
Kuleigh, Juno 14.-?? Indicative of
i-lio ini-t casing interest in dairying
throughout North Carolina is thu
movement to organize the creamery*
nun, t ho formation of a new cow
testing association, am! the better
.airy fire campaign.
All the managers and operaotrs of
creameries throughout the the state
met in Salisbury Wednesday, June
.S, to organize a State Cremarymen'?
Association. There are now 20 such
limits in North Carolina and from
replies received to a letter" sent out
by A. C. Kimrey of State College
before the meeting, it was evident
that each of these plants were rep
resented at the Salisbury meeting.
The organization was formed by u
demand from the creamery manu
facturers that they have an associa
tion which would help them in meet
ing the')- problems and in improving
the quality of butter manufactured.
Twenty dairymen organized to
form the new Guilford Cowtesting
Association. These men own about
Y>0 cows and were concerned about
he profits secured from the individ
ual cows in the herds. The old
Piedmont Cowtesting Association al
ready organized in Guilford county
had proven to the unorganized
dairymen tnat it pays to know the
records made by the animals kept.
The new - association was formed
through the efforts of Mr. Kimrey
and J. I. Wagoner, county farm
agent of Guilford county.
Announcement was made recently
that commercial dairymen and dairy
manufacturers in the state would do
nate sufficient funds to continue the
dairy sire campaign which was waged
so successfully during, the past two
years. I.ast year, the county agents
engaged in this campaign placed 350
pure bred registered bulls and re
placed about 250 scrubs. The five
county agents most successful in
the movement this year will have all
nart of their expenses paid to the
National Dairy Show which meets
at Memphis, Tennessee, in October.
THE "CHARGE ACCOUNT"
HABIT IN TEXAS
"The real tax problem of the
country is no longer in Washington,
but in the state capitols, city halls
and county seats throughout the
country. Turn your eyes homeward.
Much remains to be done there," ad
monishes Ogden L. Mills, assistant
secretary of the treasury.
Taxpayers appear to have been
surprisingly complacent with respect
to state and local bond issue, taxes
and expenditures An enormous debt
incurring, tax increasing, money
spending program has been in prog
ress throughout the nation. Bond
issues have been approved without
being subjected to critical, business
like analyses to ascertain whether or
not they should be pared down. All
sorts of public projects have b^en
undertaken with the tacit approval
of the taxpayers without any sort of
check or supervision on their part
to insure wise expenditures of the
public funds.
The taxpayers of the country have
the power to keep future commit
ments for debt and taxation within
sound and reasonable limits. They
"hould cxercise that power. If th?y
do not they havi no excuse for ob
jecting to exorbitant taxation.
There is a revival of interest in
sheep growing over North Carolina.

Paris (By Cable) June 13.-? This
would seem to lie the "Plastic Age"
of the hat, for I have never seen
such a variety of shapes, shades and
materials. In this interval before
motoring into the country for tea,
I simply must write about the hats
1 saw displayed at , the Paris Kit/,
luncheon hour today.
There is no better place than the
Kitz during the summer season to
obtain a cosmopolitan "slant" on
the current fashions. It is never
difficult to distinguish the true ele
gante, even jn this interesting grand
melange. The fashionables of the
Continent, in fact from all the world
are bound to hover here at some
hour of the day. It is a well-known
fact that his huge gathering is often
interspersed with smartly attired
mannikins from the best known,
house's, for the purpose of promot
ing some fad or mode in subtle fash
ion, be it a vanity case, glove,
gown, or jewel.
1 shall first tell you of the hat,
which was the true cause of this
article. This hat had the undefinable
smartness, which strikes one at a
flash. It was medium-sized and of
the newest version of coarse straw
known as pailtasson> in unbroken
black A narrow gros-grain ribbon,
ending in a flat tailored bow, en
circled the squarish crown. It might
have borne the name of sailor, if
the brim had not had the slightest
suggestion of a droop. Interest here
being centered on the hat, the en
tire ensemble of which this hat was
a part became obliterated for a mo
ment. However, to clarify this pic
' ture I shall tell a little about its
I wearer and the costume it accom
Ipanied. The charming looking per
son who wore this hat was unmistak
! ably Parisian and had the air of a
grande dame. She was suitably
dressed for morning in a well-tail- j
ored black covert suit, white blouse,:
and accessories to match. A stun
ning silver fox fur ltent a last smart
touch V<> ht-r arresting black and
white street costume.
There was evidence all around me
of the many nice straws being used
this season. Of course ! saw lots of
paillassoh, which everyone knows to
l>e the newest and smartest straw ,
for informal wear, and which Re
boux introduced. it is totally diff
erent from anything ever used, be
fore. Besides, there were attract-,
ive models in visca, bahibuntl, woven
Japanese straw, Baku (shiny Chi
nese straw), and some natural col
ored leghorn. The woven Japanese
straw is slightly finer luking and for
mor< all-round wear than paillasson,
although it is similar in appearance,
and will probably outlast this season.
A radiant fair-haired girl came
along in a most attractive purple hat ,
of this woven straw, which was in j
charming contrast to her violet en
semble. The hat was simply trim
med with a purple gros-grain rib- j
bon.
Next, I was attracted by a still :
larger and floppier hair hat in soft
rose and trimmed with velvet plisse '
in a deeper shade of rose. Large j
hair hats are the smatest for more i
formal wear this summer, with the
flimsy flowered chiffons and Georg
ettes.
The summer colors in hats, bob- '
biug up and down and around all
about me were the loveliest sights
imaginable. Pastels still seem to be
predominate. Much pale-blue ap
pears, and pale-rose, violet, and
beige shades.
The young Parisiennes are wear
ing the little felt helmets still more
since the Lindbergh Trans-Atlantic
feat. These are most attractive in
all the prettiest pastel shades and In
tricately cut. Some have wings on
either side, others are the regulation
aviation cut- ? one might have one
ear-tab on either side, and so many
bear the stamp of patriotism in the
$prm of an aeroplane ornament,
which is smartest in marcasite.
