FUNCTIONS AND AIMS' OF FSA ARE STATED Dur.ng the past live ye^rs 453 farm families have used the .-ei v - ives of the Farm Security Admin istration and have made a hu'o- ' sustantial contribution to the na tion's wartime food production. Marty farmers who have never been very successful are now in a strong position to continue sound and profitable farming after the war, and many more low-income farmers are able to get this chance through FSA rehabilitation service. Rehabilitation means an oppor tunity to obtain sufficient credit on reasonable terms to buy the things that one needs to do a g^od job of farming within the debt repaying capacity of one's farm. To be eligible for FSA rehabili tation services one must (1) have had a reasonable amount of farm ing experience, (2) own or rent land on which one can make a liv ing, and (3) be willing to work hard and use farm and home prac tices that will help one get ahead. -The Farm Security Administra tion is set up to help veterans obtain rehabilitation loans as. well as a loan with which to purchase a farm. Any veteran applying for assistance from the FSA can rest assured that he will be given all possible assistance in locating and working out a farm and home plan to fit his needs. The FSA in Sylva is located on Main street in the Legal Building.

(International) HYBRID CORNS SHOW NO BARREN STALKS One ot the principal reasons why hybrid corn produces larger yields ? than open pollinated corn is due to the absence of barren stalks. D.\ R. P. Mo are, seed improve ment expert of the Agricultural ! imont?St>n?at State Col lege. suggests that farmers make I checks on their corn this summer where they are growing both hy brid and open pollinated corn. The hybrid should produce an ear on every stalk, with many stalks producing more than one ear. Stand is very important and the number of plants per acre is often the deciding factor in large yields per acre, where the crop is given full fertilization. Barren stalks will be found in the open pollinated corn. Growers will also note that the hybrid corn has a very uniform root system, occording to Dr. Moore. On the other hand, they will also find that while some stalks of the open pollinated va riety have exceptionally good root systems, other stalks will have relatively poor ones. Just any hybrid corn is not a guarantee of good yields. Dr. Moore says that while one hybrid may be well suited to one sect.on of North Carolina,-it may be a very po jr second to open pollinated corn in another section. North Carolina has been divided into 9 corn zones and recommen dations have been made for each ?.o:\e the Agronomy Depart ment at State College, based upon Experiment Station results. A leaflet carrying these recommen dations, together with a descrip tion of the various recommended hybrids, may be obtained by writ ing the Agricultural Editoi, State College Raleigh. LETTERS De.tr Editor: During the past few weeks there | have lie en some straw votes con ! ducted in Jackson county in regard j to Sunday movies. In some way word has been circulated rather widely that those polls were spon sored by the Jackson County ! Chamber of Commerce. This was ! not a project of the Chamber of I Commerce, and the Board of Di i rectors wants it understood that we did not sponsor the move. As an official group we do not go on record as approving or dis approving Sunday movies. We ! feel that there are many services I which we can render our com | munity without touching upon is ' sues which are controversial in ! their nature. BOARD OF DIRECTORS, !

Store Friday, I June 21, from 9 o'clock to 4 I o'clock. If you have eye trouble or don't see well you should consult Dr. Downs on above date. UNCERTAINTY SEEN ! IN POULTRY MARKET R-leigh. Jane 24?R. B. Kelly. ;; i try nv../.et.r.:: specialist with the Suite Department of. Agricul ture, believe> that "the poultrv - i industry in North Carolina faces I ?ne >>!' the Ltcate.-t peroids of un certainty it has encouraged in ! many years." He is sure there will be a sellers' market for all eggs produced dur- j in? tiie next six months. But the farmer has no idea what he will receive for his eggs?except that the price will likely be at least 50 cents per dozen for the graded product. However, the cost of production . will be much higher than last spring or a year ago. The recent increases granted on ceiling prices for wheat, corn, and other pro ! ducts that go into mixed feeds are 1 expected to step up the production ? costs approximately 20 per cent. According to Kelly, the imme i diate future of the poultry indus try in North Carolina and in other ! states depends upon what the , Congress does during the next few days regarding tiie powers of the Office of Price Administra tion. If ceiling prices are main stained on poultry and eggs, pou 1 "jtrymen may be forced into furth i er liquidation. Increased liquidation may also ! be necessary because of the pro ducer's inability to find sufficient quantities of mixed feeds?even at the increased prices. Kelly says that cold storage holdings of shell eggs in the 35 principle storage centers of the nation on June 17 were 1,500,000 more cases than the average for - thin riMn Hnrinfl thr? pnet fivo y?*nrg. There were 20,000,000 more pounds of frozen eggs held in storage on June 17 than the average since 1941. | Nevertheless, in Kelly's opinion poirttrymen of this state will prob ably receive prices comparable to or higher than during the last half of 1945?providing the scarcity of meat continues. But the net profit on the eggs sold will be less than last year. He thinks that poultrymen will find it profitable to cull their flocks "frequently and thorough ly," keeping in mind the uncer tainty of the feed supply and the price situation., Kelly points out that the re moval or raising of poultry and egg ceilings will add nothing to the availability of feed. Conse quently, poultry producers who neglect to cull properly may find j themselves caught short on the j feed supply.

(Lntc: .iiO LECTURE ON CANNING WILL BE GIVEN HERE Miss Margaret Murphy, home economist of the Educational De partment of the Kerr Mason Jar Company, will lecture and hold a demonstration on home canning at the Sylva High School cafeteria tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock/ The meeting, arranged by Miss Martha Barnett, associate FSA supervisor, and Miss Josephine Johnston, Jackson County home demonstration agent, is open to all those interested.

Rails Being Removed From Jackson Line Removal of the 15 miles of rails from the railroad between Sylva and East LaPorte has been begun by Platnick Brothers of Bluefield. W. Va., dealers in scrap metal. The railroad was owned by the .Blackwood Lumber company and connected its band mill at East La Porte with tha Southern Railway here. The band mill, at one time one of the largest hardwood lum ber operations in Western North Carolina, was in use for approxi mately 27 years before it was aban doned. The mill also was sold to the icrap firm and has been dismantled. Ben Patnick, president of the firm, said that he expected it to take about six months to remove the rails. They will be shipped to Bluefield before being sold. The future peace of the world may depend on whether the earth's 2 billion men, women, and chil dren obtain better standards of living. /FOR YOURSELF Something that seems minor now all too often develops into a major ? repair later.

The protein level of corn tassels, usually discarded in detasseling of hybrid corn for seed, is almost twice that of the corn itself. This factor is important in poultry and livestock feeding.
