Just what kind of change will be offered is not yet known. It is quite possible that this instrument, wonderful as it is, and having served so wonderfully in the past, is not fitted for modern times. Certainly America, and the world, are not what they were when the constitution of the United States was written. Those who framed that instru ment in bygone days under- ' stood government to be a very different thing from what it has developed to be. In those days COUNTY FARM NEWS By Your County Agents WINTER CARE OF POULTRY It is safe to say that poultry of some kind is found on every farm in Madison county and is kept by most people living in towns. Due to the prevalence of this enterprise several factors will be treated briefly in this article. Since chickens are by far the most numerous in the county most of what is said will have to do primarily with hens. According to the popula- ton of Western North Carolina there is 135 hens to every 100 people. We need more good hens properly cared for. It is a common expression to hear farmers say their hens have gone on a "strike." More technically speak ing one could say the hens are taking their "winter pause" now. Half on beginning of the year and keep ac us aie not getting enough eggs forjt-urate records during the year and our own use. There are several good then make a closing inventory. Then causes for this non-production. I you have it all summed up ready to sales from the farm. Due to the fact all tobacco can be sold by contracting farmers this year the price is a. little lower than it would have been for the better grades of tobacco. It is a mistake to sell tobacco that will not bring at least 7c per pound. The farm income from the tobacco crop in the United States is up $13 000,000 over the 1934 crop. The average price of all types of tobacce produced in 1932 was 10.5 cents per pound. The present esti mate is that the 1935 crap will aver age 18.5 cents a pound which i a- bout the same as the average annual price over the five-year period 1925 1929. TOBACCO SEED There is a limited supply of tobac co seed on hand in this office. The varieties we have are the same as handled previously, and are root-rot-resistant seeds.

A tice is not as bad in many respects as some of oui' letermine profits or loss.

BALANCED FEEDING. It has been proven beyond a doubt with experiments hens should be fed laying mash during the winter months. Too many flocks in this county get no mash anytime with the limited amount of scratch giain fed daily. Keep in mind the statement made previously in this paper that any enterprise you keep on the farm is worth keeping right .This saying es pecially applies to feeding. A hen needs at least 4 oz. of mash and grain daily, or will consume about 90 lbs. feed yearly. In winter when snow is on ground feed must be supplied as theie is little to pick up or scratch out. The long cold winter nights makei it pettinent that hens should be fed at day light, or at least the first chores in the morning. Regularity of time and sameness of feeds are most essential factors,. Do not change feeding duiing cold weather or hens will be apt to molt, and drop in egg production. Eggs are 65 ri water, and we know hens will not drink enough ice co' 1 water. In freezing weatlfer water should be changed several times dai ly. Water with chill removed is a good tonic on cold days. By Jill means a hen should be furn ished with extra teeth during winter. I am referring to the grit and oyster shell needed to help diarest feed and make egg shells. Du'ing nice weath er when hens are out this is not ?o important. No mention has been made of san itation, health and many other factors to ever look out for in successful poultry farming. Experience is the best teacher. The longer you keep a lnsincr entemri.se the mnn in ilpht you go. This county due to climatic ad' vantages is a potential poultry cen ter. Hens ought to lay the year a- round. Try to make your flock more profitable by giving your hem a let ter chance. Allow this office to ad vise you anytime to keep from hav ing to boy so many eggs. .

We Drivers A Seriet of Brief Discussion on Driving, Dedi cated to the Safety, Comfort and Pleasure of the Motoring Public.

The friction between the roa end our rub' ber tires is what gives us traction. Most of the time we have plasty of traeaion. But In certain climates every yea. Winter comes bhwrsag and blustering down from the Xortk, md Xbm first thing we know he has spread lee and wvr mm om roads, and our whole traction condition k) caaaejeSi But automobiles are pretty well preneei flkaa days to meet any conditions. All -we have to As adjust ourselves to these changed drcunMlsswea For Instance, many skillful drivers start their cars In high sjsar os slippery, icy streets. Ordinarily this would be a bad thing to da. But our tires have to start us going on slippery ice or snow, starting in second or "high" Is harmless and it does help to avoid spinning wheels, side slipping and difficulty in getting under way. If you haven't tried this after stopping at Intersections, you may be sur prised to find out how much more quickly you get started again. Only, remember to engage the clutch very slowly. This business of starting in slippery weather can be quite a problem. But stopping is even more so. However, most good drivers agree on one method that they find quite satisfactory. First of all they begin tb slow their cars down at quite a distance from where they want to stop. They press the brake lightly at first and release it almost at once. 'Then they press again and release auicklv. Bv a aeries of brief, moderate brake actions, instead of one continuous pressure, ttr gradually reduce speed and can usually stop without skidding. 'Many of the best-drivers always majcaiLJr-posoi not to disengage the clutch, as soon as h?y-?ptdy their brakes, but-towait until the carHias-Hrnos stopped. While this Is their general practice, ther say it is especially-important on slippery vaadsres they claim it reduces the chances of skidding.' But if we use this method there is one thing we most look out for. We have to remember that on a slippery sur face it is very-easy to stall our engine by using our brakes when the clutch is still engaged. Outside of starting and stopping, most winter skid ding is at turns and curves. Many good drivers tell us that they treat every slippery curve or turn as though ' . it were eoina to be a stoo. In other wnrrl. thaw an. ' nroach curves using the very same vstn nf ahnrt. moderate brake actions. The result Is that when they reach the curve they are at so slowly that they can actually give the engine a little ma and mil . k power m me wneeis. wiin power Turning ine 'Aheela, we are not so likely to skid. "f: V After all, the main thing to do about driving in slippery weather is just what we do about walking in slippery weather. We are all pretty careful about ' that The first tiling most of us do when we go out on slippery morning is to put out one foot cautiously- ana get tne leel of the surface to see how careful we have to be. The best drivers we know do 'practically the same thing with their cars. The first thing they do after they get started, is to test the surface. They make sure that there are no can too near, and then they' gently apply the, brakes. If they dont skid they resume speed and) apply the brakes a?aia this time a little mora firmly. ' - III this way they determine the surface and know the degree of caution therj 7 nrost eerdec to he safe. This seems like a very senatbte Idea, - . . m
