Governor Valks to Peace Girls.
The first of a series of citizenship
lectures planned for Peace Institute
was delivered by Governor Cameron
Morrison. The Governor who spoke
on the function? of government gen
erally, and his own office in particu
lar, will be followed shortly by the
second in the series shortly by the
Secretary of State W. N. Everett.
It was patriotic night for Peace
Institute, and the students sang as
their contribution to the program,
"Carolina," and "America, the Beau
tiful." Miss Meribah Moore, of the
faculty of the school, also sang.
Governor Morrison, speaking for
more than an hour and a half, explain
ed the system of government under
which North Carolina operates, dif
ferentiated between the executive, the
judicial and th'e legislative branches
of the State government, and urged
that the tendency toward the overlap
ping of the functions of one branch by
the othor be stiffly opposed.
Commissioners Hears Port Authority.
, To create a port out of Wilming
ton sufficiently impressive to give the
state any commercial advantage North
Carolina must draw traffic from the
Southwest and Middle West and must
start operations with convenient dock
facilities as a port of call, developing
gradually into a service port, accord
ing to Dr. Edwin J. Clapp, well known
port authority, who spoke before the
Ship and Water Transportation Com
mission, at the invitation of the com
mission. Dr. Clapp estimated that a
double pier with berth.* for four
steamers, a modest beginning would
cost approximately a million and a
half dollars.

Money Spent on 8chools.
The current educational expenses
per pupil varied widely in North Caro
lina public schools in 1921-22, the -ex
penses in some ctfnnties being nearly
three times those of other counties,
according to a table of financial statis
tics relative to public education in
this State compiled by George How

Education. The statistics compiled by
Mr. Howard have been printed in
pamphlets which will be mailed to
county school superintendents and
other educational officials throughout
the state, according to an official an
nouncement.
With $51.58, Durham county had
the higehst per pupil, current expense
for the year 1921-22 of all the 100
counties in North Carolina, according
to Mr. Howard's figures, while Bruns
wick had the lowest with a per pupil
current expense of $15.65.
Included in "current expenses" are
costs of administration, operation,
maintenance, teadtfing and supervision.
Costs of new equipment' and perman

To Produce Winter Eggs
Give Pullets. Good Care
"Finishing the pullets" means get
ting the young stock In a condition
which will allow them to go through
the winter in good health, produce a
good number of eggs and develop a
resistance against disease, siys VV. H.
Alien, extension poultry specialist, New
Jersey agricultural experiment station.
The pullet is allowed to reach its
maximum growth before it is permitted
to lay eggs. In Leghorns this will oc
cur when they are about five months
old, and with the dual purpose breeds,
such as Rhode Island Red and Ply
mouth Rock, it will take at least a
month longer. The lighter breeds,
such as the Leghorns, should weigh at
least three pounds, at time of condi
tioning,- and the heavier breeds, like
the Rhode Island Red, should weigh
from four to four and a half pounds.
The ration used in conditioning a
flock consists largely of fattening
foods, such as corn, wheat, oats and
their by-products, With as little animal
protein as possible. A good scratch
feed consists of equal parts of cracked
corn and wheat. This is fed twice a
day, approximately six to eight pounds
per 100 birds at each feeding.
A good mash for'this period is two
parts of wheat bran, two parts of corn
meal, two parts of ground oats, two
parts of flour middlings, and one part
of meat scrap. This mash is kept be
fore the pullets at all times. One hun
dred growing pullets eai five to ten
pounds of it a day.
The conditioning period takes ap
proximately a siontftj two weeks on the
range and two weeks in the laying
quarters. As soon as the pullets show
signs of laying on the range, they are
housed, and the same feed continued
for two weeks before changing to t.
laying ration.
When the pullets are housed they
need just as much green feed and ex
ercise as If still on the range.
i Oyster shells are kept where the
birds can always get them. .
Find Sulphur Practical
Remedy for Poultry Ills
The argument of some poultrymen
that sulphur is harmful to fowls in ,
wet weather is declared by N. W. San
>born, poultry specialist of the Florida
college of agriculture, to be a mis
taken Idea. In fact, the birds that
have been given sulphur In their feed
for some time are better able to stand
long wet periods than they otherwise
would be.
The primary purpose for which sul
phur is recommended is to modify the
attacks* of sorehead, according to Dr.
Sanborn. Sorehead ? a disease of
poultry that is similar to measles
which affect children, in that it never
attacks the same bird more than once
?is considered one of the very worst
troubles with which the Florida poul
tryman has to contend. Some states,
after conducting experimental tests
with a number of remedies, have ad
vocated tlie inoculation of the poultry
with a serum. However, Florida has
never conducted any such tests, but its
specialists have learned that sulphur
Is a practical remedy.
Dr. Sanborn recommends that the
sulphur equal 1 per cent of the mash,
with which it should be mixed. It is
particularly recommended for growing
chickens, serving not only to modify
the disease but: also as a food. The
sorehead attacks are only mild when
sulphur is fed because the chicken's
body and system are kept In a strong,
healthy condition.
Hopeless Task to Raise
Young and Old' Together
Some place it is stated that it is un
wise to put new wine in. old bottles.
A modern version would be that, it is
unwise to put young chicks in quar
ters occupied by mature stock. It is
almost a hopeless task to raise young
and old together. The conditions are
not sanitary, the chicks are badly In
fested with lice, and the hens get first
chance at the feed. The chicks get
trampled under foot and what few live
don't grow because they have little op
portunity to eat.
Successful Poultryman
Picks Choicest Fowls
The poultry raiser who does best is
almost always the one who carefully
picks out each* year only his choicest
specimens and breeds from these ex
clusively. As a natural result, his
flocks become better and better each
year. By the same token the man who
is breeding for heavy egg-productiou
should pick Out his very best, layers to
be used as breeders, and in the course
of a few generations the habit of pro
lificacy will become firmly established
in this family.;
