Increase Food Production To Prevent a Shortage Tlu' government is calling m: the fanners daily to increase food that -1 no loOcl shortage ior any Ol tm allied nations during this war. Concentrated foods are needed badly for home consumption tnd to ship to our Mutual allies. E.te 1 anil every American must and wll do his part in keeping our armies well fed and only a well fed army can achieve a guick victory. We have been asked to increase the supply of poultry products. This is o: c thing each and every amily in Halifax County can do to aid in tr.e 'Food tor Do: A ... \' tt uy" program. Here are a few suggestion; to aid you in producing more and better chickens and eggs. Baby chicks for fryer and - 1. Buy baby chicks only i'ron hatcheries which are X. C. or l ■ S. approved and handle blood - od chicks only. (The County A gents office can furnish you w-ih a 1st of these hatcheries.) 2. Disinfect and clean thorough ly all brooder houses before ehieks are bought. Keep plenty of eed and w i '■ before the chicks at all times and clean the feed and water i; n ainers often. The mash shovtl i contain at least IS per cent pro tein. 1. Kill all the sickly ing the first few days. 5. Clean the house at least ev cry ten days. Cleanliness and good baby chicks is the secret to suc cessful poultry raising. It is much reaper to prevent diseases rath er than try to doctor chicks. Al-o a most cases., chicks which t ;.-t very little are generally the m -t expensive laying hens. Twamv five well cared for hen.- will pro duce more eggs than fifty hero with very poor cure and will 1c turn you more profit. All non-lav ing or “free boarding" hens sh ■ ild be culled out and sent to market or eaten. There are five things necessary in order for any hen to lay v >■ ularly. 1 A fairlv good ilouse that is dry, free of strong drafts and kept clean and littered. Sudden ■hunaes in Weather cottditi ms uf ‘ect hens much more which are in poor heuses and causes them to stop laying after each weather change. 2. Seed the hens regularly with a g'ood feed. Keep mash before them at all times and feed m rn >r grain in the late afternoon. The liest way to stop a hen from lay in*: is to feed them irregularly or suddenly change from one feed to another. Water is just as important as feed and must be kept before lay iens all during tl *y. On rnings warm watt r si be given the hens to encourage the into drink more. I -1.

PLANS UNDERWAY FOR FAJWCENSUS Raleigh, January 9-ln'ormation on livestock, acreage, farm ma chinery and poultry will bo gath ered from 2$0,000 farmers this month by the State D( pai t nent of Agriculture for use in the 11)42 Far n Census, "a publication that will bo of inestimable value in planning for defense programs. Information for the census Will be furnished by growers whne they 1...: their taxes. i- important that framers f', rnish in ormation for the cen sus as early as possible in order that the census may la- given to the publishers as early a posible,” W. T Garriss, census supervisor, said today. “The value of the Ven us will be greater if it is placed in tin hands of farmers and agri cultural leaders as soon as possi ble." Meanwhile, Governor Broughton a d Commissioner of Agriculture \\ . Kerr Scott have made a joint al to farmers for cooperation litating the issurance of the census. Both viewed the publics-| turn as a worthwhile contribution to the defense program with rela-j tion to agricultural planning. The Farm Census has been pub lished by the State Department of Agriculture for 25 years. Garriss emphasized that “the in formation gathered for the census has tremendous value in furnish ing growers 'factual munitions’ for intelligent agricultural planning.” SCRAP METAL SALES AID FARMERS AND RED CROSS Scrap iron and steel is neede ! prog ram.the Vmerican Red Cross needs men •y for emergency work . . farm ms want to help in the war effort' in every way possible. Dean I. 0. Schaub, director <>f; the Stat< College Extension Ser vice and agricultural repre sentaJ :ive on the executive committee of t!u- State Defense Council, sug ests a cay for farmers to sene— "Scrap the Japs with Scrap.” In Hoke County, he says, a one scrap metal c ollection cam. g.i was conducted, ai*i far uer.-» tight it more t an MOO,000 . :u- of discarded farm machi ry. tractors, gas e1 gines, auto. J s, fence wire. etc. They sold s rap to licensed dealers at j n 40 to 5i) cents per 100 ■ ounds. "instead of pocketing the men-1 y received for the scrap, most of the farmers turned around and lonated the cash to the Red Cross” Dean Schaub reported. "In this way, the farmers provided metal for guns and mur.itions, and for the manufacture of farm machi nery', while donating to the Red Cross more monev than they oth I el wise would have been able to give.” Dean Schaub suggested that the scrap metal collection campaigns which will be conducted in other counties this month be patterned! along the same lines as the Hoke I County drive. A theater in Rea lVr 1 offered free movie tickets to farmers who brought in 500 pounds or more of scrap, and oth. j er prizes were offered by mer chants who advertised in a spec ial edition of the local newspaper," “Scrap iron and steel is abso lutely necessary in the present method of manufacturing new steel,” the farm leader explained. There are thousands of tons of scrap on farms of North Carolina which should be put to use in the National war program.” Farm M&ehlnery Dealers J Meed Orders Fer Parts Farmers are being advised to order repair parts for their tract. ( ors, plows and other machines at the earliest possible moment. “There’s an important reason” says I). S. Weaver, State College agricultural engineer, “and it’s not the usual Shop Early and Avoid' the usual sort of appeal.” Here’s the way the Extension Service specialist explained it -: The Office of Production Manage- ] ment i^ prepared to give farm ma chinery manufacturers priority on metals, BUT not until they re ceive orders from their dealers, Backed up by Bona-Fide orders! from consumers. Therefore, says Weaver, farm ers must determine now what parts they need to put their ma chines in good order for the 11*42, season. Then, they must place their i orders immediately for these parts. j The usual practice of waiting | until just before a machine is \ needed in the spring, and then going to town for a repair part, will not work this year. There| won’t bo ally repair parts there, unless the order is placed at once. ■'Jr, Hhe ‘Food for Freedom’ program farmers must produce more food with fewer men," Wea ver pointed out. ‘‘Greatly increas ed use of farm machinery is in dicated. To meet the demand for new machines would require the manufacture of 20 to 25 percent more tractors, plows, combines, etc., than were produced in 1&41. “On the other hand,” he declar I :HL OLD riOML TOWN — By STANLEY Si' !'. 7. • I Chairman Named For President’s Annual Bail ( ha i mi an Miller \nnounces Drive W ill He Launched In State January 12th.

Shaw declared he tried to dodge the pedestrian and that iti the resulting confusion, weight finally plunged into the truck and was run over. He died at the hospital here within a short time after the accident. Shaw’s account of the accident was corro borated by two eyewitnesses.
