The Cove Creek Chapter of Young
Tar Heel Farmers met in the agriculture
rom of the high school building
on October 30th, and enjoyed

it Ain't No Crime for a Nigger to
Steal Chickens. The affirmative side
of this question was presented by
James McBride and Earl Henson. The
negative was presented by Henry
Wellman and Berl Henson. The negative
side won the decision, however
all the speeches were very good. For
next Friday, the 6th, we have another
debate, Resolved, That Watauga
County Needs a Co-operative Marketing
Association for the Sale of
Her Crops. The speakers on the affirmative
are Marvin Deal, Wheeler
Farthing and Dean Mast. The speakers
on the negative are Stanford

STUDENTS GRADE CHICKENS
Seventeen agricuintral students
culled chickens at Mr. A. B. Harmon's
home last Monday, the 2Gth, and
again at Mr, S. F. Horton's home on
the 27th. All chickens that are not
paying their way should be eliminated
from the flock and (he time and feed
used for these "boarders" should be
put to a better use. We judged thess
chickens and separated the culls from
the good chickens. A few points for
recognizing the poor layer t are: The
head is snaky and narrow. Comb and
wattles are shriveled and pale; eyes
arc listless and sunken. When 'he
distance from the lay bones to the]
keel bone is less than three fihgors,
the layer's capacity is poor. The abdomen
is hard and taut. The pelvic
bones or lay bones of the low producer
are rigid, stubby and close together,
quite often with only a onefinger
space between the bones. The
poor layer has a short narrow back
with the rump piue'ned in at the stern
to a wedge-shaped point. Shanks of
a poor layer are full, round and

Some ways of recognizing the good
!layer are. the head shows alertness.
: The comh and wattles are full and

A good layer has a four to six-finger

layer are thin, straight and flexible,
with at least a two-finger space between
