Bundles For Britain 1
Organization Set Up
At Blowing Rock\
With the opening of the Blowing j j
Rock branch of Bundles for Britain, j
another link has been forged in the ' j
nation-wide chain of the American I (
women's relief organization. Offi- | (
cers of the Blowing Rock branch are j
Dr. Mary Cabell Warfield. chairman; !|
Mrs. Hal Martin, secretary, and Miss j
Lena Reeves, treasurer.
The Messerschmitt 109 fighter
plane consigned to Bundles for Brit- j
ain by Lord Beavcrbrook, British 1|
minister of aircraft production, has ^
started its tour of the United States, i
Covered by a 550,000 custom bond,|
the Nazi plane is scheduled to ap- !'
pear in cities and towns in every:,
state in the union, and all proceeds t
from its exhibition will be used to j (
further the cause of civilian relief
in the British Isles.
This is the fighter type of plane ~
used by Germany to protect bomb- ,
ing squadrons on raiding expedi- ^
tions. It is a single-seater, low-wing 1 j
all-metal cantilever monoplane with j s
a speed of little more than 350 m.p.h. |j
Heavily armed, this Nazi Messer- ;
schmitt plane carried four machine t
guns in the wings, two in troughs |
at ine lop oi trie engine cowling, j
and a small cannon which fired
through the airscrew hub, all of
which were mechanically operated
from the cockpit. c
Shot down during a raid on Lon- f
don, machine gun bullet holes ^
through the cockpit of the Messcr- c
schmitt attest the deadly accuracy of ~
a Royal Air Force gunner. Five
stripes on the tail of the plane indicate
that the Nazi pilot had been
credited with downing one British. I

planes somewhere on the continent f

'ARRISH TALKS TURKEY;
OFFERS HELPFUL HINTS
C. F. Parrish. extension poultrynan
at N. C. State College, says it's
ime to talK turkey and offers the (
allowing suggestions to turkey
trowers as a means to more satisactory
results:
Most turkey growers in this state,
'arish says following an inspection
rip around the state, apparently are
letermined not to let this year's crop
pf turkeys "freeze" and are using
prooders at temperatures of 110 defrees.
"Don't let the poults jam up
oo close in the brooders, and on the
ither hand, don't 'cook' them," the
poultryman says, urging that the
rouse should be opened often enough
.0 provide plenty of fresh air.
Young turkeys are great foragers.
;o plenty of forage should be supplied
them on a good range. If dry
veather has ruined the range or ;pasurc,
soybeans should be planted at
>nce.
Four inches c? mash hopper space
;hould be increased to one foot for
ivory two turkeys as the birds near
nalurity. The turkeys like to "wash
heir hands'" before and after eating, _
3arrish says, and in providing a
luitable "wash room" for them, a
piece of wire (hay baling size) should
pe strung above feed hoppers so
hat the birds may clean their
peaks. This facility lessens feather P
picking, the specialist added.

'ARMERS ARE URGED
TO GROW MORE HOGS
A steadily increasing demand for
ork has caused Ellis V. Vestal,
wine specialist of the N. C. State
'olleee .extension coviri^ ?? *
lorth Carolina farmers for larger
og numbers.
More money in circulation as a reult
of the defense program, has
reated a brighter situation for swine
aisers. Likewise, the lease-lend act
uarantces pork supplies to Britain.
"These factors have brought about
favorable ratio between hog prices
nd feed prices." Vestal said. "With
ogs selling at 10 cents a pound and
etter, farmers and 4-H Club memers
may well afford to feed any
igs they have, even if they have to
uy some corn as well as protein
nd mineral."
An average of ten trials conducted
y the North Carolina experiment
iation showed that 10-cent hogs
'ill return S1.75 a bushel for corn
imsumed. basis cottonseed meal at
1.75 per 100 pounds, and fresh meal
t $3.50 per 100 pounds.
Farmers and farm boys wishing to
induct feeding demonstrations ate
ivised by Vestal to use the followig
procedure:
Weigh the pigs at the beginning
[ the period.
Use a self-feeder. Blueprints may
e obtained from any county agent.
Use shelled corn or ground barley
i one compartment, and cottonseed
ical and fish meal (or tankage) in
le other.
Use the recommended mineral
lixture in a dry place. Green feed
important, too.
Keep a record of feed used.
Vestal said county agents will be
ad to assist farmers in carrying out
lesc swine-fed demonstrations.
Experiments are being conducted
ith new types of small airplanes
itli safety factors better than anyling
yet known. This would perit
the average person to learn to
y within a very short time.

Swiss chard, tomatoes, kale, turnips
and turnip salad in July or
August. Plant a second crop of
Irish potatoes in July.
Suggested work in the home orchard
during the July-August period

there will be no better fruit buy on

If the growers are to receive a fair
price for their crop, it will be neIcessary
for consumption of peaches
to rise considerably over normal
consumption. Before we ask people
in other states to eat more peaches,
we certainly should do our part at
home."
The latest fruit situation report of
the L". S. department of agriculture
indicates a crop of 20,840,000 bushels
in the 10 "early" states, all of which
