In March of 1994, Russell re
ceived hi* iccond batch of chick*.
100 White Rocks. He believe* hi*
earning* thi* year will be down

not been as heavy layer* a* hi* first
ones. The firit year's* chickens
were of the New Hampshire Reds
breed. Records for the six-month*
theae White Rock* have been in
production, September IBM to
March, ihqw he has cleared $96 95
in that time. He is feeding 02 lay
er* at present, nine of them being
from hi* first flock.
Last month Russell received nil
third shipment of 100 day-old
chicks which sre Parmenter Bed*.
He uyi this breed has proved it
self to be food layers.
Russell's 12-year-old brother, |
Ronald, recognizing a good thing,
was able to get 100 chickens from
the chain this year, and between
the two, should be able to furnish
many breakfasts in the Town of
Boone. With the help of their fa
ther they have fixed up a broader
house and made a brooder from
an old washing tub and brooder
bulbs to supplement the brooder
they already had.
The boys com* by their ambitions
quite naturally. Their parents, Mr.
and Mri. Cecil Swift, are success
ful farmer* by all standards. Last
year, during the Unit Test Demon
stration Farm and Home Tour,
their home was voted as the "best
home viAited" on one of the four
days of the tour. The tour is eon
ducted by the extension service of
Watauga County among its unit
test farms. ?
Mr. Swift believes in "diversified
farming," raising beef cattle, sheep,
chickens, tobacco and beans, be
sides much of the food they eat.
Mrs. Swift put up over 800 jari
of produce last year, and also
much of the meat they use. She
does much of the family sewing
and cares for three-year old Gene,
youngest of the Swifts.
They are active in community
work, and feel bad if they are un
ablq to attend any of the neigh
borhood gatherings.
Other 4-H projects carried 01
by Kussell and Ronald, under the
supervision of W. C. Richardson
assistant county agent, includes a
tobacco bed for Ruasell, a sow for
Ronald (which last year farrowed
12 pigs and raised them all) and
a sheep raising project between the
boys. They are caring for nine
ewe sheep t>n shares.
The Soviet Union hu notified

New Rabies Case
Is Reported Here
?
? Health Dept. Bulletin.)
A case of rabies ha* been report
ed in the Deerfield section, and
the head of the dog has been lent
for laboratory examination'
Fortunately the dog did not bite
any person, but bit several , other
dogs, which hadn't been vaccinat
ed. The rabid dog wasflso never
vaccinated, though it bad been
confined since bitten by a rabid
animal Christmas day. Other dogs
bitten at the same time went mad
Again we urge that all dogs be
vaccinated for their protection and
that of the family. If all the dogs ,
in the county had been vaccinated
when the clinics were held or at
the veterinarian's office, the rab
ies quarantine could soon have
been lifted.

"I fly one of the new Super-G Constella
tions for Trans World Airlines. Of course,
I am familiar with Phillips 96 Aviation
Gasoline because TWA uses it regularly.
It's the Avgas with added Di-isopropyl.
"Now Phillips is putting Di-isopropyl
in its automobile gasoline, too. New
Phillip* 66 FUTEFUEL is the only auto
mobile gaaolioc with added Di-iiopropvl.
1 um it regularly in my own car, and I
always get wonderful performance."
Captain Refer Dan Rae
/ Tram World AMinet
For tupor performance, I 111 up with
HIGHER OCTANE! New FLITE-FUEL is the only gasoline to
which is added the super aviatioa fuel component Di-isopropyl. And
today's FLITK-FUEL is better than e?er. Both new FUTE-FUEI. and
new Phillips 66 Gasoline have been fortited for increased power,
higher octane, longer mileage. Fill up at your Phillips 66 Dealer's.
