Comments By BILL WHITLEY INADEQUATE. Sen W Kerr Scott hit uked for in ixpiniioii watershed development program, which he said to now "groealy in Under present law, groups of fermeri. businessmen, municipal ties, etc.. are eligible to get Feder al aid lor small watershed pro Jects, but the aaaiataace Is limited and meet of the coeU for such pro jects must be paid by the local groups. Such projects have proved very t valuable in rscent years by im pounding small bodies of water for flood prevention, new source* of Industrial and municipal water supplies, soil conservation and re creation. "With many, many cities and towns seeking new sources of wat er supplies and many farm sections plagued with poor drainage, small watershed projects at the head waters of our creeks and river* are the answer to a good many of our water resource problems that both town and country people are trying to solve." Scott said. EXPANSION. The Senator said present law allow* little more than "advice and technical assistanc e" U) communities that want to carry out small watershed projects. Scott asked the Senate to pass a bill that would require the Feder al government to pay the total construction coats of approved pro jects and eliminate much of the red tape that Is involved in the present program. RUMOR? There's a rather reli able story making the rounds in Washington to thl* effect: The Republican National Com mittee, when it meet* in San Francisco next month to nominate Eisenhower and Nixon again, will diasolve itself. Prom then tfn, the top level strategy of the Republic? Tarty will be formulated and executed by what will be known aa the "Na tional Republican Board of Kedi cal Examiners." At the present time, Dr. Paul Dudley Hagerty ia the leading con tender for the post of chairman. TREND. The current issue of "U. 8. News and World Report" carries an interesting article on the problem of Negro population in Washington. Pigures show, the article aays, that in a few years the Nation's capital will be more than half populated by Negroes. In 1M0, 28 per cent of Washing- 1 tort's population was Negro. In 1000, the percentile was 39. To ! day. it it 45. Poultry Cost Should Be Cut If Tar Heel poultrymen are to compete successfully for the con ?umeri' dollar*, they muat strive (or the greatest efficiency possi ble. They can do thia by cutting production coeta to the minimum, accoi d.nu to K. 8. Dearalyne of (he Mate College poultry science department. One of the flint places to start achieving this efficiency is with the feed which represents about I SO per cent of the cost of poultry I production. Dearstyne estimates < that around 2V4 million dollars woith of feed s year ia lost through ! waatage by North Carolina poultry- ] men. Much of thia feed waatage ia ' caused by - improper construction of feed hoppers. In the process of eating mash, chickena "bill out" a certain amount of feed. Thia in variably falla into the litter about the hopper and ia lost. Properly constructed hoppers esn cut this j loss. Many poultrymen put too much i feed in the hoppers. Dearatyne 1 emphasizes that the hoppers should I not be over two-thirds full. Improper storage of feed may bring about heavy losses. Sacked feed stored on concrete, dirt, oi wood may absorb moisture, bringing sbout decomposition, ran cidity, and moldiness. Such feed eaten by chickens may bring about severe digestive upsets. Sacked feed should be stored on slatted racks about eight inches above floor level. Constant war should be waged againat the rata and mice, which relish poultry feed. THIEF REPEATS New York ?
