Early Hatched Chicks Are More Profitable Tar Heel poultrymen can earn ex tra money by starting chicks in De cember, January, or February, rather than later in the season, believes T. B. Morris, poulty specialist for the State College Extension Service. Early-hatched chicks, says (Morris, will come into production in the early summer when the old hens in the flock are slowing down in production. The young pullets will have a good size by the time egg prices start rising, since prices are usually highest from June 1 to December 31. Producing both early and late broods also will enable the poultryman to Imake better use of his buildings, equipment, and range, Morris points out. This will lower the cost per pullet. In addition, two broods a year will insure a more even supply of eggs to furnish the markets throughout the year. One question often asked about iearly-hatched pullets is: Don’t they •have a tendency to go into a molt during the fall? Morris says this is to be expected, but if extra care is given the pullets in the fall this prob 'VWS»WWVWWVWVWWWWWWVWW» ( SLASH COSTLY j / FUEL BILLS! \ I Enjoy a (leaner, \ warmer, safer home I f with \ VCHIMNEY SWEEP J fTST.iSr?

We can’t foretell the future but we can tell you this right now: You’ll look a long way before you’ll find a car that offers as much for the money as you can get in a 1950 Buick. Close to half a million of these cars have been built and sold this year. Close to half a million people have checked their features and prices against the field—and decided they’d better buy Buick. As to prices—they start down below some sixes. And whether you price the SPECIAL, the SUPER or the ROADMASTER, you’ll find, on a cents-per- BettetW . _ \ Ruick O HO* JUj sSSSas® 1 ’ 1 “ ' ' sublf* 1 * 1 ■ ■ fwne in HENRY J. TAYLOR.
