Says Storage Os Eggs Influences Hatchability The hatching egg business in North Carolina goes on the year ’round and one of the problems of producers and hatcherymen alike is that of maintain ing a high rate of hatchability. R. S. Dearstyne, head of the de partment of poultry science at N. C State College, says many things go to make a high rate of hatchability. In heritance and individual characterist ics of birds, the diet, management practices, all are important. But there is another important factor—the care and storage eggs receive until they are placed in the incubators. Dearstyne explains that when hot weather sets in, maintaining a suit able temperature and humidity for eggs is a real problem. This is es pecially true in Eastern North Caro- a vtxweMwtMHjs ntfTCTAW\ /A/ n llfes iBl §f\ W' cwi&wcw/ 0 VOTE FOR U. S. SENATOR ALTON LENNON DR. J. A. POWELL, Chairman Chowan County Committee i lina where the water table is high] and where it is difficult to construct' an egg-holding room six to eight feet below ground level. I The best temperature for holding [hatching eggs is from 45 to 55 de grees, says Dearstyne. Fertile eggs start to germinate at about 70 de grees. The relative humidity should be about 75 per cent. As suitable below-ground egg-hold ing rooms are difficult to construct in Eastern North Carolina some other! approach becomes necessary. At the Willard Test Farm in Pender County researchers have solved the problem. They built, for less than SBOO, an in sulated egg-holding room with suit able cooling machinery. During the hot summer months last year the room proved its value. It is 75 by 10 by 8 feet and holds 50 cases of eggs. Oratorical Contest On TB Held In E. City An oratorical contest based on bet ter health was given in the cafeteria of the Bank Street school in Elizabeth City Wednesday of last week. The contest was sponsored by the Pasquo tank-Perquimans-Camden-Chowan Tu berculosis Association. First-prize went to Arthur Mour | ing on “Tuberculosis.” Tallulah White I won second prize on “How to Kill TB I Germs.” Others taking part were Mary Halsey, Carolyn Gregory and Shirley White. Judges were Mrs. Lillian Duers, Mrs. Kermit White and Mrs. Cecil Rowson. fINUB Anm j|p 2W XMy Superstitions, beliefs and legends about dogs are often so closely con nected that it is difficult to separate them. But researchers into ancient human behavior have found that some people in every section of the world where man and dog have associated have been superstitious about dogs ever since man adopted some form of worship. Because the dog was man’s first protection against unfriendly people and animals, he became, for many THF. CHOWAN HERALD. BDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1954. I primitive peoples, a device to drive away fears of real, potential or imagi nary evils. In the superstitions of many peo ples the dog figures as both a demon and a protective power or good omen. Many believed that the blood of a dog placed under the threshold was a sure guard against intrusion of evil spirits. And today in sections of the | rural South you see many bob-tailed | mongrels around the homes of some 'farmers. The belief still exists among[ 'them that if a dog’s tail is cropped, and the amputated piece buried under the steps of the house, that dog will never run away. Several of our Indian tribes believ ed that they could transfer the cour age and bravery of the dog to them selves if they ate dog flesh before i entering battle. This idea doesn’t) seem so far-fetched when you consid er that Henry P. Davis, sporting dog editor of Sports Afield magazine, has ' been asked by numerous educated and cultured sportsmen of today if they) could cure their dogs of gun-shyness!

S ;j iiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHmiiiiniiiniiiiiiiiniiiniiuiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiuiumiiinil by feeding them gunpowder. Perhaps the superstition that has the widest range in modem society is the belief that the howling of a dog is a herald of death. There are a numbers of versions of' this persistent belief: Two howls by a dog mean ? man will die, three howls mean a wo man’s life; dog howl when the Angel of Death goes by; dogs see coffins in [the air when they howl; a corpse will come from the direction a dog faces 'when he howls. This is pure super ' stition of course, yet I have seen brave men shudder at the eerie sound. I don’t particularly like it either. A dog’s howl may be caused by a number of things. Canine ears are quite sensitive and hi g h-pitched sounds often bring an immediate bay iing. Unfortunately for the sportsman, jit is often quite difficult*to break A dog of the urge to howl. Great men are they who see that . spiritual is stronger than any material I force; that thoughts rule the world, il —Emerson.'
