Before thr first day's registrations had been completed, college officials announced no more rooms in the dormitories and railed ?n^r? o colkge, Meredith, for housing space. Approximately 800 women arrived on Monday, July 30, for the annual farm women's short course and on Wednesday more than 2,000 farmers packed and jammed into Pullen Hall to hear J. B. Hut on and D. W. Watkins of thtr tobacco and cotton sections of the AAA explain t?he new programs with these two crops. On Thursday at the annual meeting of the State Federation of Home Demonstration Clubs another 2,000 persons tried to find seats to take part in this woman's program. At the general meetings held each evening on Riddick Field, the" men and women heard messages from such speakers as M. L. Wilson, assistant secretary of agriculture; Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus; Dr. Frank Graham, president of the greater University; Mrf. Gordon Reid, president of the State Federation of Home Demonstration Clubs; W. Kerr Scott, president of the "Farmers' Convener ; Dr. H. A. Morgan, director of th_ Tennessee Valley Authority, and others. The program was well arranged with a variety of subjects on all farm and home matters discussed by practical farm men and women as well as by scientists. Dean I. O. Schaub said the gathering was very successful and stated that the men and women appeared to be more happy and prosperous than m many days past.

Cherokee Scout. " Murphy. N. C. ^ : Dea; Sir:? J : 1 On? r. ars qui:*. ' of * Ik these s bays r.b.ut a P. ?1 R.om. "*i > be or a not to be. th.it i- the bur:.ng quest- x ion". Talk pro an.; talk e n. mingl- a ed with burning: criticism. In this letter I shall not attempt to 1 | justify nor condemn the- aetior. f the c ; local Legion Post f r its part in th. f i affair, nor would I attempt to in- i ? fluence anyone in any way at all. I r i wish merely to state the fact? as they i e i are- j c. It appears to me that anyone inter-; i ested in the matter would wish to in- ? b form himself to the law governing, 1 the situation. This should be ea*y.! h In t?ie Legion organization here, the!5 question of operating a Pool Room;0 ; has come up many times, but for some 0 ; reason it has been voted down each ? time. At the present time it came up J I in our regular meeting in th' pro- * per manner, was discussed, a motion t made, seconded and duly passed to * petition the Town Board to hold an * election to determine whether or not 1 the Local Legion Post might have F 'the privilege to operate or to super- a ?vise the operation of a Pool Room in L .the T own of MurnKv Of rour.^P I this statement is contrary to the be- ^ , lief of some who contend t?hat it was "railroaded" through a "flooded sea- ^ ^sion". I merely make this statment ^ jto clear up this point. Now, we have in the Post here those who are in favor of the Post ^ j operating a Pool Room, have j those who are bitterly opposed, and [then, we have those who are inaiffer- s I ent. However, tJie American Legion " I is a democratic body, and the major- I , ity rules. g Everyone knows that this is the P exact condition as applied to the citi- C zenship of the town. Some for, some g ;against and some indifferent. The ? only fair way is for the people of the v town to decide and let the majority e rule. * 1 find that a great many people a ! are un-informed. or have been mis- S informed. For instance; one lady : >ld me that ahe had the idea that a n j particular few of the Legion was go- n | ing into the Pool Room business for o individual, personal gain. Probably, s ->ht had never had the opportunity to n learn the facts. Others have never ' taken time and trouble to learn the I facts. Whether one is for or against j i th proposition, it is unfair for one p to form an opinion and to decide up- q I on a course of action until properly informed. i It has been said that the American J Legion is not a Religious Organization. This is true in some ways of looking at it, but one has missed a r wonderful experience if he has never ^ read the Legion's Preamble to the ^ (Constitution. One of the finest pieces of literature. n j 'Tor God and Country we associate ourselves together for the following 1 j purpose: To uphold and defend the Constitution of The United States of . Am.rica; to maintain law and order; to foster ano to perpetuate a one- ? hundred per cent Americanism; to pre- \ | serve the memories and incidents of ' our association in the Great War; ^ ! to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to State and Nation! tn cnr?K0? , .? | ! the autocracy of both the classes and ^ 'masses; o make- right the master of jr 1 might; to promote peace and good will ion earth; to safeguard and transmit ~ jto posterity the principals of Justice, ; Freedom and Democracy; to consej crate and sanctify our comrades by I our devotion to mutual helpfullness". > The avowed purpose of the Legion is "SERVICE to community, state iand nation". We of the Legion wear the badge signifying SERVICE. At the time when the Local Associated Charities were operating here, it gave me a great deal of pleasure, as Post Commander to be able to pay into the Associated Charities treasury, in oneyear the sum of one hundred twentyj five dollars. One micht ?#v ? ? vmj o n?S a smal matter, but when compared with I that whioh other organizations gave 1 it is about one-hundred per cent. 1 I merely mention this incident to sub- I stantiate the claim that the American I Legion is a service organization. It 1 tries to help the War Veteran by I legislation and otherwise. It is taking I care, of its own efforts, 35,000 orp- I hans, results of World-War. It helps I in any way it can. For instance, I there was the man who came to me I completely out of luck. He had been I working in Florida on a Government I project. When the job was done he I made application, and secured anoth- I er job in Virginia. He bought rail- 1 road tickets for himself, his wife and I two children. They got as far as I Atlanta, and while waiting for their I train, the wife took the smallest child I over to a cafe to buy a glass of milk. I IN the confusion some one snatched g rolina S AMERICAN >N ON POOL ROOMS ier pockttbook. containing tkcir tick-' ts and money. So, they hitch-hiked o Murphy, and of course, being a Tcrld-War Vet ran. he hunted up a epres. ntative of the Legion. V\ e =cured for them lodc;ng for the night nid transportation to AshevilL. There was the man with his wife who had n:e kind of hard luck and drifted nto Murphy. The wife had completey worn her shoes out hiking. It was old weather. W- did what we could or them. I went out and begged a air of shoes for the liule lady. A j nan came to me and said he had be.n mployed by the Government out in ne of the North Central States. The ob was completed and they had not teen able to save up anything to tide hem ov-r until another job could be lad. They lived in a garage, or some uch place until transportat'on could <e had so that the wife and children ould gc east to her parents. This ak-n car? of, he had started out on lis own. and hitch-hiked to Murphy, le landed here on one of the coldest lays of the winter. The Legion Post, is has always been the case, had no und to take care ot such cases, so the inal results, I had to pay for his super, lodging and breakfast, and minged to help him get transportation o Asheville, where he hoped to reeive more aid. Now, we admit that aany of these cases are not worthy, lany times, there is no plausible eason why one should be drifting round over the country depending pon charity. But the fact remains | U-* .1 J. tt, ? ? .. mej uu Litai, ana mere is simply ' othing to do but see that they are I a red for. With t.h?- if aU -i j i o-~*M " V?*U, UIU j tory, money, money, money.

As I said in the beginning, it is1 ot my intention to make any statement that might influence anymore, r which migh imply that I am, peronally, voicing my sentiments in the latter.

K? From Better Poultry B The rapid increase in egg production B over the ncrease in the number ot hens in North Carolina during past decade attests a decided lirpr,;,. ^B nient in the quality and tnanagemem of poultry flocks. " , Yet there is still m,re room W development in the State's poultry ij. dustry, says Koy S. Dearstyne. ha; B of the State Colege poultry depar.ment. 51 The income ot $13,200,000 froa H the sale of chickens and eggs in 1335 ^Bl is far short of the figure which caa Hr be reached by taking full advantage B1 of the opportunities awaiting develop. B1 ment, he continued. The chief factors in thr further development of poultry raising are: increasing the size of farm floeks. developing commercial poultry farms, ^Es developing local markets and bitter H means of reaching national markets, B. improving the quality of egg and fowls sold, reducing poultry mortality, Bf and exercising more care in breeding, K feeding, and general management. The size of most farm flocks |B. should be increased, Dearstyne said. Too many farmers have only small B^ flocks to supply eggs and birda only Br for consumDtion on in- ' Th? fig money-ma?ving po.-*sibilities of poultry B are all too often overlooked, since H* it is hard to realize any appreciable B profit from small, neglected flocks. ? Careful grading and marketing 0f m nigh grade eggs and birds wiU build B" up the demand for North Carolina ft proudcts. Poultry mortality, however, is pro- p bably the most acute problem facing flf the industry, Dearstvne said. Special B work is being done in this field. But 8? more cooperation from small growers Ik is needed. An increase in livability Bf will reduce overhead costs and leave Hr' more net profit for the poultrymen. o gp Question:?When should the laying jig flock be culled for low producing |B' hens? B Answer:?The most rigid culling should be done at the close of the Sj| laying season which usually occur.* from July to November. However, the flock should be closely watched M through the latter part of July and B all of August. It is at this time that ^B the non-paying hen goes into a molt Ml and these should be culled from the ^B flock and disposed of as soon as pro- ^B duction ceases.
