Hints On Farm Flocks Given The farmer who keeps a farm .'kitk can greatly increase his lab or income per bird by getting rid of his "mongrel" birds, feeding a balanced diet and practicing care u! management, according to R S. Dearstyne. head of the "poultry department at N. C. State College Noting that it is a universal practice to keep a flock of chick ens on every farm, Dearstyne as serts that many of these flocks are made up of mongrel birds?the product of cross-breeding and in breeding for several years. Such breeding is not conducive to high ' quality eggs. Too often the diet of , the birds consists of table scraps and grain plus what the birds can I pirk up on the range, which also^ ts not conducive to a high rate of lay. Housing in many cases, is In-1 different. Dearstyne points out that eggs j from these farm flocks often find their way to market during the | spring of the year when most ! chickens are laying, and that the farm fiock owner, as well as the commercial poultryman. will do , well to produce the best eggs pos- I sible. Mongrel birds should be re- j I iljccd by purebreds or by care ully bred crosses, which would be teld for only one year Many farm lock owners like to reproduce heir own flocks in order to feavc i constant supply of young crack ns available. "This is underatand ible." Dearstyne says, "but it hould be realized that the chicks latched arc a reflection of their >a rents. Good parent stock is lecessary if the chicks are to live ind put on flesh economically." Miss Wilma Tate, a teacher In he Murphy schools, spent Thanks ;iving with her parents. Mr and Urs. W M.

C\ THE TRUMPET THAT PLAYED ITS LAST SENIOR PROM The couples stopped danc ing and gathered around the bandstand. It was always this way when Bob took off on a trumpet solo. The lean kid with the crew cut just had the feel of the horn. After the dance Bob gunned his car toward "Ham burger Joe's." He thought ahead to the crowded schedule for his dance band during the busy Holi day Season. Things were looking great. The blinkers flashed red at the railroad crossing. Beating that slow freight was child's play. Too late, *Bob saw a speeding passenger train hurtling down on him from the opposite direction ... A freight train whistle wailed in the night as a policeman picked up a battered trumpet and sadly shook his head. Hyde Insurance Agency Phone 145 Murphy, N. C.
