At the recent conference held
at Greensboro all worked dili
gently to find the facts regari-
ii)g the protein shortage pro
blem and at the same time ^0
protect the health of the bron is
and flocks. ,
.The conference group ua?nl-
moutfly agreed ' that all pouitry
raisers should be encouraged tn
utilice gijeen feeds to the full
est to help compensate for the
slightly lowered protein levels
and ; to help maintain better
health in the poultry flocks,
Brown said. It was decided to
st^ls a rigid system of culling
in ‘the flocks so that feed con-
sumpfion could be reduced and
efficiency increased.
tn line with the needs of con
servation, the hatcherymen of
fered to cooperate by discouriA-
in^ the sale of chicks intended
for laying purposes between the
dat^ of June 1 and September 1.
They felt that wartime needs call
for emergency measures aiul
tlfl^y planned to cooperate in
every phase of the program for
keeping the rapidly expandif?
poi^ltry industry of the stnte
on a firm and conservat-on
basis.

learn something might be done
about conditions, he 8aicf and
the men prayetf each night

Following an appeal by the

Supreme Court acted upon the
question of jurisdiction which

the IT. S. Court of Appeals fo'-

General of the Army, the Solici

Justice have concurred in the
view that the trial court was
without jurisdiction because of
a 1940 Act of Congress.
The NAACP did not enter this
