The Feed Division of the U. S.

He reported that tax tag sale.s from last July 1 to February 1 Indi cate that only 63,000 ions of cotton seed meal were sold during the 27- month period, as compared with 9.3,- 000' tons fo** the same period a year earlier. iHe said that the government has promised to send about 200,000,000 bushels of wheat to Europe,” prefer ring to help keep alive star;/lng hu man beings there rather than to feed this wheat to poultry and livestock here in America. iHe said that since Canada aud Ar gentina are also aiding Europe to the I'xtent of about 3'60,060,000 bushels of wheat, there Is little need to look to their granaries for assistance.

( SELF m REGULATION ) Jttua Ot'i. /JccompUiUed The chief function of the North Carolina Committee of the United Stales Brewers Foundation is to see to. it that beer is sold in strict accord with public senti ment and with the high standards of the brewing industry. Trained field men employed by the Committee tour the state constantly, observe actual retail outlet operations, report their fin'dings. Where necessary, the Committee makes suggestions for improvement. As most beer retailers believe it sound business policy to operate properly, such suggestions are us ually accepted readily. However, if cooperation is not forth-coming, the proper authorities are notified. Thus strict supervision of beer retailing and doee cooperation with law-enforcement authorities assure the maintenance of wholesome conditions wherever beer is sold. J(oTth Carolina Committee United Smtes Brewers Founmtion r ML r* Epgar H.Baim, State Director 606*607 Insurance Bl(ig..Ra1eighJN.C Decreased Demand For Poultry, Eggs Marlon Dllday, poultry marketing specialist with the State Department of Agriculture, finds that the state poultry Industry is suffering 'from declining prlcco and decreased de mand for fryers, broilers and eggs. iDllilay asserts that prices for fry ers and broilers have dropped with in the past two weeks 1>9' cents per pound, with prices In general run ning from 19 to 2'2 cents. Pointing out that poultry produc ers are in a quandary as to whether to sell now or gamble on a greater, demand and a reduction in the mar kets glut with the next two weeks, Dllday states that there are 200v000, broilers and fryers In Chatham coun ty alone now ready for market. "Howovor, with poultry feed)— when they can get it—costing from $3.86 to $4 per lOO-pound bag, poul try producers 'aro caught' between low prices on one hand and the scarcity and high price.j.of feed on the other,” says, DUday., He explains that since broilers -and fryers de crease In value with age, they should be sold as soon as possible. Dllday declares he can offer no oncouragemen regarding he poultry situation at this time. He believes that the rapid movement of poultry to market, coupled with the feed sit uation, would in all probability cre ate a scarcity of poultry and eggs within the next 8 to 10' months. of every modern farm. “Frequently, equipment'repair is left untl Just before the gear is scheduled to be used. In many cases this means not only that a new ma chine must be bought in order to meet the seasonal work load, but also that a good piece of used machinery Is discarded. The ru.sh season for Sparc parts is Just,before planting lime. Mailing delays and the con signment of wrong parts make It doubly essential that orders be placed curly. “In regard to painting, polishing and greasing ^implements. It may be safely eaid that there is no more .Im portant Job on the farm. Dlterally, machines suffer from ‘ab-use* rather than use.” TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS Answerwl at''State College Forests Community’s ‘Top Asset/ It’s Said “One of the most valuable assets of this community Is Jits tlmherland. Many other natural resources may bo oihau.®.ted In time, but properly managed forests and farm woodlots will go on yielding wealth as long as there aro men on this' earth to garner it.” This statement was made this week by the local Pulpwoodi Commit tee, in calling attention to the fact that pulpwuod Is another cash crop for the farmer aud timborland owner, “Once wo thought of forests chief ly In terms of timber," the commit tee said, “a crop which could be har vested only once in a generation. To day, through the medium of pulp- wood, forests and farm woodlots yield paper, shipping containers, plastics, textiles, chemicals, building materials and countless other useful materials, "Furthermore,” ‘ the committee pointed out, “pnlpwood operations Increase the value of remaining tim ber by thinning stands. Thus, by the proper management—a knowledge which can be gained by consulting the forester or county agent—rour forests can yield a cash crop period ically, and every year become more valuable. “'Proper utilization of our forest resources will benefit all the people of the community through previdiug more income for the farmer and land owner, more jobs and more industry throughout this community, the state and the nation," the committee’s statement concluded. Last Call to Fix Farm Machinery Declaring that the condition of 'North 'Carolina farm machinery to be used In the production of this year’s crops Is even more vital to farm efifl- ciency than In war years, Agricultu ral 'Engineer D. S. "Weaver of State College Extension Service has issued tho following advisory statement to farmers: "Now Is the time to cheek over all field eq'uipment which was used (luring the past season and prepare It for 1946 uee. There is more time for repairs during the next month before 'field work becomes loo (press ing and tho Jobs can bo done with a great deal more care. Repair work pays tremendous dividends.

Butter Production Is Now at Low Ebb Production of butter In December was at the lowest ebb since, 1920, and the output of creamery butter last month was 25 per cent lass than In January a year ago) dairy market ing specialists with the State Depart ment of Agriculture are Informed by the Burea'u of Agricultural Econom ics. Agriculture Department officials said that the "ularming” decline in the production of creamery butter in North Carolina and in other states is duo to the fact that butterfat now sells for around 90 cents per pound, v/hlle the quantity of butter that can be manufactured from this amount of cream brings the producer only about 4i6’ cents. iRetall pricee of butter under ceil ings now average about 55 cents a pound, according to reports revealed by the statistics division of the State Department of Agriculture. W. Kerr Scott, commissioner of agriculture and dairy farmer, ex pressed the opinion, that butter 'prices would advance from 15 to 20 cents a pound if the OPA ceilings were removed. He said that .prices might decline “to some extent,” in' mldijummer, as production of butter Increases. 'However, the Bureau of Agricul tural Economics said that butter pro duction m-ay rise abo'lre the 1945 level during the. second half of this year, since military and export de mands for whole-milk are ■ expected to be sharply reduced. Sharp Drop In Chick Output The output of chicks by North Carolina commercial hatcheries dur ing January was 27 per cent leas than the January ouput of last year and 8 per cent belo^’ the five-year (1940-44) average production, ac cording to^the statistics division of the Stato Department of Agriculture. The January output was estimated at 1,600,00'0 chicks, com'pared with 2,186,OOiOi chicks produced in Janu ary last year.' For the year 1945, the output of chicks In North Carolina totaled approximately 41,827,000', tho highest production' on record. This record output was 37 per cent above the l'9i44 production of 30,- 639,000 and 7 per cent greater than the 1943 production of 39,180,000— Need a LAXATIVE? sss Blick-Priught U I.Ututliy prompt tkerpwgii pcooonku asta40 i dps«a only' the next highest year on record.
