-.. .. Extension Dept. —Conducted by— E. S. MILLSAPS, JR. County Agent * Live Poultry Sale January 27 * We will hold a poultry sale, next * Wednesday, January 27, on the I Creamery grounds. Sale will start •at 8:00 a. m. and close at 2:00 p. ' m. Prices will be paid as follows, „ Heavy Hens . 10c Leghorn Hens.11c j * Stags . 11c . Roosters . 8c * Turkey Hens.10c j * Young Toms . 18c ► Old Toms . 10c • In regard to the turkey prices „ given above, I hesitated to quote them at all, but the state exchange 'states that this is all they can pay *and ship to the eastern markets. On the other hand, the Greensboro .Exchange tell me that if the farm -ers will hold them off and bring them in as they can handle them •locally, they will pay seventeen cents for hens and young toms, de livered to their place. I mention this so that you will understand, 'and can use your own judgment. There has been so much demand for a turkey sale that [ have given you the benefit of the information I have. Poultry Hints One of the first steps for 1987 with poultrymen is to put the brooder and brooder house in good condition, by thoroughly cleaning and repairing where needed. If you plan building a brooder or brooder house this office will be glad to furnish plans. The brick brooder is giving, the best results and uses home grown fuel. Egg prices have started down, which means that you should cull close, and give your flock careful attention, if you expect to make a I profit over the cost of feed. Use a standard mash from a reliable manufacturer, or home mix your feed. Also, see that plenty of fresh water is kept before the laying flock, and be sure to examine the birds and the house for lice and mites. Certainly, this should be done before brooding time. Save Thrifty Trees No farmer would think of taking his hoe and chopping out all the good corn plants and leaving the under-sized and deformed plants to produce his crop; yet, the same farmers are doing this with their timber. Right now farmers are cut ting fire wood and also flue wood, and many of them are cutting the nicest straight timber because it works easier. Lets leave this timber to make the future lumber crops, and use the broken, deformed, under sized or undesirable trees for fire and flue wood. Trees should be one of the farmers most valued crops, if properly thinned and cared for. Tobacco Seed Tobacco growers will soon be preparing their seed beds and planting the seed. Care should be used to be sure that you have the bed in a new place, or that the old bed is thoroughly sterilized by burning. It is then important to have your seed cleaned and treated against fungus or spore diseases. If you have good pure seed that you plan to use this year, bring, them to our office and we will be glad to clean and treat them for you. This will insure you a more uniform stand of healthy plants later. This service is free to those who are to use it. Care should also be given to the variety, as the increased consump tion of cigarettes has created a greater demand tor tobacco with wider leaves and thinner texture. To meet this demand, fc..

THE moon travels around the earth in a plane that is inclinea to the plane of our equator at an angle that varies from 18 to 29 degrees. Therefore, in any month, the moon may be seen at least 18 degrees south of our celestial equator, and, two weeks later, 18 degrees north of the celestial equator.

SURFACE OF THE AAOUTH AND PHARYNX’, WHILE OTHERS ARE PROVIDED WITH TEETH EVEN IN ,f %■ s£ Stem Oronoco; Virginia Bright Leaf; Jamaica Wrapper; Gold Dol lar; Bonanzo; and other broad leaf varieties. Several farmers have carefully selected seed of some of these varieties and have had them cleaned and treated. These seed were grown here in the county and j are being sold at reasonable prices.; If interested in such seed, we will | be glad to furnish you information as to where they can be secured. Terrace Chat Terraces built during the past; year in Randolph county have kept, thousands of tons of fertile soil at home during the heavy rains we have had this winter. It is a bold fact that the future of our farm and farm home econo mic status, depends, in a large de gree, upon the fertility of our soils. Dr. Frank P. Graham says^aA-aw j destiny is shaped and that nations ] rise and fall with the fertility of 1 our soils. History proves this fact, j and if history repeats itself, we are facing a problem that not only affects our personal welfare but shapes the destiny of future gen erations, not alone in rural areas but in urban areas as well. The spring season will soon he here and with it comes more cul tivated land exposed to the ravages of soil erosion. The county soil conservation association with the terrace equipment will be again in position to do this terrace work for the farmers, as has been done dur ing the past year. Any farmers in terested in this work should get in touch with this office at once, so as you might be in position to get this done when the equipment is near your farm. This machinery is too heavy to move long distances and if we have your farm early it places us in position to be able to route the equipment so as to be more serviceable to you and more convenient for us. Farm Records At the beginning of the year is the time to take an inventory of farm feeds and supplies, start a system of farm record keeping, and plan the farm business accordingly for 1937. Profitable farming is a business and any business worthy of full time employment is worthy of keeping a record of accurate re cords show profit or loss at the end of the year, as well as giving an analysis of the farm as to which farm enterprise is more profitable MYRA NORTH, SPECIAL; NURSE ALLEY OOP SO YOU ARE QUEEN UMPA AW' MS 15 TH' PRINCESS f~ WOOTlETOOT MY/ SUCH CHARM - IMG PEOPLE YEZZUM, 'SA WICE ^ CROWN-CUTE AS ALL GET OUT/ HMm-WE'RE GONNA .

Bull, president of the Na tional Piano Manufacturers As sociation has announced that the piano business duri«gfJ0S6 was the best in modern history. For the fifth consecutive year, production showed a large increase, he said, reaching a peak of 90,358 units, or 38.83 per cent greater than the 1935 volume. Inability to produce more pianos held the total under 100,000, Mr. Bull said. The industry ended 1986 with the largest backlog of unfilled ord ers ever reported. The 40 plants now in operation compare with more than 200 plants operating during the peak years of piano production, he said. Yadkin county fanners report re ceiving $8,750.18 in soil conserva tion checks to date for having co operated in the soil conservation program in 1936. Four fanners of Cmxfaerla^ county have set aside parts of their ' farm woodlands to be used for tree thinning and planting demonstr*. tions.
