The Coker farm has bred and THE FOREST CITY COURIER, FOREST CITY, N.

Bulwinkle, of Gastonia, Demo cratic candidate for Congress in the Ninth District, has accepted an in vitation to deliver the Armistice banquet address here on the night of November 11th. The Fred Williams Post, of the American Legion, sponsors annually '.a banquet on the evening of Novem ber 11th, at which time all ex-ser vice men and their wives are invit ed. This year's banquet will be held at the Isothermal hotel, and Major j Bulwinkle will be the speaker. j Get Hatching Eggs From Tested Hens Because of the prevalence of white diarrhea in poultry since this industry has become of commercial importance in the State, growers need to get their hatching eggs from tested flocks only. , This Js the opinion expressed by R. S. Dearstyne, head of the State college poultry department, who has made a careful study of the poultry disease situation. The control of white diarrhea is one of the chief poultry disease problems in the State at this time. This disease is caused by a minute germ which is trans mitted from hen to chick because tha | egg yolk forming the early food o* I the chick is filled with the germs. "It is probable that at least ten i percent of all untested birds are j carriers of this disease," says Mr. I Dearstyne. "Not every egg laid by j a carrier will be infected but ana lyses which we have made of 15,000 j eggs from such birds show the in i fection ratio to run from two to 40 [percent. Only 29.4 percent of 969; j eggs laid by these carriers hatched. Of the few chicks hatched, a great majority are born with the disease. Not only are the infected chicks sick themselves and fail to develop pioperly but they void great num bers of the germs and thus sprea.l the disease to healthy chicks. Tho ;e which are able to throw off the dis ease and grow into healthy appearing birds are usually carriers and thus keep up the spread. of the trouble year after year. Mr. Dearstyne says, therefore, it is of vital importance to North Car j olina's great poultry industry to get j rid of the carriers of white diarrhea. , The only way to do this is to apply the blood test and eliminate those which react. Post mortem examina tions of 1200 reacting birds maae at the poultry department laboiv ' tory show that 93 percent of the ; hens and 73 percent of the pulle > showed definite lesions characteris tic of the disease. DENTISTS TO MEET IN RUTHERFORDTON Second District Dental Society Plans Annual Session in November at Isothermal. Rutherfordton, Oct. 6.—The ex ecutive Committee of the First Dis trict Dental Society of the State Dental Association met at the Iso thermal Hotel at a dinner recently and decided to hold their annual fall meeting here, possibly Novem ber 19-20 th, 1930, with headquar ters at the Isothermal hotel.

May Feed Cows At Lower Cost Crushed wheat and barley is cheap er than corn meal as a feed for dairy cattle and is just as efficient in producing milk when fed pound for pound as a substitute. "Crushed wheat and crushed bar ley is selling from $8 to $lO a ton less than corn meal and North Car olina dairymen may save consider able money this year by substitut ing these feeds for the meal," rec ommends John A. Arey, dairy exten sion specialist at State college. "We have some late experimental data which show that' these two feeds have about the same milk producing value, pound for pound, as does the corn meal and the pro gressive dairyman should be quick to take advantage of the lower price of the feeds so that he may increase j his profits or be able to produce milk at a lower price." Mr. Arey suggests a good ration in which the crushed wheat and crushed barley may be used. When it is to be fed with non-leguminous roughage such as meadow hay, corn stover and silage, he suggests the following grain ration: 100 pounds each of crushed barley, crushed wheat, crushed oats, cottonseed meal and soybean or peanut meal. When the ration is to be fed with a mixed roughage such as alfalfa, soybean or cowpea hay together with grass hays and silage, Mr. Arey sug gests leaking it by mixing together 100 pounds each of crushed barley, crushed wheat, crushed oats and cot tonseed meal. If the crushed wheat is not available, an extra 100 pounds of barley may be substituted for the wheat in each of the above mix tures. In both of the mixtures, Mr. Arey recommends the addition of one per cent of steamed bone meal. This is necessary to pfrovide the minerals in the diet of the dairy cow. * Base ball, goli and fishing equip ment.
