PAGE EIGHT The P.-T. A. Holds Final Meeting On Friday night, May 18, the Par ent-Teachers' Association held its regular meeting in the Forest City grammar grade building. The atten dance was swelled by the fathers who "counted double" because of their presence. Many children were also present, lending their enthusiasm to the success of the program. Mrs. S. J. Asbury opened the meeting with prayer, then asked that everyone sing the "Old North State song, substituting in the second verse "the Parent-Teachers forever." Mr. Charles C .Erwin, principal of the High school talked very enthusias tically on the topic of the garden project among the school children (There were fifty-eight pupils to take part in the contest.) After the talk by Mr. Erwin, the president presented the awards for the best gardens, for attendance, and for scholarship. It is interesting to note that all the prizes were manu factured of cotton. Mrs. Asbury gave a splendid report of the year's work in the association, after which Miss Agnes Barnes ask ed for the floor. Resolutions of ap preciation of Mrs. Asbury were a dopted. A copy follows : We, the members of the Parent- Teachers' Association of Forest City at the last meeting of the said or ganization for the year 1930-31, do hereby offer these resolutions: Be it resolved: Firstly, That Mrs. S.

Cheap summer cockerels may be 'caponized and sold at good prices in jlate winter and early spring when | other sources of farm income have i been exhausted. j "This ready money comes at a i time when it is most needed by farm ! families to pay pressing obligations • such as store accounts, taxes, car ! licenses and medical bills," says L. jp. Brumfield, county agent of Yad ! kin county and an experience hand !! in capon production. "Twenty-one ifarm families in Yadkin county hav ing experienced in capon production : in the last few years find them a , profitable source of income. How ! ever, it is not advisable to attempt ! the work unless one knows how and i when to market; has a supply of ihoiSe grown feed; is interested in jthe work, and has a suitable breec of poultry." Mr. Brumfield finds that caponizing j should be done during the latter part |of June or the first of July to bring ! the birds to maturity at the time ! mentioned. Light Brahas and Jer ! sey Giants grow into beautiful ca | pons by March when the price for ; this kind of poultry meat is at its i best. The Brahma possesses a long, j broad breast with deep, smooth meat j and grades prime or prime fancy.

COURIER This breed will weigh more at ma turity than most other breeds which may be caponized. The common Bar. j red Plymouth Rock' also does well. V Before a capon can be put into best condition, the body frame must be well developed and nothing helps in this like a good range during the growing period. This range should furnish shade, fresh wafer, protec ! tion from bad weather, a well drain ed soil free of disease, and an ample supply of green picking. After the birds are matured and near the mar keting time, Mr. Brumfield advises limiting the range and giving plenty of the fattening mash. \ The fattening period will vary from ten days to two weeks and no sales should be made until after Jan-1 uary 20 or later. THE CAROLINA INSTALLS NEW COOLING SYSTEM v.: Spindale, May 19.—New cooling, and ventilating equipment is being' installed at the Carolina Theatre. this week. The system forces 15000 cubic feet of fresh air into the thea tre a minute and is especially adapt ed for talking pictures, and is not to be confused with the old type equipment that simply stirred up t is air that is already in the theatre. It brings in brisk cooling currents of j fresh air that makes theatre-going in 1 hot weather a positive pleasure. ] NEWS ITEMS OF LATE INTEREST FROM OAKLAND Forest City R-2, May 19. —Mr. and Mrs. B.
