11 nome Demonstration Department Conducted by MRS. ANNA LEA HARRIS Rockingham. Richmond County kj A. - Vi i - v SPRING IS COMING. 1 w I 9 )1 Fern Demonstration Department One of the surest signs of the passing of winter is the epidemic of "chicken fever" which seizes onr country at this season each year and rages with such fury for several months. Ail of us have had an at tack of it at some period of our lives, and who could criticise us for it, af ter seeing the flocks of "biddies eonttpred over the country. This is nne eDidemic we should not fear but rather cultivate, as it holds urnnderful nossibilities for the per son who is willing to give it the prop er attention. Many people will tell vnu there is nothing to it, but did vou ever stop to consider how many necessities the "chicken and egg furnishes in most of our rural homes? The person who will tell you there is nothing in it. is usually the person who had a "se vere attack of chicken fever" and want into the chicken business on a large scale, with very little knowl .Wo of Doultrv raising backing it. Then, as the "fever" subsided, thff baby chicks would be lorgowen arm left to grow up the best way they could. With little or no attention this business was expected to grow and flourish, and when instead the chicks died from inattention, they were readv to criticise the poultry business. Which was to blame, the 'business or the methods employed Just since the discovery of vitanv ines. have people fully appreciate the value of milk and eggs in the liot The consumption of these foods is increasing daily and it will be many years before there can be an over-production. At 'present Rich mond county cannot supply the de mand for eggs on the local market. Our neiehborine counties are ship ping these to us. We are as able to produce them as our neighbors and why should we not have the profit to be made in producing them, instead of passing it on to someone else? ''.'- Many boys and girls, members of the Poultry Clubs in the State, will testify to the fact that there is mon ey to be made in poultry, provided directions furnished by the State Agencies are followed. Poultry clubs are being organized in Richmond county at present and if your boy or girl is interested, see or write me at the earliest possible date, that I may give them their first instructions immediately. This work is offered to any boy or girl in the county be tween the ages of 10 and 18 years, This is the logical time to begin this work. Do -not wait until April or May, as it will be too late then. 'Anna Lea Harris, Home Demonstration Agent. Conducted by . W. M.' BARTON MONEY ON EASY TERMS. Mr. BouihtH' Remark on Cradit Corporation. On Saturday, Jan. 26, about 40 farmers and one business man as sembled in the courthouse at 2 p. m., and were addresed by Messrs. Jno, W. Boushall, President of the N. U Aericultural Credit Corporation, lo cated at Raleigh: and T. u. MCbean, District Director, Field Service of the Cooperative Cotton ' Marketing Association,. Paul W. Mack, District Field Agent of Cotton Crops for Richmond, Montgomery and Anson counties, introducing the speakers. Mr. Boushall explained that the Credit Corporation which he repre sents was organized specifically for the purpose of making funds of the International Farm Loan Bank more readily and easily available to mem' bers of the N. C. Cooperative (Jotton and Tobacco Marketing Associations, He announced that such funds will be handled if possible thru the local banks of the State, and said that institutions. Seven per cent per an num, without interest discount for 6 to 9 months, are the terms, with the privilege of renewing for two years in cases of necessity. Mr. Boushall referred to the fact that the farmer's credit circle will never be complete until this or a sim ilar credit system is made workable for him. He stated that this cor poration has no fight to - make on other systems, but that its object is to cooperate to the extent that ev ery bank may easily "have' ample' funds available for such loans to farmers for cash purchases of all production supplies, and thus save to the farmer in many instances 25 to even 66 2-3 per cent loss on such loans, to say nothing of his losses on being forced to sell his crops on dumping market instead of thru his association in an orderly manner. How to Proceed.. If, you want loans, see the cash iers of the banks that are' handling this fund. They will do the rest, but don't wait until you need the money to make your application. It takes a few days to put thru the deal and get .the cash. W. H. BARTON. WEEKLY CURB MARK'T REPORT Rockingham, N. C, Jan. 25, 1924. For this week County Agent W. H.
