BUILDING NORTH CAROLINA
POULTRY INDUSTRY
During the past season the North
Carolina Division of Markets demon
strated to the farmers of North Caro
lina that poultry could be marketed
at a profit in carlot shipments and
that poultry flocks on the farm could
add materially to the farm income.
The next step is to increase the quan
tity and quality of these flocks. The
logical way to bring this about is
through the establishment of reliable
hatcheries to supply baby chicks to
the farmers. Early hatched baby
chicks in quantities are being priced
to producers by the large hatcheries
outside the state at present. The Di
vision of Markets advises those de
siring baby chicks for either broiler
or breeding purposes that we have
worked out plans for accrediting
hatcheries and breeding flocks of
standard bred poultry in this state
and that reliable chicks can be bought
fro mthese hatcheries.
The accrediting of these hatcheries
and flocks is under the supervision of
State Department of Agriculture and
when this service was worked out last
spring, the Department had in mind
the improvement of poultry breeding
flocks of the state as well as the suc
cessful marketing of poultry eggs. In
2 short while the Division of Mar
kets will be in a position tofurnish
the names and addresses of flocks
being accredited for the 1926 pro
duction of chicks.
DOUGHTON SAVES
ON LICENSE TAG
By purchasing tags of lighter
metal, which effect a saving both
in original cost and in freight. Com
missioner of Revenue R. A. Dough
ten Monday signed a contract for
500,000 automobile tags for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1928, at a sav
ing of $9,485 over the cost of the
same number of tags at the old rate.
The color of the new tags has not
yet been agreed upon.
The new tags will cost 8.462 cents
each as against a price of 8.356 paid
last year, both prices including de
livery. This means a saving to the
State of 1.893 on each tag.
The tags will be furnished next
year by the Western Display and Ad-
vertising Company, the same concern
I which had the contract last year.—

“RED TAPE”
New War Secretary
Intends to Simplify
Dept. Procedure
Washington, Oct. 18.—Existing re
gulations for the conduct of Army
administration affairs are to be sim
plified, and yards of red tape wrapped
about business procedure in the War
Department are to be eliminated.
The tape disposal and the simpli
fied regulations are to be brought
about by Dwight F. Davis, newly ap
pointed Secretary of War, through
approval he is to give to recommen
dations he made while he was As
sistant Secretary. Former Secretary
Weeks approved the recommendations
of Mr. Davis in principle several
months ago, but because of his illness
which resulted in his resignation they
were not put into effect.
Under Mr. Davis’ plan, a great
mass of detail and routine business
to which the secretary and assistant
secretary have been compelled to de
vote much time and attention will
be attended to by the various chiefs
of branches without reference to
them.
Mr. Davis believes the change he
has proposed in this connection will
permit him and his successor in the
assistant secretaryship, Hanford Mc-
Nider, to devote more time “to the
larger aspects of War Department
problems” than has been possible in
the past.
Mr. Davis also has worked out a
new plan for the preparation of the
Army budget which will be made op
erative when the budget for the fis
cal year 1928 is taken up. It is his
hope that this scheme will “eliminate
considerable waste motion and time
and will permit more leeway to chiefs
of War Department bureaus and
branches by giving them more re
sponsibility for expenditures.”

NEW HIGHWAY
LOOKS GOOD
Henderson - Clinton
Highway Ass’n. Di
rectors Get Busy
To the Editor: The directors elect
ed in the Henderson-Clinton High-
Way Association, covcied by the ter
ritory between Zebulon and Smith
field, together with the interested cit
izens living along the territory
through which said road will pass,
have become actively interested and
have procured in funds and labor sub
scriptions in excess of $2,500.00, to
be turned over to the county Com
missioners of Johnston county to
be expended by them in the con
struction of a link in the proposed
Highway through O’Neal’s and Wild
er’s Township in Johnston county.
The link of road to be graded will
pass over a territory of which the
road had been neglected for a num
ber of years, but when completed by
the Commissioners of Johnston coun
ty will tie into a good road from eith
er end and will complete an almost
straight road from Zebulon to Selma
and Smithfield, and will pass through
one of the best agriculturial sections
of Johnston county. It traverses the
section between O’Neal’s and Wilder’s
Township in Johnston county and
splits the northern section of the
county in halves. When this road is
completed it will be one of the big
gest assets to Johnston county, pass
ing as it does two of the spacious
county Junior High schools, located
in the northern part of the county,
making these school community cen
ters more accessable to .their patrons.
We have been Informed that the
link in said highway between Hender
son and Louisburg is now under con
struction, or about completed. It is
now up to the directors in Smithfield
and Clinton to wake up, and not allow
northern Johnston to get too far in
the lead; and you directors in Zebu
lon and Louisburg and immediate ter
ritory should bear in mind that Frank
lin county has a good territory
through which this road passes and
that the road will have to be put in
much better condition before the High
way Commissioners will take it over.
Let’s everybody along the line put
our shoulders to the wheel and help
the directors in the association put
this project across because it looks
like it is one of the most needed
highways in this part of the State.
Let’s all boost the Henderson-Clinton
Highway Association and encourage
its officers and directors in the task
that they have before them. W#
know the officers and directors elect
ed in this association are good, sound
business men, men who, when they
take hold of the proposition, strive
within all their power to make it a
success. Now, it is up to the people
along the route, and in the communi
ties through which the road will pass
to lend every effort with in their power
to Che directors and officers of the
Henderson-Clinton Highway Associa
tion, and if this is done there need be
no fears that the said road will a
State Highway with in 18 months.
