FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1938 KEEP LAYING PULLETS WARM Owners of poultry flocks are getting ready for the winter. It is the winter layer that pays the feed bill, plus something for the bank account. Therefore, clean and thoroughly disinfect the laying quarters. Repair the windows and replace muslin where needed. Pul lets should be placed in their new quarters before they are very far along in production. Plenty of fresh clean water—often a neg lected part of the ration—is neces sary to good egg production. GRADE YOUR EGGS BEFORE MARKETING Egg grading is not only practical and profitable, but it soon will be an absolute necessity if the egg industry is to go ahead. The pur t chasing public is beginning to de mand a quality graded egg and the producer must, sooner or later, familiarize himself with standard egg grades and qualify as a pro ducer of such a product. Not only do eggs of known grade command the high price on all markets, but the grading gives the producer an opportunity to cull his flock to better advantage and save only those hens that are producing the best eggs. (Grade A eggs weigh not less than 2 ounces per egg.) AG DEPARTMENT VISITED BY DISTRICT SUPERVISOR Mr. E. N. Meekins, District Sup ervisor of Vocational Agriculture visited Wakelon Department on Tuesday. He was pleased with the rapid progress made in the con struction of the new Vocational building, and was checking over some minor changes in the plans which we thought advisable. STATE SENIORS VISIT HERE For the past few weeks we have bad seniors from State College visit our classes to observe the work being done. We are always glad to have visitors, and wish that more of the patrons would come. ANYONE CAN GROW CERTIFIED SEED Any farmer or anyone interest ed in the development of superior crop seed may become a member of the North Carolina Crop Im provement Association and grow certified seed. But it is necessary to belong to the association and to meet its rigid requirements be- fore your seed will be certified and permitted to carry the offi cial blue tag’ of the association. A. D. Stuart, seed specialist of the Crop Improvement Association at State College, tells you how to produce certified seed: First, obtain planting seed ap proved for certification by the North Carolina Experiment Sta tion at State College. This pro vision is made to protect farmers from varieties that have not been tested for adaptation in this State. After planting, the seed must be checked in the field by a repre sentative of the N. C. Crop Im provement Association and found true to type for the variety, free of noxious and common weeds and diseases that might make the seed unfit for planting purposes. After the seed are harvested, germination and purity tests are made by the seed analysts of the State Department of Agriculture to i I. & M.INTIRE determine whether or not they meet the rigid requirements of the Crop Improvement Association. The Crop Improvement Asso ciation, State College and the State Department of Agriculture are co operating in providing this better crop seed program for the farmers of the State. SALES CONTROLLED BY MARKET QUOTAS Cotton producers must work to gether if they want to reduce the surplus and make possible an im provement in the price situation, states E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer at State College. “The present supply of cotton is excessive and unless adjust ments are made the surplus is likely to get larger,” Floyd says. ‘The AAA farm program provides marketing quotas as a means for controlling the amount of cotton to be marketed. Without quotas in effect, however, it would be possi ble for non-cooperators to offset the adjustment efforts of their neighbors.” Marketing quotas were provided in the Agricultural Ad justment Act so that farmers could adjust surpluses when the latter threatens to drive down income. Floyd points out that with quo tas in effect the cooperator can sell all the cotton he produces in 1939 without penalty. On the other hand, the farmer who overplants his cotton acreage allotment will be encouraged to hold from the market all cotton produced in excess of his farm’s quota. All cotton sold from the 1939 crop above the quota will be subject to 3 cents a pound penalty. The referendum on cotton mar keting quotas will be held Decem ber 10. All farmers who produced cotton with a staple less than 11-2 inches in length in 1938 will be eligible to vote. SEENANpEARD J. B. Comer, Jr., lamenting that his wife, in an effort at economy, had taken his work suit and tried to make herself a dress of it. The result was not what she had hoped for, and now neither of them can wear it. Perhaps they can again cut it down and make the baby a cloak. . . .

New hair-dos that are at times extreme ly becoming; at times merely in style. . . . SOME BOOT! In front of Antone's Department store is a big boot, so large that Book said he got in it. It stands nearly three feet tall and the size is that of a No. 45 if there is any such size. We would like to see the Cinderella that wore the little slipper stand alongside the fellow THE ZEBULON RECORD this boot would fit. And would we hate to have him give us even a gentle kick! !
