In Several Counties
RALEIGH, November 24 Syph
ilitics refusing to . take treatment
have been arrested and jailed in
several counties, Dr. Carl V. Rey
nolds, state health officer, has been
advised by local health board
heads. He recently gave out an in

of Section 3, Chapter 206, Public
Laws of 1919, which provides that
if a person is known to- have
syphilis he or she may be cited to
appear and take treatment. Those
who fail to do this may be jailed.
Arrests already have been made
in the Chowan-Bertie health dis
trict, and in Franklin, New Han

ed to follow where patients are
notified and fail to appear.
White people, negroes, men and
women are all being made subject
to the law, it is disclosed in let
ters from health officers. Some of
each have been placed in jail.
In some instances the response
has been so satisfactory that it
was not necessary to make any ar
rests. However, the health officers
indicate they mean business and
will enforce the law more rigidly
in the future.

Federation Poultry Expert
Discusses Shortage of Eggs
ASHEVILLE, November 24
Western North Carolina, which now
imports nearly -as many eggs as it
produces, offers a splendid oppor
tunity for poultry development, ac
cording to i'aul A. Raper, director
of the poultry department of the
Farmers Federation, Inc.
The climate and other conditions
in this section, Mr. Raper said, are
favorable for poultry raising and
egg production; but what is even
more important, there is sufficient
local demand for far more eggs
than are now produced in the 18
western counties. This means, he
pointed out, that the poult ryman
has a home market and should not
have the expense involved in sell
ing his output in distant cities.
Mr. Raper, a native of Davidson
county and a graduate in the class
of 1928 at N. C. State college, be
came director of the Farmers Fed
eration poultry department October
1 after resigning as poultry market
ing specialist of the Maryland Ex
tension service. His wide experience
and outstanding record in poultry
improvement and marketing in
Maryland were the deciding fac
tors in his selection as director of
the Federation's poultry activities.
After spending the past month
looking over the field, Mr, Raper
said he was thoroughly convinced
that this section is ideally suited
for egg production. He leans to
the belief that the best course to
be followed in development and ex
pansion of the poultry industry in
the western counties lies in-, im
provement of breeds and increasing
the size of farm flocks. According
ly, he plans to spend much of his
time in visiting farmers and small
flock owners and helping them to
flood waters are evacuated from their inundated homes by a rescue boat
homeless persons waited for the waters to subside before returning to
British Liner
VdVf ' n Y r " ittf-
improve their flocks. -
The 1935 farm census placed egg
production in the 18 westernmost
counties at 4,914,272 dozen-. Mr,
Raper estimated that the demand,
based on a per capita consumption
of 250 eggs a year, at , 8,739,140
dozen. This is 3,844,874 dozen more
eggs than produced in 195. Itie
total consumption figure estimated
by Mr. .Raper provides eggs not
only for the resident population,
out also for the transient popula
tion and for hatching purposes.
"If Western North Carolina is
to become self-sustaining from the
standpoint of eggs and poultry" Mr.
Raper said, "we will have to pro
duce more than 100,000,000 eggs an
nually, which means an increase in
our present production of over 40,
000,01)0." "The value of eggs produced in
Western North Carolina for 1935
was slightly less than $1,000,000,
based on an estimated average
price of 20 cents a dozen. As West
ern North Carolina produces only
60 per cent of our total require
ments, making it necessary to im
port into this area over one-third
million dozen eggs annually, our
Western North Carolina: farmers
can easily increase their gross
farm income from eggs alone by
more than three-quarters of a mil
lion dollars annually.
Thanksgiving Feast For
Army and CCC Camps
A tradition as old as the Army
itself was "carried on" at every
post and CCC camp located in the
eight southeastern states compris
ing the Fourth Corps area when on
Thanksgiving day every man in the
fighting forces of Uncle Sam and
't .
the lads in the . CCC sat down to
a meal fit for a king.
According to an announcement
made by Major General George
Van Horn Moseley, commanding
the Fourth Corps area, the quarter
master contracted for and delivered
to the various organizational mess
es, some 11,750 choice turkeys,
weighing from 8 to 21 pounds each.
The company mess sergeant, who,
ander supervision of the mess of
ficer, provides three well rojunded
and balanced meals ' per day on a
daily allowance of approximately 50
cents a man, has a lot to be thank
i'ul for on Thanksgiving day. Con
gress, realizing that an Army fights
jn its stomach, has provided an
additional allowance for each soldier
;n Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Old soldier and recruit shared
jqually. in the bountiful meal pro
ided for , this festive occasion. At
rort Moultrie, S. C, Fort McPher
,on, Ga., Fort McClellan, Ala., and
i;ort Bragg, N. C, were assembled
;ome 500. recruits who under pres
ent orders will sail from, Charles
on, S. C, for Hawaii on the trans
port Chateau Thierry on or about
December 10, 1937.
The enrolled member of the CCC
is authorized the same allowance

Per Cent More Cash
A 23 . per cent increase in the
cash income of . Northj Carolina
farmers during the January-September
period of this year over the
same period a year ago has been
noted by crop statisticians.
In a report to the N. C. State
college extension service, the feder
al bureau of agricultural economics
pointed out that the total cash in
come during the first nine months
of 1937 was $117,389,000.
The first nine months of 1936
brought North Carolina farmers a
cash income of $95,786,000.
Through September, 1937, the re
port said, farmers of this State re
ceived $87,685,000 from the sale of
principal crops,' $17,699,000 from the
sale of livestock and livestock pro
ducts, and $12,005,000 in government
AAA payments.
Not counting AAA payments,
North Carolina farmers received
$105,384,000 from the sale of crops
and livestock, while in the same
period last year they , sold $91,996,
000 worth of crops and livestock.
This meant a 14 per cent increase
in cash income aside from any AAA
paymefnts received.
