Critics In Miami
Blasted By Commander
(From Associated Prass)
Miami Beach, Fla., Feb. Sth. ?
Several resident* of Miami Beach
filed written complaint* recently
about the early morning singing
of the troops in training here.
Today they received their am*
wer from CoJ. Ralph M. Parker,
commanding the Miami Beach air
base command.
Said Colonel Parker in an open
letter:
"The singing will continue.
"Moreover ? please arise at the
first sound ci military activity
each morning and get "down om
your knees with all the members
of your household who are dis
turbed thereby, and offer thanks
to God almighty, with me and ail
the rest of us, that those are
Americans singing American songs,
and nnt Germans or Japanese
singing victory songs in American
streets."
More Poultry
Needed ; Macon's Quota
130,968 Chickens
Kvery farm family should have
a good toying flock of poultry,
anil increase production as a pat
riotic duty, says Sain Memlenhall,
County Agent.
"Our country needs more . egg*
arid more meat. This county ?has
been -iskid to produce 570,408 doz
en eggs. To do this 130, %8 chick
ens must he raised this year. There
is a shortage in all meats. This
shortage can be raisyed more quick -
K by an increase in poultry than
in any other way", says Macon's
farm agent.
There are families in the county
who do not have sufficient poultry
meat and eggs for home us^e. That
condition should mot exist in a
county like ours that is so well
adapted to the growing of ]x>ultry.
YV-hen chickens that have laying
clKiracteristics-are properly fed and
cared for they wiU lay practically
the year round which will supply
two of our most vital foods.
Chickens and e#gs arc the near
est thing to cash with more profit
than anything produced on the
farm. ?
Why Poultry Not Profitable
Now there are several reoisoms
why the poultry we have is not
profitable. First, good chicks from
high producing flocks should be
secured. Much of our poultry has
been inbred too long. One of the
best ways of raising baby chicks
is with a Hotne made lamp brood
er. A higher percentage of the
chicks will Jive a<nd if fed properly
they will reach maturity in a
shorter time, Mendenhall advises.
Neither small chickens nor lay
ing pullets will be profitable when
they are fed nothing but corn.
Equal parts corn and wheat are

Censor's Office
Instructs Public
On battle fronts every day men
risk their lives to discover the
location and strength of the mil
itary units of the enemy. Yet at
home, too many of us are present
ing the enemy with information
of the same military value, the
Office of Censorship says in a
statement.
This is the information which
newspapers and individuals are ask
ed not to tell the enemy:
DO NOT TELL the names of
ships upoin which sailors serve.
IX) NOT TELL the troop units
in which soldiers serve overseas.
There is no objection in reveal
ing that Pvt. John Jones is in
Australia or that Seaman Tom
Brown saw action in the Atlantic,
but there is military information
which endangers the lives of Am
erican fighting men in stating that
Pvt. John Jones, "Company C,
600th Infantry," is in Australia, or
Seaman Tom Brown, "Aboard the
U.S.S. Wisconsin," is in the At
lantic.
The Office of Censorship says:
"We ask editors not to publish
these troop identifications, and we
ask parents and relatives not to
reveal them. Don't give the enemy
anything that may lengthen the
war!'"
From March, 1941, to October
31, 19+2, the valivc of all supplies
exported under Lend-Lease was
$1,765,000,000 less than Mie value
of direct purchase exports to Lend
Lease countries.
American forces stationed in New
Zealand are supplied, through
Lend-Lease arrangements, with the
bulk of their foodstuffs, especially
fresh meats, dairy products, fruits
and vegetables.

better still, equal parts corn, wheat
and oats with a green crop of any
small grain, grass, clover or lespe
deza will make a fairly well bal
anced ration.
Poultry will not do well unless
some sort of shelter is provide^
which should be treated with burnt
motor oil and kerosene to cotrtrol
mites. The birds should be exam
ined frequently /or lice, and treat
ed with sodium fluoride. The
grounds and buildings where the
birds are kept should be kept
clean in order to prevent internal
parasites.
Orders for baby chicks sihould
be placed now. The Vocal stor.es

ihave agreed to supply any reliable
person with chicks and feed to
be paid for when tiie broilers are
sold. Local loan agencies will loan
money to reliable persons, includ
ing boys and girls, who need help
to start a flock.
By growing good poultry and
taking better oare of them, we
con add to our 'home food supply,
increase our cairti income and help
the war effort, besides make more
profit than on my other crop,

Winter Reduces
Egg Production
Cold weather, the enemy of high
ef?K production, has alretdy made
its presence felt in North Caro
lina poultry flocks, says C. F.
Parrish, poultry specialist.
Yet much of the damage done
during ..the cold months can be
avoided if the flocks are given
a small amount of extra core ?
just enough to make them comfor
table, and these "extras pay divi
dends.**
All openings and ventilators in
the laying house should be closed,
except those on the south side.
Should the front opening on the
south reach across the house, a
few feet at eaoh and should be
closed up. This wiH help to make
the house warmer and also to
keep out blowing rain and snow.
Should the house have two or
more rooms, a few feet on each
side of tlve partition should be
closed up, the State College
poult ryman suggested, so as to
make each room more like a sep
arate house.
The feeding of a mash moisten
ed with sweet milk or warm
water at noon will keep egg pro
duction up to a higher level. In
Fertilizer Changes
Are .Explained
Farmers of North Carolina
should not be inconvenience^ ? in
fact, tihey should be benefited ? in
by the restriction in the number
of fertilizer grades, says E. R.
Collins, extension agronomy lead
er of N. C. State college. The War
Production Board will allow only
18 fertilizer grades to be sold in
the state in 1<H3
"In the fertilizer year, 1<M0-41,"
said Collins, "there were 187 dif
ferent grades of fertilizer regis
tered and sold in North Carolina.
Many of the grades were so sim
ilar in analysis that it would be
practically impossible to show dif
ferences where they were applied
side-by-side in the same field.
"The last Legislature restricted
to a maximum of SO and a mini
mum of 35 the number of ferti
lizer grades that could be sold in
the state in 1911 -42. Actually, only
36 grades were registered and
sold last y,ear, "Therefore," he add
ed, " it is not anticipated that any
one will suffer a hardship by fur
ther reducing the .number of grades
to a well selected group of 18."
He pointed out that South Caro
lina and Georgia have only 13
grades approved, and Alabama has
only 4 grades.
The 18 approved grades were
selected with the idea of exclud
ing filler from the fertilizer, Col
lins explained. This will save
transportation facilities and bags.
"The farmer must realize," said
the Extension agronomist, "that
he will be buying, in most cases,
a higher analysis fertilizer. If
he applies it at the same rate as
in Wl-42, it will cost him more
to fertilize his crop. But if he de
creases the application he will get
the same result at about the same
cost. For instance, a man who
used 400 pounds of 3-8-3 test year
will get the same amount of nitro
gen, phosphoric acid and potash by
applying 300 pound* of a 4-12-4

There is a Show lit the theatre
this week to please any taste. If
you like murder-mystery, see "The
Glass Key." Comedy lovers and
Veroniaa lake fans will attend
the show Tuesday and Wednesday
nights. "1 Married A Witch." Pure
drama and excellent acting is the
attraction for "Life Begins At

Side Kids will fill the benches to
see the Owl Show Saturday night,
"Smart Alecks."
Top-rating priorities go to "Life
Begins At Eight-Thirty," aiut "I

ture mentioned should be rated
"Excellent," and the second is best
described as "Entertaining."
Ida Lupino and Monty Woolley

sorbing. Veronica Lake and Fred
ric March, ably adopting them
selves to the sophisticated non
sense of the Thorn e Smith tale
they depict, carry off honors in
"I Married A Witc!h."
"The Glass Key" is a gangster
picture. And again we have Ver
onica Lake; this time the male
lead is played by Brian Dontevy
in the role of an uncouth politi
cian.
It's a new brand of humor that
tthe East Side Kids bring the thea
tre in "Smart Alecks." The picwre
is uight, entertaining, and it de
