Poultry
Mutt Be Increased For
War Needs, Say
Leaders
Farmers ? men, women and child
ren ? many who ca.nnot , fight in
the from lines, can help in a large
way i*i our joint war effort. How?
Building brooder houses may be
as important as building a machine
pun nest. Putting 300 baby chiclcs
m that house may compare to
supplying ammunition to that ma
ehire jam. Caring for the chicks
until grown may be likened to
keeping the machine gun post mnin
ncd day and night while the e?n
emy is nearby.
T) ul time to build a brooder and
to buy chicks is vn late winter.
March chicks, or early April hatch
chicks grow into the best pullets
to lay eggs next fall. We say
"Better late than never" about
w plans. But this does not
apply to the. growing of pullets
for fall egg laying. There is a
best time to hatch and when
hatched that brooder must be
ready for the chicks. Brooders can
be built now in spite of limitations
on materials. Lamp brooders can
h** constructed cheaply, and are
very successful with small flocks,
up to SO chicks. For larger flocks,
a nock or brick broodre to burn
wood or coal will give good re
sults.
The Farm Security /\um in is na
tion can help farmers through
Joan for the purchase of chicks
and materials for brooder or poul
try houses.
Poult y can be mad,e a good
source of income to any farm
family. The (iovcrnment is now
guaranteeing* the price of eggs at
30c, which is a very fair price;
the price of poultry is also good.
All flocks should be culled and
undersized, imperfect birds, and of
all the old, beefy hens. These are
boarders and will never lay enough
to pay th,eir keep.
It will always pay. to feed a
good balanced ration a<nd have a
good, warm poultry house for 'your
flock. The best attention will pay
the most money in 'return.
The meat and the eggs are need
< ed? needed for civilians here at
home, needed for our fighting men
w'herever they are. Is your farm
turning out an appropriate amount
of poultry and eggs? NOW is the
time to get busy.

County War Board
To Aaaiat In New
Meat Control Plan
The Macon County USD A War
Board has been charged with two
responsibilities und,er new orders
issued by Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard in a move to stamp out
black market activities, according
to C. W. Henderson, chairman of
the board.
The three orders issued by Sec
retary Wickard provide: (1) that
all slaughterers including farmers
slaughtering for sale and butchers,
must operate under a slaughter
' jvermit system ; (2) that livestock
dealers must obtain permits to buy
and sell animals for slaughter; and
(3) that all federally inspected
meat packers set aside for war
uses whatever percentage of pro
duction is required from time to
time by the Food Distribution Ad
ministration for military and Lend
Lease needs. The first and second
orders ai;e effective at midnight
on March 31, and the third order
became effective March 5, he said.
l "The County War Board will be
responsible for issuing permits un
der the first and second orders,"
the chairman said, "Fanners who
slaughter for sale, local slaugter
ers and butchers will obtain their
permits from the War Board, as
will livestock dealers who buy and
sell animals for sfcuigter purpo
snes."
He emphasized that farmers who
slauf^htcr for home use are not
required to obtain permits, neither
are they required to obtain per
mits to sell live animals.
He said that the orders also
provide that farmers, butchers, and
packers who go over their quotas
within the next three weeks, before
the order becomes effective will
have these quotas reduced for
later periods. Livestock Dealers
will be required to establish inven
tories and keep complete records
of purchases and sales.
"These orders ar,e not designed
to work a hardship of these per
sons who buy and sell and slaugh
ter animals for meat purposes,"
Chairman C. ? W. Henderson said.
"They are being put into effirct
to eliminate black maj-ket activi
ties and to insure a fair distribu
tion to civilians pror to the time
When rationing of meat is started.
He said a check on amount of
slaughtering will be maintained
through the requirement that all
wholesale cuts of meat must be
stamped with the slaughterer's per
mit number.
"Congratulate me, Freddy. Last
night yoor sister pomised to mar
ry me"
"Yeah? Well, she promned
?ether that a long tun# ago,"

GET YOUR COAL SUPPLY
Coal consumers are urged to
place orders for their entire ?ext
winter's supply immediately, to ac
cept the coal as it can he de
livered, and to place it in protec
tive storage during summer months
when production and transporta
tion are more readily available.
GAS TO DRIVE TO WORK
Car owners who drive to work
and do not get enough mileage
fnom their "B" ration book may
now get additional allowances ? if
they show they cannot get to
their jobs any other way.
Application must be made ? to
local rationing boards and must
fulfill the following conditions in
addition to needing more gas . . .
1. That driving is between home
and a fixed place of work, in con
nection with their principal occu
pation. 2. That either a rid^- shar
ing arrangement has been made or
that the vehicle carries a full load.
3. That alternative transportation
is inadequate.
MORE RUBBER FOR RE
CAPPING
Owner-* of tires smaller than
7.50 x 20 now may get their cas
ings recapped with reclaimed rub
ber "eamelback" without applying
to their rationing boards for cer
tificates. This doies not relax the
need for contiued observance of
rubber conservation, measures. The
change was made to reduce the
demand for replacement tires by
encouraging recapping, which takes
less than haJf as much reclaimed
rubber as a new waT tire.
V-MAIL SAFER
More than fifty thousand indi
vidual V-Mail letters from Amer
ican soldiers in England to rela
tives amd friends in the U.S. were
destroyed when a Canada-bound
RAF plane crashed in Newfound
land. The original letters were re
produced at the Army Postal Ser
vice's V-Mail Station in England
and dispatched by a later plane
for the U.S. This incident shows
the value of V-Mail over ordinary
letters.
FARMERS GET GAS FOR SIX
MONTHS
Farmers may obtain gasoline for
their tractors, engines and other
mon-highway equipment for a per
iod of six months inst,ead of three
months, under a change in ration
ing regulations announced by the
OPA.
The change is being made be
cause of the variability of farm
ing operations which frequently
make it difficult for farmers to
estimate their requirements for
only a three-month period. It will
also saive th,e farmers time.
SOYBEAN SEED AVAILABLE
ProcMHri of toybwu and the
commodity credit corporation art
cooperating to make additional sup
plies of socman Med available for
planting the IMS crop. Supplemen
tal supplies will be available to
farmers from government stocks
at not much more than $2.S0 per
bushel. These stoclu are stored
in bins and country warehouses
in .areas where there was no froet
damage last fall.
CHANGES IN TIRE QUOTAS
The National quota of grade 1
passenger car tires for March has
been practically doubled. Th,e in
crease will take care of accumu
lated applications, but will not he
continued in succeeding months.
The quota of truck tires for Mar.
was reduced as compared with
Feb., but the truck tire rccapping
quota was increased.
PARTS FOR CRIPPLED
. RADIOS
North Carolina owners of radios,
regardless of their make and vin
tage, will be able to keep their
sets in repair when .the new Vic
tory Line of replacement parts
goes into production. Manufactur
er have started to schedule pro
duction . . . The Victory Line
substitutes a few types of each
receiving set component for the
great number produced in .peace
times ? Under the proposal now be
ing considered by the WPB, the
number of types of tube would be
reduced from 700 to 114.
STOCKINGS SALVAGED
Since the beginning of stocking
salvage three months ago, 12,532,
540 pairs of silk and nylon stock
ings have been salvaged by the
?women of America for war use,
and officials estimate North Caro
lina has filled her quota. In the
third period, which ended Febru
ary 15, 253,960 pounds of hosiery
were collected in stocking salvage
depots of thousands of retail stores.
This is an increase of 81.4 per cent
over the first months collection
figure, bringing the total up to
626,127 pounds.

Buncombe County, is helping solve
the mutton problem. Seventeen
ewes have brought 30 lambs and
he still has nine ewes to lamb.
There are 88 head of beef cattle
