Buy Hatching Eggs at Home, Urges Mayfield Also Announces Courses in Poul try Work to Be Held at Vass and Pinehurpt As the season for brooding baby chicks approaches, R. L. Mayfield, teacher of vocational agriculture in the Vass-Lakeview High School, urges that every poultryman in the county buy his eggs at home, have them hatched at home and thereby build up a home industry. A large number of baby chicks were purchased outside of the county and state last year, ac cording to Mr. Mayfield, and he does hot consider this at all necessary, as he is of the opinion that all varie ties of pure bred (poultry as good'if not better than can be had by order ing can be obtained in Moore county. Either Mr. Mayfield or County Agent Garrison will be glad to put anyone interested in chickens in touch with Moore county breeders who can supply eggs from well bred and well mated flocks, and there is a hatchery at Pinehurst, set up for custom hatching, where these eggs may be hatched. Mr. Mayfield also announces that the Vass-Lakeview Poultry Associa tion is sponsoring six weeks’ courses in poultrry work to be held at Va.ss and Pinehurst. Vass, Lakeview and Cameron poultry men are requested to attend the school in Vass which begin on Wednesday evening, Janu ary 28, at 7:00 p. m', and continue j on each Wednesday night for six i weeks. Those from Aberdeen, South- I ern Pines, Pinehurst and Eureka will ■ attend at Pinehurst, beginning at 17:00 p. m. on Thursday January 29 i at the school building. A course will I be offered at Carthage to take care of the western part of the county. i SCHOOL MASTERS HOLD ‘ INTERESTING MEETING Page Three G. iP,.; - ■V‘_ law;.^ I io'na pc-- - tevn; ^ The School Masters’ Club of Moo.e !
