V SUBSCRIBE TO THE BEACON
To Make Poul
try Shipment.
Last year eighteen of the cou
nties in the state participated in
the shipping of poultry in carlots
For instance, 212 farmers in
Beaufort county contributed 18,
124 pounds of poultry at a saving
of $815 21 or 4Jc per pound on
the carload above what they were
able to get in the way of prices
regulary.
The plan is to assemble a car
load of approximately 4000 live
poultry [hens, roosters, ducks,
turkeys, geese and guineas] mak
ing approximately 18,000 pounds
and then they are shipped to the
eastern markets, the poultry pro
ducer being paid cash for the
poultry when delivered to the
car at your shipping point.
This plan offers a cash price at
your shipping point and a splen
did outlet for the poultry on the
farms in thiseounty. Live poultry
dealers c>n in carload lots, pay
more for the poultry than dealers
that ship by express, because
poultry shipped by express costs
around 3&c to deliver.
A cat-load is expected to be
shipped from this county April
21, If you want to ship poultry
at this time let me know.
Delano F. Wilson,
Home Demonstration Agent.
CANCELLATION OF
MORTGAGES, ETC.
The attention ot the public is
called to the necessity of can
celling all mortgages, notes, etc.,
that been paid and are on record
in the office of the register of
deeds. It is distinctly to the ad
vantage of the person who holds
such instruments that they be
cancelled, and is a great aid to
officers in making tax charges
against such individuals.
This information is given to
protect the interest of taxpayers
of the" county, and if followed
will be for general good.
W. J. Jackson, Jr.,
County Auditor.
