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.
