NORFOLK SOUTHERN R. R.
LEGAL BEER FOR
STATE ON MAY 1
IS NOW ASSURED
House Approves Senate Bill
Without Amendment
This Week
On and after May 1, next, it will be
legal to sell, buy, and drink beer in
North Carolina, the 3.2 per cent bev
erage being made lawful by the Gen
eral Assembly this week.
Representative Smith, of this coun
ty, and Senator Bailey, of this dis
trict, voted for the bill, Senator Mac
Lean voting against it.
No machinery was set up for han
dling the sale of or for taxing the
brew, but it is understood that a sys
tem of stamps would be advocated.
The beer bill passed the house as
it came from the senate last week
without amendment. The opposition,
confessing from the outside the fu
tility of attempting to defeat the bill,
cenered their attack on an amendment
to submit the question to a special elec
tion in June. The amendment was
defeated, 38 to 65.
Two other amendments offered in
the house were voted down over
whelmingly, and a third was with
drawn.
The most telling assault of oppon
ents on the measure was made by Rep
resentative J. C. Martin, of Bun
combe.
Mr. Martin, managing the opposi
tion on the floor, declared that the
bill carried no regulatory machinery,
and that it would permit beer to be
sold by anybody, anywhere, to any
body, anywhere in the state at any
time.
Although proponents of the meas
ure estimated that the beer tax will
bring in annual revenue of $1,500,000
annually, and this feature was stress
ed in the lengthy senate debate, there
was hardly an allusion to the revenue
angle in the house.

MORE POULTRY
IS FORECASTED
Price Outlook Is Termed
Satisfactory When Other
Prices Are Considered
'1'he production or poultry in North !
Carolina will be increase in 1033.
Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the State
College Poultry Department, says he
would not attempt to forecast the fu- j
ture, but for two years now poultry
men have received rather good prices j
for their products and have made some
money due largely to the spread be
tween the prices of feed and the price |
of poultry products. Barring an ex
ceedingly heavy production, which is !
not now apparent, the situation for
this year should not change greatly;
from that of the past two years. This j
means that the outlook for poultry j
could be termed satisfactory. Cer
tainly so when other crops are con
sidered.
But, Dearstyne says also, regardless
of price, more attention must be paid
to the breeding and feeding of the
birds if the enterprise is to be perma
nently successful. The individual
growers have control over these two
important matters and they have par
tial control over developing special
ized markets for their products.
North Carolina still needs more
birds and better birds, he says. This
means a higher production per bird
at a lower cost. Numbers of poultry
men now depending upon outside
sources for their breeding stock could
do some trap-nesting and thus de
velop future breeding stock.
Timing the hatches so as to pro
duce early layers and the clearing up
of para-ites are two other things to
which attention must be given.
The dole system of feeding is bad.
Poor range conditions will not de
velop the pullets properly. Ample
shade, feed and water containers and
green feed should be provided during
the hot weather usually occuring dur
ing the developing season.

Molasses Is Good Dairy
Feed, But Care Needed
Molasses of any kind is an excel
lenth dairy feed, but care should be
exercised in the amount fed and man
ner of usage. The best way to feed
is to dilute the molasses with one part
of water to three parts of molasses
and spray this mixture over the rough
age. Undiluted molasses may also be
poured over the grain feed, but the
former method gives best results. Not
more than one quart a day should be
fed each animal.
