Raise 19.2 Bushels Wheat Per Acre on Long Acre Farm -$ Keport Is Made on Small Grain and Soda Demon stration Near Here A yield of 19.2 bushels of wheat pel acre from a three-acre tract was reported this week by Tim H. Bowen tarmer of the Long Acre section, ac cording to W. s Moore, vocational agriculture teacher in the Plymouth High School. Mr. Moore said Mr. Bowen was fav orabt. impressed with the yield from the smail grain and soda demonstra tion although he believed the crop would have been larger if the seed had been planted earlier and more rain had been available. fhis is one of the few wheat crops harvested in Washington County." Mr. Moore said, emphasizing that this "should tend to show that our soils will raise the grains, and that the crop system of Washington County should include enough small grains to furnish the family and at least part of the livestock needs.’’ Mr. Bowen is of the opinion that 200 pounds of soda applied in two applications of 100 pounds each will be most profitable. Oats and soy beans were planted on the land last year. The soda was applied on March 2 and 17 and no other fertilizer was used. The tests returned the follow ing results: 100 pounds of soda pro duced 16.7 bushels of wheat per acre. 200 pounds of soda. 18 bushels per acre. 300 pounds soda. 21.4 bushels per acre: and where no soda was applied, the yield was 12 bushels per acre. Mr Moore said that the yield of wheat on heavier soils, such as those in the blackland area, would have been larger, but that the yield was a good average for peanut land. FOR SALE: MIXED PINE.

NORMAN, y 31 4t Commissioner Ask Poullrymen To Buy Belter Chicks For Increased Eggs Maupin Says Buy Only Cer tified Chicks Sired by Pedigreed Cockerels Here's a tip from C. J Maupin, ex tension poultryman of N. C. State College, to the poultry grower inter ested in increasing his egg produc tion: Buy only certified chicks sired by pedigreed cockerels The grower following this advice would boost his avers e flock produc tion by 25 or more eggs per hen an nually. Then. too. the general use of such chicks in maitaining the lay ing flock, together with good feeding, care, and mnagement would pro vide several million additional eggs a year for national defense needs. To qualify for the U. S Record of Performance Rating under the Na tional Poultry Improvement Plan, cockerels must be from hens laying more thn 200 eggs a year. The NPIP is a cooperative effort to improve poultry flocks. Because the sire an, lam are equal ly responsible for the level of produc tion in the offspring Maupin pre dicts ROP cockerel' or males of equally good perigree used in the average poultry flock, would raise the State's average annual production of 85 eggs per hen to 110 or more inis incerase, me specialist, saiu, is midway between average farm flock production and the production of pullet flocks from which hens are selected to produce ROP cockerels. One way to make certain that chicks purchased are sired by N. C. R.O.P. males is to get them from Certified or Verified hatcheries. County agents have available lists containing the name- of those ap proved hatcheries, or the informtion may be obtined from the poultry de partment of the College. -5 Services Next Sunday At Zions Chapel Church There will be services at Zions Chapel Christian church Sunday.

North Carolina, South Carolina and Maryland at the present time, according to Principal B. L. White, of the Sunbury school in Gates County, who spoke to the Lions Club here last Thursday night. The Ruritan Clubs were started for smaller communities back in 1928 and by 1930 Ruritan National had been chartered by the State of Vir ginia. and then it began the enor mous growth it has recorded in the last 11 years, according to Mr. White. One of the requirements of the organization is that one-third of the membership must be farmers, while the other two-thirds may be com posed of business or professional men. Ruritans operate in much the same manner as Kiwanis, Rotary and Lions clubs, with the exception that while the other service clubs usually meet weekly, the charter for the Ruritans requires that at least one dinner meeting of the club be held monthly. Mr. White left the Lions meeting immediately after adjournment for Roper, where he is assisting in the organization of a club for that com munity. CHERRY Mrs. J. A. Morris and daughter.
