USE SANITARY CARE 1 FOR HEALTHY CHICKS : Success or failure with the new j crop of baby chicks depends very oft- 1 en upon the degree to which sanita- 1 tion is applied. "There are some new ideas in j poultry sanitation at this time," saye j H. C. Gauger, poultry disease spe cialist at State College. "Methods - considered satisfactory five or ten i years ago cannot be relied upon now ] for parallel with the increase in poultry production ha3 come an in- 1 . creasing infestation of worms and certain diseases. Most of this has , been brought in with chicks imported from unknown hatcheries. Every poultryman will find it advisable to ? have his brooder house and equipment as clean and as free from vermin as 1 it is possible for him to get it" The two methods of disinfecting ? brooder and poultry houses are the [ use of chemicals and the newer use of j heat Chemicals, says Mr. Gauger, in- , elude all of the common liquid disin- 1 fectants. These are good but practic- , ally none of them kill the eggs of in- i! intestinal worms nor the germs of eoccodiosis. The much recommended hot lye solution does not kill coccidia. The germs of this disease can live in a five percent solution of lye at a temperature of 140 degrees. j For that reason ,Mr. Gauger rec ommends the use of heat A common blow torch or fire gun will do the work. If a poultryman does not wish to invest in one for himself, he may get his neighbors to go in with him to make the purchase. The flame from ; this torch produces a heat of from 1 1800 to 2000 degrees and will kill all living organisms with which it comes into contact. The flame guns use kerosene for fuel and are economical to operate. A small torch will flame a brooder house 12 by 12 feet in 30 minutes and use only one-half gallon of fuel. When used properly, there is no fire hazard, says Mr. Gauger. Selica News Notes Rev.

He had been in bad health for a long time| but on the 3rd day of February he went out to meet his God. He had served several years for Mrs. Vanderbilt as watchman, and when the government bought this property he worked for them awhile and his health having failed, he re turned to his home and worked on his farm. Weldon was a good t'armei and always made plenty. He was born in Mtchell county and at the age of seven years his parents moved to this county and settled on David son River. The best of all, in the lat ter part of his life he made his peace with God and said that he was ready to go. He leaves one brother, R. J. Eng lish, and two sisters. Mrs. John G. Neill and Mrs. Mallie Perry. He leaves his heartbroken companion and eleven children to mourn his loss. Eight boys are left to battle with life for awhile. They are, Harry, Tom, Lee, John, Neill, Harvey, Charles and Lester; three daughters, Mrs. Myrtle Anderson, Mrs. Louise Wilkey, and Miss Rachel. His many friends join his family in great sympathy in their trouble and trials, and God will help in every time of need. Funeral services were conducted in the Baptist church near his home, by the pastor, Rev. D. L. Earnhardt and the writer. A large crowd attended the funeral. "A precious soul from us is gone, A voice we loved is still; A place is vacant in cur home Which never can be filled." ? W. R. WEST.

'REFERS SERVICE HERE TO VICE PRESIDENCY! frevard News Bureau ialeigh, Feb. 25 Governor Gardner is pushing away ;he crown of the vice presidency of ;he United States, which his friends ire seeking to offer him and in doing 10 expresses the feeling that he can 3est serve his state as a member of its General Assembly. Some of his friends see in his statement a desire if the Chief Executive to continue, bis political career, but in the humb- 1 ler position of one of the 170 mem-, bers of the state lawmaking body. i Referring to recent publicity that bis friends were promoting him for the vice presidency, he issued a state ment that he was not a candidate for any office and haB no part in any plan designed to encourage such a movement. , "My sole interest in public affairs is to give North Carolina the best possible administration in this criti cal period of which I am capable," said Governor Gardner. "I really feel that if I had political ambitions I could possibly render greater service to my state as a member of the Gen eral Assembly than in any other of fice within the range of my opportun ities for public service," the Chief Executive said. ? Ten times as many acres of les pedeza will be seeded in Wayne county this year as "during any pre vious year, finds County Agent A. K. Robertson. Irish potato planting has been started in Currituck county. The same acreage as last year will be put in this spring, say9 County Agent T. B. Elliott. OATS AND LESPEDEZA : MAKE FINE HAY CROP For an early hay crop, oats are best to plant at this season of the year and if lespedeza is seeded on the oats, a second hay crop may be gath ered from the same land this fall. I "It is an economic impossibility to buy feed for livestock with money | from low priced cash crops and not be deeper in debt at the end of the sea- j son," says P. H. Kime, agronomist of the North Carolina Experiment Sta- , tion at State College. "Early spring hay crops should be planted to furn- , ish feed for the summer months and fall hay crops should be planned for( at this time. These all should be planted on good land and fertilised." I In planting spring oats, it is neces- ' sary to prepare the land well, ferti'-| ize it and seed the oats at the rate of at least three bushels to the acre. The Fulghum variety is best for spring seeding. Feed oats are unfit for planting. They are usually northern grown and unsuited to southern con ditions. The earlier the oats are sown, the better, and in the coastal ! section the planting date should be | about the first of March. Lespedeza, says Mr. Kime, may be planted on the oats without any extra preparation using one to one and one half bushels an acre. The seed are I covered lightly with a harrow or may be put in with a drill. The Tennessee 70 and Kobe varieties make somewhat better yields of hay than the Common but the seed are more expensive. The Common variety will make a good hay crop on fairly fertile soils and the only Jabor or expense is to clip the CONSOLIDATION OF FEW COUNTIES RECOMMENDED Raleigh, Feb. 25. ? Efforts to reduce the number of counties in t.he state by consolidation of some of the small er counties are being made here by members of the legislature. Recom mendations have been made for con solidation of the following counties: Cherokee and Clay counties with Murphy as county seat. Graham and Swain counties with Bryson City as county seat. Mitchell and Avery with Spruce Pine as county seat. Henderson and Polk with Hender sonville as county seat. Alexander and Iredell counties with ' Statesville as county seat. Stokes and Forsyth with Winston Salem as county seat. Caswell and Person with Roxboro as county seat. Hoke and Cumberland with Fay etteville as county seat. Wilson and Greene with Wilson as county seat. Chowan and Perquimans with Ed enton as county seat. I Pasquotank, Camden and Currituck With Elizabeth City as county seat. If such consolidations were affect ed, North Carolina would become a state with 88 counties instead of its present 100. weeds once or twice during the sum mer. Lespedeza hay is easily cured and has a feeding value approximately equal to alfalfg hay. Alleghany sheep growers have or ganized a county cooperative sheep growers association to market the spring crop of lambs and wool. EAST FORK NEWS ! We have kept silent for some time . for we thought our couhty paper needed the apace for election news, and election news seemed to be on: the decline last week, so we venture to send in a few notes of East Fork doings. We are right at the old stand, and we suppose our conversations are similar to those of other sections. Naturally hard times struck us too. 1 Yet most of our people talk as if they were having something to eat and no one having to stay home for want of something to weir. Our farmers are keeping busy pre paring for a crop, and from the looks of work that hasbeen done, we think our folks will have something to eat next year. Tifenks to our good roads system the revenue officers couldn't get to our burg and none of our folks hap pened to be caught with the goods on 'em. So we are not worried as to how they are going to make a trip to court In fact, the most exciting thing that has happened since the election was an airplane passing over us last Fri day. I We've seen by the papers so many things happening that concern our schools, roads, ex-soldiers, etc. No doubt you've all seen them too. i Some of our men are working on ! that government job on the National Forest land. | It's funny, but it's an honest-to goodness fact, we know of both a republican and a democrat having work on the above mentioned job. Yes, and we know of some of both "denomination*" trying to get work and failing to land a job? how dis criminating. We saw an ad in The Brevard News last week that interested us very much. So when those shoes reach Brevard and get on sale at that store, we folk of East Fork are going to ask the merchant just to give us the shoes and not wrap them in paper. Rather than miss that op portunity to shoe ourselves, we'll wear them away from the store. Mrs. C. M. Dockins and son, Wil liam, of Augusta, Ga., and Miss Kathrine Davis of Pickens, spent last week at the Gravely home. Hiss Bonnie Batson spent the week-end with Miss Henderson. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hub bard, of the Carson Creek commun ity, a son, on Feb. 12th. Mr. Ernest Dub died in Miami, Fla., Christmas day. .
