Basing his assumption on estimates compiled assumption on estimates compiled D , : n , by the Bureau of Agricultural * 1C" **UChanan And Cpl. Economics, Marion Dilday, poui- Hooper Meet In Pacific try marketing specialist with the State Department of Agriculture is of the opinion that turkey and chicken meat supplies may sea sonally increase from now until fall, but the demand will remain unusually strong because of the scarcity of other meats, the large Army purchases, and the high level of consumer purchasing ability. He said that farmers of the na tion will likely receive higher prices for chickens and turkeys in the remainder of 1945 than in the corresponding period last year. "The chicken and turkey de mand may weaken somewhat next year, as a result of some decline in consumer income and greater sup plies of red meat for civilians beginning in late spring next year. Production of both chickens and turkeys should be at least as large next year as this. Prices may de cline somewhat from 1945 levels. But the gap between civilian sup ply and demand for poultry is so great that a decline in prices, should it occur next year, prob ably would not be very sharp ? at least not until the fall of 1946," said Dilday. Production of chickens for sale as meat probably -will be as large next year as in 1945. With prices received for eggs at a high level at least until early 1946, commercial hatching operations are likely to be, a t least as large as^ij&^fe?fc6ft?& part of 1945, according to Dilday. , Turkey meat production ni 1946 may exceed the prpspective record output of this season. Production this year probably will be at least 10 per cent higher than the 547, 000,000 pounds produced in 1944. Favorable returns for the past threeyears will tend to keep tur key production at high level in 1946, assuming that feed supplies will be adequate. Civilian con sumption of turkey prior to the war was on an upward trend. This is expected to continue. The number of chicks and young chickens on the Nation's farms about June 1 was 621,000,000 birds, one per cent above last year. Based on past relationships, the number of hens and pullets on farms January 1, wil be about the same as or slightly arger than on* January 1, 1945. Commercial hatchery operations during May were 30 per cent above May 1944, and except for May 1943, were the highest ever reported. Largest in creases were reported in araes in and surrounding commercial broil er producing territories, especially in the North Atlantic and Middle Atlantic States. Processing of eggs thus far in 1945 has been far below the last three years. This is primarily due to the strong current consumer demand, and the resultant large reductions in dried egg purchases by WFA. No dried eggs have been purchased by WFA since May 5, and eotttracW have boon let for delivery after June 30. Commercial stocks of shell eggs on June 1 were estimated -at 4, 000,000 cases, the lowest on record for that date. Frozen egg holding!, however, although ower tharf in any of the 3 preceeding years, ex ceeded those of any prior >to 1942. Stockl^of frozen eggs to be u?&S in processing of foods are near the highest levels on record. Dried egg socks are being rapidly de pleted, with a decline of over 50 million pounds occurring from January 1 to June 1. Cpl. M. Buchanan III Returns To States Word has been received by his family that Cpl. M. Buchanan, III, had arrived in the States after spending two years in the European Theater. He has recently been stationed on an Air Transport Command in Trinidad. He landed in Florida but qpes to New York for thirty days beiore coming home. Pfc. David F. Buchanan, son of Rufus C.

Buchanan is in an army hospital there after being wound ed twice in Pacific battles. He learned that Cpl. Hooper was there through a letter from home and had the Red Cross contact him and they were able to spend July 22 and 23rd together. Both boys write that it was wonderful to see some one from home. State Leads South In Milk RALEIGH, Jruly 30 ? The average North Carolina cow produced 13. 9 pounds of milk per day during June. This is less than two gal lons per cow per day, but this fig ure is higher than for June of last year, when the figure was 13.8, is above the 10-year (1934 43) average of 13.2, and is higher than other Southern State, accord ing to the Federal-State Crop Re port Service of the State Depart ment of Agriculture. The averages represent the re ported daily milk production of ?h?jrd?.<. kept by North _ Carolina farmers who serve as crop report ers for the Bureau of Agricultural Economics divided by the total number of milk cows (in milk or dry) in these herds. jThe average cow in the nation in June gave 18.25 pounds of milk per day, as against 16.89 for June a year ago. Wisconsin cows were at the top, each giving an estimat ed 24.6 pounds, nearly three gal lons, and the Texas bossie was at the bottom with 9.5 pounds, or just a little over a gallon per day. Pfc.

H. -Arnold Says B-29 Outstanding Plane In The World Today, Has Changed Aerial Warfare It was just a year ago that the 20th Air Force was formed. It was also a year ago that the first mis sion over the heart of Japan was carried out by the 20th Air Force and by the B^29. I think we can safely assume that B-29 is the out standing airplane in the world to day. It's the airplane which has changed aerial warfare. It's the airplane which provides a stretch, with a tremendous power of de struction, over large areas. When based in India, the super i fortress was able to operate from East China all the way down to Singapore and Calcutta. From Chengtu, China, it could operate from Tokyo all the way down to Bangkok. From the Marianas, we are able to operate all the way from Tokyo down to New Guinea. Translate these distances to the United States, base the B-29's in Kansas City and you could cover practically all of North America. You can see what tremendous power any nation has when it possesses B-21Ts in sufficient num bers to provide a real striking force. They could move from the Marianas all the way across the Pacific to the Atlantic in three days and operate on the fourth day. There is no other war weapon that you can conceive of doing what you can with the B-29. The ! .?mount of tonnage we dropped in Noverrttfer last by B-29's was 725. j ?Ve went up to 1700 in December, 1600 in January, 4000 in February, | 14,000 in March, 16,000 In April, and in the month of May, we went up to 24,000 tons of bombs. And we're going up more*? we're foing , to more than double the weight of bombs to be dropped on Japan. If our enemy wants to keep on with this war, she will find at the end of the next twelve months over 1, 300,000 tons of bombs dropped on industrial Japan. If that's what Japan wants, it's what she's going to get.

S. mills for the first six months of 1945 are trailing quota figures by almost five per cent, according to the semi-annual report just released by the Forest Production Bureau ofthe War Pro duction Board. . Moreover, WPB pointed out, domestic receipts by U. S. mills in the first six month period of this year are actually 1 percent behind last year's receipts covering the same period, despite the fact that domestic receipts in 1944 were almost 1,000,000 cords under the 1945 WPB goal. Total receipts of pulpwood at all U. S. mills for the period of ,Jan. thru June of this year were placed at 8,386,500 cords, also about 1 percent behind last year's receipts for the first six months. Domestic receipts contributed 7, 649,800 cords to the total, with imports of 736,700 cords making up the balance. The Appalachian Region mills obtained 691,300 cords of domestic pulpwood during the pesent year, representing a drop of 11 percent below receipts in the like period of last year. Despite some improvement shown in domestic receipts by Appalachian mills during June, 1945, with 142,100 cords as against 129,905 cords received last year, WPB declared: "A precarious production situa tion continues in this region and heavily increased production of peeled top quality "pulpwood js necessary to keep up current prod uction of pulpwood and paper products in the Appalachian area."

Housewives will be able to purchase more lard next year, for lard production win be about 100,000,000 pounds larger in the spring and summer of 1946 than this year. Basing his prediction on reports of the Bureau of Agricultural Eco nomics, D. S. Coltrane, Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture, pointed out, however, that lard * production will be less this winter than last winter. He said the na tions fall pig crop is expected to be about 13 per cent more than a year earlier. Marketings of 1945 fall- crop pigs will begin in late April, 1946. Hogs now being marketed are , from the 1944 fall pig crop, which was 34 per cent smaller than the record fall crop In 1943.
