FEWER CHICKENS
RAISED IN STATEE
Raleigh^ August 4.?Prelimin
ary estimates show that North
Carolina farmers will raise three
per cent fewer chickens during
1947 than they did last year, it
was reported by the Federal-State
Crop Reporting Service in the
% State Department of Agriculture.
This estimate indicates that 20,
742,000 chickens, exclusive of com
mercial broilers, will be raised
last year and the 10-year (1936
45) average of 21,479,000 chickens.
There has been a steady decline
in the number of chickens raised
on farms in North Carolina since
1943, when farmers raised an all
time record number of 29.066,000
chickens. The 1947 estimate rep
resents a decline from the record
1943 crop of approximately 29 per
cent.
The Crop Reporting Service
based its estimate primarily on
reports as of June 1, obtained by
rural mall carriers from farmers.

"About two years ago," con
tinued Mr. Gallaway, "I began to
suffer from acid indigestion a:ter i
meals and soon got to where I iad
to be very careful about my ciet,J
but even this didn't seem to help
much. My appetite left me, and j
so much gas formed in my stomach
I always felt uncomfortable. I
slept poorly, I woke up feeling
worn out, and constipation kept
me taking strong laxatives. I felt
all fagged out and nothing seemed
to give me worth-while help.
"A relative "recommended Re
tonga and it gave me so much re
lief that I now enjoy every meal.
I sleep soundly and get up feel

I gish elimination is relieved and I
feel better and stronger than in
two years. Tt would be hard to
praise Retonga enough."

WHO is it that's first to spot ?
and quickest to go for ? a
really fresh new fashion idea
when it comes along?
The ladies, of course!
And who is it that, according to
careful surveys, put Buick far
ahead of its price class and up
among the lowest-priced three
when they name the car of their
innermost choice? __
The fair sex ? but naturally!
who is it, when you come
right down to it, that gets the most
practical use from enough stir
ring Fireball power to handle the
day's travel-jobs without strain
and struggle?
Who relishes most the restful
ease of wide, cushiony seats, and
the hi issful gentleness of all-coil
springs that make rough roads
well-mannered and good roads
glass-smooth?
Who goes for a car big enough to
be company-minded ? yet light
and easy enough in handling .to
park without a tussle, and flit
shadow-light through market
hour traffic?
Who, good friends, has the fam*
ily's smartest eye-for-a-buy ? the
shrewdest size-up of what's really
good?
No one but the Lady of tho
Household!
So we toss out this thought to you
menfolks:
Chances are that you've been
hankering for the kind of thrill
that lurks in this great-hearted,
great-powered beauty.

You'd sort of like to get your
hands on a car as big and mighty
as this ? if you thought the better
half could be sold on it.
Take our tip ? she's already sold.
Favored as it is by red-blooded
males, no Buick we've ever
offered has won the smart sex
quite like this one.

So why not pull a pleasant sur*
prise some evening soon? Just
come home and say, "Well, I
placed an order for a Buick to
day. They're taking 'em with or
without a car to trade."
Then watch her fall all over your
neck I
