Page 6 THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER THURSDAY, APRTy , Size And Finish Controls Turkey Sales An extra big turkey, undeveloped and poorly fattened, stands a poor chance in the general markets against a medium bird that is fat and well finished. Bryan Nesbit, turkey expert for the poultry department at State Col lege, believes that some turkey fan ciers have gone too far in trying to grow out the largest birds possible. Since the beginning of turkey rais ing, he says, the birds have been bred for their size and the regular stand ard weights have been raised from year to year, uniy recenuy, standard weight for all birds, excpet the Bronze, were raised three pounds ach. , The average turkey grower of North Carolina finds it almost im possible to grow out a well finished bird of large size between April, the time of hatching, and Thanks giving, the time of gelling, ineie fore instead of getting a good prem ium for his large, husky toma as he 1. i f irwr in venrs nasi, ne finds the pubic wanting his smaller well finished nens. inen ". found that the consuming public is moving into small apartments and that families are smaller so that the largest birds are not wanted as they were in years past. The beef breed er has gone through a similar ex perience. Mr. Nesbit savs people have learned in buying their turkeys for Thanks giving dinner that the hens are fatter and better developed than are . the oms- The flesh of the torn is also coarser-grained than that of the hen. "While there will always be cer tain markets which will pay a prem ium on the extra large birds that are fat and in good finish, it will be im practical and unwise for the com mercial turkey grower of this btate to attempt the production of large lumbers of such birds" says Mr, Nesbit. Washington's Farm Success Based On Stock Growing To his other virtues, add that of being a livestock larmer as one of the reasons why leorge Washing ton was generally credited as being the leading farmer oi his day "When Washington came into possession of the beloved Mount Ver non, the fertility of the soil had Keen impoverished by a eeatnry of almost continuous cropping to tobacco and corn," says L.I. Case, animal hus bandman at State College. "He was quick to realize this condition and immediately instituted less harmful systems combined with livestock pro duction. His carefully kept records fhow that he increased the capacity of his acres by the balanced type of farming followed. The records fhow that he had at the time on the Mount Vernon farm, 34 horses, 15 jacks and jennets, Ii7 mules, 029 cattle and C40 sheep which were disposed of in his wil." Mr. Case says Washington not only grew livestock of all knds, but he received a thrill frjm the bitedivg of pure strains. He increased the wool output of his sheep by using good rams. He also enjoyed having livestock products on his table. Finally, he was convinced that im proved agricultural practices were vital to the future of the young Nation which he had helped to found. "I know of no pursuit in which more real and important s-trviees can be rendered to any country than by improving its agriculture, it.-' breed of useful animals, and other branches of the husbandman's cares," he said in 1791. Again in 1796, he compared the kind of farming done in the United States with that of some other countries and urged the farmers of America to "fall on a better mode of treating them (the soil)." According to Mr. Case, this is ad vice which any farmer in North Car olina could well apply in 1932.

Bunch Poultry Farm and Hatchery, States ville. N. C. May 12 Special to The Mountaineer Dr. A. T. Allen, State Superintend ent of Public Instruction, no onby gave his endorsement to the Milk-for Health campaign recently conducted by the State Board of Health, but he urged "all the workers in the field of education to discharge their ooliga tion by spreading abroad the infor mation that milk is pre-eminently a health food. He suggested that some definite instruction on the food val ue of milk be given each day of the campaign in every school room and by every teacher employed in the State- He suggested further thai, each school collaporate in the effort to collect information in the territory in which it serves, showing the amount of milk produced and used. Dr. Allen's interest in milk as a health fool is well founded. Accord ing to the Live-at-Home bulletin is sued from his oflice there is a direct relation between mental alertness and a well-fed body; between undernour ishment and backwardness in school. The bulletin says: "We find that fully one-third of the school children of America are underweight and back ward in school. Of these cases, 97 per cent could be cured if each boy and girl would drink a quart of milk daily." The bulletin gives this interesting study; "The physical condition and mental state of all the children in the eighth grade in one of America s largest cities were recently studied, and it was found that those children who had been accustomed to drink ing milk averaged two years younger than the group in the same grade who were being deprived of milk during their growing years. Such a condi tion exists in the country even more than in the cities." It says further: "If science should discover a new substance which contains all the ele ments for physical growth and health, and would cause weak children to gain or regain mental stamina if this substance were made as availa ble and inexpensive as milk, the newspapers of the world would herald it and urge its use, ami societies would be formed to see that no fam ily went without it. Milk will do all these things but still many people are deprived of this great food. "Milk is the only food known that contains all the elements that grow ing children need, namely, protein, energy, and vitamins. Thus, there can be no substitute for milk." To encourage interest on the part of school children in knowing more about the food value of milk, Dr Allen is offering a silver cup to the graded school boy or girl who makes the best rhyme on the subj'ect of milk. The closing date for this con test in April 25th. CHANCE OF LIFETIME RELIABLE MAN WANTED to call on farmers in Haywood County. Wonderful opportunity. Make $7 to $12 daily.

St Peter stood guard at the Golden gate, With solemn mien and air sedate, When up to the top of the Golden Stairs, Maggie and Jiggs ascended there Applied for admission and came and stood Before St. Peter so great and good. In hope the City of Peace to win And asked St- Peter to let them in. Maggie was tall and dark and thin, With a scraggly beardlet on her chin; And his rtomach was built so it round ed out; His' face was pleasant and all the while He wore a kindly and genial smile, The choir in the distance the echoes woke And Jiggs kept still while Maggie spoke. "Oh thou who guardest the gates," said she, "We two come hither beseeching thee To let us enter the heavenly land, And play our harps with the angel band. Of me, St. Peter, there is no doubt, There's nothing in heaven to bar me out, I've been to meeting three times a week, And almost always Pd rise and speak. I've told the sinners about the day When they should repent of their evil way; I've told my neighbors, I've told them all, 'Bout Adam and Eve and the primal -' all; ,. I've shown them what they' 1 have to do If they'd passed to heaven as the chosen few; I've marked the. part of duty clear; Laid out the plan of their whole ca reer.

"I know him, St. Peter, know him well. To escape from me he will go to hell, But St. Peter, I need him badly here and hope you can see your way quite ' clear; On earth I bore a heavy cross, I've brought my rolling pin, plates and jars. To keep him dodging among the stars- "But say, St. Peter, it seems to me This gate isn't kept as" it ought to be You ought to stand by the opening there And never sit down in an easy chair; And say, St. Peter, my sight is dim med, But I don't like the way your whisk ers are trimmed; They are plucked too wide, with an outward toss; They'd look better narrow and straight across." - ' ' '. .

And in spite of his office he had to laugh ; Then he said to the woman with a flash in hi3 eye, "Who's tending this gate, Maggie, you 1 SOME TYPIST "Just what is a typist?"

Now, the typewriter typewrites on the typewriter until there is no more typewriting to be typewritten on the typewriter on which the typewriter wli.j typewrites on the typewriter typewrites." The recent freeze almost wiped out the beet, radish and garden pea crops of Carteret County. About one-third the early Irish potato crop was covered with salt water and the cab bage crop was damaged about 25 per cent from wind and cold. A number of Bertie County farm ers have found it necessary to re plant their tobacco and tomato seed beds due to the recent freeze. Alamance County farmers contin ue to plant pastures , and legume grazing crops for their dairy cattle. They have purchased co-operatively about 15,000 pounds of lespedeza and 750 pounds of red clover seed so far this season.
