WAYNESVILLE COAL COMPANY "Authorized Patsy Distributors" Phone 273 WaynesvRle 1 Haywood Farmers Co-op | Operating An Incubator State's Honey Crop Smaller Than In 1952 North Carolina's honey produc tion in 1952 dropped 18 percent from the previous year's crop of (i.426.000 pounds, but nearly doubled the 1950 production of 2 - 775,000 pounds with a total of 5, 292,000 pounds. The State-Federal Crop Report ing Service attributed the varia tion in production chiefly to the difference in average production per colony, since the number of colonies during 1952 was 189.000 ; ?the same as in 1951. while there were 185.000 colonies in 1950. The average production per col ony in 1952 was 28 pounds, com pared with 34 pounds in 1951 and 15j)ounds in 1950. Wholesale and retail prices for all honey sold in 1952 averaged 31.6 cents compared with an aver age of 29.8 cents per pound in 1951. The average price for bees wax in 1952 was 42 cents, com pared with an average of 48 cents in 1951. BROILER PRODUCTION TOPS 627,462,000 Commercial broiler production in the 15 important broiler states covered by weekly chick placement reports amounted to 627.462,000 birds in 1952?8 percent more than in 1951, the Bureau of Agricul tural . Economies reported today. Even with this increase in broil er production the average price received in 1952 increased 0.4 cent per pound. The 15 states covered) produce about of the Nation's boilers. Georgia led all States with about 113 million birds, followed by Arkansas with 73 million, Dela ware with 65 million and Texas with 61 million broilers. The average live weight per bird sold was 3 pounds, the same as In 1951. The Republican Party of the United States was first organized in 1854. The second hatch of the season is due to come off Tuesday morn i ing at the Haywood County Farm ers Co-op hatchery, which is in the store on Depot Street. The first hatch last Tuesday was i far better than average, according j to H. M. Dulin, store manager, and Norton Justice, head of the poul ; try division of the firm. The first hatch was about 75 per cent of all eggs put into the in : cubator. The average first hatch runs close to 60 per cent,. Mr. Jus j tice pointed. The New Hampshire strain of j chicks are being hatched exclusive j ly by the Co-op, and all from eggs produced right here in Haywood county. "Our hatchery right here in the store will serve a dual purpose," Mr Dulin explained. "It will give us a first-hand check on quality of eggs being produced here in Hay wood. and will also enable us to provide chicks to our customers that are hatched right here at home from local grown eggs. We feel -uch a chick will be more profit able to the grower than perhaps others that are not produced under similar circumstances," Mr. Dulin added. The hatchery is now scheduled to produce a new group of chicks every Tuesday. Also of interest to customers in the store are the displays of pul lets. now about 17 weeks old. The pullets were grown from eggs produced here in the county, and are now laying. The Iceman Playeth PITTSBURGH, Pa. <AP) ? Baz Bastien who was forced to retire from active hockey competition be cause of a serious eye accident in 1949, still gets around on the ice? but in practice sessions only. Baz, now business manager for the Pittsburgh Hornets in the Ameri can Hockey League, dons his uni form for all practice sessions. He wears a plastic mask and gives the active boys quite a workout. Rattlesnakes are one of several types of snake in which the young are born alive and not hatched from eggs. Dividend Checks Paid i . . H. M. Dulin is shown handing Will Kuykendail the first of a series of patronage dividend checks whch have been mailed to custom ers of the Haywood County Farmers Co-op. The checks totaled over $6,000.

For example there are WHO of Des Moines, la.; WHOM of New j York; WEST of Easton, Pa.; WIRE of Indianapolis; WOOD of Grand Rapids, Mich., and WORK of York, Pa. U. S. Presidents Rutherford Hayes and Andrew Jackson were born after the death of their fath ers. By WAYNE FRANKLIN County Agent It has been said that necessity is often the mother of invention. This is just what happened in the case of E. E. Morgan, an outstand ing Grade-A dairy farmer of the Fairview community. Mr. Morgan could not dispose of the liquid waste from his milking barn, as is commonly done by many dairy men; that is, let the waste run out through a drain pipe several feet away from the dairy barn and seep into the ground, or sometimes into a nearby stream, because in his case it-would have wound up in his front yard. Mr. Morgan decided to save this liquid manure and put it back on his pasture and cropland. He con structed a concrete pit with a cap acity of 5,000 gallons for $150. Then he purchased a pump for $125 and secured an old gas tank with a capacity of 560 gallons. He then attached an 8-foot boom with a series of nozzles to the gas tank, mounted it on a wagon, and used this to apply the liquid manure to his pasture and cropland. Mr. Mor gan says he values this liquid man ure at $30 per 5,000-gallon pitfull. He finds it necessary to empty the pit every two weeks; thus, in a year's time he saves about 26 pits' full for $780 worth of fertil izer materials from approximately 20 cows that the average dairy farmer loses. The initial cost to save this liquid manure was $27^; therefore, he made back his in vestment the first- year and had $505 worth of fertilizer materials he would not have had otherwise. By removing the nozzles and us ing a half-inch stand pipe, he is now using his irrigation system to apply the liquid manure. Mr. Morgan says the irrigation system pumps the liquid manure through the half-inch pipes under pres sure, and forces it high into the air to fall back like rain. He is now thinking of adding screen on the pump and using the regular nozzles for distribution. As proof that this idea of sav ing the liquid manure is paying Mr. Morgan large dividends, he says it is not necessary to top dress his Ladino clover pasture with the usual 500 pounds per acre of 0-9-27 or 0-14-14 fertilizer; in fact, he does not use any other fertilizer at all. He is grazing 20 cows on 13 acres of Ladino clover and orchard grass pasture. The pasture is cut into two sections and grazed in rotation. In spite of the dry weather last summer, Mr. Morggn had plenty of grazing for his cows. During a normal season with good rain, he finds it neces sary to mow the pasture once or twice. Dairy farmers of Haywood Coun ty are loosing thousands of dol lars' worth of fertilizer each year by not saving the liquid manure from their barns. Stengel Liked '52 Pennant GLENDALE, Calif. (API ? The 1952 pennant, the fourth in a row for the Yankees, was the "best pen nant we won," claims manager Casey Stengel. "We had to win It on the road that last month when the other clubs had the last tlfhei at bat." Communities Will Be Able To Make Improvements Communities that are undecided on projects for the year or need additional ideas to round out their programs will find the suggestions made at the annual county-wide CDP Feb. 6 worth consideration. First of all, the group voted iv conduct a Home and Yard Im provement Contest on a community basis with prizes optional. Local judges could pick the semi-finalists and the three best from this selec tion could be chosen by other judges. Perhaps few improvements that can be made would be as noticeable as those around the homes and yards. In connection with this, home owners might find a flower garden contest a stimulus towards com munity improvements. The group decided that more flowers need to be planted and to arrange a flow er tour through the acounty. The best flowers in each community will be entered in a flower show that will consist of marigolds, dahlias, and zinnias. Roadbanks and ditchbanks need improving throughout the county, the group decided. It was explain ed that the State Highway Com mission will furnish fertilizer, lime, and seed for the banks and sow the seed after the banks are pre pared for seeding. Mailboxes, roadsigns. and com ! munity signs not only improve the appearance of a community but also have a high guide value for visitors not familiar with the com- j munity. One of the most popular projects in the county, these signs ; are becoming the minimum stand-: ards for community ' .provement. j Whole-hearted cooperation with | schools and churches hardly needs j mentioning.
