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.

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.
