Blue mold, the dreaded fiinmn
parasite that attacks tobacco plants
while they jtre too young to fight
' back, has struck again.
This year it made its first North
Carolina appearance in Bobeson
County, near the Bladen County
line. The attack was discovered late

Is dependent to a large extent on

Right Management
Key Chick Raising
A quality chick should possess'
through Inheritance the ability to
live, grow and perform. But these
profitable, characteristics may be
torn . down in a very short time by
careless and indifferent manage
ment, according to K. S. Dearstyne.
Dearstyne, head of the department
of poultry science at N. C. State
College, says there are many ways
in which the poultryman can, retain
in his chicks their inbred charact
eristics, of vitality and production.
One sure way, is to feed theni a
balanced diet A chick at the time
of hatch will weigh about . two
ounces. At three pound , weight
which should be reached in 10 to
13 weeks, the chick will have in
creased its weight 2,400 per cent
Growth is obtained solely from the
feed entering the chick's body. The
diet must contain the proper type
as well as the right amount of pro
tein, carbohydrates, fats, minerals,
and vitamins It the desired end is to
be reached." -J- :.v
To secure such a diet is not diffi
cult as there are many reputable
brands of mash on the market which
should supply all the necessary food
factors. The great ' possibility of
poor results in feeding lies in not
having adequate feeding . space at i
the start and in failing to increase

out feed for days and still live, but
if deprived of water they soon 'die.
Healthy chicks will drink it clean
water is conveniently available and
ample drinking space is supplied.
Research indicates that, dependent
on diet the average water consump
tion of 100 chicks ranges from 2.8
to 3.7 gallons per day. Chicks should
have three half-gallon founts per
10 chicks for the first three weeks
and two three-gaHon founts or one
four-foot1 through from then on
through the tenth week.
The chicken is a relatively small
animal. It has, however, a High
metabolism rate and its require
ments from fresh air are high in
comparison to other animals.
About 3 JS per cent of the air ex
haled by the chicken is carbon di
oxide. If carbon dioxide is inhaled
consistently, even in a relatively
small quantity by" chickens, there
is developed a depression and be
cause of this a slowing up of body
activities. Quality disappeajs in the
chick. This emphasizes the necessity
of carefully controlled ventilation.
There should be a constant inflow
of fresh air without direct drafts
on the birds if health is to be main
tained. Good ventilation also is one
of controlling factors of wet litter.
It is a fundamental health measure.
A Quality chick, as far as possible,
must be a disease-free chick. The
work of the N. C. Department of
Agriculture is blood-testing for pul-
lorum carriers has reduced the
chances of pullorum in chicks to
A very low level. However, diseases
other than pullorum may occur in
chicks.. The efforts of the poultry
man should be pointed largely to
ward the prevention of disease. This
Is best accomplished through good
sanitation and careful management
Many thousands of quality chicks
perish each year because manager
ial errors have reduced vitality to
the extent that disease outbreaks
have occurred,

Food Production
Keeps Pace With
U. S. Population
Althouffh nooulatlon In the United
States has Increased 29 million since
1040, food production has more than
kent oace. according to H. D. God
frey, state ASC administrative of-
ncer. ...
On a tier eaoita basis the present
estimated population of 161 million
eats 15 per cent more food than in
the period just prior to 1940. It is
significant says Godfrey, that most
of the increase. in food production
has come since the Agricultural
Conservation Program started pro
viding the means and encourage
ment for farmers to carry out soil
and water conservation practices. ,
Godfrey hastens to add, however,
that he doesnt mean to give the
ACT authe credit But the conser
vation practices carried out by the
farmers cooperating in the program
"have been a major factor."
Production figures show that ex
cept for potatoes there was no sig
nificant increase' in : the Der acre
yield 'of any major crop In all the
70 years before 1937,. says Godfrey.
Since then the per acre yield of all

Godfrey gives a great deal of
credit for increased yields to ' the
vnrir at agricultural scientists. Im
proved varieties, better fertilization.
more effective means ox controlling
ritaua lnMta and weeds, and bet
ter soil management have gone; a
long way in providing the increase.
Educational services have provided
farmer with -ft strong- background
of information. The ACP, with its
elected farmer-committees in every
county In the state and with its
direct financial assistance has pro
vided a means 'of (getting quicic
action by farmers. :
T-ooldn at it from this standpoint
Godfrey says the ACP is a consumer
program as well as a farm program.

Tt-takes the tact and experience

As forestry Aid
What does a farmer do with an
unusually large area of wasteland?
The question may receive a par
tial answer, at least in a pratice
beingcarried out on the farm of
C. B. Hatch of Dudley.
Hatch has 275 acres of wasteland.
according to Steven E. Lewis, as
sistant Wayne County farm agent
for the State College Extension
Service. "By wasteland," says Ste
ven, "I mean land that was stripped
of its timber and no provisions left
for a seed source with the exception
of a few hardwoods.?
The entire 275 acres doesn't have
a single pine bearing seed and hasn't
had for the past 85 years, according
to the assistant county agent Hath
tackled the problem of bringing the
275' acres into productivity by
making "spot plantings" of pine.
He finds clearings that will support
seedlings and plants loblolly pines.
At the transition zone between the
high ground and swamp he has dis
turbed the soil and planted a band
of loblollies around the entire
swamp. Some hardwoods are being
logged out of the swamp as the
ground is torn up and clearings
created. Hatch spot plants a few
seedlings. But he is careful to place
the seedlings in an area that is not
likely to be flooded. -'
Says Steven: "The idea is some
thing worth following up. If it
proves successful Mr. Hatch has
accomplished something very worth
while. I am of the opinion that it
will come out all right He has based
it on good sound reasoning."
LOSES BALANCE
No wonder a man so often loses
his balance when his wife goes on
a shopping Spree.
TALKING TURRET
Many a wife has to talk turkey
to convince her husband he is the
one to bring home the bacon.
TIMS A FACTOR
Everyman has nls price, every
woman her figure - it's only time
that makes it problematical.
Have you been to Calypso lately?
If so, you . noticed some of "the
things that have been done. A new
stainless steel sink has replaced the
old discolored zinc one in the school
lunch room; . also, there is a new
asphalt tile cover on the old cement
floor.. We are working for a better
water system for the school.
We have a new Fire Station and
Town Hall and we are working on
a modern Jail. The Legion hut has
had. its face lifted. Shrubbery has
been planted and work done on the
interior. The cemetery has had its
share of attention and part of that
'gone and forgotten look' has disap
peared. The open, hazardous ditch
has been filled in and with our new
power mower, the cemetery will
really take on a new look this sum
mer. ,
Old dwellings on Main Street that
were really rat harbors have, been
torn down and the land levelled.
The ditch which was an eye sore
to the Bank lot has been tiled and
filled. The added street lights are
a great benefit and you shbuld see
our big red fire truck!
We truly welcome you to Calypso
and will continue to do all we can
to make it a "Finer Carolina" town,
for we the residents to live in, and
for you to visit.
A landscaping program is being
sponsored b? the Home Demonstra
tion Club so that everyone will have
an opportunity to learn more about
beautifying their yards. This Club
is also preparing a large "Welcome"
sign to welcome people to Calypso.

I hereby announce my candidacy for the office of member of
the Board of Education of Duplin County, subject to the will of the
people to be expressed in the Democratic Primary Saturday, May
29th.
If nominated and elected, I will continue to do my best to'
provide educational opportunities in all of our schools that are equal
to the best in North Carolina, because I believe that children in a
rural county deserve the same opportunities enjoyed by city children.
I believe that the experience I have obtained during three
and a half years as chairman of the Board of Education will enable
me to perform my duties in an acceptable manner. Your vote and
influence in my behalf will be appreciated.
