Awarded First Place# General Excellente by North Caro lina Press Association for 1946. . ._ __Member North Carolina Press Association The News, May 27, 1948 Vote Your Conviction Elections in North Carolina are always interesting af fairs, but this year because of the many issues injected into the political picture it appears that more people than ever are interested in casting their votes Saturday. We hope to see a large vote Saturday .for that is the pnly way the true desire of the people can be expressed. A small vote often is an indication of the trend of thought, but a large vote, is needed to get the facts from the people. Here in Orange County we have a native son seeking t re-election to the United States Congress. We can’t believe that Orange County voters will be satisfied unless Carl Dur ham is returned. A large vote in his favor is needed. In the other State elections there are good men running for all the jobs open in our political forces. 7 • Make your selection and vote your choice without allow ing anyone to swing your ballot one way or another. That’s our heritage as American citizens and we have the oppor tunity Saturday to do one of our duties as a citizen. Jane Is Dairy Month Every person in Orange County should be interested in the effort being made by the producers of milk to advertise widely “June is Dairy Month” theme in their drive to show the economical value of using milk products in our daily diet. Dairying in Orange County is a growing farming opera tion. Wider use of dairy products makes for more use of milk which in return will increase the profits received from operation of dairies. The theme,“June is Dairy Month,” is being pushed all over the State and country during the coming month we look for- it to be a success in Orange County. Protecting Our Forests For many years conservation minded people have ex pressed alarm over*-the rapid rate at which our forests are disappearing. In the slightly more than 300 years since this country was first settled by white men, little thought was given, un til recently, to scientific replacement of the trees taken out of forests. . Land had to be cleared for crops; wood was needed for fuel and building and hundreds of other uses. Ruthless destruction of forest land went on until the wiser among us showed the dangerous road down which we were traveling. Europe long ago learned its forest conservation lesson. We are just now beginning to realize that our forest re sources are not inexhaustible. It is fortunate that we have learned our lesson before it is too late. Only recently, the chairman of the American Forest Products Association paid tribute to the reaJwakening. He said: “The recovery of Southern forests in the last 30 years is without parallel in world history; Twenty-five years ago, high authority agreed that the South was finished as a large timber-producing region. “But the little pines themselves,” he continued, "have knocked these gloomy forebodings into a cocked hat. South ern forests now supplya greater volume and far greater value of wood products than they ever yielded in the hey-day of virgin timber. Most important, this immense production is coming from, and is being replaced almost entirely, by new pawn. ■- *— • • Coming from such an authority, the outlook for the future of our timberlands, particularly in the South, is en couraging. However, we still have much to learn about good woods management, and until ail of our people are willing to practice conservation and reforestation measures, we are stil| not out of danger.—Clipped. Average Weekly Wages . Rather interesting figures on employment in Orange County are contained in a recent report received from the State Employment Commission. The figures show that during the fourth quarter of last year a total of 2,436 workers were employed in the county who received total wages of $1,192,917 or an average weekly wage of $37.66. / --j The report reveals that Orange County workers as a . whole receive less money for their work tljan employees in other sections of the State. State average for the period was $42.03. MISS RACHEL MAE BLAND, of Carrboro, N. €., is a member of this year’s graduating class at the Watts Hospital School of Nursing, in Durham.

Ballard Insurance Agency Complete Insurance Service Hillsboro Poultry OntiooK More Favorable l j There is money in poultry, par ! licularly for the efficient producer says C. B. Ratehford, in charge of ; farm management at State Col lege. '* , | The outlook'for poultry haj; be come more favorable since the first of the year, he said, adding that demand is expected to remain high. Since the number of layers is lower, an inorease in pi ice is anticipated. According to the Bureau of Agri cultural Economics, farmers re ceived 42.6 cents per dozen for their eggs in mid-March. This figure is 2.5 cents more than in 1 March, 1947, and the highest price j on record for the month. I The egg_feed ratio has been un favorable, but if farmers plant the acreage of feed, grain they intend to and.yield is normal, the ratio should' improve in the last half of 1948, the farm management spe cialist believes. However, while the outlook is good for efficient'’ poultry men. in efficient producers will probably lose money, predicts Mr." Rich ford, adding" that despite possible lower feed costs poultrymen should continue to strive for efficiency in production. The specialist lists these steps as ways of increasing efficiency: Get better bred chicks; cull hard; use grazing as much as possible for pul BONNER D.
