SAtS POULTRY RAISING wfS STATE CAN BE MADE A PROFITABLE BUSINESS. ' ? _ *r-;> Raleigh, Oct. 26.?The division of markets of the state department1 of agriculture has pointed to the experi ence of R. V. Vernon, a Union county fanner living near Monroe, as an ex ample that poultry raising-in North Carolina can be made a profitable business. ? It is related that Mr. Vernon start ed the season with 300 barred rode hens. On July 1, he culled these 300 and sold 100 of the culls. Since that time, it is pointed out, Mr. Vernon has kept .nearly 200 lay ing hens. Up to September 1, this Vear, he had sold $703 worth of eggs and 160 broilers, in addition to. the 100 cull hens. No exact record of the amount of money the ."hens and broilers brought Mr. Vernon, says the division of market^ figured the cost of feeding at comparatively nothing at all, as all feed was raised i on the land that would otherwise ! have been idle.; "Besides the' income from this source," said Mr. Vernon, "the money the eggs and hens sold for will mone than keep my family, and the pro ceeds from the other crops raised can be used for. other purposes." TEACH FIRE PREVENTION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS The Insurance Age Journal of Mar blehead, Massachusetts, says: "Cer tain national tendencies .which seems to be inherent within the heart s .of young and irresponsible people in this country makes them too fond of fires] to seek their prevention seriously. They love to see the engines and oth er apparatus dashing madly through the streets; to thrill at the sound of the sirens and gongs; and to fall in] with the ever increasing group hur rying in the indicated direction ask-1 ing, 'Where's the fire?' j "Once at the conflagration, with the possible exception of dwelling houses, j hope against hope is expressed that] the fire will not be extinguished too soon, that it shall continue to amuse. Everyone wants to see a big fire. If it's- a business or commercial buildr ] ing, they think, The owner's carrying insurance, so where's the loss?"' Physical culture is a part of school and college work in order to benefit] individuals physically and prolong life.' When one considers that last year some 15,000 persons were killed in fires, not to mention those injured, and that aver $500,000,000 worth of property went up in smoke, it would] seem that one of the greatest services that our public schools and colleges could render to the coming generation would be regular and systematic in struction in 'fire prevention work. Every single person in the land Is of necessity forced to use fire in some form or other. Then why should they go uninstructed as to proper methods in safeguarding Its use ? APPLICATION FOR PARDON OF EPHRLAM JOYNER ? Application will be made to the gov ernor of North Carolina for the par don of Ephriam Joyner, who was con victed at the April term of Pitt Su perior .court, 1925, and sentenced to the roads of Pitt county for a tend of THREE months, sentence to begin December 1st, 1925. All persons who oppose the* grant ing of said pardon are-invited to for ward their protest to the governor without delay. TWsrthe^Bth day of October, 1925.

Wedern Pw. of State Raleigh, Oct 28.?The Mexican bean beetle has invaded eight more counties in the state during 1925 and is now: spread over the entire portion of the steter.west of the nisic" line of. the Southern railway, says Dr. R; W. iLeibjr, entomologist for the state de partment of agriculture. "TMs beetle,'^ he says, "is the most serir j insect pest of all kinds of bean destroyers, but is particularly destruc tive to beans of the garden type. The counties invaded by natural spread during 1925 are: Stokes, Rockingham, Forsyth, Guilford, Davie, Davidson, .Rowan and Cabarrus, according 'to workers of the.division. of entomology who recently completed their annual counting for this pest to determine the extent of its migration. "Where this-pest has established it self, gardeners anch truckers find it necessary to treat the bean plants with poison to kill the bean beetles L W J ~i- 1 in UlCir miiimture autgca. vKunniKi the plants are apt to be eaten "This pest,"r continued Dr. Leiby, I "h spreading over , the United States J much as the boll weevil spread over the cotton* belt. About seven years j ; ago it became established in Alabama, having been introduced accidentally j from Mexico. The two counties of] Clay and Cherokee in the southwest] ; corner of North Carolina were invad-l ed as early as 1921. Thereafter the J spread was eastward and northward in the state, at the rate of 35 to 75 miles] a year. The invasion now extends as far north as Ohio. "Commercial bean growers in the eastern^ part of the state are much] alarmed at the advance of this pest The experience of such growers in j states where the beetle has. become es- j tablished has been that the necessary j j poisoning to check its damage sub tracts materially from previous prof its, especially in seasons when the j bean cannot be planted early to make I a good growth before the beetle ap pears." I ' Dr. Leiby points oat that J. C. I j Crawford, of the Alabama department of agriculture, who is making a study of the pest at the Swannanoa test farm, has issued a bulletin on its con trol which can be had by applying tor the department of agriculture at a leigh. k BUSlNESsJoCALS !
