Club Girl Markets Poultry and Beef • Edith completed such activities as clothing:, gardening and food preparation in her 4-H work, but under the stress of war and its demands, she marketed $3,081.05 worth of poultry and beef cattle. 'Edith is in college in Raleigh, but she still looks back with pride on her seven years activities with other 4-H members in the Fines Creek club in Haywood county. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Noland. •hen Edith couldn’t go to war decided to feed a fighter, and she did. She invested $58 of her poultry protits in .a choke Here ford yearling calf. The next year she sold her steer for $115.50 and this money, .together with $114.50 from her poultry profits enabled her to buy four yearling steers, 'tin 1943 I bought 10 yearlings Backing Up Your Doctor The advice and prescription youf doctor gives you will not be worth anything un less yon follow his advice faithfully and have the pre scription filled with pnre, fresh drugs.

Phone 100 Mount Olivi and a calf for $625 apd sold the yearlings in 1944 for $962.98,” Edith said. “All of this work wias fun and yet, at the same time, it helped to feed our fighting men.” Home Agent Mary M. Smith of the State college extension ser vice, says that during heT 4-H club career, Edith attended club camps for four years, and a 4-H short course in 1942. She served as president of the Fines Creek club and also on the Haywood county 4-H club council. She as sisted her club in making enough, money to equip a first aid room in the Fines Creek school. ’Edith was Haywood poultry champion for four years, and last year she was awarded a $25 war bond in the state contest. “More than 90,000 'North Caro lina girls and boys are enrolled in the 4-lH clubs,*and their contri butions to the progress of agri culture and farm life in the state are tremendous,” Miss Smith said. Price Decline Is Seen For Eggs Next Month Although farmers are now re ceiving ceiling prices for eggs, and handlers are not able to pur chase enough to meet the demands of the trade, a surplus in eggs, and a resulting decline in prices may be expected within the next four to six weeks, according to poultry and egg marketing sped-, alists with the state department of agriculture. The government purchased thousands of eggs in North Car olina during January, February, and March of 1943 and 1944.

'With an increase in the poten tial number of layers this season and the withdrawal of meats from the ration list, it is thought that the sulplus may be keenly felt this time. (Sandal B. Etheridge, chief of the market division, said that the department .will assist in every way possible in moving the sur plus. 'Meantime, the U. S. department of agriculture is reportedly antici pating a national surplus of 20 million cases. In its current re lease on the poultry and egg sit uation, the bureau of agricultural economics declares that while ci vilian demand for eggs is expect ed to remain “fairly strong,” it will be weaker next spring than during the first half of 1945. Mil itary demand for eggs will be re duced, but this will not result in a serious decrease in demand, since demobilized personnel will be add ed to..the. civilian population. 'However, BA!E finds that the per capita disappearance of eggs in the armed fortes has run about 33 pear cent , higher than civilian consumption peir person. More Processing Plants Are Needed In State Although North Carolina has- a high national rank in the produc tion of many crops, this state is notably lacking in processing fa cilities for a large number of products grown here. This is the opinion of D. S. Col trane, assistant agriculture com missioner, who points out that while North Carolina is second in the production of peanuts, it is twelfth in position in the manu facture of peanut candy, produc ing only about $250,000 worth of this item in a $7 million industry. Sit addition, North Carolina ranks low in the production of salted peanuts, a $12 million bus iness, and also in peanut butter, a $10 million industry. This is the picture, despite the fact that -the type of peanut commonly grown in this state is used chiefly for nuts and in combination with the Spanish peanut, for peanut but ter. , “The peanut. opportunity for manufacturers up to the present time has been neglected to a mark ed degree,” says Coltnane. He adds that products made from peanuts lend themselves to small local plants requiring relatively small capital. Coltnane explains that the por MOUNT OLIVE, N.C MISTER FARMER —BE ON THE SAFE SIDE— PLACE YOUR ORDER WITH US NOW FOR LATER DELIV Sf l ERY FOR ROYSTER’S quality fertilizers o~ v • - • .• . • . •' • S.

This year Rachel won the vic tory garden contest in Catawba, sponsored by the Sears Roebuck foundation, and came second in food preservation.

Miss Bara Smith, assistant home agent of the State college exten sion service for Catawba, says that Mr. and Mrs. Fred Sites, the parents of Rachel, encouraged her in every way possible in her gar dening work and points out that this is one of the most important points in conducting successful 4 H activities.

Get Right Kind Of Poultry Feed (Feed manufacturers make poul try feed mixtures to give certain definite results, and these feeds must be used accordingly, says Prof. Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the poultry department of State college. Recently some growers of broil ers have been using starter and growing mash rather than the specific mash for broiler produc tion*. “The most economical gains and qjtick growth cannot be ob tained by this practice,”. P!rof. Dearstyne say^. “The starting and growing mashes are developed for the specific purpose of carrying the birds from chick size up un til they reach sexual maturity. ‘^Broiler mashes • are made to give the rapid, intensive growth expected in this class of bird.

C While the feed situation is very tight at the present time, still broiler producers should make ev ery effort to get the right kind of feed needed for their birds. “All small dock owners can have supplemental grazing crops for their pullets at this time of the year. Feed costs must be re duced and one of the best ways of doing this is through green crops. As in providing grazing: [for dairy cows, beef animals, work [stock and hogs, the grazing crap should be sown about the last of August, with a relatively heavy seeding of grains and legumes, • and plenty of fertilizer on real, good land.” Renew Your Subscription to The Tribune Notice to Fanners!
