Last year Roy began his poultry work with 500 chicks but he allowed his brooder to get too hot and lost a number of chicks. Later the chocks in this weakened condition were attacked by coccidiosis and further losses occurred. As a ri-.ult, he faised only about 350 out of his 500 chicks. , This year Roy joined the poultry club and began work under the Ji lectlon of N. B. Nicholson, assis'ant county agent of the State College Extension Service. He profited by his experiences of last year and fol lowed instructions closely, raising 493 chicks out of a brood of 500. Roy also kept a careful record of his work at Nicholson's suggestion. He listed his expenses as $45 for chicks, $12 for litter, $114.87 for feed and wood, and a miscellaneous expense of $1.75. "In the eleventh- week I sold the pullets and 15 cockerels for breedr mg purposes for $207.50," Roy said. "During the twelfth week I sold the remainder of the cockerels for $137. 95. My labor profit was $171.43 for 12 weeks of work, or $2.04 a day for work after school.." 0 What does It cost to produce a found of lint cotton?

Eastham and Paul Dickson, There is much discussion going the rounds of the press on the question of military training for the youth of the land. The trouble about that is our youth may become as the German youngsters, who glory inmur der. Recently an American soldier felt in his pockets to find a youth some cocoanut candy. That youth suddenly drew a small automatic pistol and killed that kindhearted soldier whose highest desire wag to be kind. You can thank, handle and use guns until they become part of you. The German nation is insane on the subject of enforcing its will, and mistake this for an accomplishment. Only beneficial knowledge and skill in those things which enable human beings to do more for OTHERS can be evaluated as accomplishments. To learn to do those things which bri-" iles to the faces of the sad, the sorrowing and depressed, that appease the disturbed, that sat isfy the hungry, that displaces war and brings peace, are in reality ac complishments. It is said that the water in the North Sea is so cold anyone falling into it cannot live over forty minutes. Is it possible adjoining Germany causes that water to be so cold? No, of course not, but being near that cold icy water always mpke the Gerrrans so cold-hearted. Our en vironment does effect our make-up. I see great Improvement in our country. It is capable of producing much more now than it did when I was a boy. Farmers are Informed in methods, and workmen of any and all trades are more skilled. This as a general rule is true, but there was once more skilled workmen in some lines. In this country there are rot any coopers now to sneak of. Once Moore county men lived by that trade. Machinery has taken the place of skilled. But Hatter Daniel McLeod could Pocketbook Lost By F. F. McPhaul Is Recovered F. F.

The enemies of our country have no cause for the hatred they hold against our fellowcitizens. They atartM, without cause, this war. While they still professed friendship, they stab bed In the back. They have used every form of deception, have taken every unfair advantage. There is nothing too low and unprincipled for them to engage in. The climate of many Pacific Islands has taken the lives of a number of American soldiers. T read that 8 soldiers died of disease where one died of gim shot wounds. I also read that 97 per cent of the wound ed in this war have recovered. If the present war would only bring about a universal language we would not count it all loss.

Farmers Report On Free Spring Grazing Dairymen, beef cattle men, and hog glowers report that tenporary grazing crops seeded in early fall, by September 1, with plenty of seed per acre and good applications of fertilizer furnish them with the cheapest feed they produce on the Wi,son county for exampie. come two reports that bring out these points. One is from Jesse D. Proctor of Walstonburg, who has been grazing 30 hogs, 3 head of workstock, and 1 cow on 6 acres. He obtained 81 days of fall grazing or more than enough to pay all exipenses of the grazing crop of 4 bushels of small grains and 20 lbs. of rye grass per acre. His spring grazing is "free grazing. Here s to about his grazing crops and what he thought of tlu.m, the reply was: "I wouldn't have the cows, if I didn't have the grazing crops. To get good grazing, the crop should be planted eaily and topdressed." Widely distributed reports from Wilkes, Gaston, Alamance, Burke, Ashe, Wake, Sampson, Rockingham, and Mecklenburg counties show that farmers are using all kinds of seed ing mixtures and that the amount of seed per acre is relatively heavy. 0 RENT CONTROL All persons renting or offering for rent, any living quarter whatsoever must register each dwelling unit with rent control office in their rent area. Persons who feel that they are be ing overcharged for rents may sub mit complaints to OPA. Complaint forms are available at the local War Price and Rationing board if your area does not hve a rent control office. Rationing rules now require that each car owner write his license num ber and stte on each coupon in his possession as soon as it is issued to him by his local rationing board. $225 Raised Here For Cancer Work Hoke County contributed $225 this week towards the work of the Can cer Control Committee, in a drive conducted in Raeford by Walter P. Baker and at Sanatorium by Miss Belle White. Mr. Baker, county solicitation com mittee chairman, stated that he re- ceivtd excellent cooperation from citizens, and was especially grateful to Miss White and the Sanatorium personnel for their excellent con tribution. Sugar Rations Cut25 Percent Sugar rations have bern cut 25 percent, according to an announce ment of the Washington office of the Price Administration issued May 1. A wire to the local OPA office slates that a 30-ipercent cut will ap ply to canning sugar. The wire reads: Effective imme diately the home canning sugar al lotment reduced from 20 pounds per person to 15 pounds per person for 1945 season. Family of eight or more re uced from 160 to 120 pounds per family unit. Board issuances re stricted to 70 percent of amount is sued during the 1944 season. Signed: R. B. Roberts, district food rationing officer. d Ct nr E.qf?s Saves Money In warm weather rapid changes take :la-e inside the egg unless it is stored in a cool, moist place. The quality of an egg cannot be improved after it is laid but the original fresh ness a;id quality can be preserved until it is marked. T. T. Brown, Extension poultry specialist at State College, suggests that eggs be cooled quickly after they are gathered, kept under proper stor age conditions, and then be market ed once or twice a week. Since fertile eggs deteriorate much more rapidly than do infertile eggs, he also suggests that all cockerels be sold or separated from the lay ing flock as soon as hatching eggs are no longer needed. A baseirent, cellar, insulated room. or a tobacco ordering pit is a good i place to store eggs in summer. The j room snould be kept reasonably moist i and well ventilited. Hydrated lime n-ay be rprinkled ever the floo- to rherk i old development and prevent ; musty odors. Opting the windows nt night ard closi.vt them during ;iie i day helps to maintain a lower tem perature. In Eastern Carolina Brown suggests that a corner of the feed room be partitioned off and the walls and the roof insulated. Outside windows should be provided so that they may be opened during the night to pro' vide for ventilation. "Poor storage and handling of eggs during hot weather causes large losses to the farmer and to the con suming public," Brown says. "Un der present meat shortage conditions when every possible egg is needed for food, proper storage not only saves money but also valuable food."
