N J HOKE COUNTY'S BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM ooraaJ HOKE ttUNTY'S ONLY NEWSPAPER WS The Hoke County Journal VOLUME XL NO. 37 RAEFORD. N.C. THURSDAY, FEB. 14th, 1946 $2.00 PER YEAh The The Hoke County News NEWS or OUR M EN w WOMEN IN UNIFORM ttorporal James McLauchlin has been separated from the Army after 13 months in the Pacific theatre.

Trim Buck Lamb For Greater Profit In spite of the fact that 1945 was a very profitable year lor sheep growers, records of cooperative sales in North Carolina show that several thousand buck lambs were marketed at a discount of $1.00 per hundred weight, according to L. I. Case, in charge of Animal Husbandry Ex tension at State College. This meant a loss of practically $1.00 per hun dred weight but in the marjority of cases buck lambs did not grade at high as ewe and wether lambs. This is the time of year to take good care of the lambs because the lamb crop is the shepherd's har vest. Lambs lost through lack oi proper feeding and care or buck lambs that are not trimmed at this time mean a loss of money to sheep growers. The majority of lambs in Eastern North Carolina should be on the ground by this time because it has been found practical and profitable to have lambs come in this section of the State in January and February, Case says. These lambs will be on the market by May and June, which usually means a top price for them. In the mountain counties some lambs come as early as February with the majority of them arriving in March. Lambs should be trimmed when they are a week to two weeks old because the operation is much less serious at that age than when they get larfer. Case explains. Cooperative sales of lambs last year were larger than any year in the past ten. The records showed that 9,253 lambs were marketed by grade, and they brought Tar Heel sheep men $101,734. These records , probably covered about 20 percent of the lambs produced in North Carolina. Farm Flock records from various parts of the State showed an aver' age gross income of something over $14.00 per ewe. This would mean between $9.00 and $10.00 net profit per ewe. That is to say there was a profit of. between $450,000 and $560,000 made on sheep in North Carolina last year..

Scott Poole) "As we sow, so shall we reap." They are sowing to the whirlwind in this time, and going fast. In tiie year 1945 ninety 6ix people were killed in highway accidents, and about ten and one-third million were injured in road accidents. In, conquering Germany and Japan the United States lost one million fifty-eight thousand and fifty-6ix men. They were either killed, wounded, missing in action or cap tured by the enemy. Also in drunk en recklessness people are dying by the millions. Syndicates organized and operated at as little cost as they could and accumulated vast fortunes. The world knew that labor did not get its share of the gains, but since the Federal Government has the income tax working as it is people are pay ing the taxes. If labor gets its demands it, too, will pay income tax and other taxes that have never before been heard of. The States are imitating the Federal Government which means the higher wages go, the higher cost of living. When the tax rate in Raeford was 15c on $100 the outgoing ad ministration borrowed $600 from each of the two banks here. The incom ing officers paid that money back the first year with that 15c tax rate, and other current expenses, and built 6oil sidewalks all over town. But the officers were only paid fees, except policemen they got next to nothing you would say, if you knew what they got. The General Assembly of 194S raised the pay of state officials that should not have been raised. Espec ially do I say this of the Lieutenant Governor. All he has to do is be there and preside. Half of the mem bers are about as active during a meeting of the Legislature as a knot on a log. Kelly said there was money in chickens, for he put it there. A good many others have put money in chic ken but feed is high and not what it is advertised to be. Young married people, boys and Sills left the farms in the 187l)'s and 8U's to work in cotton mills in near by towns. They were paid only $3 a week, but they had never made money like that before, and they lived well. Numbers of young farmers left the farms around the turn of the century to work in furniture fac tories in High Point and elsewhere, because it was impossible to make a comfortable living from tilling the soil. There are one hundred million per sons on the point of starvation in Europe. People in large numbers died in China when there was no war, but the number is much larger now that nearly everythng has ben destroyed. The late Henry Page, Sr, of Ab eideen said: 'We think everyba.v gets to much, who gets more than we do." That is abtut how i e it -oo. The strkes hire .ubbed the xmr. try of the loyi oi victory, and the Freedoms, which were assured us at a terrible cost Shame on strik ers. A foreman told me few days ago that although his men are paid $21 or more a week he had to do some urgency tasks all by himself recent ly. Not long ago these men were pad $3.60 a week. Laboring people seem to have lost all assembaUn e 'A ciimmoriense.

As soon as they got the beer they moved with all their might for everything that would bring drunk en ess. Li quor is the cause of road accidents more than most people think. A drunk approached a man on the sidewalk and asked: "Say mister, is this 'toother side the street?'" and the man said: "why no, it is over yonder," and the drunk replied "Zat's what I said, but zat fool over there said it was over here."

A premium is generally paid for eggs of high hatchability and this premium is of great importance in determining the profits of the breeding flock. T. T. Brown, Extension poultry specialist at State College, gives three suggestions for increasing the hat chability of the eggs, or tor pre ventng the hatchability from de clining. 1. Guard the health of the breed ing birds. The breeding flock should be pullorum-free, adequately housed, and fed a balanced diet. 2. Hatching eggs should be collec ted several times a day to prevent the eggs from becoming chilled dur ing cold weather. 3. The eggs should be stored in containers that permit air circula tion and in room that is some what moist and has a constant tem perature of between 50 and 60 de grees. Brown also suggests that deliveries of hatching eggs to the hatchery be made at least once a iweek because eggs thit ire held too long may de cline in hatchability. Cleaned eggs should not be sent to the hatchery because the eggs may have been damaged in the clean ing pro es and the hatchability may have ' oca ."nod, says Brown.
