Rural Health Conf. Held In Wilson On Thursday, June 6, Wil son Memorial Hospital, Wilson, was the scene of the 1968 Re gional Rural Health Conference, sponsored bv the Medical So ciety of the Stateof NorthCaro llna, committee on Community Health, Rural and Urban. Th ere were about 75 persons pre sent. Attending from Duplin and Pen der Counties were School Nur ses, Mrs. Maxlne Kelly, Mrs. Mary Pierce, Mrs. RebeccahH. Judge, Mrs. Tlllle Cullipher, and Mrs. Martha Williams; Head Start Nurse, Mrs. Mary uowueu, ana r-enaer county ne' alth Department Nurses, Mrs. Mae Griffin and Mrs. Alma Lewis, andtwo local physicians. Dr. Edward L. Boyette, of Chinquapin, and Dr. Robert H. Shackelford, of Mt. Olive. in tnts current social cli mate of violence and trying to survive, health Is a necessary concern, both mental and phy sical. Malntainance of In dividual health is impossible without community health. An excellent proer am was pre sented with Dr. David Welton, President of the medical Soci ety of the State of North Ca rolina presiding. In presenting fact s of the Regional Medical Program, Dr. Simmons Patter son, of Duke University, gave the overall view, reviewing the legislation passed, and menti oned some of the Droiects. Dr. William DeMaria, on the faculty of Duke University, and Direc tor of Continuing Education with the Regional Medical Program, gave the University view of the program; and Dr. Robert Sha ckelfor. Board Member of the Attention To Details Saves Poultry Profits Like saving pennies, devot ing attention to the smallest detail? of a poultry operation can add up to big savings. > "this is true whether the operation is a contract or in dependent unit," according to Charles E. Brewer, area pou ltry agent with the Agricultural Extension Service, mirth Caro lina State University. The most Important "little detail" is feed waste, Brewer says. "This is probably the most costly of all management errors." if a hen "bills out" five grams of feed a day ? a com mon occurrence on many ' farms ? this waste amounts to four pounds a year. If feed cost $75 a ton, tnis would a mount to an annual loss of $1,500 in a 10,000-bird unit. Says Brewer, feed waste can be eliminated by filling feeders no more than one-third full. At that level feed waste is 1.3 per cent. When the feed trough is two-thirds full the feed was ted is about 7.5 per cent. Rate of lay is another big factor Influencing profits. "A good goal to shoot for," Brewer suggests, "is a peak production level of 80 to 89 per cent with a moderate decline of 2 per cent per month thereafter." If a flock produces 5 per cent below normal, a producer will lose 12 eggs per hen. With egg prices at 30 cents, gross income would be reduced {3.000 on a 10,000-bird unit. Some of the causes of re duced egg production are tem perature extremes, lack of water, diseases, parasites and improper lighting. "A good manager will watch for these things and note day-to-day cha nges in bird appearance, feed consumption, condition of drop pings and other indicators of a production slump," Brewer said. *? Parasites can take a big chunk out of the egg check. Lice and mite Infestations re duce production by as much as 15 per cent. This represents a daily loss of $25 where 10, 000 hens are Involved. Too many cracked eggs ? anything over about 2.5 to 3 per cent -- should be avoided. With only a 10 cent per dozen difference in the price of Grade A and cracked eggs, reducing cracks from 6-8 per cent to 2.5-3 per cent would mean a savings of roughly $1,000 on 10,000 birds. Carelessness, over-hand ling of eggs and Improperly adjusted equipment cause sucn breakage. ) ANNUAL JULY CLEARANCE SALE Starting Jnly 2 All Summer Fabrics -REDUCED '/sto'/l r. - ' The Sewing Basket Hwy. 117 North, Wallace N.

Hertz Rent A Car suggests you check your local auto rental location to find out what bargains are available, both in your home area and at your holiday destination. Rental cars are playing a growing part in making holidays more en|oy able. Hertz reports, thanks to the mo bility and convenience they provide. For example, many families ate us ing rental cars in these ways ? if they own a compact, they rent a full-size car to take the whole family wherever they're go ing in comfort. ? If they have a large family, they choose a station wagon to ac commodate everybody plus packages. ? If they're visiting down south, they fly in and reserve an air conditioned car waiting at the destination airport. man's profits. "Use of med icine and additives should be restricted to specific needs," Brewer commented. m ^ off to a slow start, backyard gardeners should expect In creased Insect activity -- along with disease problems ? when warming trends come, entomo logists say. Dr. Gerald Weekman, ex tension entomologist, reports inquiries to extension entomo logists have begun to soar, with requests for information con cerning the usual insect pests. He hopes gardeners will not become over zealous in their control with pesticide chemicals, however. < "Good control of insect pests requires following direc tions on pesticide-cnemical containers exactly," he said. "Using the right amount for the right insects, applying pro perly, and observing last ap plication dates ? in the case of vegetables to be eaten ? is very important. Identification of the insect is most important. Garden centers where pesticide-chem icals are bought usually car supply insect identification folders or circulars. Most gardeners have a good insect identification book on their bookshelves," he said. "But county extension of fices can be consulted along with other resources for iden tification information. And a new publication, produced pri marily for commercial pro ducers of food crops, has just been published as "Vegetable Insects of North Carolina," Ex tension Circular 313.
