Some operations, observed Mr. Braddy are more directly related than others. Almost as Important as the very feed the poultry consume. Is the electrical power that Is so important te this giant op eration. Four County Electric Mem bership Corporation in Rope Hill Is furnishing a dependable supply of power to their cus tomers in the area. The coun ties served by this corporation Include Duplin, Sampson, Pen der, and Bladen. Approximately 400 poultry farmers In these counties, are served by this facility. Mrs. Braddy Is keenly aware of the progress these poultry farmers making, and he takes pride with them in home it v ?? 'i- '? Improvements and thei pro gress. He Is also aware of the feet that his corporation's income from the poultry Industry has been a contributing factor in Four County Electric Mem bership Corporation meeting their financial obligations. The steady, or year around income these farmers receive Is providing them with a better way of life. Related agencies working with them are also profiting from the poultry In dustry, as they work together. A Primordial Metal? Nickel in trace amounts hat been found in marine organisms. Plankton sampled by marine biol ogista had twice as much nickel as was present In higher marine plants. Their nickel content was found to be ten times that of ilsh and mollusks examined.-It has been suggested that this concen tration of nickel is evidenc^Jjaff the element has som$ ^function in the growth or metabolism of plankton. Four County Electric Membership Corp is occupying one of the most attractive buildings in the area. The modern building provides a drive in -window, a lobby, book keeping office, private offices and a specious assembly room. Small Grower Strives For Perfection Mr. and Mrs. Roy Lee of Route 1, BeulavlUe are raisins broilers on a contract basis with Aycock Farm Inc. of Wallace. They have a 18,000 capacity . house and produce 60,000 to I - 76,000 per year. "One year the house Is filled four time," ex plained Mr. Lee "and the next year five times that depends on the Aycock's. We furnish the house and the labor. They furnish the feed and the chickens." The Lee's have more than 100 acres In their farm but a very small percent of that is cleared. They tend about four acres of corn and 2.2 acres of tobacco per year. It was Mrs. Lee's Idea that they supplement their income with broilers. "She was the one that wanted to get in the chicken business." said Mr. Lee "and now I am in it head over heels." But he is glad that he is in the poultry business, and is sure that he will make money once the house and equipment is paid for. The house has automatic eq uipment so really the first three weeks Is the only time they require much attention. Small flat containers must be used until the broilers are large enough to eat from the regular feeders. The Lee's take pride in grow ing nice broilers. One house recently averaged 4.28 pounds per bird. "1 told Mr. Gibson," said Mrs. Lee, '?that I did not want to raise JUST broilers, but rather I wanted to raise the very best broilers." And that la what the Leflfb are trying to do?to raise ^ 4W* " " " ' _T ' Mr. and Mrs, Roy Lee o f Beulaville have one broiler house that keeps both Mr. and Mrs. Lee busy. Supplementing their small farm income with broilers was ' ' Mrs. Lee's idea and now that her physical . : condition limits her physical activities, Mr. Lee says that he is left with the bag to hold. They are contract growers for Aycock Milling Company in Wallace.
