F. S. A. NEWS
Poultry Flocks Being
Improved n Yancey
County
Last spring our secre
tary of Agriculture empha
sized strongly the import
ance of increasing our
foot! supply for ourselves
and~our allies. He specifi
cally mentioned that one
way of doing this was by!
producing more and better j
poultry.
Ap p roxiro ately forty j
Yancey County F. S. A.j
families have met this
challenge very successfully
according to Mack B. Ray,
County RR Supervisor.
First, they 1 realized that j
with their mixed flocks,
some over age and not pro- I
perly culled, -they were not 1
getting what they should,
from their poultry. As a ‘
result over 4JX)O purebred ,
r "dual jlurpo.se "Type chicks ,
1 were purchased. To their
‘ amazement with good care *
! over 90 per cent, of the
' chicks were raised. The (
1 pullets are now ready t o ’
' start laying and no doubt ‘
’ will aid in filling the allies
’ war egg basket.
Two typical casse among
the families that purchased
the chicks are the I. T. Fox
family route 1 Burnsville
and the Henry Silvers fam
ily, Celo. Mr. Fox decided
befo r e purchasing hi s
chicks to build them a
house. This was done, by.
using materials already on
the farm and by covering
with boards. For heat, a
furnace was built under j
the house. He now has 40
pullets ready for egg pro
duction.
The Silvers family was
even more successful. They
purchased 150 chicks and
were sent 153 by the huteh
' ery. They raised 151 chicks
■ and are now willing to chal-
I lenge this record with ex
■ pert | poultry producers.
With 75 pul
■ lets their .farm income
during ' the coming year
. will certainly he increased.
Also their laying hens will
jnot have to roost out in
| the trees. . j
Many other F. S. A. fam
ilies have been"just as"suc
cessful. Approximately 50
new poultry houses have
been built and others plan
ned. Families are keeping
records of their income and
expenses, and can satisfy
themselves on the outcome,
it is hoped'Tfßht through
better feeding, proper cull
ing, good care and treat
ment of all
county farm families wiil
do their part in producing
more food and feed to whip
the axis.

PREVENT EOREST TIRES I
CARELESS MATCHES |
All) THE AXIS
Fire, the proverbial en
emy 6f Southern forests,
for the first time is facing
an all-out blitz attack. The
initial blow was delivered
on October 1, which mark
ed the beginning of the
nation-wide WA R TIME
-FOREST—FIRE PREVEbb
TION CAMPAIGN in the
Southern States. h
The State Forest Service,
the U. S. Forest Service,
the Extension Service and
all other public and private
forest fire control agencies s
-------
will adopt the technique of
- warfare by. coord-,
mating their separate ag
encies into a solid front
for a knock-out blow, aim- 1
ed at cutting down the
losses from forest fires.
The slogan adopted for the
Campaign is “CARELESS
MATCHFiS AID THE
AXIS".
At the present time,
State Forester J. S. Holmes
iexplains the South faces a
| graver forest fire menace
than ever before in its his
tory. Forests are vitally
essential in the country’s
war effort. Many billions
of board feet of lumber
and other forest products
are needed for wartime
construction, shipbuilding,
training planes, crates and
other containers for war
products, and a long list of
other war needs.
The effort to meet these
wartime demands is taxing
the South’s forest indus
tries, already hampered by
lack of men and of trans
portation difficulties. Ev
(ery sawmill, pulp and pa
per mill, and other wood
1 using industry in North
Carolina is operating at
top capacity. Forest fires
, interrupting the flow of
raw materials to these in
’ dustries must by all means
• be prevented.
Forest fires burn more
' acres in the South than in
' aIT tbe rest of the country
combined. For the 5-year
* period, 1936-1940, there
■ was an average -of over
) 42,000 forest fires a year
in the South, on protected
land. Including unprotec
ted land, there was an av
erage of over 160,000 for
est f : res a year, covering
an area of 29 million acres
and doing more than Thir
ty Million Dollars damage.
What man causes, man
can prevent. The best way
to fight forest fires, State
Forester J. S. Holmes poin
ts out, is to not have any
forest fires, to stop them
before they start. The
goal of .forest fire preven
tion can only be obtained |
by making every person

PLAN YOUR TIME
FOR VICTORY
i_
Every loyal homemaker
i in America is now asking,
“What can I do for my
country?” They are eager
.to mobilize their home,
) family, tools, jobs, and
. time, to help win victory
and peace for the country.
The homemaker has
1 >more jobs to do in time of
war, grow and conserve
1 more food, take better
care of equipment, guard
. The health of the family,
j maintain family morale,
v - and give time to war acti
> vities. These, and many
. other duties she must do
with less help. The wise
use of time in doiny these
everyday duties will con
tribute to our national vic
tory and world peace. Re
organizing the - homemak
er’s and her family’s time
is one of the problems in
many homes.
Quiz yourself and see if
you are:
1. Are you tired, nervous
and confused?
2. Does your family
. share the work and re
’ spossibility of your home?
3. Is y6ur job never
done?
4. Do your tools do the
job?
4 5. Is your clothing suit
,l able and comfortable?
Time, energy, and health
of the family can oe con
served by well-planned
, \vork centers, good tools,
and correct methods.
