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.

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 THE YANCEY RECORD in North Carolina forest I fire conscious, by instill ing in every citizen a sense of personal ' responsibility-. “Careless Matches Aid the Axis” is the stark truth. By burning forest pro ducts vital to our v. ar ef forts. by destroying wood using plants or causing them t6~'~siHtf. down, by ( l ■dangering- power-fetes- and war factories, by creating a pall of smoke that inter feres with submarine, de tection and airraid warn ing service and hump, rs j flying and artillery train- YANCEY THEATRE PHONE 199 BURNSVILLE, N.
