F. Parrish, head of the Exten ■ sion poultry office at N. ■C. State College. He says, i “there is misconception on ' the part of some farmers ■ as to lifne and liming ma ■ terials, and how to use ‘ them in relation to poultry work.” Lump lime, burned lime! . builders lime, and, caustic . lime are all unsuitable, .! Parrish said. These are i all calcium oxide. The same > applies to hydrated lime, , water slaked lime, and ag- I ricultural -lime, which are .prepared by adding water to the four' types first named. “This material,” said the Extension leader, “is caus tic and, if used on floors or runs, may cause injury to the bird’s feet. When used with poultry manure, the loss of nitrogen in the manure will result.” The most commonly used types of lime in poultry work, all of which are use ful, are: Ground limestone, agricultural limestone drot to be mnfused with agri cultural lime», air slaked lime, precipitated lime , ground oyster shells/ and • marl. l Also recommended, in the order named, are: Bas ic furnace slag, Gypsum or landplaster, and wood ash es. These limes are often added to chicken by poultrymen with the thought in mind of conser ving nitrogen. However, says Parrish, it would be preferable to add super phosphate at the rate of 2 pounds per day to the ma nure produced by eq&h 100 hens. Lime is not a good ger micide, said Parrish, but it is a good deodorant to aid Everybody Ev’ry Pay Day 6,000,000 Women Enrolled in War Savings "J?-- ■ ; Payroll Plan. ’’ WASHINGTON. D.

Automo -1 tive traffic on the State highways of North Caro lina showed a slight in crease during October as compared with the tabula tion for September, accor ding to traffic counter re ports by James S. Burch, ’ Statistics and Planning Engineer for the North Carolina State Highway and Public Works Commission. ■ October traffic is still , 45.5 per cent below what ■it was during the same month last year as compaiv , ed with a 47.8 per cent de cline during September. Burch attributed the 'slight increase to farm traffic resulting from lar ger crops and better prices He also disclosed there were twice as many buses on the highways as there were last year and consid erably more trucks. “This Will represent the last increase in traffic for the deration,” Burch pre dicted. “With ODT order 21 calling for war need cer tificates for all trucks, traffic in the State will take a large drop after ■November 15, when the new order went into effect. NOTICE l A “Mt. Mitchell Jambo ree” will be held at the , court house on Monday night, Nov. 23. Musicians from over Western North Carolina will take part inj , the interesting program of music and singing. 1 Cash income from farm marketings increased slig | htly more than usual from 1 August to September iin eliminating objection-! able odors. It will not aid to any great extent in de stroying infection on poul try ranges. THE YANCEY RECORD 1 NEW AUTO TAG IS 1-10TH AS LARGE—BUT r TWICE AS HARD TO BUY THIS YEAR v * - -ft ) Raleigh, N. C., Nov! 1942. Although Tar Heel auto owners will get only cne ■ tiny slip of precious metal for an auto tag —instead of the formidable two lar ge tags of previous years— they will go to twice as much trouble and spend three times as much time in getting them. And they’ll cost jygt as much. Consequently, it is anti cipated that tens of thou sands of last-minute appli cants may be earless as well as gasless January Ist, according to the N. C. Mo tor Vehicle Department, which is rather frantically trying to warn motorists to start buying their tags on Dec. 1, first day of sales Must Have Old Card In the first place, no 1943 tags will be issued un til the motorist has turned in his 1942 registration card. If the motorist bar lost his 1942 card, there is only one way to get it re placed—via the Motor Ve hicle office in Raleigh. Branch offices of the Car olina Motor Club, which is handling sales in about 69 cities, are forbidden to is sue replacements for lost 1942 cards. This is the first year the autoist has had to turn in his last year’s card, and of ficials estimate that some thousands of Tar -Heels will suddenly discover that they do not have one. They recommend that motorists check now to see if they have such a card, and. if not, to make application for replacement immediat ely. Their concern over this comes from the experience they had during the OPA gasoline r^stnation,, At that time, some- 40,000 North Carolinians discov ered had lost their 1942 registration cards, and the Raleigh Motor Ve hicle office was flooded for weeks with applications for replacements. At one time, around 1,000 lettene and telegrams were being i received each day, said Boddie Ward. Chief of the Bureau. Must List Occupation In the second place, each NAVYyBEGINS SPECIAL ENLISTMENT.
