THE LICiHT OF EASTER
At Easter this year, we find ourselves grappling in
the dark with innumerable problems, fearful of the
future.
,Mind and body can take us duly just so far. From
Science has taught us how to use radar waves
that point on, we must call upon the power of the
human spirit.
which go out and come back, telling us of the shores;
that lie ahead. Can we not use religion in the same
way ?
Let us send our prayers this Easter Sunday out and
up to God. If we will do this, back will come new faith
and strength, and a clear light that will lead our feet
to the paths of peace and brotherhood.

North Carolina’s honey
bees produced an estimated
crop of over G million
pounds of honey during
1947. This was almost dou
ble the 1946 crop and three
times more than in 1945.

COWS INCREASES
IN STATE
<
Both the number of milk s
cows and production of '
milk per cow increased in ]
North Carolina from 1939 1
to 1944, reports C. Brice i
Ratchford, Extension Farm 1
Management specialist at i
State College.
A recent report by the
Bureau of the Census
shows that the number of
cows increased by 33,515,
or 11 per cent, and gallons
of milk produced increased
from 143 to 161 million, or
12.6 per cent, Mr. Ratchford
said.
However, there were 3.8
million pounds less butter
churned in 1944 than in'
1939, a decrease caused
largely by extension of milk
routes which have made a
whole milk market avail
able for more farmers, the
• specialist pointed out.
Mr. Ratchford - said a
■study of the census shows
that the number of cows
. per farm has increased. In
1944 there were fewer fam
ilies with one cow than in
1939, but more families
with two, three, and four
cows. Almost twice as many
families had five to nine
cows in 1944.
In spite of the increase in
cow numbers, 105,000 or 36
per cent of the 288,000 farm
operators still did not have;
a cow in 1944, the Extension
worker declared, adding
that the increase in popula-l
tion and incomes and im-l
provement in diets have in '
creased the overall demand
for milk in the state andj j
opened the door for an in-! J
crease in commercial herds. J
Production per cow re- I
mains relatively low in
North Carolina, being only I
1,047 pounds per cow in t
1944 as compared with 4,807 \
pounds for the nation as a J
whole. Better feeding, bet- 1

i | SUCCESSFUL BROOD- J
ING REQUIRES , 1
GREAT CARE
Providing ample floor J
space, maintaining normal 1
| brooding temperatures, and |
1 providing adequate ventila- ||
tion are three practices k
i which often are neglected l
in the .brooding of baby !
chicks. |
The success of North |
I Carolina poultrymen this
year will depend to a large k
extent upon how carefully
they carry out these prac- J
tiees.
Overcrowding baby chic
ks is a sure way to check k
their growth and reduce -k
vitality, the poultry leader g
said. Reduced vitality in
turn causes the outbreak of
various diseases. Each k
chick should have one-half %
square foot of floor space g
when started in the brood- J
er house and this space Jl
, should be increased as the
[ chicks develop in size.
Excessive brooder house 1
j temperature gives the same k
l results as overcrowding. g
[ Normally, during the first 5
[ ew days, the temperature J
1 should be 95 degrees at k
\ a hout 2 inches above the k
1 Uoor at the edge of the g
[ brooder. This temperature g
I can be reduced five degrees J
: each week until the chicks J
I are feathered out, depend- 1
: ing on the outside tempera- k
: tures, he said.
The central Piedmont
section grows more wheat k
than any other area in %
North Carolina.
