AGRICULTURAL MARKETING SERVICE Nearly 18,000 cards are being left at random in rural mail boxes throughout North Carolina. When filled out by farmers and returned,, these cards will help Henry L. Rasor, North Carolina Statistician, Agricultural Market ing Service, determine how many livestock and poultry are on farms in the State. Mr. Rasor lauded the United States Post Office and rural mail carriers for their cooperation in FLOWERS FROM HONOLULU . Charles E. Laurents Mrs. Thomas f». Taylor, of Hono. lulu, only sister of the late Mr. Charles E. Laurents, sent a bunch of anthuria - native flowers of the* Hawaiian Islands - to her sister-in-1 law, Mrs. Laurents, as a loving* tribute to Mr. Laurents. The flow- 1 ers, large and deep red in color, came last week by air transport, and were displayed in two vases in the Presbyterian Church on Sunday morning. Whe n the congregation was informed about the flowers, the pastor called for a moment of silent prayer in tri bute to Mr. Laurents. On Sune»ay, December e, Mr. Reeve will preach on the subjett “Let Us Spiritualize Christmas!’ At this service, the congregation will make use for the first time of the new hymnbooks that have been procured, through the generosity of many families of the congrega tion under the auspices of the young people who made this one 1 of their projects for this year. The men of th-* CB.urch wib have their monthly breakfast with busi ness, meeting and study of the Sunday School lesson on Sunday at 8 a. m. making this annual survey. “With this help, we’re able to get an accurate picture of our State livestock and poultry hold ings,” Mr. Rasor said. Every farmer who gets a card is urged to fill it out as accurately as possible and return it promptly, “The more reports we get, the more reliable our estimates will be," Mr. Rasor pointed out. This survey is the basis for the State and national inventories of livestock and poultry on farms as of the first of the year. It includes cattle, cows, hogs, sheep, goats. * horses, mules, chickens, and turkeys.
