75-Year-Old Man Makes Good With His Poultry Flock SHowi V#on(fr Generation Thai Bepreeaion Is Word Not To Be Found in His Vocabulary. <H. flay Ferree in Winston-Salem Journal.* Depression? Hard times? Well, it often depends upon who you are and what your normal outlook on life may be. For the person who is eaelly frightened and ready to quit mast anything is likely to happen to make him the more miserable. But W. O. Michael, of Kerners ville, is not that son of person, and while other folk have been yelling calamity, he has been steadily ac cumulating money. Mr. Michael is now at the point m life where the average man ts ready to throw up the sponge and retire from active labor. He is 73 years old. But instead of quitting the game of life, he has apparently decided bo begin a new phase of it. Sometime ago, Mr. Michael be came interested in poultry and be gan to bufld up a flock. Later as his flock developed, he decided to follow the advice of extension serv ice authorities and keep records. He found m regular market for his eggs and kept a record of production and sales. From Novmber 1, 1929, to Nov ember 1, 1930, Mr. Michael sold from his flock of 1,003 hens a total of 12,527 eggs, for , an aggregate price of $4,109,50. His cost of feed ing amounted to $1,369.10. his profit over feeding thus totaling the sum of $2,730.40 for one year. Mr. Michael discovered that his old hens laid an average of 100 eggs a hen during the 12 months’ period. These fowls paid for their feed, but that was about all. The pullets on the other hand. did much better, making a profit for themselves and the old hens also. Mr. Michael has therefore begun culling the old hens and replacing them with pullets in order to de velop a more profitable flock. He has found that good laying hens can become the more profitable if fed grains grown on the owner's farm, so ha is marketing his sur plus grain via the chicken and egg rout*. tn the Michael flock for the year during which record of production was kept were 565 pullets and 436 eld hens. By feeding home-grown grains, Mr. Michael was enabled to teep his feeding costs down and at rhe same time turn his surplus grains into real money. This is a very Important point to study in connection with farming and poul try raising, according to R W. Pou county agent, who has given the , poultry business in this section par ' vicular study. According to Mr. Pou, the re markable phase of Mr. Michael's poultry work is the fresh outlook on life which enabled him to begin it in his later years. The Kernersville poultryman has manifested a keen interest in keeping records and in building up a profitable flock by adopting modern methods of hand ling his flock. Which is indicative : of the fact that "where there's a "•111 there's a way.’’ is an aphorism ■ust as applicable to old age ir. many instances a* it is to modern j outh. Guensers Going Bit Wrong Here . Charlotte New*. From one who signs himself "A Brummitt Supporter," we have the information that Mr. Ehringhaus is "the administration candidate" and that Governor Gardner is trying to line up the newspaper editors of the State in behalf of the Elizabeth City candidate. Our unknown friend evidently thinks he is able to put the clamps on The News at least as to this point by remarking that “it is evident that you are carrying out 'orders received from Governor Gardner when you dined with him recently to Shelby.” If all of Mr. Brummitt’s friends over the state are as far afield in their general knowledge of matters as is this particular supporter here, tie would do well to round them up . and give them a little talk on ele • mentals. For instance, Mr. Brummitt would itoubttaft tell our contributor who ^Charges that this newspaper has re ceived orders from Governor Gard ner to support Ehringhaus that The News has been up to its neck in urging Mr. Maxwell to announce himself and to trying to proclaim him as the man the State needs in this emergency against Ehringhaus, Brummitt and all the balance of toem.

Shanghai, Aug. 25.—The govern ment moved today to aid the tens of millions of flood victims in Cen tral China. T. V. Soong, chairman of the flood relief committee and minister of finance, said the government is contemplating cash purchases of foodstuffs, in addition to credit purchases, to the extent of about $50,000,000 Mexican <$10,000,000 gold * He declared the government must assume the responsibility for about $60,000,000 Mexican for im mediate relief requirements. Soong points out, however, that owing to the severity of crop and property damage, the expenditure of even $100,000,000 Mexican <$20, 000.000 gold) would hardly be suf ficient to furnish necessities of life for the flood victims. The Associated Press learned that the Chinese government intends to address a new request to Washing ton, seeking more liberal terms in connection with the proposed sale of 15,000,000 bushels of wheat to China by the United States farm board. Previous negotiations for the wheat encountered a wide diver gence of terms asked and offered. The Chinese proposed a ten year credit and “liberal terms'' with re spect to interest,, while the farm board countered with a proposal for four and one-half pier cent inter est and payment within two and one-half to four and one-half years. Meanwhile Hankow, center of the flood area, entered its second stage of privation today when the meat supply failed. Additional supplies must be floated to the city down the Yangtse river from above the flood area. Since the vegetable sup ply was exhausted several days ago the populace has been depending upon grain. Afraid of Typhoon Hankowltes also were apprehen sive lest destruction of the oity be completed by a typhoon, the fore runner of which, a strong wind was whipping what remained of the once important Yangtse river port. Undermined foundations of Han kow, and also of Wuchang and Hanyang, the tri-cities that com prise the Wuhan area, would be certain to collapse under the added attack of a storm. More than 400,000 hunger-crazed refugees continued to cling to the hills back of Wuchang, suffering the pangs of hunger. their limbs distorted from drinking the rancid flood waters, and herded together like so many sheep Kuomin News Agency reports said more than 1.000 of these refu gees perished when a fresh break appeared in a dyke holding back the Yangtse.

FACTORY $5 3 5 NtW PLYMOUTH IS SOLD BY ALL DODCP Dt SOTO CHRYSLER DEALERS Dairyman Gives Facts On Work Hard To Food One Cow On Feed Grown On Onr Acre Land. ■ Mecklenburg Times* "Many of the leading farmers in Mecklenburg and other counties have been trying for years to grow enough feed on one acre of land to feed one cow, and have decided that it is almost impossible thing to do.” said YV. Frank Graham last week as he was showing a representa tive of the Mecklenburg Times his fine fields of corn. The corn he was showing was 40 days old and is now ten fret, or more tall and just tasseHng. It will get to about 14 feet before it it fully mature. The rows are not very wide apart and the corn is very thick in the drill. Between the stalks of corn there are soy bean and these are about waist high and of luxurious growth. it hardly looked posible for more to be grown on an acre He has 50 acre, like this. As soon as this corn is mature tfti whole corn and soy beans will be cut and shredded and placed in large silos near the dairy barn. This will be fed to his 75 dairy cow» along with the hay harvested be fore the corn was planted. He has 2,500 bales of this hay stored in the barn at this time. Tins silage and hay will be supplemented with commercial dairy feed. He said Kope Elias, county agent, told him there was no finer crop of hay and corn In the county than he had. Yet he claims that he will not br able to feed a cow per acre this year. Mr. Graham says he would have to make more than eight tons per acre to do this. He gave the names of several dairymen who have tried to feed a cow per acre and that they had all given up the thought that it could be done, notwithstanding the fact that one or two have been claim ing that it has been done Mr. oranam lives on the Park road about five miles from Charr lotte and has one of the finest dairies in this county. He sees grade A raw milk in Charlotte and en joys an excellent trade. The fine quality of his milk has held his customers from year to year at the best prices.

All of the bottling equipment is! washed with boiling water and; then with cold water and ts clean and sanitary, at all umes, The whole dairy and farm is under the I personal supervision of Mr. Gra ham, who takes a great pride in producing the best milk that can be sold.
