I bad heard somebody say that morning wax us larmers broke a record a growin out broilers last year. When I beard it, I didn't save it a second uiougm 'cause i ain't never been one to take after riggers the ones on paper, that is. ,';!,.

The more I thought about what a dern big bunch that was, the less I believed it Take me, for example, I consider myself a pretty dang good farmer and I try to keep up with things. ' But somethin must of happened, 'cause I had got mighty far behind if me and the other farmers .was tumin out that many chickens a year.

This is one of the great tragedies on the American scene and the death toll resulting must somehow be cut down. The annual death rate on the highways exceeds the rate in Korea, Before leaving on your 1952 vaca tion, it is suggested that you de termine not to hurry, even though your time may be limited. Haste, carelessness, and defective automo biles cause most highway tragedies. If you will practice patience and cour tesy on the highway, carefulness, and be sure your car is mechanically sound, chances are you will return from this year's vacation sound and ... refreshed. '.5.' ,:- The Month of May To many the month of May is the best of all months. Originally the third month of the ancient Roman calendar, May became the fifth month in the revised calendar. The theory of the origin of the name most widely accepted is that it comes from the word Maia, the Mother of Mercury. , To later generations May means many things. ' In the United States May means May Day and many May Day cele brations. It means the last month of school. It is the last month of the calendar year at Annapolis and West Point, is the month which brings young people thoughts of the future and the first hints of summer. A number of historic events have taken place during- the month. The battle of Manila Bay was fought on .May 1st, 1898. The famous words of Admiral Dewey 'You may fire when ready, Gridley" were spoken (if re ports were accurate) at about five A. M., May 1st, 1898.. v' May also brings us Derby Day in Kentucky, where the Kentucky Der by is run at Churchill Downs. This is the sporting event of the year to many turf fans. May brings back thoughts of the sinking of the Lusitania, which - occurred Hay 7th, 1915, off the coast of Ireland. This action by a German submarine, . was influential in bring ing about a state of war between Ger many and the United States. The first transcontinental railroad was complet ed in May, 1869, at Promotory Point, Utah. The first permanent English . settlement in America was founded at Jamestown on May 13th, 1607. The valor of Captain John Smith enabled the colonialists to resist the many at tacks of Indians. IMore recently, thoughts of May bring back memories of Charles Lindbergh's flight from nnnaevnlt.

Captain William Kidd came to an j They're the ones who put out figgers end on May 23rd, 1791, when Kidd dangled from the end of a rope, at Eecution Dock, London. . Perhaps the saddest of thoughts aroused by the arrival of May come to mind in con nection with Memorial Day, which is May 80th in moat states of the Union. The tender thoughts of millions go back to heroes of our country, who gave their lives to protect it and its traditions, in the month of May. Perhaps above all else, however, the month of May brings a beauty to the i countryside few of us fan to appre ciate. The beauty that Is May is a new miracle every year, which some how grows more impressive with the passing years. iShe looked at me as if I had said, I believe I'll go shoot my mule after I finish eatin supper. Then she said, "What in the world business have you got in Raleigh?" To which I spoke back and said, "I want to go see if we raised anything like any 32 000,000 broilers here last year, that's one reason. Another one is that I want to find out what in the heck is becomin of them chickens and, By Ned, I just want to go to Ra leigh and see what it looks like, Now, is that enough reason, or do you want to be stubborn about ft," I said to her.- V'.'"-- . Well, we slept on the idea, and she was all set on jroin by morniik We left home about 5:30 and got to Ra leigh about 9 o'clock. '. Fannie lowed she'd just wain in the car while I went in the Agriculture Building and found out about the chickens, v When I walked In, a Won- denn which way to go, up, down, or just wait there, some pretty , little miss saw my perdicament and asked if she could help me. I told here I wanted to talk to someone, about chickens, so she told me to go up to the third floor and see Mr. Ralph Kelly in the Markets Division. Well sir, I found him right off, and I must say he really knows his stuff about the chicken business. I told him about what I heard and that I didn't believe it. He started right out to talkin and in a very few min utes he had me believing that we must've raised them. He also made me feel pretty ignorant without meanin to, when he told me that some of our farmers was a raisin over a hundred thousand broilers a piece every year. But what I really enjoyed was his talking about this poultry processin in dustry that we got right here in our own state. I reckon from what he says, we got the best one in the coun try. ' Accordin to him, there's 140 of these plants located all about over the state and some of 'em are dressin 50 to 59,000 chickens a week.' And, be sides that, , they are puttin a chicken on the market that them city folks really go for. He went on to say that if it weren't for these proces sors we wouldn't be raisin nearly as many chickens and the ones we did raise would have to be sent up north and dressed and then brought back here for resale. "Naturally," he went on, "this would mean less profit to the grower." And that one thing was enough for me to be mighty thank ful for our fine poultry processing in dustry. '. He told me a lot more about where our chickens was goin ome of 'em are bein dressed and sent all the way to Korea. That made me feel pretty good too, 'cause some of them chick ens I raise might be amongst them those fightin boys are eatin. Well, we talked on for another hour, I ' guess, him teilin me that before too loig we might be raisin 50 million 1. Who won the Masters Golf Tour. ney recently T J 2. Who came in second T " 3.
