I never thosM I'd live to see the
day when the grocery stores in North
Carolina didnit have a bin full of
Iriah potatoes for sale. But I guess,
I've lived longer than I figered 'cause
I heard the other day that some of
the stores didn't have 'em. In fact,
I seen it withmy own eyes.
Sid Smith told toe the other day
that he'd been out of potatoes for over
, two weeks and seemed like everybody
goin In his store wanted some. Well,
you could of knocked me over with
a tooth pick for I thought they'd be
the last thing in the world to get
scarce. Sid looked sorts worried tellin
me about it
"Here, Just a few years ago," he
j. said, "we were dumpin potatoes by
' the truck-loads just dumpin. 'em out
to rot," he shouted in sort of a crazy
manner. , "And now, I cant even buy
- a bag not one measly little bag of
; 'em to sell to my-customers." :h-?k
1 figgered he was nttm pretty up-
; set about it so I tried to change the
suoject. But it didn't work. So I
told him I had a few left from last
- year but tjhey probably weren't the
- kind that he wanted for sale. He said
he didnt figger they were either.
t .Then he commenced askin me what
I thought was causin the shortage.
And I was quick to tell him he oughta
knok better than ask me. I told him
I didn't even know they was scarce
tU I walked in his store. -Vv
He lowed though from what he had
heard, he could figger on bein able
to buy some in a few days. He said
he wrote a feller Bailey Rich,, who
he used to know, to find out when he
. could expect to git some potatoes.
Thia feller . Rich is one of them
marketin men in the Agriculture De
partment in Raleigh and he wrote Sid
that this was jest a temporary thing
whjdh should, clear up sometime In
June. The way he give it in to Sid, it
ain't but a few days before the farm
era In South Carolina will start diggin
potatoes. .And about that time our
farmers right, here will begin too. By
'the.' time they, git goto' pretty, good,
they'll start up in. Virginia V
I guess this feller Rich pretty well
steed up what to expect- when he
wrote Sid. f The-way. he give it in
was that South Carolina planted more
potatoes tiiis year than they did last
year. And prospects .there now point
to a mighty good yieia wnen tney
start diggin about the 20th f May.
Our crop here in NortSi Carolina is
sorta (Spotted, he wrote; but it's corn
in along -pretty nice' right . now and
some diggin will start Airing the week
of May 2j;'::te;.';;
His letter went on to say our neigh
bors up in Virginia report a fair to
good crop this year with plans to start
diggin about June 5. And about the
time these three states git goin good,
there will come shipments from far
away California. Then in July will
come Maryland, New Jersey and Long
Island. ":'.:''::..:'
So I reckon from the middle of
June on through the rest of the year,
Sid ought to be able to keep his po
tato bins filled to the brim. But this
feller Rich closed his letter by sayin
that he didn't want to lead Sid to
believe that potatoes would be a sur.
plus commodity or at bargain prices
for many weeks yet.
Sure glad I got a few at home.

flock; says' R. S. Dearsfyne, head jftf
the Poultry. Department at (North
Carolina State College. " ' ?
As the end of the laying year, ap
proaches, says Dearstyne. many birds
will begin going out of production.
Good business practice demands that
the culls be removed promptly.
Many pouRfymen use stimulating
practices to prolong the production of
their birds. Among these are use of
lights, wet mash, and pellets. It is
not advisable to use more than one of
these practices at the same time. And
any such practice that is started must
be continued.
According to Seanstyne, lights are
by far, the most commonly used stim
ulant The use of lights, he explains,
affects the pituitary gland. (Located
at the base of the brain of the chick
en's skull, this gland, when stimu
lated, liberates substance known as
hormones. These hormones stimulate
the ovary to manufacture egg yolks,
thus speeding up egg production.
All-night lights may be used as a
stimulant to prolong late spring and
early summer production. II the
birds have not been under lights, it is
well to take seevral days for a grad
ual change-over to all-night lights.
If wet mash or pellets are not in
use, either of these may be used at
about midday. The birds should be
given whatever quantity they can con.
sume in, 20 to 30 minutes. This prac
tice merely increases mash consump
tion. It is the mash in the chicken's
diet that furnishes the bulk of the
materials from which eggs are built.
