Broiler Industry Expands Rapidly Figures presented to the mid century fact' - finding conference of the Institute of American Poul j try Industries held recently in j Kansas City, show that North Ca? ? olina broiler producers are. a mong the best in the nation in the ; management of their flocks, ac cording to Professor R. S. Dear styne, head of the poultry de partment at State College. The average Tar Heel produc er, Dearstyne said, now markets his broilers at 10 to 1^ weeks of ^ge, compared to 12-14 weeks in 1940, and the weight of the birds when marketed is 2% to 3Vi lbs.' compared to 2% pounds a decade | ago. This record Is exceeded only i i,n the New England States, where > broilers reach an average weight of 34- ? 3 pounds in 10-12 vtfeeks.i The report also showed that broHer _ production expanded more rapidly in North Carolina from 1940 to 1950 than in any oth er section of the country except Georgia. Tar Heel producers rais ed only 1,700,000 broilers in 1940, compared with an estimated pro duction of 17,811,000 for 1950. This is an increase of 947 percent, sec ond orjly to an increase of 1360 per cent recorded in Georgia. Other statistics showed that the average flock size in North Carolina is now 1,000-1,500, com pared to 400-500 in 1940, and that four to five broods are r?*?ed per year as compared with onl> three 1 broods per years in 1940. Many Franklin County farmers are having their soil tested now to prepare for fall seeding of pas tures. J Relax. Refresh with a frosty bottle of lively, energizing ?CHEERWINE!

The winning state will be the one whose average yield shows the larger percentage increase : over the average for the 10-year > period 1940-49. Last year, when j Virginia won, the contest was ba- i sed on the bushels-per-acre in - [ crease over the average for 1937- ! 46 North Carolina's 19 aver- j age was 25.6 bushels per acre:! Virginia's was 32.8. If the Old ! Nor'h State makes the same av- j erage yield it did last year ? 35 bushels per acre ? the increase will be about 27 percent. If Vir- j ginia repeats its 1949 record with i another average yield of 47 bush- I els, the increase for that State] will be about 30 percent. On thisj basis Virginia would win again j The terms may seem unfair to , North Carolina, but Dr. E. R. Col- , lias, in charge of aronomy for j the State Extension Service, I thinks otherwise. He points out | that Old Dominion farmers have [ 1 had several good season for] corn, and they's overdue for a bad year. In addition, says Dr. 1 Collins, Virginia growers have a- 1 dopted corn hybrids much more j j rapidly than have Tar Heel far mers, and North Carolina can I expect larger increases in the fu- j ture as more and more hybrids j are grown. j All in all, Dr. Collins thinks! the terms for the contest the fair est that could be worked out. \ Average corn yields for the two ] states from 1940 through 19-19 ' have been: | ! North Carolina ? 19.5, 22, 20, ? 22, 22.6, 25, 27, 31.5, 31 and 35 ! bushels per acre; Virginia ? 27, 26, 27, 25, 26, 33. 36, 43, and 47 ( bushels per acre. The supply of cigarettes manu factured in the United "States last ! year amounted to 2,435 per per- 1 son. Grand National At Martinsville MARTINSVILLE, Va. ?

It's not for more money. If's not because of hours. It's only for soft feather-bedding spots for additional unneces sary firemen to go along in diesel locomotives just for the ride. A leading liberal newspaper calls the demands of the union leaders horse-feathersi ? The reckless leaden of the firemen's union want to force down the throats of the railroads and the public a ridic ulous "make-work" proposal which has been twice ruled out by Presidential Fact Finding Boards duly appointed under the provisions of the Railway Labor Act. This demand of union leaders for additional and unnecessary firemen to ride in dieeel locomotives was rejected ? after months of hearing* ? by a Board appointed by President Roosevelt in 1943. v It was again rejected in 1949 by a Board appointed by President Truman. Reoff-it greetings with the National Mediation Board have brought no change in the attitude of the union dictator* Union Leaders Defy Intent of Law The union leader* helped write the Railway Labor Act. Yet in ?a, attempt to jam through this scheme of pur* '? ?' ?, \Vi,\ , , ' f ' Lh?^'^?Wiki< f V "feather-bedding" by leading the mem ber* of their union out on strike and threatening paralysis to large areas of the nation, they are defying the spirit and intent, of the very law which they he!oed to creatf This ?t;ike is not for higher wages. It is a strike to torce the railroads to employ many more thousands of fire men i who are not needed ! It would be indefensible waste. The railroads have refused to place this additional and , unnecessary burden on the public. But more important than any other consideration, is the action of these few irresponsible union leaders in seek ing to force a crippling strike upon the This strike is one of the silliest strikes in history! What are these reckless union leaders trying to do? 'I'hey seek to cause thou sands of their members to strike, and throw hundreds of thousands of other employes on and off the railroads out of employment, with loss of pay to. them and their families, plus a severe blow to industry and the citizens of the nation. What'* the strife* oil about T If the union has its way ? what happens? The present memliera of the union won't get one cent more pay. They will merely have been assessed for a costly and in defensible dri ve in an at tempt to pro vide more due*- paying members for the union by creating "feather-bedding" johs for additional and unnecessary firemen This if, certainly one of* the silliest strike* in history ' nation for their own selfish purposes. There ia no other possible answer to such a demand but "No!" The railroads in making such a reply believe they have the whole-hearted support of the people in whose interest they are willing to fight this out, de spite the loss and inconvenience that all will suffer. It is time to put an end to such un American demands. , *ASTfRu SOUTHfASTEi?M WISTIBN Railr We are publishing this and other advectiaamente to talk to you at firet hand about matters which are important to everybody. ? tta *' ? ? ?? _ .? :?
