For one thing, it has been grant ed me to have one of-the most in teresting jobs in the State. Better still, I have Ween fortunate e nough, through the years, to have had the privilege of working with a great group of sensible, intelli gent and ihteresting people. Yoa who edit and publish the newspa pers of North Carolina hdvte had as much, if not more, to do with the forward progress of North Carolina's rural life as any other one agency or organization. It is you who have told the story of how a better farm life may be lived. You have realized that once a round is not enough, and you have repeated that story in all of its various forms and rami flea, t ions since the old days of the eowpea and the one-horse plow to this new day of atomic research and self-propelled combines. Steadily, year by year, you have told of this farming advance and how the successful man needed t use all the late information available to keep pace with the changing times. As a result, North Carolina has not fallen be hind; but rather has been in the vanguard of the nation's agricul tural progress. ? At this.Christmas season, there fore, permit me to again thank you for your service to the farm people of this State. Permit me! further to thank you on behalf of the North Carolina State Col lege for making available to your rural readers the information which is developed here for the benefit of our people. It's good to work with you, and for you, and through you. Those of us in this editorial of fice are always keenly aware of the servicte you are rendering. At this Holiday Season we say sim ply, we thank you. Sincerely, F. H, Jeter, Editor Broilers Research Shows Protein Gain Recent research with 'broilers indicates that birds between six and ten weeks of age gain wei ght most efficiently on rations containing 18 or 10 per cent pro tein, according to Howard Clapp, Cleveland County farm agent for the State College Extension Ser vice. "Birds younger than six weeks require between 20 and 22 per cent protein for most rapid , growth and development. But af ter six or eight weeks, gains are equally rapid on the lower-pro tein ration, according to Mr. Clapp. On the other hand, broilers placed on a 16 per cent protein ration at six or eight weeks fail to gain as well as those on a ra tion containing 19 per cent pro tein. This means that 16 per cent is an inadequate protein level in the 6-to-10-week growth pe riod. The protein level in broiler ra tions can be reduced, says the county agent, by feeding grains, by feeding low-protein finishing pellets, or by using a lower pro tein all-mash system. Of these methods, the use of a lower pro tein all-mash system is the easiest and the most foolproof. The extra work involved in feed ing pellets or grain and the chance of reducing protein too much may offset the savings to be realized through the use of a lower protein ration. The all-farm products index of prices received by North Carolina farmers at local markets decrea sed 27 points (8.9 per cent) dur ing the month ended November 15. . OOPS! ? BID YOB DRW IT?

Test last year's bulbs and see how many of, them can he used again this year. We like think of the Christ mas season as one of joy and happlnness, but some of the most tragic home accidents have happened during the yuletide season. Both fires and falls take heavy tolls during the holiday season. Miss Whisnant advises that you check and recheck your Christmas lighting fixtures, wir es and plugs. A frayed wire or a damaged socket can be a source of grief. .... Miss Whisnant cautions, too, that In placing your Christmas tree this year, to place it close enough to a wall socket so that , you do not have to use extension cords. Some extension cords are not designed to carry an extra load. Cords placed under a rug are hazardous ? they may cause fire ? ? and those lying in the o pen may snare someone's foot. Placing your Christmas tree in a pail of damp sand will help to keep the tree fresh and green throughout the Christmas season and will reduce chances for fire from hot >bulbs. Whenever you leave the room in which the tree is placed, turn out me lights.
