Club Work Aids Poultry Raising.


Fourteen thousand chicks, repres-
entfng money value of over $11, 900,
was the most noticeable result of the
activities Of the poultry clubs in
North Carolina during 1915. This. the
authorities regard, very encouraging
evidence of the impetus toward pro.
duct1on Of pure-bred poultry the club
work is designed to furnish.
AS a matter of fact, 1915 was the
second year in which the poultry work
was carried on through club organi-
cations. While the work progressed
during 1914 in connection with the
routine activities of the county de-
monstration agents very little was
done. 1t remained for Mr.. A. G. Oil
yer, appointed in 1915 as agent in
charge, to systematic and organize
the efforts toward poultry raising.
During the year 1915, LOSS members
were enrolled in the poultry clubs
Most or these were the boys and girls
OF the farm but several ladies asked
TO become members in order that they
might receive the instruction in re-
gard to the raising and caring for
pure-bred fowls. Eight hundred and
forty-two members were eligible to
report at the end of the year and of
this number 327 sent in a complete,
authentic report. These reports show
ed that the boys and gir4 had raised
1860 chicks which represented
money value Of $11,2375O. In addition
to this, these members received in
the form of prize money offered for
pure-bred poultry at the different
fairs of the state $496.
The money value is, however, the
secondary consideration of the poultry
CLUB movement at present for it is
intended first to have the boys and
girls to devote their time to pure-bred
stock, and to do this the teachers of
the country schools have been enlist
ed In the campaign. During the year
1915, 10000 bulletins explaining the
work were mailed out to the rural
school teachers and the club members.
Fifty-five meetings were held at the
rural schoolhouses with total at
tendance of 1900 people interested
in pure-bred poultry. The work is
of necessity largely personal in ma
ture and it has been found that visits
to the schools are more effective than
letter writing. It is exceedingly pop
ular with the rural school teachers as
they have found in this a means of
reaching many boys and girls who
could not be reached before.
And the poultry club idea has spread
rapidly over the state. Some of the
teachers have found it such an effec-
tive means for reaching and holding
the interest of the pupils that they
have requested that problems be pre-
pared that are based on results obtain
ed with pure-bred poultry as against
mongrel type. These problems have
become vital part of the school work
and have interested the young people
in improving the farm flock so that
when marketing eggs only one class
and size is shipped in a cartoon; or,
on the farm where there 1s a poultry
club member, there is generally found
only one or possibly two breeds of
poultry and they are pure

ELEVEN BILLION FEET OF
LUMBER GOES INTO SAWDUST

n N the United States alone. exclusive
of numbering done in Alaska and
the island possessions, there is
tremendous waste of wood. The United
States forestry service has estimated
that the total waste is approximately
thirty eight billion feet of all the tim
Der which is milled. Much of this waste is
due to cutting. The branches cut from
logs are regarded as so much waste,
and slabs cut from the logs after they
have reached the mills are relegated to
the scrap heap. Chips cut from the
lumber are included in the total waste,
and not the least of all this is the saw
dust. Eleven of the thirty-eight billion
feet classed as waste material is saw

on the Titanic was over $I0.000.O0O.
But though Lloyds broker will I'M
derwrite practically any risk, it is a
rare thing for one of them to assume
the entire responsibility therefor. What
generally happens is this: Suppose a
ship of 100 tons is to be insured for
100000. The owner gets a broker to
draw out his policy and this Is taken to
an underwater. The first underwater
may agree to become responsible for
$4,000 of the 100000. The policy is
then passed on to other members of
Lloyd's and. particularly if the first in
dorsement is, a good one, these Others
will take up the remainder of the risk.
