ORANGE SELLING
PURE-BRED EGGS
Farmers get 10 Cents Apiece;
Great Encouragement to
Poultry Campaign
ONE PERSON ORDERS 435

For the first time in its his
tory Orange county is selling
pur6-bred eggs in quantity out
side Of its own borders. A few
days ago, as a result of letters
sent out by r. 2. Harris to vo-
catlonal agriculture teachers
over the State, one person or
dered 20 settings of IS eggs each
.-435 eggs in all. Mr.. Harris
went around and gathered them
from several breeders and
shipped them Saturday.
f The price obtained was 10.
cents an egg. This is three or
four times as much as is realized
from the selling of them as COM
mon eggs in the ordinary mar
ket.
Fose who supplied the set
tings were E. p. Woods, c. w.
Merritt, and Mrs. ". j. Smith,
all of Route /, Hillsboro; c. w.
Sparrow and j. u. Pearson of
Route1, Chapel Hill; Harry c.
Wills Of Chapel Hill; Mrs. Har-
mon Mclver of Oaks; and Mr..
Davis, mail carrier on Route 3,
HillSboro,
Before this order was received
$50 pure-bred eggs had been
sold i'll scattered lots, 50 that
the total number marketed in
the last fortnight is 785.
. This is convincing proof of
the advantage of pure-bred poul-
try over the common sort. 1t
is great encouragement to the
men and women who are inter-
ested in putting Orange on the
map as a poultry breeding
county.
Ever since the letters were
sent out, telling North Carolina
Of pure-bred eggs and chickens
for sale in this section, inqui-
rieS have been coming in.
Harry C. Wills of Chapel Hill
has incubators of a total capaci-
ty of $50 eggs. He had a fine
hatch only few days ago.
Brady and Melvin Lloyd, sons
of ?. c. Lloyd who lives out to-
ward Antioch, are planning a
1,5O0-cgg incubator for next
year. With this equipment they
can do custom Matching" that
is, take in other peoples eggs to
hatch.

Sewage Disposal Is Big Problem
That the Town Must Soon Solve

Chapel Hill has got to do
something about it's sewage, and
do it promptly.
The creek to the north of
town-called creek by courtesy,
but really nothing but a sewer
ditch during many months Of
the year-has become not only
a nuisance to people whose
homes are near it, but menace
| to the health of the entire COM
munity. Already two men who
live within smelling distance Of
the stream, Jack Sparrow and
Charlie Martindale, and one
whose land is traversed by ii,
Robert l.. StroWd, have spoken
of bringing suits against the
town.
However, the board of alder
men will probably forestall any
such action by going ahead rap
idly with their plans for a dis
posal plant. Studies of the prob
lem have been under way some
time. Thorndike Saville, the
sanitary engineer on the board
of health, has made reports to
the aldermen, and Town Man
ager Edward M. Knox has been
/ making estimates of cost.
Temporarily, as an emergency
measure, the sewage is to be
treated, where it comes out of
the pipe into the creek, with a
disinfectant and with chloride of
lime. The lime will be put into
solution and will be applied by
an automatic dripping device
A Floating" disinfectant will be
applied to serve as a deodorant.
Although no definate assur-
ances are given now, the town
authorities hope to get the dis
posal plant completed by the ems
of next fall, but before start
can be made, there are trouble
some questions to be settled.
One of these questions is: Will
it be more economical to run
several miles Of pipe and bring
all the sewage to- one disposal
plant, or to build two or three
separate plants?
Growth of Sewer System
In the beginning the sewers
of Chapel Hill, like the water
supply and the electric lighting,
were a University enterprise.
AS more and more of the people
outside the campus came to use
them they were taken over by
the town government, but the
University continues, of course,
to be the chief user. This leads
to the hope that, when it comes
to paying for the disposal plant,
the University, which is exempt
from taxes, will contribute a
considerable part of the cost.
There are two sewer lines
emptying into the creek north Of
town. One crosses the main
street two hundred yards or so
west of the old Baptist church
and runs parallel to Church
street along the edge of the ne

gro section. The other runs
down the old Hillsboro road by
the Winston, Mangum, and War
ren homes. This latter carries
the greater volumes of sewage.
Most of the University buildings
discharge into it.
The suggestion has been made
that, in order to avoid the con-
struction of separate disposal
plants, the distance between the
western outfall and the outfall
down near the Hillsboro road
should be piped. But that would
not be the end Of it. There re-
main to be considered the homes
a. the east end of town, the,
MacNider, Henderson, Saville
homes and others, out along the
Durham road-which have no
sewer connections at all but de-
pend upon septic tanks, or cess
pools. 1t is practically certain
that these will be connected
with a sewer to be built down
the ravine back Of the Royster,
7. S. Graves, Henderson, Green
law aud MacNider homes. Thus
there would be three outfa4ls, in
stead of two, into the creek
north of town; and if there were
to be a single disposal plant,
then the pipe line from the west
ernmost discharge point, near
the negro section, would have to
be continued on down the course
of the creek to meet the third
outfall.
Sewers to the South
Thus the problem is seen to
be one with many complications.
And it goes beyond the sewers
emptying into this creek, What
about the south side of Chapel
Hill? There are the settlements
up around Isaac w. Pritchard
and Howard W. Odum, there are
the new University buildings
soon to go up south of the
boundary of the old campus,
there is the Gimghoul develop
ment on the far edge of Battles S
Park. It would appear that,
here on the south, new sewer
lines will have to be built and
that for them, as for those to
the north of town, there will
have to be a disposal plant.
An engineer attached to the
McCrary Company of Atlanta,
a concern that builds sewer dis
posal plants, appeared before
the aldermen at their meeting
last week, and the company is to
send one Of its representatives
here again within a few days
for another consultation.
AS to the cost of proper sew
age disposal, neither Mayor
Robertson nor Town Manager
Knox is willing to name any fig
ure yet, for the reason that the
different solutions of the prob
lem would entail widely differ
ent costs, and an estimate now
would not be much more than

Siasm: "You tell her just to

came to Peoria in Hamlet young
Koch said to his parent: 'I'm

it on the stage" His father re-
piled with a question: "How
much do tickets cost? 2" Upon
being told, he reached into his
pocket, drew out, a dollar, pre-
sented it to his son, and said
"Well, here's the ticket and
will let you go, but I'want you

Dor village to the west was

is pleasant to hear that the

FACTS On STATE
FORESTRY PLIGHT
ARE MADE PUBLIC
Conservation Department
Shows Tremendous Waste
of Resources,

The recent State forestry confer
ence in Indianapolis. prompted by
State conservation officials TO arouse
the people to the desperate need of
putting about two million idle acres
to work growing trees, brought out
some interesting facts on Hoosier
forest conditions.
Richard Lieber, conservation direc-
tor. has issued a bulletin setting out
these forestal needs;
Thirty-three southern Indiana
counties, which contain 100000
acres or 34.4 per cent Of the land
area Of the State. contain asa per
cent Of the timber.
In 1923 there were ,305.73 acres
of woodlands in Indiana. or 81 per
cent Of the total State area At the
same time there were 2,279. 800 acres
Of waste lands, or 90 per cent of the
States total area, making no money.
Indiana, according TO tho cooper
ating crop reporting service, in 1917
had ,664 $50 acres in woodlands, hut
five years later had only 1905. 1873
acres-an average annual decrease
of Il. $50 acres.
Indiana has long since ceased to be
self -supporting from a timber
standpoint, and now imports over 80
per cent OF timber used. Naturally
the consumers of wood pay this cost

Why They're Doing II

The reastns for The union are
broadly given as follows:
To eliminate wasteful duplication
in mission fields at home and abroad.
To eliminate the strife and dissen-
sions between sects Of the Christian
church which converts found il diff
ficult to understand.
To effect economies in administra-
tion, especially in sparsely settled
districts
To put the administration Of these
churches on q sound footing
The policy Of the new church is
Presbyterian in origin. There will
he a series Of graded courts com
posed Of an equal number Of lay and
ministerial members. First there will
he the session IN the congregation.
then the presbytery with jurisdic.
ton over districts, and next the con
ference. Above this there will be
special courts meeting annually,
such as the general council. the high
est court and the supreme govern
ing body.
Any church choosing to dissent
after Dec. 10 may retain fits congre-
gational property. IF group Of
tiissenters organizes a new church
a share of the property of the united
church will be allotted them. AS a
general rule all property win go with
its parent church into the union.
Their Total Strength
a commission. consisting of three
members from the united church and
three from a conference Of non-con-
curing congregations and six more
chosen by them both, will sit within
nine months from June 10 to deter
mine what share of the property
shall be retained by nOn-concurring
congregations.

uniting churches, according to the
dominion census of 1921. follows:
