We must consider the public in

Greene smiled but-Since both are
aboriginal bruisers. a wild. wide open
fight is naturally expected. ard the

largely upon their offenses against

Who will be the referee? Greene
declared emphatically that he hasn't

However. many experts believe that
former champion Jim Braddock will
be the unluckv fellow. Braddock
of Woodcliff. N. j.. is very popular
among the fans in this area. More

WARRENTON, Jan. 81 -
Where there is a will to pre-

the winter, usually there is a
way.
No better example of this IAN
be found in Warren county than
one furnished by Eliza beth
Turner, a negro home dem Jn-

varieties of flowers this past sea-
son and desired to keep them
through the winter.
C. S. Wynn. negro farm agent
+ the State College Extension
service, says she built a log hut,
"dobbed' the cracks between the
poles with mud and cut two
windows on the side facing the
South. To insure warmth for
the flowers, she covered the top
with twelve inches Of loamy
soil.
THE house may be lacking in
architectural style but the beau

EARLY HATCHINCS
URGED BY CAUCER
Heavy Breeds Should BE
Hatched Between Febru-
airy l And March l

RALEIGH, Dec. 31-Because hlgh
egg prices are obtained in the 1ail
and winter months, North Carolina
poultrymen should prepare early to
hatch out pullets that will lay these
high priced eggs next season, H, c.
Gauger of the State college poultry
department said today.
The heavy breeds such as the
Rhode Island Reds, New Hamp-
shires and Barred Rocks shuold be
Matched between February first and
March first, while the light breeds
such as the Leghorns should be
Matched between March first and
April first.
North Carolina poultrymen who
do not trapnest their breeding birds
can raise the level of egg produc-
ton by selecting for breeders those
birds that are healthy, strong and
late molters," Gauger said. The
late molters usually are the best
egg layers and right at this season.
these late molters are not laying"
Hens, rather than pullets, usual
ly are best to S for breeders and
the Matching eggs should be secured
from these older birds but even then
no marked improvement in future
egg production will be secured I'M
less good males are mated to the
late melting hens. Try to use males
that come from hens which have
laid as many as 200 eggs each, the
year before. Then, if the males is
vigorous and true to type. good re-
suits should be secured.
Mr.. Gauger recommended using
one male with each IS hens of the
light breeds and one male to - hens
of the heavier breeds.
To get good hatchability feed the
breeders a well-balanced mash con.
tanning a milk b%yproduct. Milk,
Gauger said, furnishes vitamin :
which is necessary for high hatch.
ability. Green stuff also is needed
and the birds should have an ample
supply of oyster sh ellis and coarse,
hard grit.
Gather the Matching eggs twice a
day and store in a cool place until
used.

YIELD Of COTTON

Farmers Harvest About Is
Pounds More Per Acre In
1899 Than In 1898

RALEIGH, Dec. 3l-Cotton farm

proximately IS pounds more per
acre in 1899 than they did in 1888,
and 10 pounds more than for the
past ten-year average, J. G. Fergu1
son, Of State college, revealed to

The harvesting season was con

as one Of the best in years, Fer.
guson, who is cotton ginning
specialist for the Extension service,
said. Cotton opened early, and the
weather generally was good for
harvesting.
yet" the specialist pointed out,
the grade was not any higher than
usual. There were several reasons
for this. In Eastern Carolina, boil
Weevil damage was a big factor.
Then, too, cotton opened unusually
early and rapidly, resulting in a
large amount Of staining.
another cause" he continued,
Especially in the Piedmont, was
hurried ginning. Many ginners were
rushed ven more this past season
than in 1897, when North Carolina
produced its record cotton crop"
He explained that when ginners

to accommodate I'll Of their Gus

as $40 to $15 a bale.
He cited n example where cot
ton showed a grade reduction in
more than SIS percent of the gin.
nings during the rush season. This
was due entirely to fast feeding OF
tight roll ginning.
After reducing the rate of feed
and regulating the feed to the Cir
more carefully, the cotton which
was ginned in the last few weeks of
the season showed less than S per.
