throughout Ashe county. The
task ahead now is to see that the
present laying stock, as we'll as the
chicks that will be next years
layers, are Clearly and comforta-
bly, housed and adequately fed.
Greater efficiency in egg produc-
ton will mean more eggs, saw
ing in labor and feed, and bet
ter income.
The individual management of
the poultry flock is an important
factor in the success of the enter
prise. Over-crowding of both
laying flocks and growing stock
is one of the most frequently vio-
lated management practices. In
the long run, there is a definite
limit to the number of birds and
eggs that can be produced in a
house of given size. Four square
feet of floor space should be pro-
vided for heavy breeds and three
and one-half square feet for light
breeds. Baby chicks and grow
ing stock require considerably
less space but approximately fiji
ty square feet of floor space
should be provided for each 100
chicks. In other words, a 10x12
brooder house will safely accom-
odate about $50 chicks through
the entire growing period if cock
erels are sold at broiler age.
A rigid culling out of low-pro-
ducing and non-thrifty laying
hens should be practiced con-
stantly. This practice of contin-
uous culling is an important fac
tor in the efficiency of the laying
flock from both a housing and
feeding standpoint.
Recent research work has prov
ed that the most efficient egg
production and the most econom-
ical growth comes when chickens

gainst the Christian Faith and
become an, agressor, would not

Has God ever commanded a ma

BILE: "Be strong and of good cOur-
age; be not afraid, neither be

was confusion of thoughts among
our colleges which have been

was confusion among the minis

WOMAN of the Week: Mary
Anderson has a right to be pleased
by the report that there are now
about 10000 women employed in
the aircraft industry and some
10000 more in munitions plants.
AS director of the Women's bu-
reau of the U. S. department of
labor she began a year or so ago,
through training surveys, to Gre
ate importuna woman power"
resources for war production. Now
over 100000 women throughout
the nation are making practically
everything from sleeping bags to
machine guns. And it seems likely
that before long 100000 women
will be employed in the aircraft
industry alone.
SIGNS OF THE TIMES: A for
mer nail polish factory is now
making bomber fittings . Act
ress Helen Hayes revealed another
talent when she reported for war
work as a volunteer switchboard
operator Adeline Gray offered
to make a Jump to test a para
chute made of nylon.
SH-H! CAMPAIGN: So we'll
were the plans to raid Japan
guarded that Mrs. James H. Doc
little knew nothing of her hus-
bands flight to Tokyo until she
accompanied him to Washington,
where he received the Congress-
ional Medal And the other
day she urged delegates from 80
national wo mems organizations to
campaign against loose talk, idle
rumors and what she called "a
whale of a lot of chatter"
SUNNY SIDE UP: That job you
have to drag yourself to on a
Monday morning could be a whole
lot worse . Emil Davies, chair
man of the London county coun-
ell, told a group of American
lawyers that the average London
stenographer considers herself
lucky if, after an air raid, she
can still get running water.
GIRL GUIDES: One of Eng
lands greatest woman power
resources has been the Girl
Guides. Realizing the value OF
the training teen age girls have
received as members of such
groups, those responsible for di-
recting the employment of women
in national service have developed
a plan to extend that training to
all girls Is to 18 years of age. 1t
is the Girls Training corps. AT
the end of the preliminary train
ing period the girls will be bet
ter equipped to join such women's
services as the ATS and the

Victory Farm
BY ROY H. GROUSE, Agent
J. HARVEY PAYNE, Asst ACT,

Several new silos are being
constructed now in the county in
preparation for more and better
winter feed. The County Agents
Office, Farm Security Admins
tration, Soil Conservation Service,
and the milk company represen-
tatives are all ready to give in
dividual farmers assistance in
Ashe County with their silo plans.
An inexpensive trench silo can be
constructed to fit the convenience
and needs of most every farmer
who feeds as many as four or
more head of beef cattle or dairy
cattle. Due to the war emergency,
certain building material are very
difficult to secure and in some
instances they are not available.
Because of this condition, we are
encouraging farmers to construct
these low cost silos that can be
constructed largely from materials
found on the average farm.
Silage for many years has been
recognized as one of the best and
most economical roughages for
cattle. It is economical because a
large quantity can be grown on
a small acreage with compare
lively small amount of labor and
only a SMALL loss is sustained
during the harvesting and feeding
