Sun is Ally
But there is no worrying among
the farmers just now. The sun
gave them an opportunity to get
to work several days ago and is
continuing as an active ally in the
preparation OF the land for the
1916 crop.
Farmers just had to quit worry

They will remain happy unless the

Everything Fine
From the County Agents office

that everything is fine now. Crop

red at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
W. T. Rawls, of lower Bladen coun
ty.
A bunch of White Leghorn chicks
were raised in a brooder house
with an old fashioned brick fur
mace with stove pipe flue. After
the chicks were up some size they
were removed to their laying quar-.
tiers and within a short time began
to turn out snow white chalky
eggs.
Brooder Closed
In the meantime the brooder
house was cleaned out and the
door closed and windows securely
fastened ready for another bunch
of baby chicks later.
In taking the rounds outside each
day Mrs. Rawls would hear a
smothered cackle. This became
very noticeable and all members
of the family became interested
in the sound until one day Mrs.
Rawls opened the old brooder
house door.
Hungry Chicken
There she found nest Of snow
white eggs, also a very weak and
hungry pullet. The pullet was let
out of the house and door securely
fastened again.
But the next day the same old
cackle from the same direction.
Again the little white Leghorn pull
let was given means of escape
through the door and it again
securely fastened.
Mystery
This unusual laying contest con.
tinued for some time and it be.
came deep mystery to the Rawls
family and neighbors how little
White could get down in furnace
to lay and could not find her way
out until Mrs. Rawls took it upon
herself to watch.
About noon time the little pullet
flew up on top of the brooder house,
perched for moment upon the
top of the small flue and then went
out of sight down the chute. Short
ly the familiar cackle was heard
within.

Favorable Week Aids Crop
Advance Ahead OF Usual
Schedule

SOUTHPORT, March 14-This
weeks fine weather has brought
a satisfied feeling to Brunswick
county farmers. With the satisfied
feeling is lot of aching muscles.
The weather is permitting the long
est and most concentrated effort
Of the year for the 1916 farm crop.
Possessing, as many Of them do,
modern farm machinery, it is
amazing how much preparation OF
land can be done in we ks time.
A trip over the county Today re-
veals plowed lands everywhere,
and very little was r be seen only
week ago.
. Tn fact. so little work was &C
complished until recently, last
week led to encounters with sew
eral farmers who compared condl'
tons this year with the same thing
two years ago.
Two years ago the county had
about the wettest winter and spring
months in known history. No ploW-
ing at all could be done until late
March. Tobacco plants were READY
to be set out before the ground
was ready for them. To make mat
tiers worse, the labor situation was
critical on the farms and gloomlng
feelings prevailed on all sides.
When the rains finally quit they
stayed quit. Everybody, including
women and girls, got to work drlv'
ing tractors and at the great as
sortment of tasks to be found on
a farm. In a short time, despite
the late start and labor shortage
everything was going fine. Inc
year brought the greatest crop
ever produced in the county, de-
spite it having started out under
the most gloomy conditions.
Field Work Early
This year the farmers are not SC
late with their field work as they
were two years ago. The labor
situation has also greatly improved
and they are able to get much addi'
tional machinery.
Despite this better outlook, a
few days ago found a considerable
number worrying, or ready te
worry. Ability to worry seems te
|be essential in crop production
Practically all farmers can worry
and they never fail to do so al
some period Of the crop year. BY
mixing worry with work and doing
plenty of the work, everything us
usally turns out alright and they
find themselves with good crops in
the fall.

Pandora by score of SO to Ia last

An indication of what was in
