Increase Your Chicken Flocks
Larger poultry flocks prodr,

Larger poultry flocks produce
more economically than small
ones. A flock of 300 or more lay
ing hens is profitable part of a
balanced farm and home program
on any size farm.
Larger flocks. properly housed,
can be cared for in little more
time than you need to take care
of 800 hens.
A larger flock furnishes year
round employment for Junior
members of your family and also
provides steady year round in
come for you.
Mississippi's major egg produc-
ton problem is the small size of
the average flock. Most flocks are
of poor breeding. have poor hous-
ing and receive poor management.
AS result of these things the
small flocks do not produce the
year round. They don't produce
during the winter when eggs are
scarce. They flood the market in
the spring. however. with inferior
eggs. This lowers prices and dis
courages poultry producers.

Limited Memberships
Drive To Begin In
Month Of Moy

An annual concert series pre-
senting the worlds distinguished
artists in Lexington appears now
to be possible. The Lexington
Municipal Concert association has
been organized for the purpose of
bringing renowned concert attrac-
tons to the community, thus
broadening the city's entertain
ment, cultural, and social life.
The municipal concert associa-
ton is non-profit and cooperative.

to everyone, adults and children
alike. A membership campaign
week will soon be announced.
During that week the entire
citizenship of the county will be
invited to join the association

member will be entitled to at
tend all the concert presentations
without further admission charge.

standing and top-flight concert
attractions locally. At least three
concerts will be presented during
the season, and as many more as

cert association is one hundred
per cent cooperative, the more

larger the budget, and therefore
the greater number of concerts
possible. No additional assess
ments will be made on the mem
bers. Funds accumulated from
membership dues, will be used
solely in the presentation of ar
fists selected by the local As
sociation's talent committee. The
programs presented will be desie-
mated to please the varied music
al tastes of the local audiences.
The number of memberships in
the Association will of necessity
be limited to the seating capacity
of the Grammar School auditor
ium, and memberships will be sold
only during the one campaign
week. At the conclusion of the de-
signated week, the membership
rolls of the Association will be
closed for the season. Everyone

nouncement of the campaign
! week, and all are advised to Sc
cure their memberships at that
time without delay.
