Power Stump BOrer

"a POWER DEVICE of the same
kind that is used for digging post-holes
can be used for cutting down and re-
moving stumps, with the exception
that wood boring auger must be
used, say two-inch or larger auger
if there is the needed power to pull it.
In this way the center of the stump
can be cut out or even the greater part
of the stump cut down and, when dry,
burned out with used crankcase oil and
old tireS."-A. III.

Surplus Flyers

@. We have lot of fryers which
are big enough to sell but the local
market tells us that they have more
chickens than they know what to do
with. They tell me that with the cold
spring and early summer chickens
aren't moving because no one is
buying fried chicken for picnics.
What do you think / ought to do,
hold them a while longer?-Mrs.
FILA, Gallatin County.
A. You are up against it. You
should not hold fryers after they have
reached their full growth. Every day
you keep them it costs more to put
on pound of gain. The profit per
fryer is small enough at best. If
possible l would suggest that you
slaughter the birds, draw them, cut
them up and freeze them. Then when
the demand increases, you can put the
frozen birds on the market. You will
find that most of the butcher shops
are going in more and more for the
eviscerated, cut-up and frozen article.
But before you go to all this extra
work. 1 would certainly contact your
local butcher and see if he would be
willing to purchase such product.
You may have to work up local
retail trade. In that case you should
take orders for future delivery so that
you aren't going to get stuck with a
lot of frozen birds.

Poultry
Enroll for Egg Quality
Demonstration Contest
Poultry
By HI. e. CUSHMAN

EACH YEAR the egg quality demon
stration contest is offered to All Club
food members who have completed one
year of foods work and are enrolled
in a food club during the current year.
When there are eight counties enrolled
a trip is offered to the state winner
to the junior fact finding conference
of the Institute of the American Poultry
Industries. This conference is held
at Kansas City, Mo-, during February.
Each of the county extension agents
has been told of this contest again this
year, but so far we have not had very
many members taking an interest in
the affair. 1t would be a shame for
this trip to go begging.
The trip to Kansas City is not all
there is at stake. Any member en-
rolled has a chance to come to the
State All Club Congress if he makes
the blue ribbon class at the county
elimination contest And that's a pretty
fine experience in itself.
What is this Egg Quality Demon
stration? Well, it's consumer edu-
cation. There are still many in the
state who do not know how to buy or
keep top grade eggs. To many people
an egg is an egg and when they get
a bad egg they just stop eating eggs
for while. Too many people confuse
size and interior quality. Too many
people do not know what true quality
eggs taste like and why they are
really cheaper to buy in the long run.
1t is the job of the member to give
the demonstration before as many con-
sumner groups as possible. Thus the
demonstration is really community
service and stresses the fourth H of
the four HIS.
So if a member who has hitherto
been on the doubtful seat does work
up interest and curiosity she should
write to us at once or see her county
agent. have repeatedly said "she"
or cher" But there is nothing to pre-
vent a boy who is taking foods and is
eligible from enrolling. So hurry,
hurry and get on the band wagon.

Depression? Let's
Face 1t
e IT o r IAL)

Depression has ominous sound and we hear
1t everywhere The Democrats bling accused of call
ing Wolf Wolf and the Republicans saying there is
no "Wof"
we make no effort to refute either, but facts are
1acts, and neither politics pressure can contradict
the TACT that unemployment and dearth business con-
tlnues to rise. From The Carolina Times comes this
statement: Gust this week. report from the Durham
welfare Board to the County Commissioners the essence
OF winch was contained in signed story to the Durham
Sum- stated that the County has been "ahrd ht by IN
employment In the past few months and that the ranks
OF the unemployed were growing daily and that the
uation might become worse in futre months"
Further reading substantiates the story in other
sections OF the state In Southwest Virginia it is known
that certain factory has been dschargng workers at
the rate of hundred 00 per day for several weeks
There many congressman who feel that this trend
In economy is being duplicated on a national scale
The questions arise: Firstly, Is depression coming?
and Secondly, If so, how shall meet it? The years of
the late twentys (20s) and the early thrtys (3Os)
should have taught much, The to the first
question is ts debatabe but the to the second
lies in of what it is that we are likely to
meet, and in intelligent approach in meeting it.
Surely such gestures as foolish spending buying the
unessentia and unnecessary things and putting our
selves in debt for things which could easily do with
out could be avoided Practcing form of economy
on our household, by buying good foods but not
sarily the most expensive ones; by getting families
budget conscious and by almost making game of this
matter of saving, would be of making the pos
sibility of Depression" more remote Your dollars
spend easily but why not spend them to your adj
vantage?
AS previously stated cannot say that we are
bordering on a Depression, nor say when it
Will come, but wouldn't it give a comfortable feeling
to be prepared for it in case it should come?
