laying Flock Prospects
Good For Next Fall

Prospects for profits from well
managed laying flockS appear
very good for next fall, according
to C. P. Libeau, State College eX-
tension marketing specialist
Long-run competition in laying
flockS point toward lower income
per bird but also lower costs per
hen and flock of 1000 hens or
more over the next 10 years.
Price outlook for future months
may be used in making farm
plans for higher incomes and pro-
fits. The present strength in
egg prices in related to the eX-
pectation of a small supply of
eggs next fall, he adds.
Libeau points to the fact that
in the past five months, fewer
pullets have been started than
last year at the same period.
Greatest reduction in potential
layers for next fall has been in
the surplus egg producing states
of the midwest that send many
eggs to North Carolina.
Farmers received an average of
23.7 cents per pound live weight
for chickens (farm chickens and
commercial broilers) in midFeb-
ruary, compared with 22.4 year
earlier. Farm chickens averaged
1873 cents and commercial broil-
ers 252 cents, compared with
PIT and 22.6, respectively in
mid-February last year. Farm
turkey prices on February Is
averaged 27.1 cents a pound live
weight, compared with 1872 cents
a year earlier.
Since the February egg-feed,
farm chicken-feed, and turkey
feed ratios we're less favorable
than a year ago, some producers
will drop out. Farmers that go
into production when others are
getting out very often find them
selves with higher profits.

Trees Make Money
From Poor Lond

Trees can make money on land
that wouldn't produce any other
money crop" The Lincoln coun-
ty ASC Office stresses the fact
that trees can make money on
land which now produces little OF
nothing. Land that isn't good
enough to grow crops and will not
grow enough grass to deserve the
name of pasture, can grow enough
wood each year TO bring consider
able income to the owner of the
land.
The experience of one farmer is
an indication of what such land
will produce. This farmer divided
his l50-acre undeveloped WOodlot
into five 30-acre units. He har-
vests the wood on one of these
units each year when there is lit
tie other work. His pulpwood trim
mings from old stands for the
first five years on each of the
units have brought him nearly O.
900 dollars. From their present
appearances, each unit will bring
even more at the end Of the sec
ond five-year term.
Not only will these Woodlot
paintings pay i'll money, but they
will help in the conservation Of
soil and water. On steep or shall
low land, they will help slow doWr

Answers Timely
Farm Questions

QUESTION: What causes ran
cid milg?
ANSWER: Rancid milk is usual
ly associated with cows that have
been in milk for a long time. It
may come from a COW that is too
thin or it may be a herd problem
caused by feeding very poor quail
ty rou9hage without any green
feed in the diet. Recent studies in
Western state also indicate that
rancidity may sometimes be trac-
ed to faulty pipeline mixers.
QUESTION: In raising earth
worms, how many worms should I
put in a regulatiOn-SiZed box?
ANSWER: The number of
worms should be limited to 500 to
600 per box. The worms tend to
limit their population to CORE
spond to the available food.
QUESTION: What is the most
important factor in determining
the nicotine content in tobacco?
ANSWER: Moisture supply. The
more moisture during the grow

Cancers shifting pattern in the
last decade has produced para
doX of increase in both the num-
ber who get cancer and the num-
ber Of those cured of it, the Amer
lean Cancer Society observed in
marking the tenth anniversary of
its reorganization.
The ACS in l945 succeeded the
American Society for the Control
of Cancer. founded in 1913. Fol-
lowing World War II, an all-out
attack on cancer through research.
education and service to patients
was launched.
Now, taking a long look at the
past ten years. the ACS finds that
more people are dying Of cancer
today but that thousands are be-
ing cured who would have died of
the disease in l945.
Does this mean that more people
are getting cancer than did ten
years ago? ACS StatiSticianS say
yes. Cancer now strikes one in
four. instead of one in five. The
main point here is that the popu-
lation is older now: more people
are in the age bracket where cam
Ger takes its heaviest toll. The
American life expectancy increas-
ed from about 63 years to nearly
SO years between 1941 and 1851
the latest ten year period fol
which figures are available.
ABOUT 100000 CASES NOW
During the last ten years cancer
has been increasing. both in num-
ber of persons who got the disease
and in the number who died. AS
nearly as can be determined there
were about $4,000 persons under
treatment for cancer in 1945. This
year the estimate is 100000.
Americans were dying of cancer
ten years ago at the rate of 127
per 100000 population. In 1945
81 ,638 women died of cancer and
there were 1926 male cancer
deaths. This year the rate is lac
per 100000 and ,ne male deaths
outnumber the women by a consid-
erable margin. Estimates for 1885
say that about $4,000 men and
$4,000 women will die of cancer
ONE-FOURTH SAVED
About one-fourth of those who
get cancer today are being saved
In 1855 this would mean about
$4,000 lives saved. Various studies
indicate that more people are be-
ing saved from cancer today.

Mrs. Sipe's Mother
Dies After Illness

Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. l.. Sipe of this

Sipe's mother, Mrs. Thomas Rec

Mrs. Martin died Monday in
the Mary Black Hospital in
Spartanburg, S. c. following a
heart attack. She was 79 years
old, and had been in failing
health for some time. For the
past two weeks she had been ser
iously i'll.
In addition to Mrs. Sipe two
other daughters survive. Mrs.
James w. Cash, of Cowpens and
Mrs. H. H. Hoster. of Spartan
burg. She leaves also four grand
children.
Mrs. Martin was member of a
prominent and we'll known South
Carolina family. Until a year ago
when her health began to fail
she took an active part in the re-
ligious, patriotic and social life
of her community. She was va
lued member of the Daughters
Of the American Revolution and
the United Daughters of the Con-
federacy chapter. She was also a
devoted mother and grandmother
and a loyal and devoted friend.
Following the funeral service
at Cowpens the body was taken to
