One improvement calls tor another,
and if we do not ask, the chances are
that we will not receive. The High
way Commission has a splendid pro-
gram laid out for 1928, and its treas-
ury is in good shape, if we are to be-
lieve press reports. The gasoline tax
will bring in a goodly sum, and the
consumption of gasoline will increase
with the construction of more roads
and the opening up of new territory.—

Every resource of the Johns Hop-
kins University and the Johns Hop-
kins Hospital of Baltimore, Maryland,
is to be thrown into a battle against
the “common cold,” according to re-
cent news reports. The Chemical
Foundation df New York has given
$195,000 to finance the work, and will
give additional funds if needed. It is
to be known as the “John J. Able
Fund for Research on the Common
Cold.” Dr. Able is professor of phar-
macology at Johns Hopkins, and .has
been conducting the researches that
led to the discovery and synthetic pro-
duction of adrenalin, and was the first
to isolate the pure, chemical principle
of insulin.
It is claimed that the common cold
causes greater loss to industry and
business, than aqy other stogie dis-
ease. The war against it will last
five years, with the cream of the med-
ical talent of the United States to the
fight. : *

“Founders’ Day,”’ honoring Mrs.

fectively observed by Sinton P. T. A.
Thursday afternoon, February 16,
with a pageant, “The Gift Bearers,”
and a Silver Tea. The pageant was
given by forty-six high school girls,
under the direction of Miss Leah

vice president of the P. T. A. Caps
and sashes of blue, pink, .red, orange,
and gray, made colorful the light

the work each group represented, as
the girls took turns in lighting the 31
candles which signified the 31st birth-
day of the National Congress of
Mothers and Parent-Teacher Associa-
tions. As the pageant proceeded. Miss
Thelma Vance, pianist, softly played
appropriate music, suitable for the
event. The very impressive pageant
came to a close with the ensemble
singing of “Mother, Father, Teacher
Mine,” Miss Vance accompanying.
Preceding the pageant, the school
orchestra, rendered a number of very
pretty selections, under the direction
of Mr. George W. Beever, and Miss
Pauline Gregory read “Her First Call
on the Butcher,” to clever and enter-
taining fashion. Mrs. W. T. Dismukes
sang very sweetly, a solo entitled,
“Carmena.”
On invitation of Mrs. J. C. Houts,
P. T. A. president, who was in charge,
pf the program, P. T. A.-members and
visitors repaired, after the program,
to the school cafeteria where a large
and beautiful birthday cake was placed
underneath a canopy of azure blue
and coral .pink—P. T. A. colors—and
tea and cake were served, to the large
crowd attending. The qake, which was
a thing of beauty, was donated for the
occasion by j. W. Draughon, baker of
the city, and baked by J. S. Pane. It
was not only good to look at, but, more
to the point, it was really good to eat.
The offering bowl occupied a conspic
oils place fand held the silver pieces
donated which were afterward sent
as a birthday offering to the National
Congress of Mothers.
• Ladies serving the tea and cake and
otherwise responsible for that part of
the afternoon’s success were Mrs. A-
L. McWhorter, Mrs. James Kirkpat-
rick, Mrs. S. J. Vickers, Mrs. W. A,
Baird, Mrs. Jim Montgomery, Mrs. G. L
Holbrook, Mrs. G. E. Afcherd. Mrs. O.
E. Smith, Mrs. J. G. Cook, Mrs. John
Rogers. Ladies decorating effectively
for the occasion were Mrs, Roy Jack-
son and Mrs. C. I. Albertson.
The. entire program' was enjoyable
and was a credit to ail those working
toward its success.

-Those econpmists and farmers who
say that eggs can be produced in
North Carolina for as low as 13 to 15
cents a dozen, don’t know what they
are talking about, according to Dr. B. ~ . T T . XTr. „„„ TTG,

ment of the North Carolina State
college.
Doctor Kaupp states that it will
cost nearly 25 cents a dozen if all
'feed costs and overhead costs are
added to the totals. He bases his
statement on some experiments that
lie has been conducting with a flock
of 750 White Leghorn hens at one of
the branch station farms of the North
Carolina experiment station.
“Some of the data that I have seen
says that it costs the southern farmer
only about 13 to 15 cents a doien to
produce eggs,” says Doctor Kaupp.
“We know that when hens. have, been
bred for high egg production, the cost
per dozen eggs is lower, and for that
reason it will certainly cost the aver-
age farmer more to produce eggs than
it will the commercial poultry farmer
where the hens are bred for highest
production. This commercial man al-
so gives closer attention to his man-
agement and feeding than will the av-
erage farmer. We have many farmers
who are making money with poultry
but th^y are not considering their eggs
to cost only 15 cents a dozen to pro-
duce.”
Doctor Kaupp used' the tegular
North Carolina ration to feeding his
test flock of 750 hens. He kept a
careful and accurate record of each
cent spent for feed, the cost of litter,
grit, depreciation of the flock, inter-
est on the investment, the labor, taxes
and other charges. Then there were
some miscellaneous charges such as
for medicines, egg cases, leg bands
and the like. He credited the hens
for all eggs, for all manure, and for
the poultry sold. Each hen returned
a net profit above all costs of $2.40
for the year and the eggs were pro-
duced'at a cost just a fraction under
25 cents. He found, too. that it took
six pounds of feed. to produce each
dozen'eggs,

The early-batched pullets that start
to lay in October or November are
the ones to keep .for profitable egg
production. The fall and winter
months are the season of high-egg
prices and birds that do not come into
production until the season has passed'
Will not pay as well as they ought to.
It Is the early-hatcher and well-ma-
tured pullet, with plenty of body
weight to give her endurance, that will
produce the eggs during this high-
priced period.
The early-hatched pullets should be
distinguished from the early-matur-
ing pullets. One was hatched early,
grew normally, obtaining normal body
v/eight and coming Into production at
a time when her system was ready for
sustained production. The rapidly
maturing bird probably was hatched
later, but made such rapid sexual de-
velopment fha’t she is ready to start
laying before her body is equipped for
sustained production.
Such birds, in direct contrast with
the former, are light in weight, are
very often poor feeders, and will very
likely go into a partial or complete
molt before they have produced very
many' eggs.

Late Molting Hens Take
Short Time to Idle
Some hdns take fully four times as
long a vacation as others to regrow
their feathers and prepare tor another
season of egg-laying, a recent study
at the Missouri agricultural experi-
ment station showed that hens ceas-
ing to lay In July took 182 days’ vaca-
tion and laid 109 eggs during the year.
Those quitting In August took 151
days- off to grow new feathers, laying
134 eggs. September quitters lost 143
days apd laid 137 eggs, October molt-
ers were idle 94 days and laid 153
eggs. Birds laying up to November
lost 69 days for molting and laid 171
eggs, white December melters* lost
only 45 days and laid 174' eggs dur-
ing the year. .
