she knows her business. . Tier first
topic was “Good Breeding Stock’’
and she impre i sed upon prcg.Mi;
the necessity of-starting right if one
is to succeed in the poultry business.
Demonstrations were then given as to
culling, both laying hens and culls
being used in this demonstration.
Those present were hown the art of
culling in order that they might weed
out the boarders in their flocks and
retain only the producers.
Another matter of interet was the
selection of the eggs for the incuba
tor or mother hen. The care and
feeding of the baby chicks was gone
into fully and much valuable, infor
mation gained on this pomfc AlisS
Neeley had placed upon the walls of

Never was an altitude of a half mile

but the tonic atmosphere.-*'Set In a

mountains whose 20 highest peaks top
all altitudes In the Eastern states.
It was on the Blltmore estate, near
Asheville, that, with the founding of
a forestry school, the first step# in
American forest conservation were
taken. Today there are established
in this region, for the protection of
wateesfieds and hardwood reserves, the
ChgKokee, Nantahala, Unska and Pls-
national forests With a boundary

a fourth of this area. In the Plsgah,
established In 1916 as a game pre-

and elk have been eroplantsd.

their forests of protruding spikes be

Uke expanse. At one point there are
14 wrecks within 100 yards.
Off the great apex of the Banks are
those dreaded quicksands, the Dia

be dreaded because off- Hatteras, due
to the enormous tonnage of steel hulls ,
embedded In the Diamond, there Is a
magnetic deviation sometimes amount

The farther northward one follows
the Banks, the more remote and re

taken root on this two-mile width of
sand bar, 40 miles off shore.
