H'NU Picture 175,000 to 200,000 turkeys strutting around a town of less than 400 people. Thats what happens at Timberville, Va., in Rockingham county, one of the outstanding turkey and broiler producing areas of the state. Last year we counted that many4 marketable turkeys within a five-miradius of TimberviUe, says Sam Cox, district county agent This enterprise has been developed largely to supplement the raising of broilers which was started with a workable contract plan of local and nearby hatcheries and feed companies during the depression. Through this plan, baby chicks, young turkeys and poultry feed are provided on a basis. The plan put chickens and turkeys through the valleys and up the mountains, enabling many farm families, once on relief, to clear $1,000 a year. The turkey and broiler enterprises are helped materially by Mutual Cold Storage and the Rockingham both loPoultry Marketing Co-oowned and locally operated orcally ganizations. The poultry marketing group processes as much as $6,000 worth of produce per year. In a heavy run, 6,000 turkeys or 4,000 broilers are picked, cleaned, cut up and frozen in a day. The plant employs more than 200 local workers with a payroll of $250,000 a year. Timberville also has a canning factory that handles 60,000 bushels of peaches and 300,000 bushels of apples during a good fruit year, likewise, it would be unfair to ignore Timbervilles 100 to 500 carloads of fresh peaches annually, which go out by rail Freight revenues on outgoing produce was more than $30,000 during a single busy month in 1944, which did not include loads of fruit that went out by truck. TaU tales about Timberville! Nevertheless true. And these things "didnt just happen," Mr. Cox concludes. Take that poultry processing plant it was built on faith. There was only $50 on hand when operations started in 1940. Farmers saw their folly of flooding the markets and letting things pile up as surpluses. They realized that processing could be done where the produce is grown. This avoids bottlenecks, makes sure that hungry people will be fed, helps the le p, farmer make a decent living and in this instance enables them to talk turkey on the farm and away from home. North Dakota Man Traps 200 Snakes From Single Den CHAMBERLAIN. S. D. Although Bryan Menzie of the soil conservation office Is not particularly fond of rattlesnakes, he carries pictures of them around with him. Also, he likes to teU of how he captured more than 200 of them in one den on the Bill Stanton ranch, seven miles north of Chamberlain. Jackly, who is a rattlesnake authority, designed two traps which were built by Bruce Campbell and Merle Thompson. The snake traps were set and the catch in them totaled more than 100 rattlers in recent weeks. Last fall over 125 rattlers were taken from the same den.

California now boasts of the largest plow in the world, a Paul Bunyan model if there ever was one. It plows a furrow three feet wide and six feet deep and requires four heavy duty tractors to puU it. It turns over of an acre every hour. The reason for such a plow is that much good land in the San Luis Rey valley was covered by sand during a flood in 1916. The gigantic plow was built to dig deep into the ground and turn up the good soil and bury the sand. The fertility of the land is thus restored and ready for farming. The cost of bringing the rich soil to the surface is from $50 to $100 an acre. NOT A WINDOW . . .

This startling fact is one of the motivating forces behind the educational program of the American Cancer society. This needless loss of life can be halted if only the message of hope and alertness is carried to every corner of our country. Cancer, in many instances. Is curable. The use of surgery, and radium have proven highly successful in removing many forms of cancerous growths. Skin cancer, one of the most numerous types, is 95 per cent curable when treated in its early stages. Cancer of the breast and of the lip are likewise highly curable if given early treatNEW YORK.
