DADE HIGH WILDCATS
Coach Carl Roberts cf Dade
High re urned to school this
week after several weeks of
illness. His illness, along with
the fact that there is no gym
in the county, has spelled mis¬
fortune for the Wildca s. How¬
ever, in Coach Roberts’ ab¬
sence, Travis Montjoy, science
instructor, to:k over and has
practiced both the boys and
girls teams a: every opportu¬
nity.
Just what kind of a team
Coach Roberts can put on the
hardwood this year is still a
question mark. The first test is
the game with Chattanooga
Valley, Flinstone, this Tuesday
night. Captain of the team is
Merrill Smy h, a guard. Ed Me
Clendon, guard, and C. M.
Smith, center, are the cnly se-
niors on the team. Forwards
Tom Mitchum, sophomore,
Norris Sims, junior. Three
who will be coun ed
upon for service are Wayne
Harris, a freshman, Lawrence
Woodyard and Ray Bobo
juniors.
Pr spects for the girls’ team
are good and will be in next
week’s paper.

DAVIS HIGH
YELLOW JACKETS
Davis High School may have
a lack of high school students
this year but it certainly lacks
very little in the way of basket¬
ball players. Coach John
Thornhill has four boys who
%and abou: six feet' two. His
Yellow Jackets have won three
games and lost two, rolling up
240 points for a nearly 50 point
average per game.
High scorer on the Sand
Mountain five early this week
was Nathan Echols with 56
points. He hit his stride against
Fyffe with 25 points and Ge¬
raldine High with 17 points.
Cl se at his heels is Joe Cham¬
bliss with 55 poin s, getting 16
of them againstCollinsville last
week. Other scorers are: Ray
Gray, a freshman, 37; Roy
Gray, a freshman, 35; Vernon
Dunn, a junior, 29; and Bill
Jones, a sophomore, 28. Stand¬
out defensive players include
Jimmy Stallings and Wayne
Eallard.
The Yellow Jackets play their
home games at Rosalie, Alaba¬
ma, as they have no gym of
their own. Thus far in the sea-
sin they have defeated Pisgah,
Collinsville, and Fyffe and
have dropped games to Pisgah
and Geraldine. All these teams
are from Alabama. Coach
Thornhill expresses a desire to
play Dade High in Chattanoo¬
ga sometime this season. That
game could draw a lot of local
interest, being billed as the
game to decide the champion¬
ship of Dade.

tions and a good market in
Chattanooga. Commercial egg
production, broiler production,
and hatching egg production
are the phases suitable for 'this
county. He recommended that
500 hens be a minimum for
anyone going into commercial*
egg production.
Fred Henderson, insurance
man from LaFayette and a
leading Walker County broiler
grower, told how he got into
the broiler business. The broil¬
er business, he contended, is
not a sideline. It is a full-time
job. “If you’ll put chickens
In,” he declared, “and do what
they (the feed companies) tell
you, you’ll make a reasonable
margin of profit... but if you
didn’t make a cent on broilers,
the chicken liter would be
more than worth the effort as
fertilizer for the rest of your
farm.”
Poultry is Science
A representative of the Amaco
Feed Co., Chattanooga, K. H.
Pfifer, told the group that
you are in one of the most
scientific industries ln the
world,’’ having to have a
knowledge of chemistry, breed¬
ing and other lines of science.
“Don’t go into the business
blank.” “It is necessary to map
your course before going for
finances.” He recommended
putting flocks of hens on la-
dino and alfalfa for a year,
leaving the pasture better than
before they went on it.
Disease control, Pfifer de¬
clared, might mean complete
failure or succes. The manage¬
ment factor is highly impor¬
tant also, he said. He reminded
that chickens are creatures of
habit and warned producers
not to go off their schedules.
Your operation should be timed
to hit the highest price mar¬
ket.
