Largest still seized in landmark New York alcohol raid
Federal agents raided a Sut ton Place garage uncovering the largest still ever seized in America with 103000 gallon capacity and 80000 gallons of molasses mash. Two prisoners were taken as agents described the operation as a covert alcohol plant in East 54th Street. The site could produce 28500 gallons daily and cost about 750000 to assemble. In a separate note, 43 Republicans and three Democrats were summoned before a federal grand jury in Wilkesboro last week, with case postponed due to key witnesses’ absence.

Pullets Learn Range Rules For Egg Production
Poultry expert N W Williams from North Carolina State College advises placing pullets on a good range after sexing at ten to twelve weeks. Limit to 300 birds per acre, provide movable shelter with ventilation and shade, and avoid heavy protein rations to allow proper development.

Marine General Buried Alive in Landslide Tragedy
Rescue teams recovered General Robert H. Dunlap and farmer Denis Briant from the ruins of a barn near Chateau Cinq-Mars after a landslide buried them. Briant survived with a crushed leg after surgeons amputated it, while a woman rescued from a cave cried for aid. An air pocket provided milk to sustain her as rescuers worked. A rock wedged between walls likely saved the woman. Also noted, the North Carolina Forestry Association will meet with the American Forestry Association in Asheville on June 3 to 5.
