Questions
Answered at State College
Question: How can I increase
egg production in my poultry
flock?
Answer: Many poultrymen are
getting higher production by feed
ing only a small amount of grain
In the morning and the remainder
at night. The morning grain Is
fed in a clean litter from four to
six inches deep and consists of
about one pound of grain for each
100 hens. The afternoon feeding
Is put In troughs. The practice of
feeding grain at different Inter
vals of the day, especially* during,
the winter months, increases the
activity of the birds, overcomes
idleness, and Indirectly Increases
feed consumption. The combina
tion of these tends to give an
increase In egg production.
Question: Where can I secure
ans for building a modern dairy
Answer: Plans for building
dairy barns that have been ap
proved by the dairy specialists at
State College are mailed free up
on request to the Agricultural
Editor at State College. However
we suggest that you get in touch
with your county farm agent who
will be glad to recommend the
proper plan and give other In
formation In regard to the build
ing. In requesting plans always
specify the number of animals to
be housed and whether a feed
loft is desired. Plans for other
farm buildings may also be had
from the same address.

Question: When should seed
peanuts be selected for planting
next year?
Answer: Planting seed should
be handpicked both before and
after shelling. Remove all badly
mildewed pods and damaged
kernels and store the seed peanuts
in a dry place. Poor stands are
often due to planting seed of low
vitality and if there is any ques
tion as to the quality of the select
ed, seed it is advisable to have
them tested for germination.
Where the' peanuts are still in
the field it might also be well to
cover the stacks with canvass hay
caps to prevent weather damage.
NEW COTTON PROGRAM
TO BE M.ORK FLEXIBLE
The new 1936-39 cotton pro
gram, to be administered through
cotton adjustment associations in
each county, will be more flexible
than the old program, according
to Dean I. O. Schaub, of State
College.
The Associations, composed of
growers, will be in a position to
adapt the program to local condi
tions and the requirements of in
dividual growers, he said.
The associations will be or
ganized in the next few weeks.
All contracting cotton growers
will be eligible for membership.
Under the new contracts, grow
ers may adjust their 1936 crops
by an amount equal to 30 to 45
per cent of their base acreage,
and receive adjustment payments
accordingly.
The rate of the payments will
be five cents a pound on the
average production of the land
retired from cotton cultivation.
The entire amount of the pay
ment each year will be made at
one time.
Payments to landlords and ten
v ants will be divided thus: 37 Vi
per cent to the person furnishing
the land, 12% per cent to the
person furnishing workstock and
equipment, and the remaining 50
per cent distributed in the same
proportion that the cotton or it3
proceeds is divided.
A grower may terminate his
contract at the end of any con
tract year during the 1936-39
period.
Landlords signing contracts
will be required to keep on their
farms the same number of ten
ants they had in 1935.
Acreage withdrawn from cot
ton cultivation may be used for
soil-improvement or erosion-prev
enting crops, pasture, fallow, for
est trees, food and feed crops for
home consumption, or any other
purpose the Secretary of Agricul
ture may prescribe.
The new four-year contracts
will be offered the growers short
ly, Dean Schaub said.
CREDIT ASSOCIATIONS
SAVE FARMERS' MONEY
Production credit association
loans, bearing alow rate of in
terest. have enabled many North
Carolina farmers to save money
during the past year.
The interest on these loans is
five per cent a year, said Dean
I. O. Schaub, of State College,
who pointed out that buying on
long-term credit often adds from
10 to 40 per cent of the coat of
the goods.
The production credit associa
tions were established to prortde
loans at low cost to farmers who
run short of cash and would oth
erwise hare to finance their farm
ing operations at high interest
rates. The associations are farm
er-owned and eontrolled.
Another advantage of borrow
ing through the associations Is
