> Season Now Here For Culling Flocks Expert Suggests Inventory; Careful Consideration is Vital By ROY 8. DEARSTYNE \ (Head of th? Poultry Department at N. C. State College) The present spring prices for eggs and the con tinued relatively high cost of poul try feeds has pre sented a culling problem to the poultryman which requires more care f u I consideration of factors involved than in past years. Egg prices held up to a much high er level than in past years in this section and it is very probable that some poultrymen are going to slight the culling which should be done to FEEDING THE CHICKS? With th* approach of spring this will bs a familiar scono throughout tho South. ing year, l he fol lowing molt or rest period is not usu ally very rapid and unless the birds were exceptionally early hatched, a break in produc- . tion is an indica tion that the bird has not been an ex ceptionally heavy producer. On going out of production a bird -usually shows a loss of color in the comb which quick ly becomes dry and shriveled. The vent loses its loose, mpist appearante and the pelvic maintain the flock production at its high est percent for the season of the year. While peak production has been se cured in most instances during the months of March and April, a certain percent of the birds in all flocks of heavy layers will soon begin to break in production, land where this break starts, the individual decline in producton usu ally is very rapid. Consequently, identi fication and marking of such birds should be done at the earliest possible time. What to Cull Birds breaking in production during May and June are not usually good prospects to carry over for the next lay THE GRAND NEW "PENN STATE" TOMATO Haa Made Gaod Every Claim far It!

Such birds are usually easy to identify and should be caught up ami carefully examined prior to culling. Broody birds at this season of the year are likewise poor prospects from a commercial standpoint. Usually one spell of broodiness is followed by an other, which fact from an egg producing standpoint, makes broody birds uneco nomical. Watch Body W?ifht During heavy production there is a heavy demand on the body reserve of laying birds. The careful poultryman compensates for this by carefully adjust ing his feeding of scratch grain to meet the situation. If this is not done, there arises the probability of a flock collapse from the standpoint of egg production, with the possibility of a high mortality among the layers. The poultryman should make a careful check on body weight at all times, but especially at this season of the year. In view of the fact that the breeding season is over, there is no place in the laying flock for males. By removing these, infertile eggs may be produced and these have a much higher keeping qual ity than fertile eggs, thus being of greater value from -a marketing stand point. Where mass mating has been practiced and no trapnesting done, it is difficult to evaluate the breeding worth of a male. Consequently, culling of males under such conditions is a matter of type and handling qualities. The devitalized male seldom can be carried through the sum mer and prove a profitable breeder dur ing the next breeding season. Such birds should be culled. Take Inventory Now Looking toward the future, the poul tryman should at this time take inven tory of his breeding program for next year. If new blood has been introduced two years -ago and the performance of the last year pullets has been satisfactory it is possible that next year's breeding may be safely carried out with the cock erels o{ this year's hatch. However, the introduction of new blood would prove a safer method. If new blood is to be introduced, the cockerels, of this year's hatch should be sold at broiler size as a greater return should be realized than if these birds were carried to a later date. Careful investigation should be made as to the breeding and performance of the flock from which new blood is introduced. It is probable an economy would be effected if breeding cockerels were pur chased at two pounds weight and devel oped on the premises. In this case about three times the number of males needed should be purchased. This will allow for culling and for mortality. CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT | n&??bX baby chicks Thousand* weekly all rear.
