Survey Aided
Farm Program
Such Data Is Essential To
Preparation Of Sound
Use Of Farm Land; Maps
Made Showing Local Adaptation
Data gathered in soil surveys
of North Carolina is being used
as a basis for the land-planning
program and the AAA crop adjustment
programs in this state.
Such data is essential to the
preparation of sound land use
programs and in making recommendations
regarding crop and
livestock production, said C. B.
Williams, head of the agronomy
department of the N. C. Agricultural
Experiment Station.
With the information gathered,
the agronomy department has
made maps showing the various
soil types in the state, their location,
characteristics, and adaptation
to different crops.
The department has also shown
what varieties of the different
crops are best suited to different
soils and what fertilizers should
be applied to give the best results.
"By enabling the farmers to
determine which crops are best
adapted to their land," Professor
Williams pointed out, "we
are trying to help them secure
the most profitable returns from
their farming operations."
The work of surveying the
state has been under way since
1902, with the experiment station,
the State Department of Agriculture,
and the U. S. Department
of Agriculture cooperating in the
project. So far, 85 per cent of
the land in the state has been

istry to be used by the students
n connection with their classwork.
During the school year the for;stry
classes will do periodic
work on this property, and in
summer a full six-weeks course
will be offered, according to J.
V. Hofman, director of the forestry
department.
The students will make special
studies of the growth and development
of trees and will gain
"irst hand experience in the care
ind management of forests.
The property will also be used
is a demonstration to show the
public how forest lands should
Pe managed and what improvements
can be made through proper
management. Timber will be
3ut from the area to demonstrate
approved methods of timber
harvesting.
The cut timber will be sold and
payments on the property will be
made from the revenue brought
In from such sales, Hofman stated.
The title to the land, however,
will be held by a non-profit
corporation for the sole use of
the forestry department at State
College.
The state is cooperating with
the college in providing fire protection
for the timber tract. A
number of fire wardens have been
appointed to check any fires
which may break out. They also
serve as game wardens to
prevent unlawful hunting or
abuse of the game on the tract.
A CCC camp is now on the
property, and the boys are constructing
roads, building fire
towers, and otherwise improving
the area. Another CCC camp
will be located there on October
1, Hofman said.
Hens Need Good
Care In Summer
The productivity of laying hens
in fall and winter depends a
great deal upon the care and
management given the poultry
flock during the latter part of
the summer.
Good egg prices are expected
for the rest of the year, says C.

J. Maupin, extension poultryman 1
at state college, and it will pay]
the flock owners to bring their [
hens into lay under favorablei |
conditions.
He recommends that the birds | c
be given good feeding, a clean: t
range, plenty of clean fresh wa- r
ter, and a clean comfortable | ]
I house or shelter. ' U
| By keeping the birds healthy j
and getting them to put on as j
much fat and body weight as ]
they can, they can be brought j
into lay with a reserve of flesh
and energy to meet the demands \
of the laying season. t
Sexual maturity should be de- |
layed in order to give the birds (
'a chance to put on weight be- i
fore starting to lay. Do not give (
[early hatched pullets a feed high t
[in protein. Avoid mouldy or chaf- j
fy feeds, or such material as corn ground
with the cobs.
If the birds fail to grow well,
examine them for internal and
external parasites, Maupin says. '
If mites or lice are found clean
j the roosting quarters and treat
[ the birds at once. For round
worms or tapeworms, give the
pullets a reliable worm treatment.
Find a good feed and 3tick to
it, Maupin recommends, unless
[ there is a good reason for changing.
Poultrymen often lose mon[ey
by switching from one brand
| to another.
Remove the old birds from the
[winter quarters. Scrub the floor
| and the fixtures and expose evj
erything possible to the sun; then
[let the house stand-vacant until
jwell dried. Use disinfectants libi
erally.

"ARM QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Q. When is the best time to
low crimson clover for soil im>rovement
?
A. This depends on the section'
>f the State but as a general rule i
he best time to sow in the
nountain section is from August
.5 to September 15. In the Piednont
the seed should be put in
>etween September 1 and 30.
Trom September 15 to October
.5 is the best time for planting
n the Coastal Plain section.
iVhere the seed are planted in
he hull they should be put in
>ne month earlier than the dates
jiven. Where the soil is not iniculated
for legumes this should
>e done by mixing the seed for
me acre with two to three hunIred
pounds of soil from a field
cnown to be inoculated. The seed
md soil are then sown with a,

moist mash to poultry through
the entire year?
A. There is very little to be
gained by this practice. However,
the moist mash has an important
place in the feeding at some time
during the year. It is used to
stimulate egg production and is
fed the early hatched pullets to
prevent a partial or complete
molt. It also hastens production
in the fall of the late hatched
pullets and keeps up production
of the laying hens through the
fall months. Feed about three
pounds of the mash to each 100
birds for best results.
