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 I r< Peopli ?; fcj % Will Api Maximu I ^ j. w. ru; Presidei THE STATE 1 ict Contestants ^BS^H InH^ ' Jj testanta who participated in the' >f the State Cotton Association in right, in the order that they were! >n Pait, Bladenboro; John Roland | rhomas, Broadway; Wade H.

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.

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. j|H HBfH |fl PHRWitavfelHjj I BILIOUSNESS I ON PAR You can I mobile repair have to wait i the most com] mobile of anj mm I5* radius.

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.
