Farmers of Brunswick County

on Friday, February 14,
I and apply for a commercial vege|

i Dodson, secretary of the Brunsi
wick County Agricultural Conservation
Association.
All growers have an automatic
exemption of 3.0 acres under
their worksheet that they may
:grow in the above crops. Sweet
i potatoes and strawberries are not
[classified as commercial vegetabI
les and growers will be allowed
'under'the 1941 agricultural conj
serration program to plant all
I the sweet potatoes or strawberries
that they wish without any
I penalty against their conservation
payments.
In 1940, sweet potatoes were
I included in commercial vegetables
[ and since they are not included
[for 19*11 as commercial vegeiaoj
les, many growers who needed
j commercial vegetable allotments
I for 1940 will not need one for
J1941.
The county committee of Brunswick
county is anxious that
where growers have already
made their arrangements to plant
! an acreage in excess of 3.0 acres
1 to Irish potatoes, market beans,
I cabbage, or cucumbers, that they
check with them on Friday, February
14, concerning their comImercial
vegetable allotment.
The county committee expects

according to their records, were
entitled to a commercial vegetable
allotment their allotment on
or before February 6th.

a pickup truck operated

by the Moco Trucking company,
of Concord.
The pickup truck was headed
east and the transport truck was

! but L. R. Harrill, State 4-H Club
leader of N. C. State College,
I promptly issued a challenge for
I an increase to 60,000 members in
j 1941. The 1,613 active 4-H Clubs
I last year was also a new high
1 for the State, but Harrill says
j "we should have at least 1,700
! clubs in 1941, and a minimum of
| five clubs in each county."
The Extension Service club
I leader announced the following

(.SIX-POINT PROGRAM FOR
QUALITY POULTRY GIVEN
T. T. Brown, Extension poul-1
| try specialist of N. C. State ColI
lege, says the greatest need in
j the North Carolina poultry in-;
I dutsry is to improve the quality
of poultry products offered on
| the market. "Local distributors
of poultry products are always
glad to handle our local products
if we will furnish them quality
eggs and meat in sufficient quantity
and steadily", he says.
As . a six-point program for
producing quality, Brown lists:
(1) Keep only purebred and
secure the chicks or stock from a
dependable breeder; (2) avoid
overcrowding?allow baby chicks
at least one square foot of floor
space for each two chicks, exclusive
of space occupied by the
brooder; (3) provide plenty of
[ ventilation without floor drafts;
(4) use a high quality feed and
feed liberally; (5) provide ample
feed and watering equipment;
and (6) clean and disinfect the
house and equipment thoroughly
before the chicks are started, and
keep the house and yards clean.
Three marketing hints are also
given by the State College specialist:
(1) Destroy thin, light, and
diseased birds, never offer them
on the market and market only
finished birds; (2) grade and assort
live market birds according
to size, color and finish; and (3)
starve birds to be dressed for 15
to 20 hours before slaughter, but
do not withhold drinking water.
