Dosher, county farm agent, iid in a statement issued today. The first step in a successful >ultry program is for each perm who is buying baby chicks to ;t the best chicks they can buy. large number of hatcheries in le State are selling quality licks. Quality chicks will live itter and produce more eggs on ss feed than chicks will of poor quality, Mr. Dodson declared. The one aim of all buyers of iby chicks is to raise as many i possible. This can be done by oper feed and care. The broodhouse should be thoroughly eaned in advance of the chicks Tival and the brooder started at ast two days before the chicks rive. This should be done so that ,e brooder can be set on the corct temperature when the chicks > come and to have the house oroughly dried out The temrature around the house should ! around 95 ? 100 degrees for e first few days; After that it ay be dropped around five deges per week until they need no ore heat, the county agent said Feeding the baby chicks is a ost important part of raising e chicks. For the first day or ro, the chicks should be fed lick grain. This will enable the licks' system to start funcuong properly. They should be fed veral times a day. Then a good ade of starting mash should be spt before them at all times and d grain three times daily.

The production this I year is sufficient to adequately B feed their families and supply an B enormous amount of food to sol- B Tr? oHHitinn tn frwl nmdllCCd I to meet the need of the family, on an average, each family produced sufficient eggs per family to feed at least five soldiers, auf- U ficient pork to feed at least 3 soldiers, and sufficient poultry to feed at least two soldiers, and sufficient increase in truck crops to feed at least two soldiers. This survey showed that the 76 FSA families in Brunswick supervisor for Brunswick county have increased their food projjuoUofl this year over their first entrance on the FSA program as follows: Dairy cattle, including ail ages, have been increased from 22, before entrance on the program, to 95 cattle in 1942. This is an increase of 431% in cattle. There were 65 of the dairy cattle producing milk this year. They produced more than 25,500 gallons of milk. There has been an increase in hogs, all ages, from 52 head per year to 836 this year. There has also been a very noticeable rise in weights at slaughtering time. More of the t>Ts killed for heme ' I use and sold on the market reach the desirable market weight of 200-225. Layers have ben increased from a pre-FCA program year of 1216 to a flock of 2940 for 1942. Of the 23,520 dozen eggs produced uus year, xi.oou uozeu wcit consumed by the families and the remainder, 11,870 dozen, were used to feed our soldiers. Prior to entrance on the program these families Canned 6,384 qts. of food. This year they canned 20,140 quarts of food. The Increase could not have been realized without the 48 steam pressure cookers, all of which have been purchased since entrance on the FSA program. There has been six tractors, discs, grain drills and combine commuhity and cooperative services organized by groups of farmers in Brunswick County within the last eighteen months. This litis encouraged community cope ration and enabled many farm families to plant small grains that they could not otherwise. This is a picture of what a group of farm families can do. Their goals have been set for 1943. They are higher than for this year and it is hoped that the goals will be exceeded. Small farm families, upon an average, can increase their food production 25% or even double It with his own labor and equipment with some agricultural assistance and some additional finance, than the large farmer who does not have the land and labor to expand. As a united people we must get the maximum food production to prevent a food shortage.
