Clean Brooder House

The greatest chick losses occur

I makes it necessary to clean the
I house thoroughly before the chicks
I are placed n it.
"To go at out having a sanitary

I should first scrape all the old

side walls rnd floor of the hou
I and clean the water containers.
I mash hoppers and other equipment
used in the house," declares H. C.
Gauger, associate professor in the
I Poultry department of State Colleno
*u;~ i.i

with a lye solution made by dis- 1
solving one pound of lye in ten gal- *

Warrenton, North Ci
x> the greater need for restoring
small grain which has been heavily
iamaged by the cold spells during
he past few weeks.
During recent years the North
Carolina experiment station has
:ound by tests*the relative value of
/arious nitrogenous materials. With
wheat, for example, a spring topiressing
of 15 pounds of nitrogen
(equivalent to 100 pounds of nitrate
}f soda or 75 pounds of sulphate of
immonia) to the acre has increased
the yield by five bushels.
On heavily acid soils nitrate of
soda produces larger yields than
sulphate of ammonia. On soils that
nave been moderately limed there
is little difference betwen the two
materials. Sulphate of ammonia,
nowever, gives best results rn soils
where excessive amounts of lime
nave been used.
At present prices, 100 pounds of
nitrate of soda cost about $1.75 and
sulphate of ammonia about $1.50
ftve bushels of wheat valued at 90
sents a bushel are worth $4.50, or
52.75 more than the cost of nitrate
if soda and $3 more than the cost
>f sulphate of ammonia.
Since the nitrogen fro a sulphate
jf ammonia can be provided at a
ower cost, this type of fertilizer is
recommended for soils that have
seen limed recently. On acid soils,
however, nitrate of soda is best.
The top-dressings are not fully
effective unless applied early. In
the Piedmont it should be applied
from March 1 to 15 and in the
mountain sections between March
10 and 25. In all cases the topdressing
should be applied when
wheat first starts to spring growth.
Make Farm Plans
According To Needs
Growers who have signed cotton
>r tobacco reduction contracts will
Find it helpful to plan systematically
for the best use of the acreage
rented to the government, says
Charles A. Sheffield, assistant extension
director at N. C. State College.
One of the best ways to go about
the planning is to prepare a table
showing how many persons and
head of livestock are to be fed on
the farm and the amount of for d
ind feed crops each will need.
The total amount of such crops
needed can then be compared with (
i list of all crops grown on the farm
last year. If the farmer has not
aeen growing enough of the neces- J
sary crops, he has figures to show ;
iust what additional foods and feeds '
ne needs to produce.

sotal amount of crops that he has |
seen producing, the grower may
find it convenient to reduce a

;oo much, so that he can increase
mother crop. Or if he likes, he ,
;an grow his feed crops on the
ented acres and reserve the other
and for crops to be marketed. Omv
:rops for consumption at home can
)e grown on the rented acres.
Mr. Sheffield has prepared a
special circular, "Planning for Agri >

systematic farming and shows how
nuch foods and feeds are required
'or the healthful maintenance of
>oth people and animals.
The circular may be obtained,

Kerr Gets Ready
To Push His Bill
For Tobacco Cut
Following a favorable report on
the Bankhead compulsory cotton
reduction bill by the committee on
agriculture in the House of Representatives,
Representative John H.
Kerr immediately began laying
plans to have his similar bill for
tobacco follow hard on the heels of
the Bankhead measure, according
to a newstory by Robert E. Williams
in The News and Observed. Mr.
William wrote:
The Bankhead bill as reported
has been greatly modified from the
original arait ana now cioseiy resembles
the Kerr bill which was
drawn by officials of the department
of agriculture. It is expected
that the bills will bear even closer
resemblance to each other before
final enactment.
The original Bankhead bill would
have prohibited the ginning of more
than 9,000,000 bales of the year'.?
crop. That was changed to a tax
measure, the tax being first placed
at 12 cents a pound, later reduced
to 75 per cent of the value, and in
the form reported by the committee
still further reduced to 50 per
cent of the value, while the amount
of cotton to be exempted from tax
was increased first to 9,500,000 bales
and in the final draft to 10,000,000
bales.
The Kerr tobacco bill carries a
tax of 25 per cent on the selling
price. As both bills now stand they
provide for rebates of the tax
through certificates to be issued to
the growers to cooperate in the reduction
campaigns. The provision
has also been made as to both
crops for the inclusion up to five
per cent of farmers who could not
qualify, through past average, in
the reduction campaigns.
Judge Kerr is now busy lining up
the delegations of other tobacco
producing bills for his measure.
There will be a real fight on the
Bankhead bill, but it has been
specifically and emphatically endorsed
by President Roosevelt and
is expected to pass. Judge Kerr
feels that after that fight is over
there will be comparatively little
opposition to his measure.
Both the Bankhead and Kerr bills
as they now stand conform substantially
to suggestions made to
Senator Bailey in a letter from Dr.
Clarence Poe and Judge Kerr expects
Senator Bailey to take the
lead in the Senate for his bill.

to get a rule reported out for the
consideration of his bill and Mr.
Pou is expected to render a similar
service for the tobacco bill.
Both bills are desired by overwhelming
majorities of the growers
and Representative Kerr said he
would not ask North Carolina farmers
to come here to testify beforj
the Agricultural Committee unless
opposition develops before that
body.
Farm Questions
And Answers
Question: How can a poultry be
rid of worms?
Answer: There are two methods
for treating worm infested fowl.
One is to place worm-removing ingredients
in the mash and the
other is to treat each individual
bird with mediated tablets or capsules.
The individual treatment is
best, however, as in this way the
poultryman is sure that each bird
gets the medicine. These tablets
are sold at practically all drug
stores and may be bought for both
chicks and adult birds. Place the
tablet or capsule deep in the bird's
mouth and rub the throat downward
to make sure the medicine is
swallowed. Follow this treatment
with Epsom salts at the rate of onehalf
pound of salts to three gallons 1
of water for every 100 adult birds.
The day following clean the house 1
thoroughly and burn all refuse. <
i
Question: What is meant by a :
full ration for the dairy cow?
Answer: This term, as used by <
dairymen, means a sufficient
amount of feed to maintain the
body and produce the maximum
amount of milk. This varies with
the individual animal but a safe
method is to feed the cow all the
roughage, including hay and silage,
that she will eat. The grain ration
is then fed in proportion to the
amount of milk produced and one
or two trials will determine the
proper amount of grain for the
maximum production of milk.
Question: How much nitrogen
fertilizer should be applied to apple
and peach trees?
Answer: The amount of this fertilizer
needed may be Judged by the
diameter of the tree. For apples
the general rule is to apply in
pounds the amount equal to onehalf
the diameter in inches. Pteach
trees get the amount in pounds
equal to one-fourth of the diameter.
Moderately pruned trees on poor i
sandy loam soils will require a
slightly heavier application than
trees on clay soils and orchards in
sod require more than those in cultivation.
Home grown Irish ]x>tatoes will
be tested for seed in Yadkin county
again this season against Maine
gTown seed. The difference in yield,
time of maturity and other characteristics
will be observed.
The 1500 cotton growers of Cumberland
county who signed reduction
contracts are in favor of the i
Bankhead control bill or something
"tighter", they voted at a recent 1
meeting In Fayetteville.

Headed For Doorstep
Of The White House
WASHINGTON, Mch. 7.?'The :
price fixing issues, in stark and direct
fashion, may shortly be placed i
on the White House door-step. ]
John A. Simpson, militant head of :
the farmers' union, left tonight for 1
Des Moines, where he plans to attend
a conference of western governors,
most of whom are already
committed, in some degree, to pricefixing
with respect to agricultural
commodities.
The thing that has given new life
to this issue, or demand of the
farmers' union, supported by a
group of governors, is the decision
of the Supreme court in the New
York milk case, which upheld the
light of the state to fix a minimum
price for milk, in the interest of
the dairv DeoDle. when such action
has been taken in behalf of the
general welfare. Now Simpson and
his associates will take the position,
when next they move on Washington,
that the opposition does not
have a leg to stand on, that pricefixing
has the sanction of the Supreme
court.
A number of the farm organization
leaders have failed to sympathize
with the farm relief forces of
the administration and some of
them take the view that a frank
system of price-fixing, going direct
to the heart of the trouble, instead
of resorting to allotment plans, processing
taxes and now the proposal
to control cotton production
by resort to a prhibitive tax, would
be the part of wisdom. They make
the point that there is no need of
going in for socialism on the one
hand, or of facing the possible loss
of foreign markets on the other
hand, that simple fixing of prices
under government supervision on
that portion of the crops domestically
consumed, selling the surplus for
whatever it will bring in the world
markets, would be far better.
There is the possibility, therefore,
that government price fixing,

of Simpson and his friends, the
vestern governors.
Congress May
Adjourn By May 15
WASHINGTON, March 7?An
early order from President Roosevelt
for concentration on vital recovery
legislation with a view to
bringing about an adjournment of
Congress by the May 15 dead line
be has in mind was foreseen today.
The President lias asked for and
expects the enactment of a stock exchange
control bill and the establishment
of the proposed communications
commission, but it is be-'
coming more and more apparent
che administration wishes Congress
to wind up by mid-May.
Therefore, these two measures
and the St. Lawrence waterway
treaty soon will have to take their 1
chances as primary attention is fo-v
cused upon the necessary appropriatoin
and tax bills and the
President's tariff bargaining proposal.
A war debts message will go forward
to Capitol hill before long but
this is exnected to be more in the
nature of a report than a request
for legislative action.
It is apparent that the President
is intent upon fulfilling a recovery1
program mapped out last summer
and is going to focus main efforts
of the government upon this.

For this reason some advisers believe
he will not be so much concerned
about new propositions pending
before Congress so long as full
opportunity is allowed for advancement
of the domestic recovery
efforts.
In this connection an extension
of the licensing power under the
national recovery act is expected to
be asked by the adtninistration.
This power expires in June.
Mr. Roosevelt himself is saying
nothing about his future plans with
Congress except that he has completed
the presentation of his legislative
program. He is watching
events on Capitol hill very closely
and there are signs he is seeking
an adjustment of the veterans
economy plan which was wrecked
in the senate by votes for increased
benefits over the Roosevelt budget.
This adjustment will be sought in
the impending conferences between
the house and senate on this legislation.
That is one of the big
stumbling blocks in the administration's
congressional path.
Mr. Roosevelt has made all Dlans
for the summer contingent on Congress
adjourns in time, but he is
very much counting on a sea cruise
through the Panama canal to the
Pacific late in June.
With disposition of the row over
veterans' allowances which is now
receiving administration attention
the only other major dispute expected
is over cash payment of the
bonus certificates and the senate
has already shown its strength
against this in one test.
