THURSDAY, JUNE IS, 1333 THE FRANKLIN PRESS d THE HIGHLANDS MACON LAN Your Farm - How to Make It Pay PROVIDE FRESH RANGE FOR GROWING TURKEYS rHEN young turkeys have (reached the age of from ei'nt to ten weeks, move them out to range shelters on clean ground which was free ,of all poultry, tur keys or poultry manure during the previous year. A good range will afford plenty of green feed, shade and fresh clean water. . "At this season of the year, growers usually begin to have trouble with their poults," says C. F. Parrish, poultry extension spec ialist at State college. "Blackhead begins to develop and this comes, in most cases, from laxity in sani tation. Success with turkeys is dependent Upon careful manage ment of the growing poults. Fresh range ' is essential." ' Parrish says much attention must also be given to supplying the right kind of feed. In . general, poults have the same nutritive require ments as chicks, A complete" grow ing ration is necessary for best results. Such a, ration will include animal, protein, grain, milk, green feed, minerals and water. Milk is useful during the first six weeks. The same commercial feeds rec ommended for chicks may be used with 'poults. However, one mash hopper five feet long is needed for each 75 poults. Two one-gallon water founts are also needed for this number of the birds. Place the mash hoppers and water founts on wire covered frames made from 2x4 timber. Mr. Parrish says it requires about 60 pounds of feed, exclusive of green feed, to fulfill the require ments of a poult during the 'first stATrir::fnbnths6 ' tin! erTnepoult shouTd" wejghTron"T 12 to 14 pounds. Always keep turkeys and chick ens separately, he advises. CANNERY SAVES SURPLUS A community cannery haS been set up at . New Bern to save sur plus produce from the community relief garden. Some 6,000 cases of vegetables are: expected to be can ned from the ISO-acre garden. Cleveland county poultry grow ers used much blood-tested stock this spring and as a result have had one of their best seasons in growing baby chicks, says the farm agent. id , if x V -.: , 4 t I'll''' The Farmer's Question Box Timely Questions Answered by N, C. State College Experts Question: Should soap be used in washing milk vessels? Antwer: No.. $Oap does not re move or dissolve the fat left to the walls , of all milk containers. An alkali powder will dissolve this fat and should be used. There are many kinds of powder on the mar ket but, in buying, be sure that it is alkali and Soap powder. Where it is impossible to obtain this pow-' der, ordinary baking, soda may be used and is just as effective. Question Should tobacco be ridged at each cultivation? Answer: Yes. As much soil as possible should be put around the plants at each cultivation in order to cover the plant bed leaves. This method will make a strong root system and will also hold up the plants in Case of wind storms! It is also best to cultivate both sides of the row at the same time as this aids in developing-a high root system that is very essential to early maturity. Queetion: At what ' temperature should eggs be- kept to prevent spoiling? Answer: To prevent spoiling, the eggs should be kept in storage where the temperature does not go belowT" 29 degrees .f or abov e (9. These are the freezing and germ ination points. For average farm conditions the storage temperature should range somewhere between 35 and 55 degrees. In storing eggs be sure that the cooling room is. fairly moist but not wet and also that the room is free from odors. " ' FERTILIZED PASTURES PAY In a pasture test being conducted by E. E. Bell of Pollocksville, cat tle on the fertilized pasture gained 814 pounds in 28 days. There is no difference in the pasture, ex- cept part was fertilized last March . -v-v . n t A 4 with 400 pounds of an 8-4-4 mix ture per acre. ,HI PRICE CARS VS.

The new law is said by C. B. Williams, head of the department of agronomy , at State, college, to be a distinct im provement over the old law and its amendments. One change which farmers will notice immediately will be in the listing of materials. Heretofore, ; in this state, phosphoric acid has been listed first, with nitrogen second and . potash third. The new law requires the nitrogen , to be listed first, phosphoric aCid second and potash third. Under-. this 'rule an 8-3-3 fertilizer becomes a 3-8-3 in the future. The guarantee for ni trogen must1 be expressed as hitro-; gen and not as ammonia, as in the past. , Mr. Williams points out also that I no fertilizer containing "less than! 14 per. cent of -.plant food wijj- be I allowed on sale. . This "does away ', with such low grades as an 8-2-2 1 anil means that the farmer will , spend less money for worthless fill er. ' Members of the agricultural com mittee of the" General Assembly also wished to. make the manufac turers state on the tag the kinds and amounts of all ingredients used in the fertilizer but the chem ists said they could not tell by analysis whether nitrogen, for in stance, came from cottonseed meak fish, or tankage. .However, the new law does require the amount of--insolublenitrogen to- be -given-Tobacco fertilizers are given spe cial consideration under the new law, Mr. Williams says. The sourc es of nitrogen and the amount of chlorine in the mixture must be listed. On the whole, Williams points out that the new law will give farmers more accurate information about their mixtures and he urges growers. -icuiakeiull advantage, of this fact. Timber is an essential part of the equipment of every farm and ' any rational farm program must ! t ,1 . ' f 1 nw include . the growing of timber for home use with a surplus for sale. June 5, 1933 1.1 THE SURPLUS PROBLEM CROP and market tn-rds for 1933 indicate that iiaiur.u fac tors alone will not reduce a r.-icul tural production in the I "niter Slates this year enough to dispose of the . burdensome surpluses, . of farm products. The hog , surplus, judging from current trends in production and exports, is likely to be greater in the coming season because then are, more hogs in this country and because the domestic market is be ing forced, by decreasing export demand, to consume a greater pro portion of the total ork producet' in this country. Pork const-mptior in the domestic market at . ruin ously low prices to producers - was relatively greater in 1932 than ir previous years. In . 1932 the do mestic market consumed 98 per cent of all the pork produced in the United- States, as compared with 96 'per cent in 1928. ' The hog pop ulation in the United States on .January 1, 1933, was estimated at 60,716,000 head as compared with an average of 57,028,000 head on the same date for the four years 1926-1929. The 1932 corn crop of nearly 3 billion bushels was the largest since 1925. Natural trends in production and consumption will not . solve these surplus problems that face Amer ican farmers and the Agricultural i Adjustment Administration. 4-H CLUB ENROLLMENT Enrollment in 4-H clubs through out the country for 1932 totaled 925,612 boys arid girls. Figures compiled by the Extension Service of the United States Department of Agriculture show that 34 States and 1 territory had an increase over the number enrolled the .previous year, A few cherry trees furnish a de pendable source of farm income, says C. E. Carpenter of Lincoln county, who sells about 500 gallons of the fruit a season. MARRIAGE LICENSES C. Tom Bryson, register of deeds for Macon county, issued marriage licenses to the following couple9 last week: Wade Bailey, of Rain bok Springs, to Miss Mary Mac Ginnis, of Beckley, Va.; Albert Amnions to Miss Grady Mae Cabe, both of Stiles; Larry Roosevelt Williams, to Miss Mary Martin, both of Rainbow bpnngs..

I have : read enchanting stories of them; but for that mat ter rare roses grow everywhere, though oftentimes we do not have the eyes to see them, and our nostrils are dead to their trag rance. Here and there are outstanding men and women, win are regard ed as great. But all around us art' men and women who posess those rich qualities, of high-nundedness, pure vision, gentleness, sympathy and love which make the atmo sphere full of wholesome and hap py living, They are the salt of the earth, the light of the world, whose gracious spirit is the frag rance and beauty of our lives. Here in our mountain town and section we have nature's lavished hand in beauty of scenery, and among our people we have many of those whose'kindness and sym pathy make a community of neigh -liness. 1 hope I may be pardoned for special mention of a sweet charac ter, whose endearing qualities gave a rich friendship to many of 'us. Elsie Ader did not stay long in our community, but she was such a friend that she quickly endeared herself to everyone. She is a young woman who is keeping alive the high ideals of womanhood. She can be good and gracious, and at the same time lovably human. No matter what my wife or Elsie's sweetheart may say, I, as a neutral admirer, wish to pay a small tribute to a lovely girl : LoVely spirit, whose lofty mind doth ..V -make Accord with purity of heart; . In whom gentleness, courage and high faith Blend as you've learned Life's better part. iiQjQfLJbuL . monious pose ; hoose the beit r Alive to all of Life's divinest music, Yet in the-garb of human sweetly dressed. ::Franklin Circuit: Notices REV.

Public Service Patent For Soil-Saving Machine The invention of a machine which successfully' prevents soil erosion and conserves moisture in soils has just resulted in the issuing of a public service patent to Raymond H. Davis, soil erosion specialist of the United States - Department of Agriculture. The machine cora- l . ' ...i ...u: i Dines an oruinary cuiuvuiur wuii set of shovels which dig about 10,000 holes an acre, giving a; wafflelike appearance to fields. It was used successfully in Kansas and later1 in the Palouse wheat belt, near Pullman, Wash. This machine has completely con trolled erosion on the principal soil of the Palouse country of Washington thus far when used on slopes up to 20 per cent, and has done much good on even steep er lands with highly erosive soil, reports H. H. Bennett, who is in charge of the soil-erosion activities of the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils. This machine makes it pos sible to retain approximately 2 inches of rainfall without damage to the land from soil washing and with much benefit to crops, espe cially in regions of light rainfall through increased storage of mois ture, f This method of conserving soil and water, is being tested further in Oklahoma, Missouri, and Wiscon sin with row crops uph as cotton and corn. hat Happens To.
