State College Answers Timely Farm Questions I Q. How much space should be allowed for feeding poults? A. Young turkeys require 1 lineal foot of feeder frontage for each 5 poults, according to Prof. R. S. Dearstyne at State College. At 4 weeks of age, change to intermediate size feeders and provide 2 feet for each poults. He also suggests two fountains of three-gallon capacity for 125 poults and that they be kept filled with fresh, clean water at all times. This amount of water should be doubled not later than the fourth week. Q. Where can I Bet log mea sure tables? A. Just ask the county agent or one of the Extension forest ers for a copy of Extension Folder No. 59. It gives tables for both Doyle and Internation- j al log rules. These tables are j designed for measuring logs from 8 to 40 inches in diameter and short logs as used by han dle plants and veneer mills in lengths of 30 to 96 inches, as well as longer or standard logs State College Hints For Farm Homemakers BY Rl'TH CURRENT Honey and peanut butter make a favorite combination for filling sandwiches and spread ing on toast. Mix honey and peanut butter just before using, because the mixture soon hard ens. The popular flavor and high-quality protein, energy value and B-vitamins of peanut butter make it a good food in soups, main dishes, and desserts as well as in sandwiches. Ohe thing is certain say nu tritionists. Going without break fast is a bad start. for the day. It's been found that workers who skip breakfast get less done in the first working hour than those who tuck away a good meal before work. As the morn ing goes on, the hungry ones grows less efficient. After lunch they do better; then they slow up again. What happens to these workers happens to home makers, too, and to everyone else. It's especially true for children. A child who eats a good breakfast has a better chance to do well with studies and games. Labor Profit Of $2 A Day By 4-H Boy Everyone likes a Winner but especially the fellow who has failed in his first endeavor and then comes back to make a rousing -success. That's the story of Roy Staton of the Marsh ville 4-H Club in Union County. Last year Roy began his poultry work with 500 chicks but he allowed his brooder to get too hot and lost a number of chicks. Later the chicks in this weakened condition were attacked by coccidiosis and further losses occurred. As a result, he raised only about 350 out of his 500 chicks. Thia year Ray joined the poultry club and began work under the direction of N. B. Nicholson, assistant county agent of the State College Ex tension Service. He profited by his experiences of last year and followed instructions closely, raising 493 chicks out of a brood of 500, Roy also kept a careful rec ord of his work at Nicholson's suggestion. He listed his ex penses as $45 for chicks, $12 for litter, $114.87 for feed and wood, and a miscellaneous ex pense of $1.75. "In the eleventh week I sold the pullets and 15 cockerels for breeding purposes for $207.50," Roy said. "During the twelfth week I sold the remainder of the cokerels for $137.55. My labor profit was $171.43 for 12 weeks of work, or $2.04 a day for work after school." for lumber in 8 to 20-foot lengths, according to R. W. Graeber, in charge of Exten sion forestry at State College. He will forward you a copy of the folder on receipt of a card.

Use two pounds of arasan in treating 100 pounds of shelled peanut ?e?d for better itancU and larger yitldi Proper Storage Of Eggs Saves Money ?In warm weather rapid changes take place inside the egg unless it is stared in a cool, moist place. The quality of an egg cannot be improved after it is laid but the original freshness and quality can be preserved until it is marketed. T. T. Brown, Extensioh poul try specialist at State College, suggests that eggs be cooled quickly after they are gather ed, kept under proper .storage conditions, and then be market ed once or twice a week. Since fertile eggs deterorate much more rapidly than do in fertile eggs, he also suggests that all -cockerels be sold or separated from the laying fiock as soon as hatching eggs are no longer needed. A basement, cellar, insulated room, or a tobacco ordering pit is a good place to store eggs in summer. The room should be kept reasonably moist and well ventilated. Hydrated lime may be sprinkled over the floor to check, mold development and prevent musty odors. Opening the -windows at night and clos ing them during the day helps to maintain a lower tempera ture. "Poor storage and handling of. eggs during, hot weather causes large losses to the farm er and to the consuming pub lic," Brown says. "Under pres ent meat shortage conditions when every possible egg is needed for food, proper storage not only saves money but also valuable food." North Carolina ,wool will probably be marketed coopera tively this year as last through the United Wool Growers Asso ciation, says Leland Case, Ex tension animal husbandman at State College. EXECUTRIX NOTICE Having qualified as executrix of Bessie M. Richardson, de ceased, late of Macon County, N.

M24 Save Those Pigs That Usually Die About one- fourth of the pigs die between farrowing and mar | keting and a large part or these j losses can be prevented sayf> Lor. C. D. Grinnells, veterinar ian of the Agricultural Expe | riment Station at State Col | lege. He gives the following sug gestions for control of sonrte of ihe common causes of baby pig losses. Provide a balanced diet for the sow with needed min erals and vitamin A to help prevent scours, which is caus ed by the toxic quality of thj sow's milk. Minerals and vita min D help to prevent rickets. There Is also a baby pig dis ease caused by a sugar defic iency. Feeding of plenty of car bohydrates prevents tnis and sometimes an injection of glu cose is needed to save the pigs. The baby pig also needs iron in his system' and the placing of clean sod in the pig creeps helps to take care of this con dition. Iron salts solution is often sprinkled over the sod. Parasites are always a prob lem in pig growing and for this reason it is suggested that the sow and pigs be kept on the fresh land of temporary graz ing crops or in clean pastures, j Dr. Grinnells points out that many pig diseases trace back to the feeding it>f4 the sow oe fore and after farrowing. If she 1 des not get the proper feeds, she is unable to properly nour ish her pigs. "Pigs saved by the above suggestions are one of the quickest ways of Incfeasing the meat supply," he says. The National 4-H Better Farm-and Home Methods Elec tric Contest is designed to en courage farm boys and girls to learn how to apply, principles of work simplification to every type of activity. ? FARM HINTS Wortih Knowing Chicks and young chickens on U. S. Farms as of April 1 were estimated at 203' i millions compared with almost 229 mil lion last year. Raise an extra brood to swell the meat sup ply. Turnip greens, put In cold water and cooked tor 30 min utes, held one-third of their vitamin C. When put in boiling water and cooked for the same time, they retained three fourths of their C. Never pour boiling water over cold dishes, or' cold water on hot dishes. Harsh scouring and strong soaps may also damage dishes. Egg production in North Car olina during the first three months of the year was - 293 million as - compared with 296 million last year. With fewer - early pullets, what about the fall lay? Sampson county collected 5, 884 pounds of waste fat in Feb ruary and March through the 4-H clubs, says Mrs. Estolle T. Smith of State College, chair man of the State Fat Salvage committee. When someone's barn burns, there's always the expression: "The work of years gone up in smoke." The same thing hap pens when the farm woodland burns. All poultry houses should have plenty of sunlight. This sunlight helps to keep the house dry, Is a good germicide, and serves to produce vitamin D in the bird's body.
