January Marked By Special
Farm Planning Meetings
By T. H. FAGG
(County Agent)
Agriculturally, January In Ma
con County was marked by two
special planning sessions between
farmers and personnel of the ex
tension service.
One dealt with poultry and the
other with tobacco.
On Jan. - 10, an excellent poul
try planning meeting was held.
People participating in the' meet
ing were poultry specialists from
N. C. State College, local exten
sion workers, and some 50 poultry
producers in the county. It was
brought out in the meeting that
as of Jan. 1, 1957, there were
150,000 hatching egg birds in Ma
con County, approximately 30,000
broilers, and practically no com
mercial egg flocks. This gives a
gross income in the hatching egg
industry alone of nearly one and
a quarter million dollars yearly.
Plan Highlights
Some highlights in the poultry
plan for the county in 1957 are
major emphasis on hatching egg
industry, with a proposed increase
in number of birds by 20,000 to up
gross income by approximately
$130,000; working with and trying
to secure markets for farmers
interested in commercial egg pro
duction; and giving all assistance
possible to farmers in broiler pro
duction.
It was recommended that poul
trymen raise their replacements
j from baby chicks, or at least se
I cure their, pullets from farmers
1 who grow them out in the country.
Use of pole-type construction in
! housing (lumber froiji farm where
possible) to cut costs was recom
mended. Cool conditions in the
house to increase production and
hatchability also was included.
45 Attend
On Jan. 18 a tobacco planning
meeting was held with 45 Macon
County tobacco producers, special
ists from Raleigh, and local coun
ty agent's staff participating.
As an introduction to the meet
ing, it was pointed out that in
1955 there were 217 tobacco allot
ments in the county with a total
acreage of 62.18 acres. Only 177
of these allotments were planted,
amounting to 50.9 acres. The total
production in Macon County in
1955 was 84,437 pounds, or 1,657
pounds per acre, which averaged
55 cents per pound for a gross of
$46,440, or $910 per acre. This
yield is approximately five hun
dred pounds tinder the state aver
age. It was further pointed out
that in 1956 there were 215 allot
ments in Macon County. Only 158
of these allotments were planted.
This amounted to an acreage of
46.88 acres. Forty-four farmers
put their allotments in the soil
bank, this acreage amounting to j
17.83 acres, for which they receiv
ed Thirteen farmers did
not plant acreage or put it in the
Soil Bank. Figures on total yields,
gross Income, etc., are not yet
available for 1956. but indications
are that It will average sixty cents
or better per pound.
A plan to assist tobacco farm
ers with Increasing their income
during 1957 has been drawn. The
plans centers on increased produc
tlon and improvement in quality '
and good management.
