DEER ARE PESTS
IN NEW ZEALAND |
Wild Pigs and Deer, Intro
duced to Provide Sport,
Thrive Too Well
j. _. •
Auckland. —Deer and wild pigs, in
troduced in New Zealand to provide
•port for huntsmen, have proved a
countryside pest. -
.In no part of the world is there
!| ls such thrilling deer-stalking as in New
/Zealand, but there are not /enough
sportsmen The animals, secure in
their forest fastness, have multiplied,
•o rapidly that the Government has,
sent out official hunting parties to
fliin the herds.
One party spent, three months in,
the Lilburn Valley, shooting 700
magnificent red deer, the hides of
which were exported at a dollar
apiece
In another region—Canterbury—
where is some of the finest sheep,
country in the world, the depredations
.*• of the fallow deer were so severe that
the graziers asked Government action,
and within three weeks an official
party had bagged 600.
If pig-sticking were a popular sport
here—which it is not—the scope
would be unlimited. So destructive j
are the wild pigs that the Govern- (
ment pays 26 cents for every snout
that is delivered to its depots.
Island Off Coast of Ireland
Is Evacuated by Residents
• I
lnistrahull Island, six miles north-,
east of Malin Head, Northen Ireland,
was evacuated recently, the 76 inhabi
tants being conveyed with their house |
hold goods in boats to the mainland
at Malin Head. The people of lnistra
hull livod almost entirely by fishing, i
and when steam trawlers swept the j
extensive fishing bed around the.
island of fish and destroyed the
spawning be&, they had to leave. I
Only the keepers of the lighthouse
and a caretaker of a discontinued fog
horn remain on the 114-acre piece of
land with its cluster «f empty houses
and school house. lnistrahull is most
northerly of inhabited lssh islands,
and is passed by many American,
liners.

BERTIE POULTRY'
PROJECT REPORT
Six Flocks On Which Rec
ords Were Kept in
County
N
During the year 1929, there wen
six poultry flocks in Bertie county on
which records were kept by the own- j
ers in cooperation with the Office of j
Poultry Extension at State College;
and the county agent. The three j
breeds represented in these projects
were White Leghorn, Rhode Island
Reds and Bvred - Plymouth Rocks. :
These arc the most popular breed* ■
and farmers desiring to make the |
j most out of their poultry are advised j
to confine themselves to one of these
breeds. The average number of hens |
per flock for the year In these project*
was 116. These hens ate an average |
j of 88 pounds of grain and 40 pound*
of mash each and laid an average of
| 146.6 eggs par hen. The average feed
cost per hen was $2.21. Average feed
cost per dozen egg* was 17 cents
Average ssle price of eggs per dosen
was 30 cents. Average returns above
feed costs per hen of all flocks was
$1.82.
More farmers should keep records
| of various operations hi the farm so
| that they may know What phases of
the farm are being operated at a
: profit or loss and be thereby better
enabled to make improvements where
' they are needed.
I Only pure bred hens were kept in
the above flocks. They ate as much
mash as they did grain. Giain alone
is too fattening and will not give the
i most profitable egg production Only
| one breed should be kept on the farm
and they should be pure breds that
are bred for egg production. ,

Women Now Hold 41
Per Cent of Wealth
Washington, D o.—Reports of big
financial institutions as 1929 draws to
a close, show that 41 per cent of the
j country's wealth is in the hands of wo
men and more of It la drifUng toward
them each year, according to Woman's
Home Companion.
| Today 9,000,000 women Bhare in
I the payrolls of the country There is
$96,000,000,000 worth of insurance in
effect in America and 80 per cent of |
it is payable to women. One trust
company estimates that 70 per cent
of all the estates left by men pass in-
thy hands of women.

WILL GIVE HELP s
IN IMPROVING
SEED VARIETIES'
N. C. Crop Improvement u
Association To Aid
Farmer Groups 
—• — ' !!
Raleigh, Dec. 23.—The North Caro-jJ
lina Crop Improvement Association ,
! will aid groups of farmers in a com ,
munity who may wish to establish I 
j one standard variety of each im : 1
| portant crop grown in that com- |'
munity. I
| "Foufgroups have adopted the pro- j'
j duction of certified seed as a definite ( |
| community project," says Gordon K j
I Middleton, seed specialist at State 1
! College. "Two of these, the Woodlea) j
(community in Rowan county, and the
| Red Oak community in Nash county, ,
have be-in developing their program j
for two 01 three years Benson and ,
Candor in Johhston and Montgomery j
counties, begaa their work this season I
This ip being done in connection with ,
the local schools. County agents in
several counties are also developing
county-wide programs. Examples ot
this are seen in the cotton work in
Union, the lespedeza development in
Stanly and the production of certified
irish potato seed in Ashe, Avery and
! Watauga counties."
Mr. Middleton says that this kind j
of work, whether done on a commun
ity or county basis, has for its pur-1
pose the establishing of good standard
varieties of each crop in the com- j
munity and the production of surpluf
seed for sale. The first should be the!
chief objective because not every farrp j
er is so situated as to mee the cer
tification requirements of the Crop
Improvement Associatiop.
Any community wishing 'to start
the growing of one variety this next
season should see that every grower
gets enough registered or certified
seed to pltnt a small area and- then
produce enough seed for his entire
farm the second year; or, one or two 1
growers can get enough seed for the
I whole lot and multiply them for the
j entire community. This latter is prob
j ably the best plan, Bays Mr. Middle
ton, as it does away with pome of the
danger of mixing varieties.
Of the 29,000 bushels of cotton seed
! inspected this fall, 13,000 were grown
j by the four local comVnunity associa-,
j tions mentioned.
