C. F. Parrish, Extension poultry specialist of N. C. State College, says now is the time to "Cull out, but don't sell out." A group of farm cooperatives and private firms, cooperating with the State College Extension Service and the N. C. Department of Agriculture, have organized an egg-buying pro gram, to offer an unlimited market at standard prices. Parrish says de tails of the program can be learned by farm people from their county farm and home agents. The buying program is designed to remove sur plus eggs from the market. As general recommendations to poultry producers for the month of March, Parrish said: "As we reach the spring period of flush egg pro duction, don't sell the flock, but just cull out the low producers and the hens that have quit laying. "This gradual culling of non-lay ers will help to prevent a slump in the poultry meat market," the Ex tension specialist explained. "The slump in egg prices is not expected to be as severe as in years past. The duration of the slump is expected to be comparatively short due to the Government, cooperative and pri vate egg-buying programs." As further suggestions to poultry farmers, Parrish said that the use of electric lights in the hen house, to induce heavier production by arti fically lengthening the "daylight" hours, should be discontinued grad ually as the days get longer. "Avoid giving the flock more than a 14 hour day if morning lights are used," he advised. Parrish also recommended that the use of wet mash be gradually reduc ed until the practice is discontinued entirely as the days lengthen "Wet mash will be needed again about the last of June to help hold the flock in production through hot weather," he said. Lights In Poultry House Prove Profitable in Winter Jones County poultrymen are find ing that it pays to use lights in the poultry house during the winter months, since hens eat more mash and thus lay more eggs. a Argentina farmers picked up $57, 006,31$ In sales of dairy products, wool, butter and eggs, to the United States during the first eight months of 1041. a Farmers, dairymen, stockyard op erators, and livestock producers are requested by the Government to make special efforts to conserve bal in^wir^h^jea^ Infant Victim of Burma Bombing News of the Day Ncwireel A grief-stricken Burmese native clutches his son as he tells Sir Reginald Dorman-Smith, Burma governor, how a Jap bomb killed thq baby's mother near Rangoon.

Recommends Red Clover, Lespedeza For an excellent forage and soil building crop, E. C. Blair, Extension agronomist of N. C. State College, suggests a combination of red clover and lespedeza to Piedmont and Mountain farmers. He lists five ad vantages from such a combination: 1. You get a crop of mixed red clover and lespedeza hay In Septerff ber. 2. You get a crop of red clover hay (containing no lespedeza) the fol lowing May. 3. You harvest a crop of red clov er seed in August. This is combined and all the crop except the seed can be left on the land for soil improve ment. 4. You can combine a crop of les pedeza seed in November. 8. The stalks and leaves of the red clover and lespedeza, combined for seed in August and November, can be turileo under to build up the soil. Blair said that red clover was a favorite crop in the western half of the State prior to the 1920's. From 1920 to 1930 farmers gradually switched to lespedeza, because red clover needed lime and lespedeza ew satisfactorily without lime. "Now that thousands of tons of AAA limestone has been applied by Piedmont and Mountain farmers dur ing the past few years, most soils are in good condition to grow red clover again," the agronomist stated. "Red clover is generally conceded to be a better legume than lespedeza." Blair says that lespedeza has one serious disadvantage: It makes only one crop per year, and usually this must be cut for hay. Red clover makes two crops annually. Also, some farmers who have been growing les pedeza for years, and cutting most of it for hay, are becoming aware of the soil-depleting effects of the crop. The combination of red clover and leapedeza has all the advantage* of each crop, and eliminate* moat of the disadvantage*. Long - Staple Cotton Sought In This State The war has created a demand for long-staple cotton, measuring from 1 1-8 to 1 1-4 inches in length. North Carolina farmers have been called upon to produce 42,000 bales of this long-staple cotton in 1942, which is an increase of 25,000 bales over 1941. J. A. Shanklin, Extension cotton specialist of N. C. State Collage, says farmers should be cautious about going into the production of long-sta ple cotton. "In the first place," he says, "Coker 100 and Coker-Wilds varieties are the only ones grown In this area that produce the desired staple length. Furthermore, only a small percentage of the Coker 100 variety can be expected to staple 1 1-8 inches and longer." Both breeder-grown and other seed stocks of Coker-Wilds are very limited for 1942, and Shanklin says every care possible should be taken to inr.in, ti.nS of Vnnu/n varietal pur ity. The other varieties normally pro ducing the medium-long staple lengths are grown principally in the Delta, and all available stocks of good seed will be planted in that sec tion. for farmers planning to grow the long-staple cotton in 1942, the Ex tension cotton specialist offers the following suggestions: "Test all planting seed and use only seed ger minating 80 per cent or better. Treat all seed, before planting, with Cere san, to reduce loss of young plants and to assure a good stand. "Where facilities are available, Ltx'al (Joint To Play In Tourney Tonight The Williamston All-Stars will be one of the first teams to take the floor in the men's division tonight when they meet the Atlantic Christ ian College Fraternity team in the 14th Annual Gold Medal Basketball Tournament, sponsored by the Rocky Mount Y M C A. on the latter's gym floor. This game, the first one of the first round, will begin at 8:30, and is the opening game of play in the independent division. At 9:30, the strong Durham Y team will play the Princeton All-Stars. The other two games of the quarter finals will be played Wednesday night. Should the locals win tonight's game, they will play again at 8:30 on Thursday night, meeting the win ner of the game between the top seeded Raleigh White Flash and the New River Marines, the latter game to be played tomorrow night Accurdmg to-rumors, the locals are seeded third in the tourney, the sec ond place spot going to the Rocky Mount Y varsity, defending champ ions. The Durham Y entry rounds out the four "seeded" positions. De spite the soedings, the reports are that all the teams are fairly evenly seedcd doesn't mean that they will have an easy victory in their open ing game. The locals realize that they are facing a team which they know little about, and they are not taking their opposition too lightly mechanical deluding of cotton seed is recommended, as this is usually helpful in hastening germination and getting a good stand. Plantings of Coker-Wilds cotton should Ik* isolat es! from shorten-staple varieties to prevent or minimize cross-pollina tion. This practice will help to in crease seed stocks for 1942."

COLONIAL POULTRY FARMS Fdenton, N. C. Farmers Are I rged To .Harvest Clover 1 Farmers who have crimson clover this year should certainly plan to harvest the seed crop, according to] E. Y. Floyd of State College, state AAA executive officer, who points out that larger supplies of seed will ( be needed for winter cover crops and a good price is expected. The crimson clover seed purchase program announced by the United States Department of Agriculture last September provides North Car olina farmers participating in the AAA program with a market for seed at prices somewhat higher than pre vailed last year, he said. In states east of the Mississippi River the basic price for recleaned. tested seed, delivered in bags to des ignated handlers, is 115 cents per pound if germination is 00 per cent or more. Provision also is made for] a scale of prices ranging down to 10 5 cents per pound for seed germinat ing 80 per cent. Mr Floyd pointed out that prices this fall may range even higher than the level set in the j purchase program In operation, he declared, the pro gram will be similar to that of last year when seed growers of Tennes see and Kentucky delivered more than 600.000 pounds of crimson clov er seed to the Commodity Credit Corporation. The AAA official said saving crini Mm riover seed is especially import ant tin. year if farmers are to have i lake euro of seeding? requirements next fall. In previous years, he pointed out, about one-half of the crimson clover seed used in this country was imported, but due to the war no seed is available from overseas this year. For this reason, he said, enough must be grown at home to supply an expanded need for planting winter cover crops in this country. Ditchnrged Battery ff'ill Freeze At 32 Degree* Q| t|l Weaver,-?Extension ^picul tural engineer of State College, says a discharged battery will freeze at slightly under 32 degrees Fahrenheit, with possible damage to the plates. If the battery is kept charged, the solution will withstand a much low er temperature without freezing. Weaver says that a storage battery has less than one-half the normal starting capacity when the tempera ture is at zero. Maximum starting ca pacity is at HO degrees Fahrenheit. All commercial British green houses producing crops for sale have been ordered to produce tomatoes exclusively for at least six months of the year.
