ANSWERS TIMELY
FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION ? How can I treat
pruning wounds in my orchard.
ANSWER ? Pruning wounds
will heal most rapidly when made
clo<e. Avoid leaving stubs which
will eventually rot. especially if
large. It is nut necessary to coyer
wounds o[ two inches < r less with
protective material. When larger I
wounds are m .tie it is advisable
to cover them with a preparation ,
of pure wi.i'e !ead and lin.-eed oil.'

Dirt Floors Are Costly
To Tar Heel Poultrymen
Broudmg baby chiei'.s on dirt
:ivors is costing Noith Carolina,
poultrymen thousands ol dollars
e.ieh year, according to Prof. Roy
S. Dearstyr.e, head o: the Poultry
department at State College.
Dirt floors in the brooder house
provide ideal pi: cos f?-r coccidia.
worm eggs and many oi the dis
ease producing germs to live for
long period! ot tifne, Prof. Dear
styne said.
Disinfecting such floors is. im
practical, he declared, and despite
the careful use of litter, chicks will
scratch through the litter to the
dirt floor and *eat some of the floor
material.
It is probably that the cost of
building materials will not remain'
at the present high level for an
extended period ot time, and the
poultryman having houses with
dirt floors should give serious con
sideration to replacing such floors
with concrete or wood. Prof. Dear
stvne said.
FACTS THAT PROVE
ft
FARMERS FEDERATION CHICKS
ARE REAL MONEY MAKERS
Inherited Egg Production
All of our Hatchery Supply Flocks producing pure bred eggs, are mateci with cockerels which come from hens that have laid
250 or more 26 oz. per dozen-eggs per year. All. of cur purebred chicks inherit high production oi large size eggs. The average
hen lays less than 100 eggs per year. Farmers Federation hens have inner, .ar.ec t !..y 2"0 more eggs per year. At present
egg prices, one egg will pay the difference in price of one chick.
Hatchery And Supply Flock Disease Free
>
Our Hatchery and incubators are cleaned thoroughly each day and fumigated twice weekly. All birds in our supply flocks
are blood-tested every 30 to 60 days, thus eliminating chaces for disease getting into our chicks. Farmers Federation chicks
will live and grow.
