FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION:?What should be
done with broody hens?
ANSWER:?Broody hens in lay
ing or in breeding flocks are a
source of great annoyance and loss
to the poultryman. Broodiness
is inherited and through controlled
breeding practices may be reduc
ed to a very low level. From a
state-wide standpoint great prc^
gress in reducing broodiness would
be made if those poultrvmen pro
ducing eggs for hatching pur
poses would cull every chicken
as soon as it becomes broody. This
would prevent a large portion of
eggs from broody hens gom.i> into
the incubators. The poultryman
should consider the relationship
of the broody hens to the feed bill,
for the non-producing broody bird
must still be fed during the period
of non-production. T.ie du.atkn
of the periods of broodiness vary
but usually one period of broodi
ness is quickly followed by anoth
er, which fact makes broody hens
I of questionable economic value.
QUESTION:?How does dehyd
rated sweet potato meal compare
with corn when fed to milking
cows?
ANSWER: ? Dehydrated sweet

One trial with fi\e cows in each
of two groups, has been completed
at State College. The potato mea
or corn made up 40 per cent ?>:
grain mixtures containing 18.5 per
cent protein. These two mixture
were compared in a double rever
sal feeding trial with periods 30
days in length. Slightly' more
milk was produced while the cows
were receiving the ration with
corn, but the difference was only
4 per cent fat corrected milk, an
amount considered insignificant.
QUESTION:?Why is the quali
ty of seed so important?
ANSWER: ? High yields per
acre don't just happen; they are
made by a combination of good
land, good seed, and good farming
pratices. Since it co<t^ almost as
much to grow a poor crop from
inferior seed as it does ;i good crop
from good seed, the difference in
return might well be considered
an extra profit. Buying good
seed instead of poor ones is an in
vestments which will pay divi
dends.
Sheep production in North Caro
lina, on the decline in recent years
because of shortages of fencing
material and labor, should increase
in the near future because of the
profits which can be obtained, ac
cording to L. I. Case, in charge
of Animal Husbandry Extension
at State College.
There is no question about the
profits to be -derived from sheep
growing when the animals are giv
en proper attention, Mr. Case said.
Last year growers in North Caro
lina received a gross income of
nearly $21 per ewe after spending
only one-fourth of that amount
to feed each ewe for 12 months.
Good feeding is one of the essen
tials for economical production of
market lambs and wool, the Ex
tension worker declared. The
N. C. FARMERS ASKED
TO GROW MORE GRAIN
With a heavy demand for food
still existing both in this country
and abroad, North Carolina farm
ers are beinu asked to grow more
corn, oats, barley and other -grain
crops during 1948, according to
G. T. Scott. State director of the
Production and Marketing Ad
ministration.
In announcing 1943 farm pro
ducjj^on go<.ils for the State as set
by the Secretary <>f Agriculture,
Mr. Scott .-.iid the critical feed sup
ply situation ha- made necessary
a reduction in the goals for live
stock and poultry.
The 1948 g >;.l lor corn produc
tion is 2.358.000 acre-, and increase
of 9 per cent over 1947 acerage.
The goal l??r wheat i> 600,000 acres,
an inc <\?se < f 15 per cent, and for
oats. 5-3.000 acr? s. an increase of
1 per cent.
Farmer- re a.-ked to produce
I,221,000 acre- of tame hay, about
the same ? s !?-?. year. The goal
for cott'.n 794.000 acres, an in
crease o! 27 per cent, and for Irish
potatoes, 78.800 acres, an increase
of 2 per (<:it.
The greatest decrease -een in

wnieh .- 602.000 acres as compar

1947. T: e hurley tobacca goal
is up 21 per cent, from 9.600 to
II,577 acre.-.
The'goal for sweet potatoes is
63,000 acres, a decrease of 2 per
