Infertile Eggs Keep
Best In Summertime
Get rid of, or pen up the roosters
and produce only infertile eggs, says
C. P. Parrish, head of the poultry
Extension Office at N. C. State Col
lege, in his suggestions to poultry
raisers for the month of May.
"The male birds are of no use in
the flock after hatching is completed,
so sell them, eat them, or at least
separate them from the hens," the
specialists said.
He pointed out that infertile eggs
keep much better than fertile eggs
in the summertime. Gather the eggs
often in wire baskets, especially in
the broody hen season, and this will
help to cool the eggs quickly, The
eggs should be left in the wire bask
ets overnight, before packing in oar
tons or cases for marketing.
Continuing his advice, Parrish
said: "If a cool moist room is not
available for holding the eggs until
marketing time, construct an egg
cooling rack. It consists of a frame
work covered with burlap on one or
more sides with provision being made <
for a water pan or can on top to >
keep the burlap curtain saturated
with water. The evaporation keeps '
the egga cool and moist."
As other suggestions for work in
the poultry yard this month, the
specialist said a soybean patch should
be started now to provide green feed
and shade for the pullets this spring <
and summer. It is batter to plant i
the beans in rows.
Also, in many farm flocks there is i
more than normal mortality at this <
season of the year where dirt floor
hoi houses are used and filth is al
lowed to collect Foiri typhoid and i
other diseases usually get' a start <
under such conditions as these, Par- -i

Save Clover and Vetch
Seed, Urges E. C. Blair
Farmers who have crimson clover
and vetch now growing have the op
portunity to benefit from the Euro
pean war; those who don't undoubt
edly will have to pay more for seed
of these two important winter cover
and green manure crops next fall.
That is the advice of E. C. Blair, Ex
tension agronomist of N. C. State
College, who explained that more
than half of the crimson clover and
vetch seed used in the United States
have been imported from - Europe,
and the war threatens to cut off the
supply.
We urgently recommend that far
mers with crimson clover and vetch
an their land this spring make ar
rangements to save seed from at
least a part of the crop," Blair de
clared. "Such farmers will have the
opportunity to sell clover and vetch
?sad at good prices next fall, and
they will be doing other fanners of
the State a good turn by providing
l source of supply."
Hie agronomist said that the larg
est yields of crimson clover seed are
obtained on soils of medium fertili
ty, where the crop does not grow
rary rank. "Therefore," he stated,
the more fertile areas should be
turned under at the usual time, and
the growth on the poorer lands should
pa left to ripen for seed."
Urn are several practical meth
ods of harvesting clover seed, Blair
said, one of which- is with a comb
(tripper, which is essentially a wood
la comb which is drawn, through the
nop after the heads are dead ripe,
ha comb is attached to a box into
vfaieh the seeds fall. The lespedase
aad pan also may be used with minor
?hangee in the lid. ^ " , ??jji

Education is a great asset but it is
not exclusively confined to the ac

Frankly, we know of no substitute

Merchants who provide credit for
their customers can expect to get the

Tou can put it down as a fact that
the British nation will not go in for
