Poultry Flock Needs Special Care In June * The period whee the poultry flock wdl either return a good proft, or be a drain on the family finances is just ahead, says C F. Parriah, puuHbJ Extension specialist of N. C. State College. Eggs wfll be scarce In Jane, as hot weather cola paodMtwn id th average flock, but the wise poultry raiser can keep bis flock's production up and profit from higher , egg prices, Parriah stated. "As summer heat during the long June days becomes intense, the flock it apt to drop off sharply in feed consumption,'* the specialist said. "At the first signs of a slump in food consumption, and the resultant de cline in egg production, it is advis able to start back feeding a wet mash at noon, made up with cool water or cool stui milk. \ "This practice, along with cloee culling, of broody bene wiU help a great deal in holding a high egg pro duction during hot weather. Aa soon as th4 comb of a hen loses its brij$i red color and begins to shrink, or or when she shows signs af begin ning to molt, that is the time to put that bird on the market." Parrish also suggests that the windows and ventilators in the back of the laying house be opened to make the poultry quarters cooler. It is also important, he says, to prevent lice infestation at this season of the year. v-'fir "Check on some of the birds oc casionally for lice infestation and tae&t the birds or the roost poles for lice, if they are found-Soak the roost poles and roost pole supports about once a month with used motor oil to hold down red mite infesta tion," he recommends. Finally, Parriah said that infertile eggs should be produced in the sum mer, because they keep better. To do this, a flock owner should dispose of, or pen the male birds. STRANGLES IN CAR New York.?While playing in he family car parked outside his hotne, Jerome Berg, 3, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Berg, of Corona, Queens, was strangled to death. With his head out of one of the windows, the child apparently accidentally put one of his feet on the handle which op erates the window, causing the glass to move up, forming a vice which caught his neck. He was dead when found. >? % Vj- lv ?f ?- I.uf? ? -.' -r-^u. ...??_. ? John A. Arey, Extension dairy specialiat of N. C State College, .< &. and sitege. -fa the first place," he J saja, -the dairy cow is by natore ? 1 roughage-consuming animal; and in the the second place, economical milk 1 production is dependent on asuffi- ' ciency of home-grown roughage." ' The specialist recommends at least ' oH^-hadf acrtf of good pasturefor each cow in the summer months; -and at least three tons of silage and two, tone of hay per cow for wihte$ feeding. Legume hag and corn ail" age are beet, but Sudan grass haw sorghum ntege may be $uhsttaite<? However, Arey says that corn to be used for silage must he planted within the next week if sojiougi damage from corn ear-worms is to j be avoided; Sorghum can be sdfely; planted, a little later in June. 6ood land will produce 8 to 10 tons of silage per acre. Sudan grass has two purposes: It can be cut for hay, and it is a valu able supplement to permanent pas ture grasses which usually get short* and tough around the middle of July. Arey says that Sudan grass or Pearl millet seeded broadcast in a well prepared soil at the rate of 26 to 30 pounds per acre will give splendid temporary grazing within six to eight weeks after seeding. Therefore^ if it is seeded now, it will be ready when the permanent pastures dry up in hot weather. A small trench sik> can be dug at little cost Directions for cons true tins a silo are contained in Extension Circular No. 201, whieh is available free upon request to the Agricultural Editor, N. C. State College, Raleigh. In conclusion Arey state: "North Carolina cow testing records show feed cost of milk production on good pasture to be only about one-half that of winter production when the cows are fbd in the barn."

Jm i 'Use of the cold frame for the pro tection of early and late vegetable*,' (rhen fwst prevents growing the tender plants without protection, is s common practice in many countries, but H. R. Niswonger, Extension hor ticulturist of StateCollege, says the frame garden is also* valuable in pro tecting vegetables from the hot etth~ mer sun and in the central and east ern sections. "A frame garden cah be construct ed iVom scrap lumber, planks, slabs from saw mills, or similar material," the specialist advised, "the sides of the garden should be of boards about one foot wide, nod the most conveni ent sine of a frame garden is 5 feet yid and 29 to 35 feet long. More then one garden can be built if more space it needd. "Stripe are nailed across the frame every four or six feat to support the sides and hold up a cover of brush or slate to be used when necessary for partial shade and to prevent dam age of early fall frosts. The soil in the ftoune should be fertilised with manure, or with 5-7-5 fertilizer. Spade up the soil area to a depth of 8 to 10 inches." -1 Niswonger also stressed the im portance of having a convenient wat er supply so that the beds can re ceive moisture they will be robbed of by the nature of their construc tion. He says that radishes, lettuce, beets, mustard, spinach, carrots, Swiss chard, bush beans, and English peas are some of the vegetables that can be grown in a frame garden. "The rows of vegetables in the frames should be 12 inches apart for small growing plants, but greater spacing between rows will be need ed for English peas and beans," the horticulturist stated. Forester Urges Early Orders for Seedlings Daring the poet planting season, 244 farmers in 69 counties ordered forest tree seedlings from the State nurseries, but were unable to obtain them because of a depleted supply. So R. W. Graeber, Extension forest er of N. C. College who handles ord ers placed through county farm agents, says that requests for tree seedlings from the* State nurseries, but were unable to obtain them be cause of a depleted supply. So R. W. 'Graeber, Extension forester of N. C. State CbUege who - handles orders placed through county farm agents says that requests for tree seedlings for th 1940-^1 planting season should be made eariy. "The nurseries have planted in creased amounts of seed. The sup ply will be greater; but so will the demand.

' t Red Clever Adapted * To Eastern Section J i.1':, i An old-time forage crop, red clov- { er^ may soon find favor with Eastern ^ North Carolina farmers, says E. C. . Blair, agronowristaf the N. C. State t College Extension Service!. ( Although a standard crop in the j mountain counties, red clover was 1 fought to be unadapted to the part of the State fast of Raleigh. How- , ever, J. B. Patrick of Beaufort Coun- [) ty has exploded that belief. In the faU of 1088, Mr. Patrick ? prepared a seed bed on one acre of ' good and and applied lime and fer tilizer according to the directions of 'j Farm Agent W. L. McGahey. Then he sowed a mixture of. red clover and oats. This mixture produced a good crop of hay in June, 1989 Although that was the last of the oats, the red clover lived on and made another crop in August. Blair said Mr Patrick allowed this ^ crop to ripen before he harvested it Before feeding the hay to livestock, his used a pitchfork to beat out the ' seed. Through this method, he ob tained enough seed to sow eight acres in the fall of last year. Meanwhile, the original acre of red clover lived on, and in March of this year it was topdressed with stable manure.' During the middle of May, Mr. Patrick cut two tons of excellent hay from this acre. Since removing the hay, he has topdressed the field again, this time using hog lot manure.' He-expects to get more I cuttings of hay from the Held this year. "According to this experience," Blair stated, "red clover can be made a good sideline hay and grazing crop in Eastern North Carolina. It re quires a fertile soil, which must also be fairly heavy but well-drained. Lime in most cases and aways liber al applications of phosphate and potash are required." Poultry Management ImjKirtant in Summer i The health and egg production of i the poultry flock next fall will be 1 in proportion to the care given the pullets this summer, according to C. ? P. Parrish, poultryman of the N. C. - State College Extension Service. i One of the first "musts" in the , growers' program should be the pro > viding of clean ground not used by k poultry for at least two years to > range the pallets. Then, too, Parrish pointed out, an open air summer range shelter k should be located in a corn1 or soy ? bean field, orchard, lespedeza pas ? ture, or some other location where - ample green feed and shade are i available. : An . ample supply of tender green > feed will cut the feed bill greatly, as , well as result in a more healthy flock. Soybeans planted in rows or 1 in corn make an ideal shade and r source of green feed during hot dry 1 weather. It 1b also important that 1. the pallets have plenty of fresh - water supplied in a cool, shady place at aH times. r At least once a day, in the late af l ternoon, the pullets sljpuld be fed lib - orally -on- whole yellow corn and l? whole oats, the State College speci - alist said. Also the birds need a t high quality growing or developing > mash. Many of the more successful i. poultrynaen keep oats and whole 1 yelkrw. 091m in hoppers before the pullets as vpeU as a hopper of mash. - "Of course," Parrish stated) "lib r end feeding of whole oats, corn, and b green feed/will retard sexual maturi - ty of -the pallets to a certain degree, bat this is to the advantage of the poultryman since the birds will have more time to become better de veloped. This will mean larger eggs and more vitality." ? .
