Of Interest to Farmers
Diet Often Cause Of
Thin Shelled Eggs
The production of thin shelled eggs
during the summer can not be cor
rected by causing hens to consume
more oyster shell or some other form
of lime, says Roy S. Dearstyne, head
of the poultry department at N. C.
State College.
He points out that, ii most cases,
the birds have been laying for a long
period of time and have exhausted
their body reserves. Thin shelled
eggs may usually be regarded as an
index that the bird is about to com
plete her laying period and this fact
should be valuable as a culling guide.
"If at any season of the year, the
mineral content of the diet is off bal
ance or if an adequate quantity of vi
tamin D is not taken into he animal
body, thin shelled eggs may result.
In this case, a high percentage of the
eggs laid will have thin shells and the
reason for this may be truthfully as
cribed to the diet," Dearstyne said.
O
Plans Available For
Potato Houses
State College has prepared plans
for a temporary storage unit which
will care for 80 to 200 bushels of
sweet potatoes and in recent weeks
growers have requested more than
one thousand copies of this plan.
The department announces that it
can also supply plans for storage hou
ses with a capacity of from 500 to 15,
000 bushels. It urges that growers
plan to make use of tobacco barns,
vacant store buildings, and other pla
ces which may be converted into
sweet potato storage plants.
The officials of the Extension Ser
vice say that the storage of sweet po
tatoes is a serious matter this year
and they urge growers to report their
storage problems to the Agricultural
Engineering Department at State Col
lege while there is yet time to plan
for the coming season
O
Grow Proteins
For Your Hogs
Growers who are producing hog
meat for home use can easily supply
a large percentage of the required
protein in the hog diet from green for
age crops like alfalfa, the clovers, les
pedeza, soybeans and cowpeas, says
F. H. Smith, animal nutrition chem
ist at State College.
He points out that pigs weighing
less than 100 pounds require more
protein than hogs weighing over this
amount. Feeding records show that
corn does not supply sufficient quan
tity or quality of protein to satisfy
the needs of either young or old pigs.
Pigs grown in a dry lot should also
receive a protein supplement to com
plete the ration.
Unless proteins are furnished, the
grower is handicapped in getting the
most meat at the lowest cost, says
Smith.
The overall feed picture for the
coming year shows that total feed
supplies are not sufficient to support
the present animal population and
that there will probably have to be a
reduction in the number of hogs
which are eing produced. This makes
it all the more necessary to produce
all of the home grown feeds possible.

Answers Timely
Farm Questions
Q. I have not had any experience
in growing poultry commercially.
Would you advise me to enter the field
at this time?
A. No Profit margins will be
much narrower than at present and
only low cost producers will be able to
make any money.
Q. Ca nl grow alfalfa in the Coas
tal Plain?
A. If you have fertile, moderately
heavy, and well drained land, you can
make a success of alfalfa, if you will
handle it properly, says Dr. E. R. Col
lins. He advises: lime your land;
inoculate your seed; prepare a good
seed bed; use borax in addition to the
proper amount of fertilizer and stable
manure; contact your county agent
for full information on growing alfal
fa in your section. It is not a poor
land crop. When properly grown, it
furnishes the largest yield of high
quality hay that can be grown in
North Carolina.
Q. How can I best increase my
yields of small grains?
A. Two most important points in
growing small grains are proper fer
tilization and getting in the crop at
the right time. Many growers wait
until spring to fertilize, using some
nitrogen for quick growth, but the
agronomists advise the use of a com
plete fertilizer at planting time, es
pecially if the crop is to be grazed.
Other growers delay planting until
late in the season and this factor cau
ses lowered yields in most cases.
O
SMALL GRAINS
North Carolina growers will find
that an increased acreage of small
grains will help off set the existing
feed shortage.
O
SCREWW'ORM
Stockmen are warned to be on the
watch for screwworm flies since sev
eral outbreaks occured in the South
east during July.
O
PEAXl'TS
It is reported that large increases
in the production of peanut butter and
peanut oil are needed to meet war
time requirements.
O
FEED SHORTAGE
The existing feed shortage will re
quire that livestock numbers be re
duced in line with feed supplies. It
is expected that the cut will come in
hogs and chickens for broilers.
O
FATS AND OILS
It is estimated that there will be
about 5 pounds less fats and oils per
person this year than last.
O
POILTRY
Poultry and egg profits will proba
bly narrow down because of increas
ing feed costs and practically stable
prices for poultry products, says Prof.
Roy S. Dearstyne of State College.
O
EGGS
The most practical method of in
creasing egg production per hen is
through the use of superior cockerels,
reports Dr. C. H. Bostian of State College.
Hint For Homemakers
By Ruth Current.
It's a good idea to preserve some of
your grapes for winter use. You can
make them into flavorable grape
juice, tart grape jelly, spicy grape
butter, or rich grape jam. If you
want directions for making any of
these good things with grapes, write
Mrs. Mary Lee McAllister, State Col
lege, Raleigh.
O
MEAT
According to County Agent P. H.
Jameson, meat-market men in Pas
quotank County report that they are
"fed up on the amount of red tape"
required to stay in business.
O
GARDENS
There will be a new Victory Gar
den fertilizer next year, a 5-10-5 re
placing the 3-8-7 used this year, re
ports Dr. E. R. Collins of State Col
lege. O
SWEET POTATOES
Small growers, producing from 80
to 200 bushels of sweet potatoes,
should write the Agricultural Engi
neering Department, State College,
Raleigh, for blueprints on a tempora
ry storage unit.
O
COTTON
The WFA has asked the support of
growers, ginners and the farm organ
izations in a program to improve the
grade of the 1943 cotton crop through
better picking and ginning practices.

O
Boll Weevils Found
Increasing in State
Average boll weevil infestation for
North Carolina jumped to 21.5 per
cent last week because weather con
ditions favored the development of
the pest, reports J. Myron Maxwell,
in charge of Entomology Extension at
State College.
. The highest average infestations
were found in Bertie, Hoke, Lenoir,
Halifax Scotland and Edgecombe
count . e. ; ccording to the report. One
field snowed 98 per cent infestation
and the crop practically destroyed by
the boll weevil.
O
SWEET POTATOES
The exceptionally large sweet po
tato crop in prospect calls for increas
ed facilities for properly grading, cur
ing and storing the crop to prevent a
market glut and food losses.
