RUIT OF QUALITY PRODUCED BY THINNIG Raleigh. N.

For best results, Mr. Morrow states that thinnig should be done before the pits of seeds harden but after the heavy drop which usually occurs from four to six weeks after blossoming. No arbitrary rule can be given, but at the proper time, the peaches and apples will be about the size of a man's thumb. The proper spacing depends on the vigor of the tree, the fertility of the soU and other factors, but it is realized by most growers that a vigorous, stocky peach shoot from 12 to 18 inches long can bring to maturity 3 or 4 peaches much betI ter than a weak, spindling shoot of the lame length. Mr. Morrow states therefore that the peaches should be [ thined to 4 to 6 inches apart and the apples to one to a cluster. Sometimes, if the apple clusters are closer than 6 to 8 inches, it may be advisable to remove some clusters entirely. Teats made by the North Carolina Experiment Station show that a higher quality of fruit of good marketable quality is produced when the young fruits are properly thinned. MORE INTEREST NOW IN DAIRY FARMING Ra'eigh, N. C., April 26th,?Interest in dairy farming is steadily growing in North Carolina as shown by the report of John A.

These associations were located in Buncombe, Forsyth, Wake1 and Durham counties. There are now five active associations in the State. These comprise 108 herds and 2,722 cows. Some of the associations, notably the one Gaston and Mecklendurg counties, are buying feeds and mixing rations at home for the cows. During part of 1925, the Gaston-Mecklenburg Association bought cooperatively 34% tons of grain and 75 tons of hay at a saving of approximately $3,450. The better sire campaign carried on lastyear resulted in twelve county ageitts putting on intensive campaigns I and 250 Dure bred dairv bulls were placed, in 1924, only 49 such bulls were brought into^the State. A total of 221 cows were also placed in 1925. Mr. Arey states that the 16 creameries operating in the State made 1,677,000 pounds of butter last year and that about 7,650 farmers are furnishing cream to these plants. Nine of the creameries received aid from the College last year in standardizing their butter. Only four cheese factories operated during 1925, but these made 67,000 pounds of cheddar cheese?and the Brushy Fork factory made 2,743 pounds of Swiss cheese. Several of pure bred dairy cattle were fostered by the dairy extension office with 248 animals being sold. Some of these came from outside the State while others were both consigned and bought by breeders in North Carolina. i READ POLK COUNTY NEWS * nf PATNTIMnS :: Vi * X AAi. 1 M.

A study of the results which some of our hatcheries are obtaining with eggs from different flocks hatched In the same machine Indicate the great Importance of this factor. The hens, should have plenty of grain In addition to the regular laying mash. Five per cent of linseed oil meal may be pat In the mash to help the late molters in refeatherIng. Qreen feed Is particularly Important to breeders. Do not use lights the breeding stock.?O. C. Krutn, Poultry Extension Specialist Colorado Agricultural Education of Children and Building of Road* Twe of the big items in public expense are the education of the children and the building of good roads. Does anybody seriously propose to stop in any degree financing school privileges and opportunities or halt i ! faig the good roads program? The cost of chewing gum, cigarettes and cosmetics la greater than the combined coat of the public and private schools, colleges and universities, and lifting the highways of the nation out of the mud. Oood roads are big dividend i payers, and the education of the chll- i dren much more necessary and profit- i able. There are plenty of places te economize without throwing the monkey wrench of disaster into the schoolhouses or the road machinery.?8t Cloud Journal-Press. All Good Thoroughfares Well Worth the Money Middle-aged men, remember when there was a bicycle club In nearly every enterprising city, and road scrapera were sent out once a week, to scrape a path along one side of the dirt highways smooth enough for cyclists to ride on In comfort, until It rained again. There were no paved roads. There were few macadam roads. More than 11,000,000,000 are being spent In building roads through the country this year. More will be spent next year. The automobile club, replacing the bicycle club, keeps plugging for that, with help from motortist and even the pedestrians?if there are really any inch persona left. Everybody who knows anything Knows the Importance of good roads sow. Yet there Is always a question how far to go. Many good and Intel Ugent men hesitate, again and again, to pay the money demanded for a street or highway Improvement, In the belief that Individuals or communities "cannot afford It" It has beevi proved over and ovei again that what cannot be afforded Is bad roads. For good roads make transportation, and transportation j makes business and property value. Every good thoroughfare, wisely planned and well built pays for Itself many times. Convicts Struggle for Lead in Road Building Prisoners from California's two state Institutions have entered a race i believed to be unique In the annals of i road-building history. Under the dl i reetlon of the California state highway commission, the convict camp i frem San Quentln Is pitted against | the camp from Folsom prison In a | competition te be first to complete state roads Into Yoaemlte National park. San Quentln camp la seeking to fin Mi the last seven miles of new state highway leading Into Tosemlte In Merced canyon. The Folaom gang 1* new completing grading of eight miles of state highway In the Kern river canyon. The rival camps present the unique spectacle of state prisoners enthusiastically vying with each other to unlock the world famous Tosemlte valley to motorists by a water-level highway that. It Is believed, can be traversed at all seasons of the year. Convict labor on highways has been In successful operation In California fer some years. Study of Revolution* The book of Enoch Is an apocryphal hook, first mentioned In the Epistle of Jnde 14-16 and quoted by Clement of Alexandria, Origan and Tertulllan. It purports to be a series of revelations of God made to Enoch and gives a his tory of the kingdom of God and the secret origin of laws of nature. It was much quoted In Jewish and Christian writings during the first five centuries after Christ; but disappeared with the exception of a few fragments about 800 A. D. The book furnishes Information concerning Jewish .theology J I >k. AM Ipecoituou uutiMf me ?.cuiuit?D Immediately preceding the Christian era.?Kansae City Star.

They do thla In Innumerable ways, and many species appear to exhibit greater Intelligence and foresight than man la preparing for the winter sea THURSDAY APRIL 29, 1926 FOWIIKY mis LIGHT AND FRESH AIR FOR POULTRY / Hens are on a strike. Colds, roup and frozen combs, the greatest food bin robbers and profit side-trackers of the poultrymen are chiefly re sponsible, say Kansas State Agricultural college poultrymen. Comfort for the flock means dryness more than. It means warmth. The hen Is a high speed motor and In breathing throws off a vast amount of moisture. _ ^ The solution Is to leave at least one third of the south side open, with no glass or glass substitute present to Interfere with the free passage of fresh air or the direct sun rays, the college poultrymen advise. "Poultry must have an abundance of fresh air and light One of the simplest and least expensive methods of securing It Is by means of the open-front principle," says W. 0. v Ward, the college extension architect. "Openings should be provided In the upper part of the south wall, with an area equal to one-tenth of the floor space. If the hotfse Is reasonably deep uo glass will be needed In these openings but muslin frames should be provided to protect the flock from draft during severe storms. In houses already built with many windows^ the upper sash should be replaced with muslin frames which should remain open most of the time. "In buildings Inadequately lighted, the present small windows may be removed and the openings enlarged. Poultry will thrive In relatively low temperatures providing they are dry and free from drafts."'?1 The poultry house also must have ample space to give best results, Ward says. From three to four square feet of floor area and from seven te ten lhches of roosts should be provided for each hen, the larger figures applying to the heavier breeds. Too many poultry houses are overcrowded, and In many cases It will be found profitable to decrease the flock size, if It Is not possible to Increase housing facilities. Good Stock Kept Warm Essential in Brooding Chicks from st/>ck of good quality, and a warm hover are two essentials of successful brooding. In the opinion of specialists at the New Jersey State college poultry department. High feed prices, they contend, can be offset only by heavy layers, and such birds van be produced only from vlg orous chicks. Experienced poultrymen maintain a hover temperature of 95 to 100 degrees. At this temperature the chicks will arrange themselves around the edge of the hover perhaps not evenly, but at least In a few groups, and when so located one can feel reasonably sure that his flock is being properly heated. As the birds become older they can move away from the heat If the.v so desire If the heat Is removed from them, however, they will crowd in close to the stove or In the corner In an ef- I fort to get warm. In addition to plenty of heat, have i temporary wire fence, of threefourths-inch mesh and eighteen Inches high, stretched around the chicks for the first few days. After the third day, gradually open out this fence until the chicks have the run of the hniuw When entirely oDened. how ever, the fence should still be rounded at the corners and should be three or four Inches from the sides of the house. In case the chicks have a tendency to crowd to one side they will not be crowding against a solid partition. There will be an air space back of the Sock, so that no serious results should follow. Profit and Loss Calculate the profit or loss on the past year's work with poultry. Outline the program for next year. Make a number of good resolutions to Improve the weak pcknts In the past year's program. Poultry will pay good dividends on the Investment In proportion to the careful planning and wise management used In caring for It. Poultry Hints^ Firm, smooth eggshells are made with plenty af oyster shell and grit. This Is a good time to repair the hen house and provide comfortable quarters for the flock. The only way to give them a good start, and to Insure a heavy lay. Is to give them the benefits of a clean house, free t">ra insects, pests, and free from disease. \ * * * - i Cleanliness la one of the most Important problems confronting poultry flock owners. Straw costs money in some parts of the conntry, hat bear In mind the distinction between a ben bouse and > dairy barn. Clean eggs, packed In bright, new case will bring top prices. A shori fattening period pays on all for-u to be marketed. A separate pen with insist mashes and grain before them at all times means quick fattanlug.
