short leaf varieties. Some farmers
were interested in adopting proper
methods of cutting out the matured
trees that a permanent crop might
be maintained, at all times. It was
found that natural reproduction of
pines is ideal where fires are kept ont

I YELLOW CORN HAS
HIGHER FOOD VALUE
I ' I
Raleigh, N. C., May 5th,?Yellow
| corn, according to the investigators,
f has a higher food value than white
corn and at least one mountain citizen
is authority for the statement that a
bushel of yellow corn will make a
quart more whiskey than white corn.
"Yellow corn is grown almost exclusively
in the corn belt and white
corn in _ the cotton belt," says G. M.
* Garren of the agronomy department
r at State College. "There Appears to
be a prejudice against yellow corn in
1 .
this State, yet in the past, the farm1
e>rs have found that it had a slightly
8 higher feeding value than the white
oonn. W > see too that in some sec
tkms, the swine growers pay about
' two cents more per bushel for the
8 yallow corn as a feed for hogs.
' "A fellow mountain citizen told me
' once that a bushel of yellow corn
1 would make more whiskey than white.
7 I must take hla word for this; but,
' we find that the experiment stations
' have proven tl\p value of the yellow
corn as a feed. In one test, reported
} by the yisconsin Station, two dots
of young pigs averaging 65 pounds
in weight were fed on corn and taink'
age in a dry lot. No pasture was
' available for the test. Lot number
one was fed yellow corn and tankage.
' This lot gained .86 of a pound per
head daily and required 439.2 pounds
' of grain and 52.7 pounds of tankage
to produce 100 pounds of gain.
"Lot number two was fed white
i corn and tankage and gained only
r .64 of a pound per head daily and
i required 488.9 pounds of corn and 59.1
pounds of tankage to produce 100
pounds of gain. This shows that
. 49.2 pounds more of corn and 6.4
; pounds more of tankage were requir;
ed when the white corn was fed."
Mr. Garreu states that corn growi
ers who are in a position to do so ,
' might grow some yellow corn and
compare its relative feeding value on
the home farm.

\ are especially rich in protein food,

Entertain All Visitors
Outside Poultry House
"Entertain your visitors outside of
the poultry house," Is the word sent
to farmers by the Ohio State university.
Chlckenpox and other poultry diseases
are often spread by people traveling
from farm to farm, the university
poultrymen explain. And with
eggs at present prices, they add, It Is
wise to avoid all chance of letting
disease get a start In the flock. "Chlckenpox,
roup and canker are
appearing all over the state," the letter
to poultrymen continues. "W.e
know very , little about the control of
these troubles once a flock Is Infected,
but must rely on preventive meas
nres."
Among the preventive measures the
poultry specialists list these:
Sick birds should be marked and
excluded from the breeding pen. Pullets
should be culled throughout t|ae
growing season and the weaker birds
removed. Poultry houses must provide
ventilation In hot weather and
protection from draft and dampness
In cold weather. -.
Feed a complete ration, Including
minerals and vitamins and plenty of
green feed. Handle a few birds every
night to see whether they are In
good condition. Remove birds from
the flock when they show the first
symptoms of sickness, for one sick
bird may contaminate the whole flock
Health of Fowls
The best way to keep In touch with
the health of the birds and to detect
digestive disorders, etc.. at the
earliest possible moment. Is to make
a practice of Inspecting the droppings
boards every morning. Simple looseness
of the bowels. Indigestion due
to too rich aeration, liver troubles,
excess animal food, etc., can all be
detected- by the condition er the
droppings; and the general tendency
to Intestinal disorders thus shown
nhoultl receive Immediate attention.
Thirty-three pure bred Jersey cows
ind heifers were bought during
April by dairyman of Clay County to
be used as foundation stock.
Eleven fanners of Craven County
sold six cars of peanuts cooperatively
in Suffolk for $6,676.10. A seventh

Feed Hens Liberally
In a laying pullet feed will pass
through the crop, stomach, gizzard,
and five feet of Intestines In leas than
four hours. This fact shows the necessity
of feeding liberally late In The
evening and early In the morning
throughout the winter to shorten the
night as much as possible and Increase
production.
Poultry Facts
Gather eggs at least twice a day.
Jt ?
Have sufficient nests clean and
disinfected.
^ >
Hens ought to have a dust box te
help them keep free from vermin.
*
Birds that show signs of weakness
should be removed. Pale and shrunken
combs are good Indicators of weakness.
The birds need a constant supply
of 'oyster shell, grit, minerals and i
charcoal, readily accessible or mrfed
In the dry mash.
Egg production depends upon two
factors: (1) The Inborn capacity of
the hen for egg production, and (2)
the conditions to which the hea la
subjected.

One authority says that eccs from

and produce more vlcorous chicks.
Convenience for both hens and caretaker
