1 V ' THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY. HERTFORD, N. ft, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1944 PICK TVO ' f S. , Good Management Gives Extra Eggs When pullet are put In the laying house, much depends on the, manage-' ment provided for the flock, .Poor management , generally means poor egg production, say ' the Extension poultry" specialists at State College. The causes of poor egg production may generally be traced to failure in six principal points in management: 1. Provide plenty of good, highly ab sorbent litter. 2. Clean and disin fect the laying house occasionally. 3. Provide proper equipment as to feed hoppers. 4 roost space, water founts and nests. 4. Allow at least 8 square feet of floor space per bird for the lighter breeds and 4 square feet for the heavy breeds. 5. Provide proper inlets and outlets for the proper movement of fresh air but avoid drafts. Do not allow the birds to catch colds. 6. Feed a bal anced ration in line with production. The specialists point out that the laying house should have been thor oughly cleaned and disinfected be fore the pullets were put into it. If this has not already been done, it should be given prompt attention now and all equipment should be scrubbed. About 35 to 40 feet of feed hopper space is needed for each -100 birds., About 6 to 9 inches of roost space is required for this number of birds and two three-gallon water founts. To , provide for the heavy laying season. the specialists suggest 20 nests per 100 birds. When good management is added to good birds and proper amounts of well balanced feed, the egg baskets fill up much quicker. L3 With Perquimans Boys In Service . Coltrane Pleads For Better Hay Pointing out that North Carolina farmers have failed by 175,900 tens to produce the amount of hay need ed in the State during the coming year, D. S. Coltrane, assistant to the Commissioner of Agriculture, has urged seed cleaners, county agents, and vocational agriculture teachers to assist farmers in obtaining better quality hay hay conforming with U. S. hay standards. He said that failure of producers to grow sufficient hay cost them around $6,159,300, figuring the de ficiency at $35 per ton. "We must not let this State be come the dumping ground for low quality hay," declared Coltrane.

I have been intending to write you for some tie, but have kept putting it off from time to time. I have been kind of busy all the time. . As you probably know, we left the States a little while after I last saw you. I had quite a trip. Some of the places and things I saw were almost unbelievable. I have really seen a large part of our Navy at one time or another. I never had any idea it was so large. J can tell you one thing, it is greater than any power on any of the seas, and I am sure there will never be a Pearl Harbor disaster again. I am on an Auxiliary Repair Ship as you will see by the return address. We have a particu lar job as our contribution to the ef fort and I assure you that we are holding up our end of it. Naturally, you'll never hear of any great part that repair ships play, but they are in there punching like the rest. My part is very insignificant, but I, like the others on here, am trying to do my part. I was in one invasion and it was my good fortune to see a mighty spectacle unfurled before my very eyes. The big boys, BBs and cruis ers, destroyers and escorts, trans ports and cargo ships and a host of smaller landing craft took part. Lay ing back were the flat-tops and the planes from them had complete su premacy of the air. Not a Jap- plane or ship was in sight. If you could have seen them pour tons and tons of high explosive shells Into the Jap installations it would have done your heart good. I stood on the bridge during the first four or five hours of the invasion and saw the first waves land on the shore. Reconnaisance planes from the cruisers were over head directing the shelling and the fighter and dive bomber planes were strafing and dive-bombing the shore batteries. Very little opposition was imminent at the beginning, but as the reports came over the radio from the beach we knew that the Marines were catching hell. They are really tough. The Marines cut another niche in their long list of fine ex amples of efficiency under fire. I am sure they are the finest bunch of fighting men in any man's military machine. We watched until we had to leave and begin our repairing on the smaller craft That is all we have done since then. I see by a clipping that Mary Thad sent me, that your football team is having a very successful sea son. That is fine. Well, IH dose. Give my regards to the people around there and let me take this opportunity to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year. May the next year bring peace to a tired and bloody world. Sincerely, W. E. DRAKE. THREE MASSES FRIDAY AND ONE SUNDAY AT ST.

A Lespedeza Seed Growers should save plenty of les- nedesa seed this fall because the popularity of this hay1 crop is in creasing in all sections of North Carolina and relatively large acre ages will be planted in the , spring, says Dr. Emerson Collins, in charge of Extension agronomy- at fctate col lege. ' "'v'v'' i'''-". Lespedeza is not only proving "an excellent hay crop but it is also be ing widely used as a temporary grac ing crop for both hogs and cattle. This year feed crops have been short on many farms and lespedesa has provided a backlog of grazing that has enabled many growers to pull through in good shape. Collins notes that the grazing of hogs on lespedeza, as shown by the demonstrations conducted by Ellis Vestal, Extension swine specialist, has enabled growers to produce some of the cheapest gains of any method of feeding. Only a small amount of corn was' used and a good mineral supplement was kept before the hogs at all times. , ' The same was true for demonstra tions with, hogs on soybeans. Both of these crops are now being widely used for temporary grazing and. in addition, provide more than one-half of the hay grown in North Carolina. With the shortage of labor, live stock men are turning more and more to grazing crops as one of their chief ' t J: I ; 1..J.A. mill continue to be one of the beat crops for this purpose, arccMing to Col lins.
