THEY WENT — THEY ENJOYED: Twenty-three women from vari ous parts of Halifax County spent last week in Raleigh attending the annual Farm and Home Week. It was a full and rich week for those women.

GETTING HIGH PRICED EGGS: Mr. C. F. Parrish, State College Poultry Extension, says that if you want the very best results yo. should house hens and pullets in separate houses. Put electric light-! on old hens to increase egg pro duction. Lights for pullets may also be used to advantage espee. ally by October or November. Three systems of righting are proving satisfactory morning lights, all night lights, and sem: all night lights. When morning lights are used, and the lights are turned on early enough in the morning to give the birds a It; hour day. For all night lights, two 20 or 30 watt bulbs are used in each 400 square feet of floor space. The same size bulb is used when the semi-all night lights ar turned on at bed time. Keep the hens and pullets laying by good housing, good feeding, plenty of water, green feed an 1 ceep litter on the floor. Litter must be deep in order to keep it dry. Add new Utter on top of the old litter.
