[•'. Par* sh, Kxtension poultryman ut State College for use by those persons who formerly raised a few enicks with liens. Artificial incubation has robbed the hen >f hutching In i eggs, and now thi -.nail brooder takes another of her jobs. "Of course," Parrish pointed out, "the brick, oil and electric m coders arc used by poultrymcil w-.th large flocks. But for the farmer who wanted to raise a small flock, the hen was usually used for brooding purposes. "Thousands of farm families have pledged to increase poultry production as a part of the Food lor Freedom campaign. The home made lamp brooder will solve their problem. The brooder holds from ■ >0 to (10 chicks, and from lot) to 200 chicks can easiliy be brooded per year withtbis equipment.” The brooder is construodin i n two parts: The bottom section houses the lamps; the top section accomodates the chicks. The tray that separates the two sections is covered with 2(1 to 28 guage tin. The tin side is placed downward, next to the flame of the lamp, and the top part of the tray is eov i red over with one inch or more of sharp, coarse, dry sand. The chimney of th lamp should be one to one and one half inches lie low the metal tray which divides the two sections. Parrish said that the brooder "is of simple construction, easy to operate, and is heated by one to three lamps, depending upon the severity of the weather. It should be operated in a protected ;>la at, such as under a wood or wagon shed."

January, February Best Months To Prune Shrubs There are two schools of thought on the question: When is the best time to prune shrubbery? James G. Weaver, floriculturist of N. C. State College, thinks the best season to prune flowering shrubs in North Carolina is prob ably during January and February This is contrary to the usual ad vice; which is to prune in trie spring after the flowers fade on spring flowering plants. Weaver says that pruning in January and February stimulates new growth ami increases vigor. Wounds caused by the cut Ileal ! more quickly, and this helps -o 1 keep the plant free from diseases. The floriculturist says that the 1 principal objection to winter prun ing is that wod is cut out that would flower in a few weeks. This | is not so serious, he said, if care , is taken. Only the old and less ' vigorous twigs ami branches j should be cut out. "Every gardener should under stand the reasons for pruning,” Weaver said. “The first reason is to renew the wood. All dead wood should be removed. Also, it is a good practice to remove the older I branches every year or two, so the young vigorous fshoots will j have more room for development. "The second reason is to in crease the profusion of bloom. [ Ily correct pruning you get more twigs and as a result, a corres | ponding increase in flowers. I “Third, to keep ornamental twigs attractive. Some plants are used for the color effect of their twigs in the winter, such as the red and yellow-stemmed dogwoods. The younger shoots always have the brightest color. “The fourth and fifth reasons,” the floriculturist concluded, ‘ are to make young shrubs bushy' and to offset the loss of roots at planting time. Pork Consumers Want Lean Meat Not Lard ! — " | Mr. and Mrs. Average Ameri | i-an want and insist upon small, | loan cuts of pork, says Prof. Earl I 11- Hostetler, animal husbandman ol N. C. State College. ‘They don’t i want lard, wiien they buy pork,” : he declared. | The desirable type of hog to produce now, as always, Proi. Hostetler said, is a fast growing, easy feeding, prolific type that will yield desirable cuts of pork at live weights from 200 to 240 pounds. To produce such a hog requires proper feeding, including adequate amounts of protein to build muscle and lean meat, and to aid growth. ‘‘Because swine are fed chiefly on grain, which tends to produce fat, particular care is needed to 1 provide sufficient protein of the right quality in their ration,” the State College leader advised. “Im portant as they are in hog rations, none of the cereal grains furnish protein of good quality. It is nec essary to use efficient protein supplements.” Prof. Hostetler pointed out that 1 North Carolina produced approxi mately 110,000 tons of cottonseed meal from the 1941 cotton crop. "In this material,” he said, “hog raisers have available a protein supplement of’ proved efficiency when used in combination with tankage or fish meal. "It is especially valuable to re duce costs of protein supplement used with grains, to produce firm _ Broken Watch Crystal Replaced FANCY CRYSTALS ._25c ROUND CRYSTALS _15c THE JEWEL BOX 9112 Roanoke Ave. Roanoke Rapids, N.

"Selection and use of a good protein supplement is usually the most important factor in swine feeding. Results from the N. C. Agricultural Experiment Station show that a mixture of animal and plant proteins makes an excellent supplement to corn for fatter ng hogs.”_ Seed Show At Greenville Will Be State-Wide Event Poor seed are like shells that fail to explode, says A. D. Stuart, Extension seed specialist of Nr. C State College. Neither will help win the war. “Furthermore,” hi declared, "it costs just as mud to manufacture a dud shell as it does a lives hell, and it costs just as much in fertilizer and labor u produce a poor crop with low quality seed as it does to product a good crop with good seed. Stuart says that farmers inter ested in better seed will have at opportunity to seed the very bes that North Carolina produces whet the annual meeting and seed ex position of the N. C. Crop lm. provement Association is held a Greenville, N. C., January 30 am 31. “This is a state wide event,’ he pointed out, “and farmers fron the mountains, as well as th( Peidmont, Coastal Plain and Tide water, are invited to attend and ti exhibit seed.” No entry fee is charged for ex hibits entered in any class. "IJ you have some corn, or lespedezt small grain, soybeans, cowpeas peanuts, cotton tobacco potatoes crimson clover or crotalaria seed ol which you are proud, send it a long,” the seedsman said. “The;: come to the show yourself and compare your seed with the othei I' its frlloWS,” | Exhibits should be mailed or i expressed to K.
