Lower Egg Production Expected Hue Summer Egg production in North Carolina will be below normal this summer, and unless good care is given the flocks, the eggs will be of inferior quality. To make the most of high summer prices, said. Roy S. Dearstyne, head iff thfe poultry department at State College, poultrymen will need to take special pains with their flecks and eggs. The first step, he said, is to pro duce infertile eggs, as they are bet ter Tor immediate consumption and they also will keep in good condition for a longer period than fertile eggs. Keep the nests clean, he added, so the eggs will not have to be cleaned before marketing. Eggs not to be consumed immediately should not be washed, as washing removes from the shells a protective substance that is needed to prevent rapid deteriora tion. , V In hot weather, eggs should be collected several times a day and stored immediately in a cool, moist place where there is plenty of venti lation. A spring house or cellar is an ideal place. * Air in the storage room should be free from strong odors, as eggs read ily absorb such odors from the at mosphere. Candle eggs, especially in sum mer, to keep inferior ones off the market. Good prices can be com manded only by poultrymen who maintain a reputation for selling good eggs. Deliveries should be made more frequently in summer than in win ter, as this is necessary to supply the trade with stripy fresh eggs. To bring high prices, eggs must look good. Customers demanding high quality eggs will not pay top prices for small, dirty, or cracked eggs, Dearstyne warned. Specialists To Tell Os Summer Practices Now that rains have broken Jjiught conditions over a large por >tion of the State, farmers are re doubling their efforts to produce a crop this year. Realizing this, extension special ists who are to appear on the Caro lina Farm Features radio program this week will place particular em phasis on the proper procedures to be following to secure the largest possible yields. Drought seriously affected most crops and before rams fell, the agricultural situation look ed gloomy. Tobacco and cotton, the two larg ed cash crops in North Carolina, prpfthly suffered the greatest set backs. Farmers, now far behind in their cultivation of these two crops, an having to work rapidly to pro duce even a fair-sized crop. According to specialists of the Ex tension Service, crop conditions in the Coastal Plain section look much Jitter than those in the Piedmont where a smaller amount of rain has The rains have also brought out green feeds, which will help livestock ggi poultry raisers. f ROCKY HOCK j ijtukfr and Mrs. Cameron Boyce, of IgSl were dtoeAste’SumS^ FACTS YOU NEVER KNEW!!/ | no/mees <s>p ffl pfs Hew-‘PiECBS'- , rv^7/OT J Tfiev ABC 1 )M U COMMIXHS it H WEU.-DWHSSEP, Mr. and Mrs. R.

If the remainder of the growing season is warm and damp, said C. H. Brannon, extension entomologist at State College, boll weevils will attack the cotton in great numbers. In view of the losses caus ed by dry weather, he continued, North Carolina farmers can ill afford to lose any more of their crop. The best time to get ready for fighting weevils is before they attack the cotton plants, Brannon stated. Get the dusting machines ready, or buy new ones if necessary. Lay in a supply of calcium arsenate. Weevils can be controlled, he point ed out, if dusting is started in time, and kept up regularly throughout the growing season. He suggested that farmers should start examining the plants as soon as the squares begin to form. Even if no weevils are found, repeat the examination at least once a week as a measure of precaution. Don’t bother with squares that have fallen on the ground, he added, as they will not indicate the degree of infestation, if any, on the plants at the time the examination is made- As soon as ten per cent of the squares -are found to be infested, start dusting with calcium arsenate and repeat as often as necessry. Although rotenone is good for con trolling Mexican bean beetles and certain other insects, Brannon stat ed it will not keep boll weevils out of cotton. Charcoal it recommended aa an absorber of gases in the farm milk room.
