AROUND THE FARMS

>' thin Sh»U Eggs: As ,bot
approaches the inrn
her of thin shell eggs usually
increases. Thin shells reach the
peak in hottest weather. There
may be something we can do
to increase shell strength dur
ing this period, says C. F. Par
rish, Extension Poultryman.
; According to research work
in Idaho, New Hampshire and
Ohio, increased consumption- of
laying shell increased shell
strength. All mash rations
should contain about 3% shell.
This would be 3 pounds of shell
in each 100 pounds of feed.
The analysis tag on the bag
will possibly ghow the percent
age of shell included, with this
information poultrymen can fig
ure how additional shell
should be added on top of ihe
mash each day when fed.
• In the case of feeding mash
a*d grain separately, the mash
ratio is usually about two-thirds
and the grain one-third. In this
instance abo tit one-third more
should fie added each day.
Ohio research workers found
that an additional 50 grams of
Vitamin C to a ton of feed in
creased egg shell strength. It
was aso found that when hous
es were kept as normally cool
gs possible during summer
months the egg shell strength
was increased and also laying
rate was increased. Plenty of
ventilation can do much toward
keeping houses cooler. Insula
tion'under metal roofs can add
considerably- to the coolness.
Possibly painting the roof with
aluminum paint may help to
keep the hpuse cooler. iH*
Another tiling to remember in
producing high quality eggs in
sumfer as well as year around
is to keepcollecting the eggs
several times each day and Irh
mediately place them in a cool
ing compartment where they
will cool as quickly as possible
and remain so until removed to
smrket. This may be accom
plished by building an egg stor
age pit, most of which will be
below the ground surface. High
quality eggs always pay good
dividends. . »

puts his maximum acreage in
the feed grain program he will
'have about 18 acres left to
grow corn on this year. If
this is a good corn year for his
farm he will make enough corn
on the 58 acres to feed his hogs.
If he doesn’t qiake enough com
on the 58 acres, then he will be
better off to take enough of
his feed grain program money
and buy the additional corn
, needed rather than to grow it
and put less acres in the Feed
Grain Program.
I will be glad to consult with
as many farmery as time will
permit and help them to deter
mine to what extent they might
want to participate in the Feed
Grain Program. Possibly most
farmers can easily figure this
lor themselves. If our help is
needed, please feel free to call
on us.
Cotton Variety Work: Two
cotton variety test demonstra
tions have been planned for
Chowan County this year. The
purpose of these is to strive for
maximum cotton yields and to
compare performance, of the dif
ferent new varieties.
With McCoy Spivey of Gli
den Community, we plan to use
7 new varieties developed by
the DeKalb Company. In this
demonstration we will have the
following DeKalb varieties: 108,
220, 108-1, 108-2, 108-3, 108-4,
and 108-5. With Edward Good
win and B. W. Evans on the
Turkey Neck Farm in Enter
prise Community, we will use
Rex, Auburn 56, Coker 137,
Coker 100A (WR), Dixie King,
Empire, DP & L Fox-4, and
DeKalb 108. Both of these
demonstrations will be located
on the road and varieties label
ed for observation.
Sheep And Wool Suggestions:
Don’t be in a hurry to. shear
sheep. At least two weeks of
continuous warm weather is
needed to warm up wool grease
so that clippers will not “gum”
up.
Water is the greatest enemy
of high quality wool. Keep it
dry just before, during and af
ter shearing.
A fleece should be spread out
on a clean surface with flesh
side down, fold one-third over,
\then the other third over that
and then beginning at the end,
roll the fleece as close as possi
ble and tie it with paper twine.
Then pack your fleeces in clean
cloth bags or clean washed two
bags. Edenton Feed & Livestock
