The annual short course and conference of the home and farm demonstration agents to be held at State College during the week of December 6 will be of unusual importance ;his year, according to Dean I. 0. Schaub, of the School of Agriculture. The meeting will face some of the most important problems re cently arising in the agricultural progress of North Carolina and it is planned that a definite program of work will be adopted which all extension workers will tollow next year. The farm agents now employed in 77 counties of the State will gather on Monday morning, December 6. They will begin immediately ,to organize their course of study and to plan a program for such geneal discus sions of their work as they may wish to take up. The home agents, employed in 50 counties, will arrive a few days earlier and will begin their class room activi ties on December first. The con ference will close on December 11. Dean Schaub states that a clear cut program will be followed dur ing the entire time the agents are at the College. Many of the general meetings at which invit ed speakers will appear are to be held at night so as to conserve time. Dean Schaub has invited Dr. H. C. Ramsower of the Ohio State University to give a lecture on qualities of leadership in agri cultural workers. Two or three of the leading thinkers of the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington have also been invited to appear before the group. The program as now arranged calls for one two-hour joint con ference each day while the agents are at college. At this period, the agents will discuss those mat ters of interest to both the men and women. Some of the lectures of the specialists will also be de livered at this period. One of the greatest problems before the meeting will be the adoption of a program of work next year. Big Apple Crop to Boost U. S. Health America should have its health iest year in 1927, if the old adage about apples and health still holds, according to the Sears-Roe buck Agricultural Foundation. The estimated apple crop for this year is more than 234,000,000 bushels, which is the largest crop since 1914 and the third largest in the history of the United States. Because the 1926 production is fully one-third larger than last year, apple prices have dropped to the lowest point in years and give promise of remaining at a low level throughout the season. Practically all of the increased production of the commercial ap ple crop this year was made in the East, the principal apple orchard bection of the country, according to the Foundation. Here favor able conditions prevailed through out the growing season, although some sections reported the crop as maturing later than usual. The crop in the Northwest, the • only other important commercial apple section in the country, how ever, suffered severely fp m freez ing in late September with the re sult'that yields were materially reduced. The. export trade is likely to af fect the apple market to some ex tent. While increased cousump in England, one of the big con sumers of American apples, is not expected this year because of the continued unemployment which is keeping the buying power of country low, (Germany, enother of ilk* biggest consumers, is taking ■noee American apples than the -•ear before. Improvements in the purchasing power of the Ger man people and reduced apple -crops in European countries which compete with the United States in the German apple market are .given as the reasons for this year's increase in the American .apple trade with that couptry. Tom Tarheel says the main -reason why his children are so ifcealthy is because they get all -the milk and batter they need. Poultry Adds Income • r > To Johnston Farm A flock of poultry on the farm of T. W. Ives of Johnston county has more than made up for the low price of cotton and has re turned a net cash income of $272- .01 in addition to S3OO worth, of poultry left on the place. Mr. Ives began the year on January first with 53 hens which he carried until May 7 when ihe flock was reduced to 43 hens making au average of 48 hens for the year. From this flock lie hatched out 384 chicks and raised 330. His financial account shows that he sold 223 chickens for $210.04; he sold 429* dozen eggs for $182.35; he used 172.6 dozen eggs at home valued at '$101.90; he used 37 chickens at home val ued at $30.27 and lias reserved 11 more chickens for home use at a value of $10.20. This is a total income of $534.76 from the flock. His total expenses for feed and added equipment was $262.75 leaving a net profit for this year of $272.01. But this is not all. In his re port to Miss Minnie Lee Garrison, home ;demonstration agent, Mr. Ives states that he now has 108 hens with which to begin the new season ami these fire laying high priced eggs at this time. These 108 hens aro valued at $270 and six roosters selected for breeding are valued at $30.00 which is a total of 8300 worth of well select ed stock. The income from the flock paid for feeding and raising this stock in addition to giving the net income. Mi'js Garrison states that Mr. Ives in one of the best small far mers of Johnston county. He is owner of Cloverdale Farm which makes a speciality of purebred Hampshire hogs, good seed and Mexican Big 1101 l Cotton. Mrs. Ives is his partner in the poultry venture and the income from the flock this year has aided the family in keeping on a cash r bapis for incidental expenses and has provided high quality food products for the family during the year. A well kept lawn begins first with plantings made in the fall. It's too late for farmers to think of holdiug cotton after it has pis sed from their hands. B. D. Nelme of Anstm County plants ten acres to sorghum cane and sells his syrup in gallon cans at one dollar per gallon. Eggs from blood-tested poultry flocks are in good demand at hatcheries which specialize in sel ling*high grade baby chicks.
