Cull Non-Layers,'
Urges Farm Agent
HeBa that don't pay their
board hare no "place In a laying
'flock, County Agent Paul Chop
|lin of the State College Exten
sion Service told Wilkes county
farmers this week.
He urged flock owners to cull
all early moulters _ and broody
hens a^ a means of Insuring the
most efficient egg production
and reducing feed costs.
Mr. Choplin explained that the
peak of the egg production sea
son is now past, and that broody
hens will consume as much feed
as producing hens. Moreover, he
added, early moulters are notor
iously poor egg producers, since
they take longer to moult than
those that Start late, and are
non-producers for longer periods
than late summer and early fall
moulters.

Meanwhile, in Atlanta, Harry
Wise, poultry marketing special
ist of the Production and Mar
keting Administration's Poultry
Branch, gave strong backing 'to
the local county agent's advice.
"It's just plain good business,"
Wise declared, "to stop keeping
the hens that aren't keeping you.
The markets are short oh good
fat hens, and prices are good.
All two-year old hens should be
culled and their places in the
farm flocks given to young
birds. It's an accepted fact that
pullets are more profitable lay
ers than hens. Now that hot wea
ther is here, extra care should be
taken to insure that eggs are ga
thered frequently, properly stor
ed, and marketed under the best
possible conditions. Better eggs
will mean "better prices."
Of the two-year-old hens,
County Agent Choplin said "such
birds are probably producing so
few eggs now that the weather
has turned hot that they are not
paying their feed bill." He advis
eB flock owners to look for birds
whose beaks and shanks have be
gun turning yellow. He also ad
vised producers to handle hens
at night while they are on the
roost, and to pick out the ones
pelvic bones are close together
and are not flexible.
Sixty-two conversions are re
ported in evangelistic services

annual session of the Southern

Baptists in the meeting thus not
only made plans for the denomi
nation, but paused in the host
city to win souls to Christ.
Miss Ines Wilson, the first

Woman's Christian Association
in the Republic of ^Iberia,, has
established a Social Center in
Monrovia, where girls and wom

classes in recreation, education,
and religous worship and study.
Outside of "Y" centers and those
of a few churches, there are no
social agencies for young or old,
male or female.
