Tips Offered On Marketing: Hot weather culling presents a real marketing challenge if a farmer is to get the best possible Returns from hens taken out of j his laying flock, Harry Wise of| Atlanta, marketing specialist of • the Production and Marketing Administration's Poultry Branch, said .this week. Wise pointed out that shrink age, actual death losses, and suffering of the birds may result unless extra effort and extra thought are applied to mid-sum mer marketing of hens. He of fered six tips that should aid the farmer in getting the best possible price for his birds at market. ' , First, he advised, make cer tain that the birds have access to plenty of clean, fresh water while holding just before mar keting. Second, always market live poultry in clean coops, and do not overcrowd. Third, provide plenty of venti lation. Good ventilation Is im portant at all times, but it is doubly Important in hot weather. Be sure your poultry has plenty of fresh air to breathe when you take it to market. Load poultry coops on the truck In a manner that will be sure to provide a constant flow of fresh air through each coop, and do not permit the loaded truck to stand in the sun for long per iods. Fourth, never use sacks or bags of any description in which to market live poultry. Fifth, do not tie,birds together by the legs. And Sixth, market only those birds of good appearance, and bring them to market according to .quality. Do not mix good quality birds with those of poor quality. Make separate lots of them, insofar as possible, and let each lot sell on its own merit Never market diseased bird's o • any that you would not be will ing to eat on your own table ' Short-Term Debt | Now 4.9 Billion 1 ( The short-term "Indebtedness of farmers Is Bow much larger than at any other time since the end of the war, according to i Charles E. Clark, extension farm management specialist at State College. The total on January 1 of this year was 4.9 billion dollars, Clark said, as compared with 3.1 billion a year earlier and 2.8 bil lion on January 1, 1946. The figures are based on a re cent report by the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. Short-term loans Include those obtained from banks, production credit associations, Farmers Home Ad ministration, merchants, finance companies, and individuals. They do not include loans made or guaranteed by Commodity Credit Corporation. There are several reasons for the 90 per cent increase shown in the period 1948-49, Clark said. The number of farmers us ing credit apparently has increas ed considerably. Many veterans and others who started or /re sumed farming after the war have had to borrow much of their working capital. Prices of equipment and sup piles have increased, and wage rates have gone up. There are more abundant supplies of farni machinery, automobiles, house hold appliances, and other goods. Favorable prices for farm pro ducts, high production, and am ple loan funds have encouraged liberal use of credit. However, the specialist said, the financial condition of agri culture as a whole is sound. Cash, bank deposits, and savings bonds are at a record level of about 20 billion dollars. The farm-mortgage debt of 6.1 bil- • lion Is well below prewar. With the heavy credit carried by farmers, Clark said, a general decline in net incomes could cre ate a widespread need for re financing. Farmers who have no basis for long-term credit would be wise to reduce short term debts in line with prospec tive earnings, he added. o State Producing More Hybrid Seed A record-breaking hybrid seed corn crop of 4,935 acres will be produced in .North Carolina this year, according to Dr. R. P. Moore, director in charge of the Crop Improvement Association at State College. This total is more than one fourth larger than the previous record crop of 3,899 acres pro duced in 1948, Dr. Moore said. The agronomist said the acre age of hybrid corn grown for seed has increased steadily in the State during the past six years. The total in 1944 was 67.2 acres; in 1945, 614 acres; 1946, 1,685 acres; 1947, 2,286 acres. N. C. 27 is by far the leading variety in the 1949 production, with 3,541 acres devoted to this hybrid. Dixie 17 is second with 937 acres, and N. C. 1032 third with 213 acres. Other varieties include U. S. 28<2, 96 acres; N. C. 26 and N. C. T20, 52 acres each; Tenn. 10, 33 acres; W. Va. 1163, 10 acres; and N. C. T23, 0.5 acre. o ■ CARD OF THANKS We use this means to thank friends and neighbors for their kindness, sympathy and flowers during the illness and funeral Of our mother, Mrs. J. M. Gaith er.
