KAUPP, OF RALEIGH, TALKS TO POULTRYMEN i ■ i 1 Rutherford County Poultry As sociation Members Hear State College Poultry i Expert Saturday night at the Kiwanis Hall at Forest City, Rutherford county poultrymen were very fortunate in ; hearing Dr. B. F. Kaupp, head of the poultry department at State College, and Mr. Brownell, of the Farmers Federation. Dr. Kaupp stressed the importance of proper feeding and sanitation. Chickens on range can pick up all the requirements for a proper food, but where chickens are housed and are not able to secure the green feed, bugs, worms and mineral matter that 'the range bird has excess to then it becomes very necessary that they be supplied with a feed that meets this requirement in order to keep up the birds vitality and for profitable egg | production. [ Dr. Kaupp stated that eggs can be produced in North Carolina cheaper than in the northern section of the United States and Canada. He refer red to an experiment that had been conducted in which a flock in North Carolina averaged thirty-seven more eggs per year per hen than in Canada. This test was made on the same feed and all similar requirements except climate. Dr. Kaupp told of an interesting experiment at the Test Farm at Swannanoa where a net profit of $2.40 per bird was made on a flock of White Leghorns. Other tests showed that it takes 7 pounds of feed to produce a broiler, 20 pounds of feed to produce a pullet to the lay ing stage and 85 pounds of feed to supply a laying hen a year. The exhibits displayed on feeds and diseases were very interesting. Dr. Kaupp stated that the best con trol for diseases was to secure a good foundation flock, house and feed '.hem proper, and sanitation. ML-. Brownell of the Farmers Fed eration made a most interesting talk on the gi'ading and marketing of COOL SPRINGS- HIGH SCHOOL CLOSES SUCCESSFUL YEAR Forty-Six Seniors Are Given Diplomas Tuesday Eveninir —Dr. Zeno Wall Preached Baccalaureate Sermon— Address Tuesday By Dr. Henry Dußose.
