I doomed to almost certain failure.
Poultry raising requires long hours
of work and study, careful attention
to detail, and a persistence that re
fuse to admit defeat, said Roy S. Dear
styne, head of the State Colloge poul
try department.
Too often, he said, urban dwellers
invest large sums in placing build
ings and equipment on a poultry farm,
then purchase low-price chicks and
attempt to run the farm with the
cheapest labor obtainable.
Only by a miracle, he declared, can
such a venture succeed.
Before any one, city man or farm
er, goes into the poultry business,
Dearstyne added, he should consult
the local farm agent, then visit a
number of successful poultry farms
to see how they are run.
The beginner should start off with
a comparatively small number of birds
A year's experience is needed to get
a working knowledge of poultry pro-
Eloiseiduction.
Secure the best chicks obtainable,
Deavstyne emphasized. Good chicks
cost only a few cents more to start
with, whilo inferior chicks cost many
dollars in lost profits later on.
Before setting up a poultry farm,
ascertain whether there is a good mar
ket for eggs and chickens. There is
no point to poultry raising unless the
products can be sold readily.
Study measures lor controlling
parasites and the common poultry
diseases, Dearstyne continued; feed
carefully but amply, excersise sani
tation at all times, and cull rigidly.

Raleigh Jan. A well constructed
cold frame will help the home gard
ner get his vegetables off to a good
start in the spring.
A cold frame, serving as an inter
mediate stage between the seed box
and the garden, gives the plants a
chance to harden before they are
placed out in the open.
H. R. Niswonger, extension horti
culturist at State College, recom
mends that such vegetables as cab
bage, cauliflower, tomato pepper, and
egg plant be transplanted to a cold
frame before being set out in the gar
den. For the average home garden, he
gaid, the cold frame should cover an
area six feet wide and 24 feet long.
The wooden frame enclosing the bed
should be 15 to 18 Inches high along
the back and 8 to 10 inches high in
front.
Locate the cold frame in a sunny
place, facing the south. Place good
garden loam,, mixed with stable man
ure, in the bed to a depth of six in
ches.
Second-hand sash or unbleached
muslin makes a good covering for the
frame. Muslin saturated with hot
linseed oil will retain the heat of the
sun within the bed - and also shed
water. Or the cloth may be treated
with a solution of one pound of para
ffin dissolved in a gallon of gasoline.
Young plants are ready to.be trans
ferred to the cold frame when the
first two true leaves have developed.
As warm weather approaches, the
plant bed should be left open a little
nore each day to harden the plants.
Ventilation is neccessary, even on cold
days.
Water the plants on sunny morn
ings when the temperature is rising.
Throughly wet the soil, then do not
water again until the surface appears
dry.

Saves Eroded Land
With Black Locust
Raleigh Jan. 8 Steep, eroded lands
nay be brought back into production
arith black locust as a timber crop.
Black Locust not only protects the
oil but it also provides high quality
timber for posts, poles and fire wood,
ays R. H. Page, Jr., assistant exten-
ion forester at State College.
Page said that an excellent exam
ple of recaliming a badly eroded
mountain side in Avery County is lo
cated on the farm of J. L. Hartley.
Ten years ago Hartley scattered
black locust seed pods on a field that
was too steep to produce wheat, corn,
or tobacco, and was rapidly eroding
while lying idle.
He continued broadcasting seeds
each year until at present there are
15 acres of land growing locusts three
to ten years of age. The trees range
from six to 25 feet in height.
This winter Hartley is thinning out
the timber by removing all deformed
and surpressed trees from the older
fields. This will provide more room
for the trees which will later be used
for posts and poles. The wood re
moved is being used for fuel.
Hartley is also seeding burned over
woodlands near his home with diff
erent varieties of tree seed, includ
ing poplar, ash, and northern red
oak.
Planting trees on these burned
over areas holds the soil in place and
' starts the work of building its fer-
