MUST USE WOODLAND
TO SUPPLY INCOME'
Raleigh, X. C., May 10 ? Much more
land in North Carolina is in woods
than in crops and there is un addi
tional million acres which has been
cleared but is now idle. Little ot' this
land is niadc to return an annual in
come. * ^ / ' '
"Yet land is the chief item of
equipment in the farming business,"
Says R. W. Graeber, extension for
ester at State College. "To "be suc
cessful as an industry every acre
most be made to produce. Idle acres
pay no taxes, cover no overhead nor
produce inc-oir.c on the investment.
The three main waysi in which we
can use our land is for the produc
tion of field crops, use as pasture
and as woodland for the growing of
timber. At the present time, our 18,
583,670 acres of farm land in the
State is divided as follows: 5,720,
259 acres in crops; 1,430,287 accrs
in pasture ; J 8,453,483 acres in wood
land ; 1,136,674 acres cleared but
idle and 1,849,976 for other par
poses." 1 *
This division shows the necessity
fbr' sdAe retfcrri ' to 6MM 'from the
woodlands and the idle cleared land,
states Mr. Graeber. By (<pra?ticing
the simple principles of good fores
try management, every farmer maj
become a forester and secure such
?V
return*-. * *
Mr. Graeber quotes one forester
who says, "the farmer who has a
piece of ^woodland" where during the
winter months he euts his fire wood
and fencing and a few logs for the
repair of buildings and implements,
and during certain years when prices
arc high cuts some logs for ' the
neighboring sawmill, but at the same
time\ looks after the piece of woods, j
cleans it of dead timber and other
rubbish, thus keeping out fire and
insects, and otherwise makes an ef
fort to keep the land covered with
forest ? such a mall practices fores
try. His forest may be small or large,
his ways of doing may be simple and
imperfect, the trees may not be the
kinds for the particular locality and
soil, they may not be as thrifty as
they should and could be ; but never- '
theless here is a man who does not
merely destroy the woods nor con
tent himself with cutting down what
ever he can sell, but one who cares
for the woods, as well as uses them,
one who sows as well as> harvests. He
is a forester."

SHEEP GOOD PROPERTY
ON AVERAGE FARM
Raleigh, N. C., May 10 ? Even 011
the average cotton farm of North
Carolina, to say nothing of the di
versified piedmont farms and the
mbuntain livestock farms, sheep will (
,pay their way when kept ifi reason
able numbers.
For many years, Zeno Moore, vet.
eran county agent of Edgecombe
county, has contended that every far
mer in his county should keep at i
least a small farm flock. Mr. Moore
has many examples to support his
contention and he has recently se
cured addtiional evidence to shew
that sheep will pay.
"Sheep bring in an income from
three sources," says Mr. Moorfe.
"This does not take into considera
tion their ability to eradicate weeds
and to produce -a valuable manure.
A cash income may be secured from
the sale of wool, mutton and lamb.
There is always a demand for one
or more of these commodities at a
price which will give some profit."
As an example of this, Mr. Moore
gives the case of J. L. Bullock,
owner of the Panola Farm near Tar
horo. Mr. Bulfock has just shipped a
car of spring lambs which will pay
him well. He recently sheared his
flock of Hapmshire and Shropshire
ewes and secured an excellent clip.
Many of the fleeces were unusually
heavy atid the wool was of excellent
quality. Mt Moore weighed three
fleeces and found that they turned
oat* 41 1-2 pounds. The best one
weighed an even 15 pounds and eaeb
fleece was cleSr of bun, smoothly
sheared and eveply wrapped.
This wool is easily worth 45 cents
a pound, states Mr. 'Moore. The av
enge fleece from grade sheep, will
weigh only about three pounds. The
good results, secured by Mr. Bullock
are ascribed to the use of good blood
in his sheep floek, good farming
iriiieh mens winter cover crops for
the sheep to use as pasture, shelter
from cold Ttaaa, especiaUy at lamb
time, sad sons IntilMyl ens.

PUSH YOUNG PULLETS
FOR WINTER PROFITS
Raleigh, N. C. May 10 ? The young
growing pullets need every ad van-''
tage becaune Ihe profits from thorn
this fall will depend largely on their
growth and matnrity.
"There are four essentials in de
veloping yourtg pullets," says C. F.
Parrish, extension poultryman nt
State College. "First give them a
good range on ground not occupied
by the hens nor Where mature stock
has been kept, supply plenty of fresh
air in the poultry house, give vueia
sufficient growing mash and scratch
feed and see that shade and green
feed is available. From the green feed
the pallets get certain food elements
and iron wbieh is essential. If
natural shade ia not available, an
artificial shade may be^ made by
driving four stakes in the ground
and covering them with sacks. Sun
flowers or corn- may abo be planted
4+ ftjffty.:foiaj 1 1 1 uri l(| ^ T
For those young pallets still in
the brooder house, the heat should bt
decreased as. fast as possible and the
house ventilated. The stove should ,
remain in the house for at least two
weeks after the fire is out to use
in case of cold rains. Feed the
scratch grain farther a#^y from the
house each day so the birds will go
out and eat more green feed.
For roosting, Mr. Parrish advises
the placing of temporary perch poles
in the brooder bouse when the chicks
are about 7 to 9 weeks old and do
not need heat. These poles should be
about 15 inches from the floor and
slanting at an angle of 46 degree*.
One inch mesh wire might be used
in front of the poles to make the
birds climb up.
The normal egg production of ma
ture hens during the month of May
is: twenty eggs per bird, states Mr.
Parrish, and the hens should so be
fed to secure this yield; During tlua
month sale, the mature birds are in
fected with round worms and tape
worms. It easy to give such treat
ments as will control this trouble but.
those who are in doubt should con
sult with their county agent or writo
to the i>oultry department at State
College.
