Volume VII. How To Farm To Make Living EVERYBODY READ THIS In order to farm to make a living the following plan has been offered for eastern North Carolina. It seems to be well worth trying. Farmers are uged to raise all necessary feed for family and livestock. Let cotton, tobacco and other cash products be clear. Don’t plant mote tobacco and cotton than can be cared for properly. Plan to have something to sell t very month in the year to meet cur ie- t expenses. For a 50 acre farm with a popula tion of 3 adults and 3 children there should be 2 mules, 2 cows, 2 young stock, 1 brood sow and 75 hens The owner should have 5 acres of permanent pasture, hay, and cotton, w ith 5 acres of woodland and 5 of farmstead; 7 acres of small grain, 8 of tobacco and 10 of com. The family should can 270 pints of fruit and 300 pints of vegetables for use during 6 months of , the year. Canned fruits may include fruit juices. The farm layout should be arrang ed so as to practice at least a three years rotation of crops. Farmers are advised to plan this rotation along some such line as rye, corn, cotton, or peanuts, and tobacco, which is a 4 year rotation. The farmstead should consist of 1 acre of buildings, 1-2 acre of lanes; 1 poultry yard, which should be in the acre allotted to the orchard as well; 1-2 acre of garden; 1 acre of hog lots. Feed for the livestock should be: orn. 356 bu.; Oats, 09 bu.; Hay, 9 ions; wheat, 37 bu.; Pasture addition al. The family of five and the hired nan should have corn, 8 bu; wheat 'or bread, 15 bu,; Irish potatoes, 10 nt.: sweet potatoes, 20 bu.; beef and eal, 400 lbs.; pork and laid. 500 lb.; poultry,, 100 lbs.; 180 dozen eggs and 100 gallons of milk with 150 lbs. of >utter in addition to the garden. After providing for the family iceds there should be for sale 760 allons of milk, 1900 lbs. of pork. 570 ozen eggs 2 1-2 bales of cotton and 600 lbs. of tobacco. Other crops may be added. The above plan is endorsed by lead jig farmers, fertilizer manufactur es, warehousemen, hankers and edi frs in Eastern North Carolina and teh trmers of this section are urged to illow it as closely as possible.

Number 34. 1000 Chicks Ready Next Wednesday The Zebulon Community Hatchery b operating in its new location near Wakelon school and will have 1000 chicks for sale next Wednesday, Feb ruary 10. Anyone interested in se curing good chicks should engage them at once in order to have early spring chickens for home use or for market. The chicks that will be offered for sale are from standard breeds of ma ture flocks. All flocks from which eggs are purchased are pesonally in spected and culled rigidly. This should insure good strong chicks with vitality. The best known sanitary precau tions are observed in cleaning and disinfecting the incubator and incu bator room. For the benefit of those v.ho wish to secure chicks that have already gotten a start, a sanitary | blooding system is in use which pre vents the spread and contamination of diseases. There will be a supply of chicks from the standard varieties of chick ens each Wednesday afternoon. Come in person and select your own chicks. Flggs for hatching will be received on Mondays only. See the manager and have your own eggs hatched or he can get good eggs for you. Eggs will be hatched continu ously as advertised in the local paper on a percentage basis. Eggs can be produced at present feed nrices with all feed purchased for 8c per dozen with 60 percent pro duction. If we grow the scratch gram and buy the mash they can be produc ed for 7c per dozen with 60 percent production. By careful feeding, proper housing, and management we should he able to maintain around 60 per cent production for the greater por tion of the year. With eggs at the present prices there is still room for a fair profit. Russia Can Learn From Local Hatchery The local hatchery began operation two weeks ago. This morning the manager, Oren I). Massey, reported that he had a chick to hatch yester day. News reports tell us that an op erator of an incubator in Russia tried tr speed up the hatching process by increasing the heat and cooked 50,000 eggs. Even Russia may learn from Zebulon.
