CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED IN SELECTING CHICKENS FOR MARKET Poultry raising is more than just turning out eggs or poultry meat. The vray to make money with poultry is to produce a good product and build up a good mar ket for it. A local housewife bought a nice three pound broiler from a local market last week. The cook dressed it on Saturday. She noticed a peculiar odor, but failed to mention it. On the fol lowing day when taken from the refrigerator to cook for dinner, the odor w 7 as so vile that it was not considered fit for consumption. Upon examination, the liver proved to have green and black spots on * it and was greatly enlarged, show ing a distinct symptom of cholera. This fact will hurt the producer, the merchant, and surely the housewife will not want another from the same flock. Be sure the poultry you offer for sale is in good condition. CHOLERA IN POULTRY * Cholera attacks birds suddenly. Fowls often look perfectly well one day and will fce found dead the next. Yellow or gTeen colored drippings are often found around the vent. Post mortem shows liv er enlarged, generally dark green or black. It is most common when fowls are crowded. Germs may be spread by pigeons, sparrows or rats. Germs enter the body thru * contaminated food and water. All sick birds should be killed and burned at once. Poultry houses « should be thoroughly cleaned, and THE ZEBULON RECORD, ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA. FRIDAY. JUNE 24.1938. all droppings and litter burned. Spray the house with a good disin fectant. YELLOWED TOBACCO NEEDS GOOD ROOTS Farmers whose flue-cured to bacco on the lighter soils has turned yellow and hard may yet save their leaf by helping the plants to develop better root sys tems, said L. T. Weeks, assistant extension tobacco specialist at State College. He advised that growers scatter the middles every time the tobacco is sided. Breaking the soil in the middles and throwing it up around the stalks makes conditions ideal for good root development, he ex plained. The best implement for this work is a one-horse turn plow using the largest mold board or wing with a sweep about 18 inches long and 2 to 1-2 inches wide fast ened to the back if the stock by the same bolt that holds the mold board. Such a sweep will push the soft dirt up around the plants without damaging the leaves, and the plow will be far enough away from the plants not to disturb the roots. This method of cultivation pro tects the plants from extreme wet or dry weather, and the available plant food material from the mid dle of the row is placed in reach of the plants’ root systems. As a result, the plants will develop ear ly and will not be so likely to start seco. d growth as if cultivated flat. Ou.breaks of sunscald have been reported over the state, but this is not due to a parasite or a conta gious disease. The exact cause is not known, but damage is most prevalent when fast-growing plants are exposed to hot sunshine and high winds. As the plants near maturity and the growth rate become slower, less damage is done. EXTENSION PIONEER TO ADDRESS FAIRM MEETING A discussion of “Where Are We Going in Southern Agriculture?’’ by J. A. Evans, pioneer agricul tural extension service worker will be a feature of the men’s program for Farm and Home Week at State College, August 1-5. Evans w 7 as one of the first coun ty agents to be appointed in the United States when extension work was first being started in Texas more than a quarter of a century ago, and he has made an intensive study of southern agri culture. At present he is admini strative assistant of the Georgia extension service. Other subjects on the men’s pro gram will be: The place of farm FARM AND HOME J. E.

Call or write Barry Davis ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA cooperatives in the agricultural program; how 7 Tar Heel farmers can reduce their fertilizer bill $2,000,000 a year; the importance of soil conservation and how good conservation practices may be adopted; better methods of producing crops; effective ways of controlling diseases and insects; the advantages of certified seed and what requirements must be met in producing such seed. Speakers will also tell of the importance of parasite control in livestock production; the dairy council and what it does; live stock farming in Eastern North Carolina; soil-building in the Piedmont with beef cattle; the place of poultry in the farm pro gram. A Jersey herd classifica tion and a calf club demonstra tion are also scheduled on the pro gram. Tours will be made through laboratories on the college cam pus, and probably to Chapel Hill and to Duke University. Those who are interested will be taken to visit the poultry farm, the animal husbandry farm, the tobacco ex periment station, and the central experiment station. CURING TIME It usually requires from 84 to 96 hours for proper curing of tobacco. The first temperature should be from five to ten degrees higher than that outside the barn. This is maintained until the leaf is fair ly yellow or about 24 to 36 hours. The temperature is then raised four to five degrees each hour un til it reaches 120 to 125 degrees. When the tips of the leaves begin to dry the temperature is raised another 15 to 20 degrees at the rate if four to six degrees an hour and held until the leaf tissue is dry. It is then raised again from 5 to 10 degrees an hour until the temperature reaches 180 to 190 de grees and this heat maintained un til the leaf stem is dry in all parts of the barn. URGES GROWERS KEEP WATCH OVER GARDENS Outbreaks of disease and insect infestations will do less damage to the garden if the grower keeps a close watch over his vegetables so that control measures can be start ed as soon as possible after the plants are attacked. Applications of three-fourths of one per cent rotenone dust will de stroy leaf-eating insects such as bean beetles and cabbage worms. Plant lice and harlequin bugs also die wrhen covered by this dust, said H. R. Niswonger, extension horticulturist at State College. A distinct advantage of using rotenone is that this material does not have any harmful effects upon human beings, and plants may be dusted right up to the time they are to be harvested without dan ger of making the consumer sick. Poisoned Bordeaux dust is re commended for eradicating flea Deetles feeding on tomato and pep per plants. Bordeaux mixture will control the leaf spot diseases of to matoes, peppers, cucumbers, and cantaloupes, Niswonger added. He also stated that in growing sweet potatoes, the best results are obtained when the plants are NOT fertilized with stable manure or sweepings from the hen house floor.
