on your vegetables, flowers, trees

have tremendous large families.

Top Ventilation Needed
By Poults, Expert Says
Plenty of ventilation is needed
by late-hatched poults which are
still in brooder houses during hot
July and August days, says L. W.
Herrick, extension turkey special
ist at State College.
It’s best, says Herrick, to keep
the sides of the brooder house com
pletely open during midday, to
give the birds the protection of
the roof and the benefit of any
cross-breezes that may be stirring.
If it isn’t convenient to /have
all sides completely open, there
should be some openings on each
side. In case the brooder house
is tight and hot, the first place to
remedy this situation is to remove
the boards between the plate and
roof, both front and rear.
Windows Required
All brooder houses have some
windows in the front of the house,
and these may be removed or op
ened wide. It is well to have win
dows at least three feet wide all
across the front. This arrangement
gives good light, which is also im
portant, especially in starting
poults.
The ends should have either
windows or doors that may be op
ened. Many large brooder houses
have wide drive through doors in
each end for cleaning out the
house. Such doors provide good
ventilation when open.
Herrick says most large brooder
houses have an opening two or
three* feet wide, running the length
of the house along the back side.
This is fixed by nailing boards
on cleats and hinging in sections
six or eight feet long.

Compares Selling
Reflecting the economic health
of the Zebulon service area, elec
trical appliance sales continued at
a substantial rate during the first
six months of 1951, according to a
report by R. W. Talton, local man
ager of Carolina Power & Light
Company. While sales were some
what below those of the same per
iod in 1950, said Talton, they are
not disappointing, because in the
first half of last year there was
an abnormal flurry of buying
stimulated by scarcity scares.
There are generally plenty of ap
pliances on the market today,
the power official said, and steady
sales are expected to continue
throughout this year.
The steady swing toward elec
tric cookery was emphasized by
the fact that over the whole CP&L
system, 41 per cent of the Com
pany’s residential customers now
own electric ranges, and 30.2 per
cent of them own electric water
heaters. Home freezers were
%
selling better than last year.
Customer Use Grows
Residential customer use of
electric power has steadily in
creased, and by the end of the
year is expected to average 3,000
kilowatthours per year, which is
far in excess of the national aver
age. The Raleigh, Sanford and
Southern Pines districts already
exceed the 3,000 mark.
In the Zebulon service area, the
six months sales record of dealers
show 271 ranges were sold, 484
•electric refrigerators, 117 home
freezers, 115 water heaters, 6
dishwashers, 134 electric automat
ic washers, 32 attic,vents, 129 wa
ter systems, 47,336 mazda lamps,
194 portable lamps, 474 regular
washing machines, 25 ironers, 2,-
165 pieces of table cookery, 968
other motor devices, 155 other fans,
1,565 radios, 7 television sets, 1,-
294 other heating devices, and 51
other farm devices.
