Timely Farm Questions
Q. What can I do to stimulate
cgK production in my poultry flock ?
A. If the birds are just poor lay
ers, there is nothing to do except
to get rid of the hens. However,
Ihe feeding factor must be consid
ered and a careful check should be
made to see that a plentiful supply
of feed is before the hens at all
times. Then, too, be sure that the
feed formula has not been changed
as any change' in diet will cause a
falling off in production. If the
birds are going into a molt this
early it would be best to discard
these hens and get a new flock for
next year.
Q. How often should I mow a
lawn planted last fall?
A. Mowing should be started this
spring just as soon as the grass is
tall enough for the machine to
catch the ends of the leaves and

should be run over the lawn every
week during the growing season.
The clipping, however, should not
be too close nor (should, thp cut
grass be removed. After the grasses
have gotten well started into
growth, an application of nitrate of
soda or sulphate of ammonia should
be made at the rate of 100 pounds
to the acre. This is especially true
if the grasses are not growing well
and do not have a good color. Do
not apply this material when the
grass is wet as this might .scorch
the leaves.
Q. What other livestock would
you recommend keeping on a dairy
farm?
A. Poultry and swine production
should accompany farm dairying
since .skirnmilk and whey will be
available for feeding both hogs and
chickens. A' farm with a milking
unit of five cows should have at
least 100 hens and one good brood
sow. The cash return from the
cream or milk, poultry and hogs
will equal the operating . expenses
of the average size farm and all
returns from so-called cash crops
will be the profit on the farm.

Important Change Is
Made In AAA Program
E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive of
ficer of State college, has announc
ed an important revision in the
1939 agricultural conservation pro
gram enabling farmers to earn full
payment offered for compliance
with their acreage allotments ev.en
though they fail to plant 80 per
cent of their allotments.
iln -the. past it has been necessary
for farmers to plant at least 80
per cent of the allotments given
them, otherwise the payment was
made on the basis of 125 per cent
of the acreage actually planted.
Floyd said that the change is the
result of a recent amendment to
the agricultural adjustment act, and
that Secretary of Agriculture Henry
A. Wallace put the change into ef
fect for this season.
In this connection, the AAA of
ficer said that the idle farm land
provision of. the agricultural ad
justment act is not affected by the
ruling'. The revision applies to, cot
ton, corn, wheat, potatoes and com
mercial vegetables, and Floyd said
that fanners may earn full payment
offered for compliance even though
they plant no acreage to these
crops, provided the farm is operated
in 1939. No conservation payment,
except in connection with the re
storation of land and soil-building
practices, will be made with respect
to a farm which is not operated
in 1939.
"The purpose of this chance is to
simplify the agricultural conserva
equitable to all farmers, which the
AAA is constantly striving to do,"
Floyd stated. ; ,

Beer helps even those who do not drink it ! To
the tune of a million dollars a day nation-wide,
beer tax revenue reaches back into every com
munity, to help pay for relief, for public works,
for education. ... and to lift a burden that would
otherwise rest directly on the taxpayers.
To this, add a million new jobs made by beer.
And a 100 million dollar farm market.
How can we keep these benefits. . . for you and
for us? Brewers of America realize this depends
on keeping beer retailing as wholesome as beer
itself. They want to help public officials in every
possible way. They cannot enforce laws. But
they can and will cooperate I
