Keep pleny of clean litter In hen ' nests and avoid having to clean eggs before marketing. Salt should be made acces sible to all cattle at all times. Say: "I Saw it advertised in The Press." Recent estimates are that ap- ; proximately 108, 000 North Carolina farm dwellings have electricity. One of the best methods of weed control is plant clean seed. |s.'MftRKETLiy<V On* of tuy i#e I ta (hat mo?? rkmiiw* ? ? mi brcakfuttl if *?? b4jnw?;n?*?r? *nuM <?< nun >kftn/ txaln our morning m?iM So i>?? ?U?ul ?-r?irn ? different ktnH of fruit or cereal, or n n?* v* *ny tomorrow morninfP?

Patton Brother* CITES WAY TO HIGHER YIELD OF SOY BEANS Tests Reveal Certain Cultural Practices Are Necessaj-y Tests conducted by ihe N. C. agricultural experiment station have shown that soybean pro ducers must follow certain cul tural practices to get the kind of yields that mean profit. The application of lime and fertilizer to the soil, in most of the 1946 soybean experiments, regardless of whether the soil v.as naturally poor, moderately rich, or very rich in these nu trients, resulted in increased yields. The recommendation stem ming from this finding is that the producer have his soil test ed to determine its exact needs. Once these needs have been de- I termined, lime in the amount specified should be applied. The standard fertilizer treat ment, and the one found most effective in the testis, is 400 pounds per acre of 0-10-20 or its equivalent, applied at plant ing. This season, the research workers say, it may be neces sary to use 0-12-12. Application of the fertilizer calls for special care. If plac ed too near or in contact w: h the seed, it may injure the stand. For this reason growers are advised to put their ferti lizer in bands to the side and slightly below the level of the seed. . The experiment station has found that Ogden and Roa noke are, from every view point, the soybeans best suited to North Carolina conditions. Ten tc 12 seeds per foot of row is the best seeding rate for these varieties. Warns Danger Of Bloat In New Forage Unless care- Is taken to let cattle and sheep get accustomed to the new spring forage crops, losses of these animals for bloat may become serious, according to a statement issued this week by Dr. J. E. Foster, professor of animal husbandry at State col lege. Bloating, usually caused by hurried eating and gorging of a new kind of pasture, is due to an excessive accumulation of gases in the rumen or paunch. Xt results in a pronounced swell ing on the left side, Dr. Foster explained, and may occur sud denly and grow continually worse until fatal. Regardless of the severity of the case, the an imal should be kept under ob servation, he said. "At this season of the year, and especially with the improv ed clover and alfalfa pastures," Dr. Foster said, "there is danger of cattle and sheep bloating, until they became accustomed to the grazing." He added that some cases have already bet i reported which probably could have been avoided if these sug gestions had been followed: Do not turh livestock on pas ture for the first time until the rain or dew has dried off. Give the animals a feed of grass hay before they are turned on pasture. Allow the stock to graze for only about 30 minutes for the first day, and increase the time by about that amount for the next four or five days until the stock becdlnes accus tomed to the pasture. Inspect the animals frequently, for the first few days after turning on pasture. If bloating continues in spite of above precautions, delay grazing until plants become more mature. Brooding Of Chicks Continuously Proves Costly Some North Carolina poultry producers are losing a lot of money each year through the continuous brooding of differ ent-aged chicks in the same building, according to T. T. Brown, poultry specialist for the State college extension service. Costly disappointment usually results when chicks of different ages are brooded in the same building over a long period of time without a break, the spe cialist declared. Some Investigators are of the opinion that the non-dlsease produclng bacteria found in the dust In the air, when run through several generations of chicks, become virulent enough to stunt the growth of chicks and predispose them to specific diseases. When continuous brooding is practiced under the same roof, even though solid partitions may separate the va rious brooding rooms, the chicks . ?* ? , ? ? I gin to slow up In growth after e first few months and be come unhealthy looking. In many cases, no serious mortality is experienced, the special1, t said, but the chicks require sev eral weeks longer to attain n : marketable weight, and it is tii - ficult to put flesh on the buds. This condition results in vrty ! high production costs and low [quality broilers and fryers. Better livability and faster and more efficient growth of chicks is obtained when the en tire house is filled at one time with chicks of the same age. . When the broilers or fryers are sold off, the house should be thoroughly cleaned, disin fected, and aired, preferably for several weeks, before m.re chicks are placed in it. This lapse of time tends to break the cycle of most disease and non-disease-producing bacteria 1 that may stunt or kill chicks, he said. State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. How can chick coccidiosis j be prevented? A C. F. Parrish, in charge of poultry extension at State col lege says to keep the brooder house dry. Avoid overcrowding of chicks. Add fresh litter often or clean the house often. Pro vide plenty of ventilation in the house. Keep the house anc\ equipment sanitary. Keep visit ors out of the houses.

A dust mixture containing one per cent rote none applied at the rate of one half pound to each 100 square yards of bed is recommended The dust can be applied through the cloth cover provided the cloth Is dry and not resting on the plants, recording to James T. Conner, ^Ir.. entomologist for the State college extensioii service. This application should be repeated about every four days until the Infestation has been checked. Cryolite can also be used as a control on this pest. This ma terial should be applied at the rate of 1 pound to each 100 square yards of bed In the same manner that the rotenone Is used, and the application should be repeated at weekly intervals until the infestation has been checked Q. How can I prevent chick ens from eating eggs? A. The flock owner should provide at least one nest with plenty of clean nesting material for every five birds, according to Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the poultry department at State college. It should also be borne in mind that an unbalanced diet, as far as minerals and vitamin D are concerned, may produce soft-shelled eggs which will break easily. This leads to egg eating. Foot-and-mouth disease, caus ed by a highly infective virus, is one of the most devastating animal diseases known. 9 GREAT NAMES IN HARDWARE GENERAL ELECTRIC APPLIANCES ZENITH (Radios) (Batteries) PITTSBURGH Paints and Varnishes McCORMICK-DEERING Farm Machines and Implements MYERS Electric Pumps GIBSON Refrigerators and Ranges YOUNGSTOWN Kitchens COLE Corn Planters ALADDIN Lamps and Fixtures Macon County Supply Co.
