that family members like to do
and ones that each can do well.

Timely Farm Questions
Q. How can I obtain higher
returns from my farm flock?
A. "There is liUie doubt that
Q. "There is little -coubt that
the labor income per bird in
the vast majority of our farm
flocks can be increased by- an
aggressive pregram which would
include better bred stock, a bal
anced diet, and careful man
agement," according to R. S.
Dearstyne, head of the poultry
department at North Carolina
State college.
Mr. Dearstyne advises replac
ing mongrel birds by purebreds
or by carefully bred crosses
which would be held for one
laying year only.
Many farm flock owners like
to reproduce their own flocks I
in order to have a constant I
supply of young Chickens avail- 1
abie, and this is understandable, |
asserts Mr. Dearstyne. However,
farmers should realize that the
chicks hatched are a reflection
of their parents.
Good parent stock is neces
sary if the chicks are to live
and put on flesh economically.
Consequently, a good breeding |
program should exist in the j
farm flock or it should be an
ail-pullet flock replaced from j
a reliable source each year.
He recommends selling off
pullets after the first year of i
lay and replacing them with

LIVESTOCK MANAGEMENT
What is the livestock outlook?
Beef cattle danger signals.
1. The number of beef cat
tle on U. S. farms is at an all
time high. 2. Cattle go up and
down in cycles; we are at the
top of the peak now. 3. Poultry
ar.d hogs will move in if our
prosperity slackens. 4. Drought
stresses the question: Will we
have enough feed? 5. Many
feeders lost during last year
so many store corn this fall.
6. Southern herds are booming
which is a new factor in the
market. 7. Mexican and Can
adian beef will soon be enter
ing our markets.
This all adds up to this fact:
a beite;- program of manage
ment must be followed. Keep
your herd young, make sure
you have plenty of feed .in
cluding silage and a winter
grazing crop. Use a good pure
bred bull. Breed cows in May
and June so that calves will
new pullets, which should do
much to build up the supply of
eggs. After the first year .of
lay, the performance of the
chickens is drastically reduced,
and thus, returns are reduced,
the poultryman adds,
:ome In February and March
:'ull and sell any cow that does
lot f/ive sufficient milk or lor
iny other reason does not raise ?
a good calf. A beef and dairy
animal cross brings more at
meaning time than later, since
the quality goes down with
i^e. When purchasing feeders
ouy good quality and avoid
heavy borrowing. Sell grass fat
cattle early. Take profits as
you go and when in doubt, sell.
Dairy cattle: The milk supply
is stilx short. Milk is being ship
ped in irom out o; state. The
price of milk has advanced.
There is a great need lor more
Grade A dairies. There is a
good demand for springer heif
ers and cows of good size and
dairy quality. This, however,
does not mean that the dairy
man can be slipshod in his
methods. A strict program of
management is necessary. Make
every effort to have a suffi
cient supply oi hay, silage, and
a winter grazing crop. Seed
heat, oats, and barley to fill
that silo next spring. Keep
plenty of good clean water and
loose salt available at all times.
Don't keep more cattle than
you have feed for. Cull out the
shy breeders and poor milkers.
Don't feed all cows the same
amount of grain, but feed in
proportion to tne amount of
milk she will give. Use artlfic- 1
ial breeding and keep only the '
best heifers for replacements. '
Protein meal will be *hort and
the price high and will so
higher. Now is the time to lav ;
in a supply.
Hogs : Hog prices should hold j
up well through fall. Some
farmers in the t hog growing
sections are discouraged by
high disease losses and worried
about new disease troubles.
Many hog raisers are cutting
back and some are quiting all
,togeWier. ! etermlne the num- 1
ber of livestock you keep by ,
; the amount of feed you will '?
i have and let me repeat again j
I that heavy fertilization of wint
er grazing crops will be our j
?salvation.
i .In 1950, cash farm income to j
i North Carolina milk producers i
was S40896.000. j
National forest receipt* dur
ing fiscal 1951 totaled $56,147,
341, of which $51,098,565 was
! from the sale of timber and
I forest products. The remainder
, was from grazing fees, mineral
j leases, resorts, summer home
