Friday, November 25, 1927 COSTS QUARTER A DOZEN TO PRODUCE EGGS State College Poultry Ex pert Makes Tests To Prove Costs Raleigh, Nov. 14.—Those economists and farmers who say that eggs can be produced in North Carolinsl "for as low as 13 to 15 cents a dozen don't know what they are talking about, ac cording to Dr. B. F. Kaupp, head of the poultry department of Srite Col» lege. Dr. Kaupp states that it will cost nearly 25 cents a dozen if all feed costs and overhead costs are added to the totals. He bases his statement on some experiments that he has been conducting with a flock of 750 white leghorn hens at-one of the branch sta tion farms of the North Carolina ex periment station, i "Some of the data that I have seen says that it costs the Southern farmer only about 13 to 15 cents a dozen to produce eggs," says Or. Kaupp. "We know that when hens have been bred for high egg production, the cost per dozen eggs-is lower, and for that rea son it will certainly cost the average farmer mofe to produce eggs than it will the commercial poultry farmer where the hens are bred for highest production. This commercial man also gives closer attention to his manage ment and feeding than will the aver age fanner. We have many farmers who are making money with poultry, but they are considering their eggs to cost only 15 cents a dozen to produce.' Dr. Kaupp used the regular North Carolina ration in feeding his test flock of 750 hens. He kept a careful and accurate record of each cent spent for feedj jhe cyst of litter; grit, deprr ciation of the flock, interest on the in vestment, the labor, taxes, and other charges. Then there were some mis cellaneous charges, such as for medi cines, egg cases, leg bands, and the like. He credited the hens for all eggs, for all manure, and for the pool try sold. Each hen returned a nej profit above all costs of $2,40 for the year, and the eggs were produced at' a cost just a fraction uiider 25" cents. He found, too, that it took six pounds of feed to produce each dozen eggs. Adopt New Basis Awarding State Printing Contracts Printing plants all over North Caro lina, regardless of their size, will have oportunity to get a part of the public printing work under tlw new basis of awarding contracts, adopted at a meet ing of the State Priuting Commission last Tuesday. The adoption of the new basis was unanimous. It is expect ed to eliminate most of the trouble tht has been experienced during the that has been experienced during the controversy recently between the printers and the State Printing Com mission. 9 WILJj ROGERS After Seeing and Examining the . - -t—— ; ' « Says The Following:— "Peddle your General Motors stock, scrap all the things you bought for automobiles, start building more roads, for you can announce to the world that Uncle Henry Ford has a conveyance. "Cops, mount your steeds, for this new baby will do 70 miles. Wire wheels, four-wheel brakes. I tell you, bfeeding and asso ciation will tell. She looks like a Lincoln. The only Fordy thing about it is the fellow that wrote the name on it. It is the t same handwriting as old Lizzies." . ' ' ■ ; V ■ • !■ ! 1 - 1 1 1 I !

Sidney Corbett, manager of the commercial car divi sion recently announced that a four speed transmission is now available for all Chevrolet one-ton tyi>es. e This new transmission, Mr. Corbett said, will provide 107 per cent greater application of engine power than the regularly equipped three-speed trans mission, and is particularly adapted to such work as pulling out of plowed fields, *-sand pits, and similar heavy duty service. Provision also is made in it, M/. Corbet said, tor a power take-off, "so that the power from the engine may be applied to various de vices, such as hydraulic hoist, pressure units for spfayers, pumps, etc.-' "Gear reductions in the three high er speeds of the new transnvjssion," he said, "are approximately the same as in the standard three-speed trans mission, the extra fourth speed provide, ing a reduction 107 per cent greater than in the standard transmission. The new type operates and shifts the same as the standard, except for an auxil iary attachment to the / shift lever, which throws the fourth speed into gear. "The new product was developed by Chevrolet engineers and perfected' ofl General Motors proving grounds. It is available through the Chevrolet dealer organization at'a cost of shs installed." Rural Social Work to be Topic at Conference Special attention will to top it?, oi Particular value and interest tt social workers in the southern slates, by the National Conference of Social Work, meeting next May at Mem phis, declared Howard K. Knight, secretary of the conference who vis ited Raleigh late in October and ad dresed interested groups, urging a large representation from North C ar olina at the conference. "Ft is almost inevitable that there will be discusions of typical rnr.il so cial work, of the problems growing out of the great industrial develop ment of this part of the country, and similar problems with which you cope contsantly," stated Mr. Knight. "We are definitely , planning a Conference to meet the needs and desires of those who will go; The division chair men arc trying as tar as possible' to give new material byway of informa tion, stimulation and inspiration, and an bportunity for each person I , bring his contribution to the sume total of social work and practice." • 1 believe that the quite adm : ion which wc are all of us so feiidy to make, that,"because things have® long been v wrong it i,s impossible tlity should ever be right is one of the most fatal sources of misery and crime troin which the world suffers.

FERTILIZER MIXTURE I FOR TOBACCO CROPS I Other News qf General In terest to Farmers in This Section Raleigh,—Field tests and iarni prac tices have determined the best fer tilizer nfixtures to use under tobaco for highest production and quality. These mixtures were agreed on recent ly at a conference oi the agronomists of the southern states presided over by Profesor G. B. Wiliams of State College. The findings of this committee were released a few days ago and contain some itneresting facts for the tobacco grower. The agronomists state that ' the best mixture for bright flue cur ed tobacco is an 8-3-5 except for the jgrav soils with red subsoils where an 8-3-3 is recommended. For the light le>s productive soils, an 8-4-6 is ad-, vised. All of these should lie applied at tho rate of 800 to 1.200 pounds per acre. _ 1 f sand-drown occurs in the soils, use, at least two percent oi magnesia on l tin- land derived from the potash carriers or from dolomitic limestone. ■ ~*'lm> committee recommends that the ph sphoric acid come from acid phos phate. The potash should come from sulphate of potash. Tests show that the murate sometimes makes better i yigUls aiid god quality of weed but the' chance are that it will give too much ! chlorine which affects the burning quaf , ity and the potash carriers should be io used that not over two percent of i chlorine is in. the fertilizer mixture, j 1 lie nitrogen should come one-half from the organic sources like cotton-1 seed meal and fish scrap and the other half from urea or the inorganic sources | sncli as nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia. At least one-fourth of the 1 total nitrogen should be from nitrate of soda. n "J The boll weevil has knocked as many home runs as Babe Ruth this season I and he wil have good quarters for f* Jo II n 4 1 li ra* Car' iittumJ* 4 »>«H I j iJ >| \Vokm t *1 v * »dU«ec_ tfJfVn _ 2 C»rw Mt v".nMaAjLvAje^'Vi '. .r. vTitmnlwU vu*«m — Reconditioned Right and Priced Right! vTIm When we rt-ondiUon a icy is your assurance that Rn vU ß i s WgQf_ | used ear, wt do a thor- you puy only for what H| vTs# ough job.
