CHICKS THRIVE
AS GREEN FEED
IS GIVEN THEM
Green Feed Added To the
Regular Ration Makes
Hens Lay More
When green feed is added as a sup
plement to the regular poultry ration,
the birds grow better and lay more
eggs. All the vitamins essential for
growth and health can be made avail
able if a variety of green feed is used.
"Legumes and the tender green
crops of the garden are all rich in
vitamins and food for poultry," says ■
C. J. Maupin, poultry extension spec
ialist at State College. "Alfalfa, clovers,
lespedeza, rape, soybeans, lettuce,
tender cabbage, collards, kale, and
young oats, wheat, barley or rye are
some of the crops liked by poultry
and valuable to them in developing
growth and increasing egg production.
We have found that young lettuce, for
instance, has cured a run-down con
dition in hens. Gree alfalfa, fed lib
erally, has been reported as checking
the deaths of poultry due to poor
feeding. Where the birds are given
white corn, they need the food prop
erties found in legumes and other
green stuff."
Mr. Maupin recommends curing
some legume hay for the birds to feed
upon in winter. Well-jCured alfalfa,
clover or lespedeza hay is very valu
able. This hay should he cured bright
green in color with no rain allowed to
fall on it during the curing process.
In addition some field crops such as
Fulghum oats, Abruzzi rye, dwarf
"fes'sex rape and soybeans might be
planted for the chickens this fall.
Fresh lawn clippings are good and so
are garden crops like carrots, cabbage,
and the other leafy vegetables that
may be planted for the fall and winter
garden. Green feed usually becomes
scarce during the latter part of the
summer and care taken to provide
such feed will pay for the trouble by
extra profits in eggs and good health
in the flock, Maupin says.
SAYSEXCHANGE
IS VALUABLE
«
One Exchange in the State
Did Business Volume of
$375,000 in 1931
•
Mutual farm exchanges as operated
in a number of North Carolina coun
ties have great value and more of them
finally welded into a state association
should he organized and the whole
or organization, believes J. W. Johan
sen, extension economist at State Col
lege.
Mr. Johansen says there are some
50 county mutual exchanges now in
operation. They are simply small co
operative buying and selling organi
zations owned and operated by the far
mers themselves and incorporated un
der the Mutual Exchange Act of
North Carolina. Under this type of
set-up. the farmers are permitted by
law to collectively pool their farm
products for the purpose of assembling
grading, processing, packaging, adver
tising and selling the products to the
best advantage. The act also per
mits the associated farmers to buy
their supplies collectively at wholesale
This volume purchasing and selling
has saved the farmers of the Stale
siderable money in recent years so
much so that a number of county farm
agents who have organized such ex-'
changes have been the targets of at
tacks by certain business interests
which have disguised their attacks un
der the head of saving taxes. There
is one exchange, says Mr. Johansen,
now in its second year which will save
the farmers of the county for 1932 be
tween $25,000 and $50,000. in fertilizer
costs alone. Another mutual exchange
did a volume of business amounting to j
$375,000 for its farmers in 1931. , The
bulk of this business amounting to
$225,000 was from farm products sold
for the membership and $150,000 was
for farm suppplies bvught in pooled
orders.
"As the farmer sees his way to af
filiate his local exchange with the
State Exchange and this in turn af
filiates with national marketing or
ganizations, the farmer will have an
improved outlet for his products,"
johansen believes.
