FARMERS AWAIT
THE NEXT TERM
OF LEGISLATURE
President of State Farmers
Convention Oddresses j
Body in Raleigh
The North Carolina farmer is deep-j
ly concerned in what the next Gen- j
era) Assembly will do to help him in
the way of tax reduction.
This was the significant statement
made ,by VV. Warren Watson, of
Hyde County, president of the State
Farmers Convention, in his opening
address to the convention delegates at
State College on Tuesday morning,
August 30.
"It appears to me," said Mr. Wat
son, "that we should give considera
tion to those matters and things vital
ly affecting the State generally for
they will surely affect the agricultural
interests which represent 52 percent
.of the State's industry. It is being
generally understood that the person
nel of the incoming General Assembly
is, by a good' majority, favorable to
the repeal of the ad valorem tax for
the six months school term. Now that
the State has taken over the roads
and the schools, then why not the
State assume the debts contracted by
the various counties for the building
of roads which are now an integral
part of the State Highway system."
r Mr. Watson also advocated the State
assuming the burden of debt incur
red by counties and special school
districts in building state-regulated
types of school buildings. He said
further the State should take over the
various road and bridge bond issues
where the,jnoney had been legally and
lawfully expended fur certain roads.
As to salary cuts, he declared this
should be done evenly and that if the
General Assembly should create any
new offices, the officer employed should
be subject to such a cut as well as the
lowliest employee.
The further consolidation and cen
traliaation of all bureaus, commis
sions and offices should be effected in
the various counties and the state
government, in an effort to save tax
money in this emergency, he said.
DRYING SAVES
SURPLUS FRUIT
Can Save Vegetables And
Fruits by Drying Them
in Sun or Oven
When, can and jars are scarce or
not available, the garden and orchard
products may be, saved by drying in
the sun or oven.
"All fruits and vegetables may be
dried satisfactorily by cleaning, »lic
jing, and exposing to the sun, or the
process may be hastened by placing
in trays over a stove *o that the warm
air will pass upward through the
| trays," says Mrs. Cornelia C. Morris,
district home demonstration agent at
State College.
It is advisable to begin sun-drying
by placing the product in the shade
for an hour before exposing it to the
djrect sunlight, states Mrs. Morris.
.This will prevent "case hardening,"
and will cause the product to dry
evenly. If drying is to rapid, the out
er walls will harden before the mois
ture evaporates from the inside and
'will cause the fruit and vegetables to
;mold. When the drying is properly
1 done, the finished product should be
dry and brittle, she states.
| Cover all products with a wire net
ting, advises Mrs. Morris. This will
keep away insects and will also pro
tect the product from trash and other
matter in the 'air.
| After the drying is completed, the
fruit* and vegetables should be con
ditioned by turning frequently or pour
ing from one container to another.
This allows more complete drying and
also gives an even (fcstribution of the
moisture. The dried products should
be stored in paper bags, boxes, cans,
'or glass jars.
! For best results, Mrs. Morris rec
bmmends that „pnly ripe, firm fruit
be selected for drying. This should
be quartered or sliced, and placed in
'the sun as directed. The peel may be
left on-' if desired, but this does not
make a* Ifhe a product as when the
peel is removed. Vegetables selected
should be young and tender, she says.
WIU.IAMSTON
NO„TH
IS TIME TO MAKE
BREEDING PLANS
.To Be Profitable Hen Must
Mature Early and Lay
Well In Winter
For a hen to be a high producer
and therefore be profitable to the poul
try farmer she must mature early, lay
well during the winter months and
continue this production during the
hot summer months.
"The factor causing the birds to lay
for long periods is referred to as the
quality of persistency and is inherited
or passed on from the dam and sire,"
says C. J. Maupin, extension poultry
man, at State College. "Therefore, if |
breeding hens are selected in the late (
summer or early fall and winter this
quality can be noted and only the late
molters selected."
Those birds molting in June, July
or before August 15th are lacking in
his quality and should never be used
in the breeding pens. The best hens
Continue to lay through September and
October and some even continue in lay
much later and from this group should
be chosen the next year's breeders.
Mr. Maupin states that good males
are also necessary for continual high ■
production in the flock and that at
least one or two pedigreed males
should be secured for a special mat- j
ing pen of the best hens. These
birds should have a record
with female ancestors laving 200 eggs
or more. He urges, however, that
only those birds of .known .pedigree
be bought and that • these be secured
from a reliable breeder.
Records of four of the best flocks
in the State last year showed 411 aver
age production of 190 eggs a hen.
with average returns above feed costs
of $2.70 a hen. On the other hand,
I four of the bocks having the lowest
I return produced an average of only j
I 121.3 eggs a hen for a net return a-1
I bove feed costs of only 85 cents a
I bird.
| "Producers do not have much con
-1 trol over egg prices but they do con-1
trol the breeding and feeding practices
and in this way can improve produc
tion and secure greater profits," says
Mr. Maupin.
QUESTIONS AND ,
ANSWERS AS TO!
FARM PROBLEMS
♦
Question' Grain moths and weevils
are unusually bad in my storage
room. How can I get rid of these'
Answer: Carbon disulphide pour
ed over the grain or placed in pans j
on top of the grain will control these
| pests. Where the grain is to he used
|as feed the, mixture may be poured j
| directly on top but where it is to be
iused for seed the carbon disulphide
should be placed in pans on top of
the grain. In both cases the mixture
evaporates and the .fumes settle to
the bottom.. For best results, the bin
or storage room should be kept tight
ly closed.
/Question: Is one worming of young
pullets sufficient to rid them of worms
or will the dose have to be repeated?!
Answer: This will depend upon
the degree of infestation but, if you
will carefully cull out those birds that
are diseased or run down, one worm-
ing should be sufficient. A careful
check should be made, however, on
all birds that die or are dressed for
broilers after the first worming is
completed. If there is still a fair in
festation, the dose should be repeat
ed. Directions on the worm tablet
package should also be carefully fol
lowed.
Question: In building a sweet po
tato curing and °storage house should
I use bins or crates? What is the
best size for storage?
Answer: Crates have been found
to be more satisfactory than bins.
There is less handling by using
crates which prevents much bruising
and skinning of the sweets. A crate
holding one bushel and measuring
twelve inches wide, IS inches long,
and twelve inches deep is the one
most commonly used and is the most
economical. This size crate is easily
handled and also gives a convenient
method of measure.
Question: After removing the
males from the breeding pens, how
long will it be before I can be sure
of getting infertile eggs?
Answer: There is some variance
in reports on this question but ex
perimental studies show that two
wee'ks is he least time recommended
between fertility and infertility after
the males are reniovel It is best,
however, to allow for a variation in
breeds and birds and to wait three
weeks before guaranteeing as infer
tile the eggs from the layers.
Dentifrices have no magical compo
sition, says Cullen. Their ingredi
ents include precipitated chalk, soap,
water, baking soda, borax, Iftagnesia,
glycerin, alcohol, a sweetening agent,
and medicinal oil* intended to give
the article an attractive color or taste,
but in spite of popular opinion to the
contrary, this does not mean that
they have any remedial merit in the
treatment of diseases of the mouth.
