QUESTION: When should I
place my pullets on ra?ge?
ANSWER: Prof. Roy S. Dear
styne, head of the Poultry depart
ment at State College, says it is
well to get developing pullets on
raifge as soon as possible after
they are ten weeks of ?ge. Before
the birds are moved they should
be individually handled and all
culls removed. It is not going to
pay, especially with feed prices as
high as they are, to attempt to
carry <p>i$f-normal pullets ahead

able Jpirds. By providing a good
range for the pullets, the feed bill

QUESTION: How can I control
root knot in garden vegetables?
| ANSWER: Howard R. Garris,
plant pathologist for the State
College Extension Service, says the
garden should be located in a dif
ferent site*each year, if convenient;
if not, plantings should be rotated
in the garden. Plantings of warm
weather or summer vegetables on
infested parts of the garden should
be avoided.
Sweet corn, early plantings of
lettuce, radish, onions, peas, spin
ach, and cabbage may be grown
! in infested soil with considerable
' success.

What makes a
RAILROAD?
Is it tracks And (rains? Of course f
Is it the teamwork and devotion to duty of thousands of men
and women working together? You bet!
These things... and many more... make a railroad. And so do
the underlying policies that reflect the hopes and aspirations of the
railroad as a whole.
The policies that guide the Southern Railway System have not
varied through the years. They have been, and are?
To dovolop tfio tarritory and to fostar faith lit th*
South, its paoplo and its opportunitioa.
To furnish safa* aconomical and adaquata ^railroad
transportation In tha tarritory whoro tha "Southern
Servos tha South."
To troat fairly and kindly tha man and womon whoso
work koops tha railroad going.
To pay a fair raturn to tho owners of the pro party.
With steadfast faith, and with these principles that are recorded
in our 1946 Annual Report, the Southern confidently approaches
the future years,.
