TOO MANY HENS We heard
the other day, that a certain

siews to us. We might admit
.that the local market, even the

not admit that there is no mar-

A GLUTTED MARKET! This
is news to us. There is not more
than one half the number of
eggs in cold storage this spring
that there was one year ago.
There is not as many pounds of
dressed poultry in cold storage
as there was a year ago. There !

Mr. Floyd was successful in
persuading the Chilean Nitrate
of Soda people to furnish the
materials for enough fertilizer
for 8 1-2-acre plots. The raw
materials for this fertilizer
were purchased and then mix
ed at the warehouse. This en
abled Mr. Floyd to secure the
miles from the railroad. It is
nearly four times as strong as
an 8-4-4 mixture. In other
words to secure enough of this
fertilizer to equal 400 lbs. of
8-4-4, the farmer would need
to haul home only 100 lbs.
What a saving in labor this
would mean. How much more
simple would be the getting of
the fertilizer on the hill lands.
Three of the plots of the con
centrated fertilizer will be
placed side by side with three
of the plots in which the 12-4-6
has been used. The intent is
to compare the two fertilizers,
to discover their effect upon
the yield and the quality of the
tobacco,1. If this proves suc
cessful it will mean a great deal
to the farmers miles from the
railroad. Undoubtedly it can
be used with other crops than
tobacco, as corn, wheat, with
success.
I Mr. Floyd is much interested
in his work in this county.
1 There is no definite data on
fertilizing burley tobacco. Ev-
; ery farmer has his own way.
j There is hope of securing some
thing worth while from these
tests and we hope that the
farmers will watch them dur
ing the year. Later we will
'give the location of each plot.

CEMENT WORK We do not
know whether this is timely
just now or not. We do know
that many people are making
more and more concrete work
in the county. The Portland
Cement folks sent us some of
what they call 'Newspaper
Shorts for County Agents'. We
are copying some of those most
interesting.
1. What happens when you
put some water in glue? The
glue naturally loses strength.
The same thing happens when
too much water is put into con
crete. The portland cement
and the water form a paste
which holds the sand and the
pebbles together. The more
water you add, the weaker you
make this "paste."
2. Un order to make uniform
concrete, all materials used in
it, including water, must be ac
curately measured- Sand and
stone can be easily measured by
the use of a bottomless box
made to hold exactly one cubic
foot, two cubic feet, or ny
other desired amount The box
is placed on the mixing plat
form and filled. It is then lift
ed, and the material remains on
the platform. It is not neces

of which is marked off for gal
