Please note what he says about producing quality tobacco. It seems as tho too many of our farmers are in tending to go after pounds rather than quality next year. Another authority writing in the Southern Agriculturist makes some statements that bear pondering. Writing be fore the market opened, he gave the crop estimates as re ported by the Federal Crop Re porting Board. They calculat ed that one-fourth of the acre- age was oaaiy aamagea Dy drouth and would not yield over 400 lbs. per acre. The drouth was most severe in the heaviest producing sections. reduction is advisable. He believes that the effort should be nlade toward, not more tobacco, but rather to ward better tobacco. The growers must use those meth ods in growing and handling the crop that will increase the quality as well as the yield per acre. His suggestions are right in line with the suggestions of other authorities. We believe that it will profit the Madison County farmer to consider this advice and to follow it. A GOOD CROP OF BURLEY James Ramsey, Mars Hill, had a profitable crop of to bacco in his garden last year. He set about 3200 plants and the tobacco from these plants sold for $196. We venture to say that this was more than The crop estimate was slightly many farmers made on their over 300,000,000 pounds. , acre. A case of good methods. There is no telling what it would have been without the drouth. are one excellent sign of pro gressive communities." It is not necessary to wait to secure aid, always, q keep up a road. An hour or so with a team and a toad drag will do "wonders. Just try it out. POULTRY FLOCK GOING FINE O u r county poultry flock, as we like to call it, is do ing nicely. During January there were in this flock 1255 pullets, 511 old hens, 31 male birds. The nock produced 21,114 eggs that sold for $706.88. The feed cost was $325.56, leaving a nice profit of $381.32. The average cost of eggs per dozen was 18.5 cents. The av erage sale price was slightly over 40 cents per dozen. It would be interesting to com pare the record of this flock with that of the average coun ty hen. We venture that there would be a difference of some import in favor of this flock. One flock produced eggs for about 13.5 cents per dozen: an other for around 15 cents per dozen; still another about 14.9 cents per dozen. The birds are eating less every month per dozen eggs produced. It is evident that eggs can be pro duced at a profit even tho the selling price is around a quarter. diseases that are common to dairy cattle.
