Poultry Profits
Are Increased By
Capon Production
Production Of Capon Will Add
Profits To Poultry man's
Income.
The capon retains the tender,
juicy anil sweet retains the tender,
was possessed in its youngest life
and rinds a ready market when there
is a scarcity of othsr market fowls.
"The production of capons will add
profits to any poultyman's annual
income," declares L. F. Brumfield,
county farm agent of Yadkin Coun
ty and an expert in capon production-

increased amount of tlesn which the
bird puts on. The capon has the
anging irjility of the turkey.
Mr. Brumfield finds the best meth
od in producing capons is to select
cockerels weighing about IV3 pounds
at eight weeks of age. These arc
caponized in the late spring and early
summer when broiler nrices are low.
The birds are then fed so as to
develop body growth and are fal
coned to be sold when about ten
months of age. When choosing
cockerels for capoiiizing. get only
those which show good vigor and
vitality and a tendency to produce
large bone.-. An individual of this
type will recover from the operation
very quickly and with th(. least halt
ing in growth.
The grain produced 011 the farm
.;lnd free range supplemented with
some animal protein and a mineral
mixture may he used as feed. Rye,
oats, rape, soybeans, peas, lespodeza,
alfalfa nad clover will furnish range
pickings through the entire period of
irrowth.
Timely Questions
And Answers On
Farm Problems
ODD BUT TRUE
Qui'.-. ion: tin Sweet potatoes be
uJ to dairy rattle and how do they
. '.mare with corn silage in feeding
value?
A:::'.vii': SwLtt potatoes are an
v :U nt luceulent feed and can b
t. 1 in a limited way for dairy
I'r.'.l. About 15 pounds a day is a
gaud ration for the average cow as
li. ;-r feedings may founder the an
imals. The feeding value of sweets is
one-third greater than corn silage
bv.'.' du to the price difference, they
are not recommended as dairy feed.
Culls and cut potatoes, however, may
. 'io.l when a ready market is not
available.
Question: Uoes the use of too
much lime evr result in injury to
. ops or soils?
Answer: Yes, the use of too much
lime cn certain soils may make the
,iaps mor,. sticceptible to certain dis
uses and also reduces the availa
bility of some plant foods. The sandy

Qmstion: What is the., best. - age

An woi ; No arnitrary age can be
it for breeding as this is governed
by th'-1 maturity of each animal and
.fie : n 'd. Heifers that aro fed a lib
ra! grain ration in addition to their
roughage will mature rapidly and can
be bred earlier than the slower ma
turing animals- A good rule to fol-
ow is to breed Jersey and Gncrnsoy
heifers to freshen from . 24 io 'M
months of age with Ayrshire and
llolstein heifers bred to- freshen
from 27 to 32 months of age.

.lust as marginal farm lands re-dui-i'

orchard profits, when permitted to re

''This is especiall true of commer
cial apple orchards," says II. R. Nis
wonger, extension horticulturist at
St: te (College. "In nearly every such
crchard there are non-profitablo trees
which are no longer returning the
cost of fruit production. They are
being nursed along at the 'expense
of 'he more profitable trees and
should be consigned to the brush pile
and replaced with new ones. Non

quality seedling may also be consid

ces, the latter trees may be top-worked
to the more popular commercial
varieties,"
The present u'end in -apt)),, prices
'makes it ' necessary, however, for the
f - u.it, grower to lower his unit crst

Four feeding trials conducted by

search in animal husbandry for the
North Carolina: Ixperiment Station,
indicate that when young pigs linve
ai';", 's to grans ;uid pasture before
they are put in the feeding lot, the
pasluro is not so necessary for gains
arid profits thereafter.
"Our tests show that a vyell b;il

A valuable re.-carch papir cover

says L. I. Case, beef cattle special
