Growing Of Poultry
Will Be Explained
The production of poultry in North
Carolina will be increased in 1933.
Key S. Dearstyne, head of the State
College Poultry department, says he
-would not attempt to forecast the fu
ture but for two years now, poultry
wen have received rather pood prices
for their products and have made some
awney due largely to the spread be
tween the prices of feed and the prL--s
of poultry products. Barring an
exceedingly heavy production which is
not now apparent, the situation for
thfaj year should not change greatly
from that of the past two years. This
eans that the outlook for poultry
ould be termed satisfactory. Certain
ly so when other crops are considered.
But, Dearstyne says also, regard
less of price, more attention must be
paid to the breeding and feeding of
the birds if the enterprise is to be
permanently successful. The indivi
dual growers have control over these
two important matters and they have
partial control over developing specia
lized markets for their products.
iNorth Carolina still needs more
irds and better birds, lie says. This
means a higher production per bird
at a lower cost. Numbers of poultry
men now depending upon outside sour
ces for their breeding stock could do
some trap-nesting and thus develop
future breeding stock.
Timing the hatches so as to pro
duce early layers and the clearing up
of parasites are two other things to
which attention must be given.
The dole system of feeding is had.
Poor range conditions will not develop
the pullets properly. Ample shade,
feed and water containers and green
feed should he provided during the
hot weather usually occuring during
the developing season.

Question: Is home-made molasses
good for dairy feed and how should it
be used?
Answer: Molasses of any kind is an
excellent dairy feed but care should
be exercised in the amount fed and
manner of usage. The best way to
feed is to dilute the molasses with one
part of water to three parts of molas
ses and epray this mixture oyer the
roughage. Undiluted molasses may
also be poured over the grain feed
but the former method gives best re
sults. Not more than one quart a
day should be fed each animal.
Study Food Supply
For The Farm Home
Two years of low prices for farm
products has caused North Carolina
farm women to study the "uestion of
an adequate and balanced food .sup
ply for their families as never before.
In 1932, Miss Mary Thomas, food
.specialist for the agricultural exten
sion service at State College, says 22,
(189 women and 12,280 club girls were
enrolled in food studies through their
organized clubs. There were lti,4,'W
women and 7,349 girls who completed
the scries of studies as outlined. Es
pecially did these women and girls
emphasize a continuation of the live-at-home
program and adopt plans
leading to the production of. adequate
foodstuffs on their home farms.
"In spite of this," says Miss Thomas
"there arc still too many farms in
our. State' which do not produce an
adequate amount and variety of food
for the family. This is indicated by
the prevalence of such nutritional
diseases as palhigrn, 'constipation an:)
anemia due to the lack or proper food
and information about the relation of
food to health. Our club women, how
ever, are studying food selection, bet'
ter preparation of the food available
and more skillful 'meal planning."
The home demonstration club vo
men have four ultimate goals in view,
says Miss Thomas. Those are:
An adequate supply and variety of
food produced on. every farm.
Every member of the family prac-l
ticihg good food selection habits and
free from ailments '.indicating faultv'
diet.
Eeiy family having meal- well- j
planned to meet -body needs," foods
well-cooked and attractively served.
lEvery family making' a food budget
and keeping simple record of food
costs.
Question: A number of fertile eggs
in my incubator failed to hatch. What
causes this?
lAnswer: There are many factors
causing this trouble but the lack of
vitality on either side of the breeding
pen, carelessness in storing eggs for
hatching, extreme variation of the
temperature or humidity in incubator
are the principal reasons. Care in the
selection and storage of hatching eggs
and constant attention to the incu
bator for temperature and humidity
will give a larger hatching of healthy
chicks.
Question: What fertilizer should I
use on bunch grapes and how should
it be applied?
Answer: A light 'application of
stable manure should be made lie fore
the spring plowing. If this noi
available Nitrate of Soda may be used
and scattered around the vine at the
rate of one-half pound per vine. Do
not put this material close to the vine
but scatter in a 'circle about one. foot
away. In light soil, acid phosphate
.md potash used at the rate of two
pounds of phosphate- and one-half
pound of potash will prove beneficial.
Question: Should cattle be allowed
to pasture on timber of forest lands'.'
Answer: Grass and trees can not
grow in the same place and cattle
waste energy and strength by roam
ing or grazing in woods. Cattle also
destroy young tree seedings and the
constant movement packs the soil and
reduces soil aeration. They also cut
up the leaf litter and make paths that
are the forerunners of erosion.

trop When Pastures
Yields, Is Found Fail, Says Expert
The plan of using a definite rota
tion of crops is building up North
Carolina soils and is gfiving more eco
nomical acre yields, according to facts
gathered by Enos C. Blair, extension
agronomist at State College.
One result of the crop rotations is
seen in higher acre yields through
permanent soil improvement. Another
is the increased amount of grain be
ing planted and harvested. More
wheat was sown to he used for flour
during the past fall than at any time
since 1919, Blair says. The same is
true of certain cotton and tobacco
counties in the piedmont section of
the State. More acres of hay mix
tures, including small grain, were liar,
vested in 1932 than ever before, and
legumes are being used to take the
dace of heavy fertilizer applications
with good results.
"A prominent farmer in Mladen
County used $1,000 wortli of fertili
zer on his lou-acre farm in 1927.
says Mr. Blair. "Since that time, he
has followed a rotation in which a
large acreage of legumes, chiefly soy
beans in corn, was turned under every
year. Tins aided him to make a bet

Past experience has proven that it
does not pay for the North Carolina
dairyman to depend on his permanent
pasture for roughage during the
' months of July and August,
"Piolonged droughts for the past
two or more years indicate the neces
sity for the dairyman to have an in
surance crop to furnish grazing dur
ing this part of the summer. To de
pend on pastures will mean that the
cows will lack feed," says A. C. Kim
rey, dairy extension specialist at State
College. "It is not too early now to
make plans for the proper feeding of
dairy cows in July and August. Pas
uring a crop that will furnish contin
uous growth during this period is a
good practice and there is no better
crop for' this purpose than Sudan
grass."
Mr. Kimrey says various methods
have been restored to by dairymen
to have the necessary succulent rough
age during the late summer. Summer
silage has been used aid is satisfac
tory when available in sufficient quan
tities. Soiling crops have been used
but the labor necessary to cut and
haul these crops to the barns makes
this practice burdensome. It is better

Question: How should sweet pota
toes be bedded and is covering neces
sary before the seeds sprout?
Answer: Place the sweet potatoes
about three-fourths of an inch apart
to prevent crowding the sprouts and
cover with two to three inches of clean
sand. If sand is not available use
sandy soil from a field that has not
grown potatoes for several years. If
the soil is dry, give it a moderate
watering. While not absolutely
necessary for late bedded potatoes, a
covering of 1 to ( inches of pine straw
will afford protection from cold and
will also conserve moisture. The straw
should be removed as soon as the
sprouts come thru the soil surface.
May Develop Market
F o r F u e 1 Supply
Improved Hog Prices
Forecast By April
Because of the limited holdings of
pork in cold storage and the low re
ceipts of hogs at the leading central
markets, there is every prospect that
prices for pork will increase by, April
first. " c .,...'.'
W. W, Shay, swine-extension -specialist
at State College, says the re
ceiDts of hoes at tho seven leadine
markets during the five months of Oc- Nature trees, C.racbor says
tober to February inclusive, were 7.
972,748 head as compared with 1 1.
f49,308 head during the correspond
ing period in 1931 and 1932. The re
ceipts during February of this year
were only 537,240 head as compared
with 724,152 during February one year
ago. For the week ending March 10,
receipts were 21,822 less than the
week ending- March 12, 1932.
"In addition to this," says Shay,
"the cold storage of pork, including
frozen, drysalt, pickled, and ill process
of cure on hand March, 1, 1933 was
24.89 percent less than was the case
on March 1 1932 and 28.75 percent
less than the average on March- 1 for
the past five years."
In Shay's opinion, this means that
hog prices must increase by April 1
to where they will equal or exceed
prices paid one year ago. He looks
for the prices to improve to the point
where they will exceed the actual cost
of production. This prediction is made
in spite of the fact that the average
price for the week ending March 11
was only $3.84 a hundred pounds.

Back-Yard Poultry
Gives Food Supply
The back-yard poultry : growing in
dust ry-in North Carolina has alwajs
been an important factor in poultry-growing-
in this section and should be
expanded during the present period,
is the opinion of C F. Parrish, poultry
extension specialist at State College.
As a reason for this suggestion,
Parrish says back-yard poultry keep
ing is affected less by changing eco
nomic conditions than any other pro
ductive enterprise. In times of high
prices, great numbers of persons keep
fowls as a means iif reducing the cost
of living, In times of depression, the
back-yard flock may play an impor
tant part in the struggle to keep go
ing on a reduced income. Then, too,
fowls are the most adaptable xjf all
domestic animals and may be kept
successfully under a wide range of
conditions.
"It is true," Parrish says, "when
the range is restricted and methods
are intensified, the feci) and labor
cost for each bird is increased. This
may not be a handicap since our ex
perience has shown us that when
farmer ; produce eggs and poultry at
lower cost, they do not necessarily
make the laigest net. profit either on
the birds, or the labor used. It is
cheaper possibly to buy. feed. '.than to
buy eggs and chickens., and much of
the tablv scraps or surplus green vege
tables n iu v be used to ' advantage-.wit h
the back-yard llock."
In keeping poultry in the backyard,
however, Parrish advocates houses
that are well ventilated, but not open
to winds and rain. lie suggests good
dropping hoards, clean nests, plenty
of fresh water in clean containers,
and curtains for protecting the birds
during bad weather. While the hous
es should have open fronts, the birds
must have 'adequate protection' tim ing
freezing, rainy weather.
