grains- Farmers who are in need, of
cash to take care of their fall plant
ig.s should come to the county agent,
and talk it over. The change in date
for these loans is made possible due
to the drought in this country.

Prospective 1934-35 Food Supply
Adequate For Dietary Requirements
Timely Questions
And Answers On
Farm Problems
Uuestion: .My chickens are six
months old. Should they be vacci
nated for chicken pox?
Answer: At this age, leghorn pul
lets are about to come into produu-
tion and vaccinating with chicken pox
virus will .set them back- It is best
therefore, to use pigeon pox virus
when bird.s are to be vaccinated at
this age. This virus does not produce
fs lasting immunity as the regular
chicken pox virus but neither does it
have so severe a I taction on the birds.
Best results will be secured when the
vaccinating in done at the age ut 10
to 12 weeks.
Pre.sent estimates of food supplies
for this year show that, in spite of
the record-breaking drought, sup
plies are sufficient for the larger
part of usual American food require
ments. There is no shortage at all for
two-thirds of the products; and the
omsnective shortage does not ex
ceed 5 to 10 per cent for the larger
part of the remaining items. What
shortages do exist can be compensat
ed for by shifts in the diet to use
more of the foods which are availa
ble in abundance. As a whole, these
shifts can' be accomplished without
any severe burden on consumers as
to cost, or any material decrease in
the nutritional value of the diet.
These conclusions by the Bureau of
Home Economics are based on esti.
mates of probable production and
stocks on hand of grain products,
dairy products! vegetables, f quits,
meats, and other commodities, avail
able for domestic food consumption, in
comparison with figures on average
domestic consumption for the 10-year
period of 11124 to inclusive. In
making these calculations, it has
been assumed that domestic use
would have first call on the available
supplies.
We have a prospective supply large
enough to 'meet average domestic
demand for grain products',, fluid milk
and cream, citrus fruits and vege
tables (except potatoes an il dried
legumes), sugar (after allowance is
made for (junta imports).-and vege
table shortenings. Ordinarily these
foods constitute a largo share of. the
diet, furnishing some - per cent of
the calories and about 57" per cent of
the nrotein. ' .
We will 'probably have from i) to
!I5 nor cent of the average domestic
supply of potatoes, the dried legumes.
I fruits (other than citrus), poultry
I and eggs, lard, and probably butter.
cheese, evaporated and condensed
milk. Ordinarily these products
furnish 23 per cent of the calories
and 18 per cent of the protein of the
American diet. In the case of vege
tables and fruit, most of the defi
ciency can be made up by careful
conservation of what we have and
reductions in the usual spoilage and
waste. In some crops there will be a
suiplus as for example, a probable
200 ner cent surplus in tomatoes.
For all canning crops, the probable
pack is Hi per cent above that of last
year. rroper preservation ot tnese
surpluses, where they occur, will off
set some of the shortages of fresh
vegetables elesewhere.
The most marked effect of the
drought will 'probably be on the re
maining foods, largely meat. For
the next few months, and probably
for the rest of the calendar year,
sunnlie.s will he ample for beef, veal
lamb, and mutton owing to the li.
quidation from the present livestock
numbers The supplyV of meats
throughout the coming year will de
pend in part on th(. extent to which
we ar,, able to conserve by canning,"
freezing, or curing, the livestock now
being slaughtered for lack of pasture
and water- Even with all the efforts
at canning and freezing meat from
the drought relief purchase of cattle
and sheen is probable that, the sup
ply of beef, veal, lamb, and mutton
will exceed the usual demand in the
next few months, and the .daughter
t hei raft e'r will "he short by perhaps
l." to 20 'per. 'cent. The extent, to
which the present supply can.be ex-
Question: How much silage should
be stored to carry a dairy cow
through the winter
Answer: This, of course, depends
upon how long you want to feed the
animal but the usiml way is to figure
three pounds of silage a day for each
100 pounds of live weight- A dairy
cow weighing one thousand pounds
will consume about thirty pounds of
silage a day in addition to the hay
and grain leetl. 1 his is a most eco
nomical, feed and should be used lib
erally during the winter months.
Question: When should the crop;
grow for winter hay be planted
Answer: The best time for plant
ing barley, rye, vetch, Austrian win.
ter peas, and crimson clover, when
planted as hay crops, is between Sep
tember lo and October In- I his will
allow for harvesting the next spring
so as not to interfere with the prin
ledpal summer crops. Oats shouM
be sown between October 1 and No
vember 1 with wheat being put in
just fifteen days later. Extension
Circular No. 187 gives the seeding
tended to meet the deficit is a prob
lem being faced at the present time.
In addition, the quality of much of
the meat that is available will prob
ably be somewhat less well-finished
and special attention will need to be
given to Cooking methods. After the
next few months, the supply of ..pork
will also be shorter than usual, per
haps by as much as .'!0 per cent,"
Meat products, the supply of which
will probably be somewhat short by
the late winter, furnish, as a rule,
about 1") per. rent of the Calories and
2,r per cent of the protein of the av
erage American diet- Our usual con
sumption of these animal protein
foods-is fa My high complied with con
sumption in most other countries. If
it were necessary, our meat consump
tion could lie reduced materially and
.-till leave a wide margin of safety.
Fowls Lose Health
When Production Is
Pushed, It Is Said
The evolution of the fowl from a
jungle bird laying 15 eggs a year to
the modern hen 'aying up to 300 eggs
in the same period is a monument to
poultry science, says R. S Dearstyne,
head Jt '.fie Sine College poultry de
oepartment. The fowl has betsn transformed
from a partially herbivorous bird to
one which will utilize large quanti
ties of animal protein in egg manu
facture. The birds' bodies have prob
ably changed in adapting themselves
to the new diet- he said.
Unfortunately, however, the tenden
cy of the industry has been to rtresi
increased production without taking
sufficient consideration of fowl vi
tality.
lhe question of mortality is now a
major cencern of the industry and
much thought and investigation must
be spent before the problem can be
solved, Dearstyne stated. The prob
lem is complex, as there are so many
reasons lor birds dying early.
A recent study by O- B. Taylor of
the Poultry Department 'into the
causes of death in 4 4-10 fowls showed
deaths weie caused by the following
conditions in the percentages listed:
diseases of the digestive tract l-"'.9
per cent; intestinal parasites 11. G
per cent; respiratory diseases, 0 per
cent; tumors, 8.4 per cent; germ
borne diseases, 7 per cent; diseases of
the glandular organs. O.U per cent;
constitutional diseases. 0.5 per cent;
Kentftal diseases, (i.o'.'r ; abnormal
diseases, 5.4 per cent; protozoan dis
eases, 5-4 per cent; nervous diseases,
4 per cent; accidental deaths, 3.(i per
cent; diseases of the circulartory sys
tem, ltf per cent, and cutaneous dis
eases. 5 per cent.
This study brought out the fact that
much of the work of reducing mortal
ity will fall upon the individual poul.
tryman to use better methods of
flock management and of controlling
the spread of diease.

i Drunkenness Is On
Increase Since
Legalizing Beer
Washington Deets Pickett, secre
tary of the research and educational
department of the board of temper
ance, prohibition and public morals
of the Methodist Episcopal church,
has made a survey of the United
States on the effect of the repeal of
the eighteenth amendment, and the
'legalizing of beer. He bases his
findings on reports from 192 cities,
including Gastonia and Wilmington,
North Carolina,
"The first three months of 1934,''
said he, "showed an increase of 31.68
per cent in the number of arrests
for drunkenness over the correspond
ing months of 1933. The board re
ports an increase of 10 91 per cent in
arrests for drunkenness in these 192
cities during the first three months
of the sale of beer."
In Gastonia there were sixteen ar
rests during the first three months of
192J, under the prohibition, compared
with 52 in 1933; first three months of
beer resulted in 83 arrests, and first
three months of 1934 arrests total
129. The increase of arrests during
the first three beer months was 59.02
per cent, and from repeal 148.08 per
cent.
Wilmington: Arrests for drunken
ness in 1920. totaled twelve, and 1926,
fifteen; first three months of 1933, 46;
first three months of beer. 64; first
three months of 1934, 94 and the per.
cent inciease of drunk arrests, 1933
39.13, and first three months of re
peal, 1933, 104-35 per cent.
