Success Of Poultry
Depends On Care
Given Spring Chicks
The future success of the poultry
flock dfrpends a gTeat deal upon the
care and management of growing
chicks in the spring.
Give them proper care, said Roy S.
Dearstyne. head of the poultry de
partment at State College, and they
will grow into strong, vigorous, prof
itable birds.
Some of the fundamentals to ob
serve while the chicks are young were
pointed out as follows:
Do not overcrowd. See that there
are no more than two chicks for each
square foot of floor space in the
brooder house.
Provide two half-gallon drinking
founts for each 100 chicks. One five
foot mah hopper will be enough for
each 100 chicks during the first three
weeks.
From the age of three weeks until
they reach broiler size, each 100 chicks
should have two mash hoppers four
inches high, six inches wide, and five
feet long.
Inadequate feeding aid drinking
facilities is one of the worst, faults
in poultry raising.
Have adequately controlled vontil
ation. More chicks are killed or
weakened by overheating than by
chilling.
Keep the feed hoppers filled with
a well balanced mash.
Aim to have the chicks consuming
about equal parts of mash and scratch
feed at the sixth week.
Maintain rigid sanitation.
Cull all slow developing chicks.
These seldom "come through" and
prove profitable.
When the weather permits, get the
chicks out on the ground. A great
deal of benefit is gained from sun
shine, green feed, and1 fresh air,
Question: How much letspedeza
Feed should be used an acre when
sown on small grain?
Answer: When broad cast at least
on bushel (25 pounds) of seed should
be used to the acre. The seed Should
be covered lightly. If the seed are
drilled in, less seed is required. The
drill should be set to run very shallow
and the seed may be mixed with su
perphosphate, basic slag or ground
limestone. A good stand of lespedeza
is necessary for best results and a
few extra pounds of seed to the acre
will more than pay for the seed in
hay or soil improvement.

New Farm Plan
In Outline
High lights of the new farm plan
advanced by Henry A. Wallace, Sec
retary of Agriculture, follow:
1. Set a 270,000,000-acre quota for
major crops in lSwb, putting up to
30,000,000 retired acres in grasses and
Legumes.
2. Distribute two kinds of pay
ments: a small one on land already
used for grasses and legumes, with to
cents to $i an acre suggested; a larger
one for land retired from major crops,
amounting, on a national average to
about $11 an acre. These benefits
would vary according to the produc
tivity of the land, differing from farm
to farm in the North. In the South,
a "soil improvement'' payment would
vary, according to crop retired.
3. Spend "a definite top" of $470,
000,000 for these purposes in 1936.
4. A maximum acreage of major
crops to be set for each farmer seek
ing benefit payments.
5. Administration to be "democratic
in principle," chiefly by county AAA
committees and a state board.
fi. The gradual development of state
programs to replace this interim pro.
gram by Jan 1, 1938.
Farm leaders called into conference
in Chicago to offer criticisms and sug
gestions, said the quota proposed for
major crops was approximately the
same as the AAA established by crop
reduction program in 1935.
The AAA in that year took about
$30,000,000 acres out of major crop
production, they said.

Question: Should minerals be add
ed to the ration of a dairy cow?
Answer: .Home-grown feeds do not
supply enough calcium and phosphor
ous and it js necessary that a good
mineral mixture be provided, especial
ly for growing and breeding animals,
For good producers a mineral mix
ture composed of equal parts of finely
ground limestone and steamed bone
meal should be added to the concen
trate .ration .at the rate of 2 pounds
of minerals to each. 100 pounds of ra
tion. This, togrther with the 4min
era's carried in the hay and grain
will enable the cow-, to replace the
calcium and phosphate taken from
her body by heavy 'milk production.
Question: What keeps my broilers
from feathering out as they should ?
A n s v or : E a r 1 v f e a t he ring is: us u -
ally inherited, but the failure to
feather is 'influenced to some extent
by the temperature, humidity, and
diet. Overheating and lack of hu
midity will retard the feathering pro
cess and- if the ration is-materially
lacking in certain minerals, and. in
protein, poor feathering will result.
Che.k the ration: carefully and make
corrections, if necessary,: so that the
birds will get a balanced diet With,
the necessary minerals. :

Many times each year we ave asked
question,, by dairymen that Profes
sor Eckles has answered in Hoard's
Dairyman.
Good practice requires that the
cow be in a strong, vigorous condition
at time of freshening and have con
siderable surplus flesh as a reserve.
The milk yield to a considerable ex
tent depends upon this point.
Good rations of natural feeds, six
to eight weeks of dry period between
locations, good condition at calving
time, are important."
'Production of cows increased
3,598 pounds of milk and 114 pounds
fat by proper feeding during dry
period."
Good rations and proper feeding
are as important for dry cows as they
are for cows in milk."
Dairying in Haywood county is mak
ing a solid steady growth. We ques
tion whether or not our business men
realize that the creamery pay checks
represent the pay roll of an industrial
piant. About z'M men and women ara

Farm Questions
and Answers
Question: What fertilizer should
be used when sowing lepedeza?
Answer: hxperiments show less than
1,000 pounds increase in hay yield an
acre from the use of. fertilizer alone
and between 1,000 and 2,000 pounds
from lime, with and without fertil
izer. From these results, , it would
seem that it would not pay to use
any fertilizer with this crop except
that when the seed arc drifted" "in,- a
small amount of superphosphate, basic
slag or ground limestone may be
mixed with the seed
Question: How much feed will it
take to produce a two-pound broiler?
Answer: Under ordinary condi
tions it will take between seven and
seven and one-half pounds of feed per
bird to bring them to the two-pound
weight. This will vary somewhat ac
cording to the vigor and vitality of
the birds in reference to their ability
to utilize feeds. The management of
the birds during the fattening period
will afreet the feed requirements. An
intensive fattening period will also
make a difference in the amount of
feed necessary. The figures given
will, however, bring the average bird
to the -two-pound weight under ordi
nary conditions.

The records at the Western Caro

as follows: From December 1, 1334,
to November 30, 1935:
A payroll of 235 people.

Butter manufactured 104,000 lbs.

County Agent? We are expecting you
Haywood county people to prouuee
enough milk and cream to ieea us

highest price possible for two farm
products, butter lat and eggs, ami
paying cash for these weekly. Feed
the skim milk to pigs, calves and
chickens. Call us when you need help
with these problems.
also not profitable to keep less than j
five cows, lhe returns trom two or
three cows will not justify the expense
of the simple equipment needed in
handling the product from euch a
herd and the cost of delivery will be
practically double that from herds
averaging five to ten cows. Begin the
dairy project with net less than five
cows and increase the number as the
production of feed on the farm will
warrant.
Question: How can I prevent my
hens from eating eggs ?
Answer: Egg eatmg is usually ac
quired bv certain birds in the flock
and starts by an egg being broken m
the nest. If you can pick out the
bird or birds that have formed this
habit they should be taken from the
flock and sold as there is no way of
breaking them of the vice. If the
whole flock is eating eggs there ts ap
parently an insufficient amount of
mineral matter in the ration and the
trouble can be corrected by balancing
the diet and adding the necessary
minerals.
Question: What preparation is
necessary in seeding a new pas-tare to
carpet grass?
Answer: Moisture is the chief es
sential to good growth of carpet grass
and, while this grass will form a sod
more quickly on a good seed bed, it
will eventually make a good sod. on
poor soil with next to no preparation
provided there is enough moisture
Many good carpet grass pastures have
been started by simply burning over
bottom land and sowing the seed. The
ideal seed bod, however, is one that
k thoroughly pulverized to a depth of
three inches and undisturbed . below
that depth. Plowing, , therefore,
should be- avoided unless done about
six to eight weeks before sowing the
seed. . .
