Onlv Good Chicks
Will Be Profitable
farm nock owners have had a
fiubfc vear. The drought in the
K prevented the poultry raisers
from overexpandinjr. and so prospects
ITgood this year. But with a nor
l growing season and increasing
,Tptovment. there is going to be a
Lree 'increase in the number of chick
ins on farms this year. So in plan
Tin? for the new laying flock we must
art with Mtev chicks and with bet
t.r feed and care raise a better and
mre profitable flock.
The most common mistake is to buy
cheap chicks because they are cheap.
We learn by experience that when the
price is low there is usually some
thing the matter with the goods. The
'cost of the baby chick is but a part of
the cost of the layer, and it takes as
much or more feed and care to pro
duce a poor layer as a good one. L.

most paying things that can be done.

a good example of pasture manage

farming practices.
When You Need
a Laxative
Thousands of men and women
know how wise it is to take Black
Draught at the first sign of consti
pation. They like the refreshing re
lief it brings. They know its timely
use may save them from feeling
badly and possibly losing time at
work from sickness brought on by
constipation.
If you have to take a laxative oc
casionally, you can rely on
A GOOD LAXATIVE
We have had a number of inquiries
about Kudzu plants and seed recently.
We will be glad to order these plants
for any one who wishes them. The
price is $7.50 per thousand. This is
for North Carolina grown plants. The
seed is $2.50 per pound. We would
be very glad to see a number of acres
put out in Haywood county this year.
We notice that a few small plant
ings made two years ago are now
growing nicely. This is one of the leg
umes and is a great soil improver and
soil builder to. put" on worn out places
and gullies. This is one of the leg-
j umes that fits in the new soil conser
vation program. It is not a plant
that will beoome a nuisance, on any
farm. These plantings should be
made before April loth.

produced the scrub hogs required

Any farmer who did not co-operate
in the 10156 conservation program has
only to fill out a work sheet for the
1937 farm program. Others are do
ing so daily. A farm is said to be any
area of three acres or more. We have
a good many farmers in Haywood
county who can and should join this
year. If you have a neighbor who has
not filled' out a mirk sheet for 1937
tell him about the program and insist
that he fill out a work .sheet at once.

Five Plans Given
For Saving Soils
Five simple and inexpensive prac
tices are sucsrested for 1937 by the
Soil Conservation Servi-e and State
College Extension Service as contrib
utory to soil and water conservation.
They are as follows:
1. SUBSOILING Break the land
well and subsoil to a depth of 18 to
20 inches. This will increase the water-holding
capacity of the soil.
2. TERRACING, STRIP CROP
PING Itrcak down the slope with a
system of terracing and strip crop
ping that will slow down the water
ahd reduce the erosion. The strips of
close-growing crops will add enrich
ing vegetable matter to the soil and
make it capable of holding more wa
ter. . '
o. LIMING T0 improve the phy
sical condition by neutralizing the
acids and increasing .the legume vrop
yields.
4. ROTATIONS- Plan a rotation
that will include as much dose-growing
voprotation as possible.
5. RETIRE POOR LANDS Take
put of cultivation and put to pasture
or trees all lands that cannot produce
crops at a profit. The Progressive
Farmer.

Says Newspapers
Big Help To The
farmers Of State
North Carolina farmers rind their
newspapers a valuable source of ag
ricultural news and helpful informa
tion, according to a statement by lean
I. O. Schaub, of State College.
Papers in both the weekly and the
daily groups carry numerous stories
keeping the farmer and his family
posted on what is going on in the field
of agriculture and home economics,
he pointed out.
Other stories give helpful sug
gestions regarding better ways of
doing things on the farm and in the
country home, the dean continued.
A number of county farm and home
agents over the state have reported
that with few exceptions, the farm
family getting ahead and making the
most of its opportunity is a family
that reads newspapers regularly.
'1 here are nearly 200 county news
papers in the state published weeklj
semi-weekly, or tri-weekly. and prac
tically all of them have a regular
poli.y of carrying timely farm news.
Dean Schaub said.
lie added that much of the agri
cultural progress ,f the state can be
attributed to the constructive efforts
of newsnapers in keeping their rural
readers well informed.
And the State College extension
service, oi which Dean Schaub is di
rector, is firmly convinced that any
thing it can 'do to help the newspa
pers supply their readers with worth
while agricultural news is a service
to farm people of the state.
County farm an.! home agents and
extension officials and specialists at
State College are urged to keep cwi
stantly on the alert for any farm news
or helpful suggestions that they can
give the papers.
