Good Flocks Are nlf Of llcinor Approved Methods I.-, astonishing to see how much ....im-mm expect of their La Mother Nature, declares T t jwn. extension poultry special- Stato College. On one farm one may find from 500 to o(H) or more chicks crowded into brooder house no larger than 12 by 14 feet. On the farm next door one ,iil orcbably find a large brood of chicks in a house with practically no ventilation and a suffocating temper- atYrt these poultryraen wonder why tbeir chicks do ot live and thrive, and sometimes throw up their hands in disgust at a business in which there is no money. Growers who are getting satisfac tory results with their present meth od of raising chicks should not change, Brown said. Many farmers fail because they try to follow the advice of too many per sons. For instance, one poultryman may be attempting to follow the re commendations of several feed sales men, the county agent, and the voca tional teacher, as well as the advice offered by neighbors. Although there is no one set way to raise chicks, the farmer should select one system and stick to that at all times. The chances of his success, if th, system is good, will be greatly enhanced. The extension poultrymen at State College have worked out a system which many farmers are using with a great deal of success, Brown said. Each new recommendation in the busi- 1 ness of poultry raising which they make is first tested thoroughly through experimental work and through prac tical field observations. The farm agent in each of North Carolina's 100 counties is acquainted with thesc recommendations, and growers interested in poultry produc tion may secure advice from this source.

SMITH'S DRUG STORE Pasture-seeding time is once more at hand, John A. Arey, extension dairy specialist at State College, is remind ing farmers. Spring seeding of pennanent pas tures should be completed by March 15 in the mountain counties. If the pastures are started after this date, Arey said, they may not be en tirely successful, since the delicate plants from late seedings do not have time to establish their root system be fore the dry, hot weather of summer begins. Therefore, many are likely to perish from lack of moisture. Proper seed-bed preparation is one' of the most important steps in devel oping a good pasture?. The seed-bed should be pulverized to a depth of two or three inches, but the portion below should be left firm. This can usually be accomplished with a disc harrow. Too deep cultivation should be avoided. In producing good stands, fertilizer and lime play important parts. An application of manure evenly distrib uted just after the seed are sown is recommended- However, if manure is not available, 300 to 400 pounds of a high grade fertilizer should be applied at planting time. On sandy soils 4-8-4 is recommended and on the heaviest clay soils 4-12-4 is generally used. These pasture sods should contain a large 'percentage of legitme plants. Since these will not grow well unless the soil is sweet, an application of a ton of ground limestone per acre should be used for slightly acid soils. Arey recommends heavy seedings to secure a good sod. Thirty to forty pounds of seed per acre bring best re sults. , . TIMELY Farm Questions and Answers Question: How much fertilizer should 1 use in my home garden? Answer: On the average soils, fer tilizer may be broadcast at (he rate of 2,000 pounds to the acre, but if applied in the furrow, the applications should not be greater than 1,000 pounds to the acre. Heavier applications may cause serious damage to the crops. If more fertilizer seems necessary, apply it. in the form of a side-dressing after the crops have become established. Side-dressings with readily available nitrogen fertilizers are often necessa ry, especially-with leafy vegetables. such as cabbage, lettuce, kale and spin ach, but excessive applications should not. be made. Two moderate appli cations will give better results when the fertilizer is applied in this way. Sheep Produce A Good Profit, Said A Capone Imprisoned in Alcatraz since 1934, Al Capone, former Public Enemy No. 1, has showed signs of mental 4lerangement, according to prison physicians, who diagnosed the ail ient as softening of the brain. Farm Group Complete 1937 Practice Work Question: Does it pay to mate purebred birds to mongrel hens? Answer: While this is quite a com mon practice in small farm flocks, the result are usually questionable as the mongrel hens are usually so cross bred or inbred that it is difficult to build good qualities in them. The best method is not to mate the mongrel birds. If they are good layers it might be well to keep them for egg production, but the new flock should be started with purebred baby chicks. As the old hens fall .off 'introduction they should be sold or used at home as food. All eggs from this flock should be sold for consumption, and not for hatching purposes.

Answer: If plenty of pasture is available and the animal is in good flesh no other feed is necessary than free access to a suitable mineral mix ture. If the cow is in Door flesh or the is short the animal should have':' enough concentrates to put her in good flesh before freshening. All high protein .'grains and most of the corn should be removed from the grain ration about two weeks before freshening.

The records show that forty-nine uoya Degan me course last year and and that forty -seven of them, as 98 per cent, completed their home su pervised practice work, or projects. One hundred eighty-four projects were completed, giving an average of four projects per boy. Some boys had only two or three projects, but many had in excess of six and several enr ried eight to nine different enterpris es. The siZj, of projects varied with the individual boy and his farm con ditions. Quite a few projects were limited to only a few acres while others had many acres One of the most ideal .and well balanced projec ts consisted of the fol lowing: ) acres corn, 2 hogs, acres soil improvement crop, '-i acre tobacco, !)( acres pasture, 2 beef animals, R! dairy cows, 2 acre rt. and 1 acre'1 sorghum. The total for the 74 boys was 1 "i, 1 "There's profit in sheep." L. I. Case, extension specialist in animal husbundry at State College, made this statement after looking over records which sheen trrowers from all parts of North Carolina kept during 1937. Sixty-one complete records were submitted to State College which show an average gross income per ewe of $9.3fi. These incomes range from as low as ?3.54 to as high as i i.o.i, i ase said. ine records indicated that Pied mont and mountain farmers were able to secure a larger income from shoen it - man were tarmers in the Eastern nuvi oi me state. However, Case declared. "1 be lieve that if we had accurate cost records, the East would show an equal or greater net income than our moun tain farmers because eastern farmers are able to keep their flocks during uic w nicer at a much lower cost." Of the fil records turned in, 23 show ed a gross income per ewe of more than $10. With one exception, all of these 23 floc ks produced better than a 100 per cent lamb crop, or in othei words, more than one lamb was raised to market age and weight for each ewe. Top honors among the records went to the King brothers, Route 2, Statesville, who mucin a gross in come of $ 17.53 per ewe. They rained 15 lambs from 10 ewes, controlled stomach worms by treatment and the rotation of pastures, and docked their lambs. The wool clip averaged over eight pounds per head in 1037 and Drought an average Of 42 eenrs per pound. Fines Creek Club To Honor Husbands Tht regular monthly meeting of the Fines Creek demonstration club was held with Mrs. Wiley Noland, for an all day meeting on Thursday. It was decided to hold th. novt meeting at th0 Fines Creek school building, on Saturday, March the 12th, at six o'clock in thc evening, at which time the members would honor their husbands with a dinner.
