Answer: There is little to gained by feeding moist mash continuously through the year, but it has an im portant place in feeding laying hens during the summer months. It will stimulate production in laying hens from June until October by increasing the consumption of animal protein and producing an appetizing effect on the birds when egg production is subnormal. The best time to feed the mash is about two o'clock each day. Three pounds of the regular laying mash moistened with hot wa ter or milk for each 100 birds will give excellent results. Scene of Annual Indianapolis Race Classic May 30 Question: When should I select tobacco plants for next year's seed? Answer: Select the seed plants before the tobacco is topped. Select the plants that are typical of the variety planted with the leaves well spaced on the stalk. Bag the select ed plants in 14 pound paper bag just before the first bloom opens to pre vent cross-pollination. Prune the branches of the seed pod to three or four in order to give room for de velopment under the bag and apply the bud worm bait to the seed pods before bagging. One plant will pro duce about one-half ounce of seed and, for best results, the plants should again be selected after the tobacco is matured.

Answer: The sheep should be dipped from ten days to two weeks after shearing when all cuts made at hsearihg having healed. Usually one dipping is sufficient, but if any ticks, lice or mites are present, the dipping should be repeated ten days later to destroy any parasites that may have hatched from eggs since the first dipping. The treatment should be made in the morning of a warm sunny day so that the fleece will get thor oughly dry before night. Any stand ard din mixture will give good re sults if directions are followed. COUNTY AGENTS POULTKY- SUGGESTIONS FOR June , . Separate the Pullets From the Cock erels The pullets should be separated from the cockerels just as early as the sex can be determined. As hot weath er approaches, the brood needs more room and aside from that fact, the pullets will grow out much faster if the cockerels are removed early.

Teach Pullets to Roost Early If roost poles have not already been provided for the pullets, do this at once. In case ample roosting fa cilities have been provided but are not being used by all the pullets, it will -be time well spent to teach these pullets to roost. This is easily done by provided low roosting racks in the brooder house after the chicks are three or four weeks old. Such racks should slope from the floor near the brooder to about one foot high at the back of the house. The rack frames should be Covered over with one inch mesh poultry netting and the roost poles placed on top of the wire. The chicks will climb on the rack during the day and in a few days will use the perch poles at night also. By visiting the brooder house after dark two or three 'flights in succes sion and placing the chicks that are not using the roosting rack on it, it is easy to get the entire brood using the roost poles. The rack should bo built so as to prevent the chicks from having access to the droppings. Summer Range Shelters for Young Stock The best health and profit insu rance you can purchase for the pul let crop is the use of the summer range shelters on clean ground, with ample green feed, fresh clean water and shade provided. These shelters can be constructed very inexpensive ly and easily. They are of A-shaped construction with wire sides, a wire floor and galvanized tin roof. The shelter is constructed in two parts. The foundation, which is covered with wire to act as a floor, is made in one piece and the shelter proper in an other piece. The foundation section can be used for a wire sun porch at the brooder house during the brood ing season. The size of this shelter is 9xl0 feet, and will care for 100 pullets. .,.'',: lice.

C. The summer range shelter should be fllaced out away from the brooder house and laying house on land not used by chicks for the past two years. An orchard, corn and soybean field, lespedeza, or alfalfa . field, is ideal for the purpose. Soybeans planted in rows furnish a great deal of green feed and fine shade. The plan for constructing these summer range shelters can be secured from your county agent or home agent free of charge. Parasites Examine the poultry houses for red mites and the birds for lice often dur ing the summer months. Use dis carded motor oil on roosts for mites and sodium fluoride on the birds for lice. ; Nicotine sulphate may be ap plied to the roost poles to get the PREPARING WOOL FOR MARK- ' ET. : -'.. Wool is one of the valuable pro ducts of the sheep industry in North Carolina and often brings in enough income to pay for keeping the flock thus leaving the lamb crop as a clear profit. Sheep should be sheared as soon as the weather is sufficienty warm to assure the comfort of the sheep after the wool is removed. Shear sheep only when the fleeces are absolutely dry. The shearing should be done on a smooth surface that is dry and free from litter or other foreign substances. Shearing should never be done on the ground. A clean smooth board floor, is the best surface on which to shear. Remove all dirty locks before shearing by "stagging." Clip the heavy locks from each animal and pack them separately; never permit them to be handled in the fleece. , Remove the fleece from the animal in an unbroken condition. If a fleece is broken during shearing the task of lolling and tying it satisfactorily be comes difficult, Roll a fleece with the flesh side out. This side presents a much blighter and more attractive appear ance than does the weather side. When rolling, spread the fleece with the flesh side down, fold in from the sides and ends, then roll from the tail to neck. This method will bring the shoulders and side, or the best parts of the fleece, on the outside. Do not roll the fleece too tightly: fleeces that are lofty or springy are preferred. Tie each fleece separately. A fleece should not be sent to market untied. Paper twine is approved by all branches of the wool industry and may be purchased in cut lengths of 8 'a feet, as well as in balls, hanks and tubes. Never use sisal, rough juto, cf hemp twines for tying fleeces. Their use for this purpose is the source of serious troubles in manufacturing processes and of defects in the fin ished product. Wools tied with these objectionable twines are penalized in the form of lower price. Use only enough paper twine to tie the fleece securely. ; Once the fleece is securely tied,' additional twine is objectionable and often brings a discount in price. Usually passing the twine once around each way of the fleece is sufficient. Fleeces that are hurry, seedy, cot ted, or closely matted, and fleeces that -are dead, black, or gray are classed as "rejections." They should be kept separate at all times from the good, clear wool. Place the prepared fleeces in a reg ulation wool sack or pile in a dry place with a covering of burlap or similar material to protect them. Th regulation wool sack is 7 feet high and 3 feet wide, and weighs SM pounds when new. Be sure that the sacks are clean on the inside. Fleeces should never be stored in a damp place and should never be placed di rectly on the ground.
