An important, and often neglect | ed, part in range sanitation* lies ir adequately cleaning the area be neath the shelter when it is moved i This area should be carefullj scraped and the material collected removed to a place where chickens will not range for a year or so. It is also suggested that the area be limed. This aids in neutralizing the acid condition developed by the droppings and makes the pullets somewhat reluctant to eat on the area. j IR.

County Agent Wayne L. Frank lin said the new booklet may be obtained free by writing Office ol Information. U. S. Department ol Agriculture. Washington 25, D. C.,* and asking for Bulletin 2071. The publication stresses the need for storing only grain with a low moisture content, outlines the basic requirements of a safe storage structure, and points out that some types of structures can be ; used for other purposes, when not 1 needed for storing grain. "Methods and equipment for reducing mois ture content of grain to a safe level and maintaining it during storage i are described also. Only clean grain should be plac ed in storage, said the county agent. Cracked grain, screenings chaff, and dust prqvide favorable conditions for development of in-1 sect infestations. Even clean grain with a safe moisture content can't be stored and forgotten. Occasion al inspection is necessary to de tect leaks, insect infestations, and j moist, molding or caking grain. _ 1 The apparent decline in the pro- , tein content of corn in recent years may be a result of lower maxi mum summer temperature* that 1 have prevailed in the corn belt since the mid-1930's. i North Carolina small grain farm ers will be able to more than pay for any storage facilities erected \ (his summer with profits made by 11 holding their grain off the mid- I harvest market. ; I North Carolina Chick Placements Down 8 Pet. A total of 1,132.000 chicks were placed with broiler producers in the Central - Western commerclah broiler areas of North Carolina during the week ended May 29. Placements last week were 8 per cent helow the 1.227.000 chicks placed a week earlier and compare j with 1,111.000 placed during the comparable period a year earlier.! Placements in the Central area j amounted to 800.000 compared with ! 857.000 nlaced the week before aDd 791.000 placed during the compar- I able period in 1953. In the Western 1 area there were 332.000 chicks plac ed last week compared with 370,000 the week before and 320,000 plac ed during the same week a year ago. Hatcherymen serving the North Carolina broiler industry set 1. 907.000 eges last week compared with 1.887.000 set the week before' and 1.508,000 set during the same week last year. Wheat acreage for harvest in' North Carolina this year, 316,000 acres, is the lowest since 1930. j when Tar Heel farmers harvested 265,000 acres Cows on North Carolina farms : produced 161 million pounds of ( milk during April, 1954, some 17 million pounds more than was pro duced during April a year earlier. Production of early Irish pota- \ ioes in North Carolina in 1954 is currently estimated at 3,075,000 twshels. 17 per cent below last gear's output, I LIVESTOCK AT AUCTION * I ? Every Thursday 1 P.M.

Insects Hurt State Crops The latest weather and crop re port made by the Crop Reporting Service at Raleigh, 'for the week ending May 29, speaks of unfav orable Weather and damage to crops by insects and blight. The report reads: The general condition of spring row crops was somewhat unfavor able as of May 29. Extended un seasonably cool weather coupled with heavy insect attack was tak ing a heavy toll, particularly with respect to stands of corn and cot ton. Cotton, which was earlier up to a good stand and making rapid progress, has become badly dis colored and is literally dying in many areas. Thus, considerable re planting will be necessary. Corn? (particularly young corn?is , suf fering from attacks of cutworms and other insects. Considerable re planting will also be necessary for this crop. Tobacco was progressing very slowly last week. Perhaos the worst menace of all to tobacco, however, is the widespread field infestation of blue mold. Small grains are ao proaching maturity in practicallv all sections of the state and remain in good shape. There is some lodg ing reported in small grains in sev eral areas. The initial planting of tobacco corn, cotton and peanuts over thp state is virtually completed. Plant ing of soybeans is nearly finished in easern areas; however, a sizeable proportion of the crop is yet to be planted in the Piedmont and moun tains. SOIL MOISTURE According to weather-crops cor respondents. soil moisture is fav orable in practicallv all areas of the state. Onlv a few isolated are?? in the mountains are too dry, whit" a few scattered areas in the lower Piedmont and Coastal Plains are nn the wet side. On an average, the M?ht rainfall received last wpeV vires ins) about adeotiate to main lain favorable soil conditions. pi avrivn ACTiviTtrq TORACCO: The initial trans I" TJ * ~~ """" just about completed in all sec tions. Most planting activities for this crop are now confined to reset ting in an attemppt to secure opti mum stanefc. CORN: Likewise, the first plant ing of corn has generally been com pleted for somfc time. Due fo losses sustained by young corn from cool weather and insect damage, consid erable replanting will be necessary In fact, in many instances, the crop is being plowed up and completely planted over again. North Carolina farmers produced 449.000 bales of cotton 1500 pounds gross weight) during 1953. some 21 per cent below the 1952 crop. a 1/ I W toy M.llond, starring for Gi. on rodio and TV.

When young Edwards found the arge litter recently he discovered it the same time that the sow had jrovided "too few dinner plates". Vow the 4-H'er is bottle-feeding he "extra" pigs. A. J. Jones, county agent for Ihe Agricultural Extension Serv ice. says that so far young Edwards is doing a good job. The sow that Farrowed the 17-pig litter, said va consiaerauie iiihui ieij >?> Greene County last year after pro ducing three consecutive 1'0-pig litters. The sow, with her three 10-pig litters last year provided the in spiration for a widely distributed news story on "The Pig That Bought a Cow". Young Ed\yards purchased a purebred dairy cow to provide his family with a fresh supply of milk with tHe money he made selling the pigs. American dairy herds broke an other monthly record in April, 1954, when they produced 11.3 bil lion pounds of milk, 4 per cent more than in April a year earlier. DAY CAMP ?
