P. Libeau, poultry and egg marketing specialist, State College Extension Service. Small farms and part-time farms are in a particularly good position to take advantage of this favorable I poultry outlook, Libeau says, since I poultry is one of the most suitable 1 enterprises on such farms. As the peak production of eggs is left behind, egg prices in the next few months are expected to strengthen and move up, he rea sons. Libeau bases his forecast ' partly on the following evidence. ' 1. Normal seasonal pattern points to an increase in price Grade A large eggs are usually 15 to 20 cents higher in October than in March in North Carolina. Other forces should make this scion's price rise greater than usual. 2. Hens started laying-.earlier in the fall of 1954; this means that they should moult or stop laying earlier this summer. 3. For each of the past six j months, fewer pullets have been ! started for laying flock replace-! ments than a vear earlier. 4. More eggs may be used for broiler production the rest of the year than in 1954. thereby strength ening demand. 5. Consumers will have a little more money. 6. Many factors that helped demoralize buyer prices last fall will not be present this fall. lina as the "egg law"?

Try New Varieties Of Vegetables By ROBERT SCHMIDT It should be sale now to plant most warm season vegetable crops anywhere In the state east of the mountains. It is true that I have had tomato plants killed by frost in Wake County as late as April 25th but that is unusual. Also, if the plants have been well hardened a light frost will not harm them. Tomato, eggplant, and pepper plants should be. hardened before transplanting to the field by with holding their water supply; that is. by keeping them on the dry side for a few days. Try some of the new bean vari eties this year. Wade and Contend er are excellent varieties and they are almost immune to mosaic which sometimes reduces the production of Tendergreen considerably. Im proved Stringless Blue Lake is an excellent pole bean, especially for canning and freezing, and it is ab solutely stringless. It is time to talk about sweet corn again. There are a few gar deners who still plant early vari eties of field corn for roasting ears because the ears are large and there are not many earworms. However, once you have given real sweet corn a fair trial you will not be satisfied with field corn. There is no comparison in edible quality Recommended varieties for both fresh use and for canning or freez ing are Seneca Chief. Golden Cross Bantam and Ioana. These are all yellow varieties. Corn is mostly wind pollinated and therefore it is best to plant in blocks of two or three rows rather than a single row. Sweet corn is of best quality if used as soon as harvested. If it cannot be used immediately, it should be kept on ice oT in the re frigerator, otherwise it will lose a large part of its sugar content in a few hours and will taste like field corn. The emphasis is still being put tm -feehox - sizfe -watermeloins.

Drilling of grass and clover seed at a depth of one-fourth j inch and placement of fertilizer 1 in bands one inch below the i seed, with the soil packed over I the seed, may be an answer to the problem of making better use of our seed supply. Tests are under way to de velop better methods of plant ing these crops, by the U.S.D.A. at Beltsville, Maryland. The first season's results, as re ported in CROPS AND SOILS by R. E. Wagner and W. C. Hulburt, were decidedly favor able to such precision place ment of both seed and fertilizer. Results of these tests, which are being confirmed by the sec ond year's work, tend to dis courage use of broadcast secd ings and methods of fertiliza tion now commonly used by farmers. It is indicated that re sults probably would fluctuate under varying fertility and moisture conditions, but that they would nearly always be favorable. The advantage of fertilizer placement in a band below the grass seed became evident soon after the plantings ,were made in September of 1952. Although seedlings in all plots were up within a few days, those in which the fertilizer had been placed in bands one inch be low the seed developed most rapidly and weeds were less prominent. Plants in drill rows eight inches apart, with fertilizer an inch below the seed, grew rap idly and made growth enough to survive the winter, but plants between fertilizer rows devel oped slowly, many were win ^r-killcd, and rone of them con loupe has become quite popular In the home garden. Hills may be spaced as close as five feet apart. A fault ?f Hi's variety is that it becomes over-ripe very quickly. The best of them all, in my opin ion, is the Japanese Seedless !nel-, I on.

Early development of seedling plants where the fer tilizer was placed one inch be low and one inch to the side of the seed did not equal those where the plants had access to a band of fertilizer one inch below the seed. Data collected on weed con tent of the harvested forage showed that where both seed and fertilizer were drilled, prac tically no weeds were in evi dence regardless of the rates used. On the other hand, where seed or fertilizer were broad cast, v eeds were a real prob lem and especially so at low rates of seeding and fertiliza tion. cellent quality.

Probably not, but ( according to Mamie Whlsnant, State College extension home man- ( agement specialist, washing blinds needn't be considered such a chore And here's how she recommends going about the job. First of all, dust your blinds weekly with special brushes or with vacuum cleaner equipment. Dust ing them regularly won't eliminate that job of wash'ng that has to be done, but it wili make the wash ing easier when the time comes for it. Wash each slat with a cloth or sponge using warn suds or one of the new "no-rinse" cleaners. Vene tian blinds ma^ be placed in a bath- i tub of suds where the slats and | tapes may be scrubbed with a brush. A detergent cuts the dirt " quickly and makes scrubbing much easier. Some will require little or no finslng (read and follow the di rections given on the container.) Or if you prefer, you can hang your Venetian blinds over the clothes line and go after them with the hose. You may find this.meth od easier?at least it'll be less back bending. Re-hang yoUr Venetian blinds while they're still wet and stretch them firmly. If the blinds don't have bottom hooks to stretch and hold them dqwn to prevent tape . shrinkage, weight them down by J placing books '6n the bottom slat. When the tapes become badly worn < and soiled, the- best thing to do is < to replace tben\. j I Swine Brings Tenant Farmer 'A Few Nickels" I Braskit Morrison, Monroe, Route 6. isn't saying exactly how many but he admits that "hogs will make a few nickels for a man." Morrison, a tenant farmer, has sold U hogs this month and will sell nine more soon, according to P. E. Bazemore. Extension Service county agent in Union. Morrison's hogs range from 180 to 230 pounds. He has Increased his net profits often by lowering costs. For ex ample, he's found that electric fences for his pastured hogs are he cheapest (or him in the long run. Since installing them, none of his hogs have roamed from the renced-ln area. Morrison figures that a tenant Farmer probably needs more pas ture area than he is willing to fence in, but 1* he uses electric fences, he can easily fence a large area and move the fences from one pasture to another. "If a man can't afford regular fence wire, he can always get the next best thing," Morrison declares. Since 1945, farmers have receiv ed from 44 to 52 cents of the dol lar consumers spend for food in retail stores, as marketing charges* have risen steadily. Agricultural marketing special ists of the USDA report that on February 10, total meat production was estimated at 26 billion pounds, up 400 million for 1954. Angus Sale Set For May 18th A consignment of 50 registered Aberdeen-Angus cattle will be sold at auction In the 3rd Annual West ern N. C. Aberdeen-Angus Sale at Enka, on Wednesday, May 18, start ing at l:(g) p.m. A pre-sale buffet style banquet will be held the evening of May 17 at the EftKa Lake Club at 6:30 for the get-together and buffet at 7:30 p.m. Sale headquarters will be the mountain terrace motel on tiwys. 19 and 23. Seven bulls and 43 females will sell. This consignment was select ed from leading North Carolina Angus herds by the Sale inspection Committee which includes Sam Buchanan, Beef Cattle Extension Specialist, State College, Ed Hol lowell. Southern Cottonseed Pro ducts Assn., and Van W. Holsapple, N. C. Angus Association fleldman. Of the 43 heifers, 24 will sell bred to some of the new top herd sires in the state and 19 will sell open. Farm operators in the U. S. realized 4 net Income of $11,984 million during 1954, according to preliminary estimates. This was 10 per cent less than they received in 1953. Stocks of corn on hand January 1 amounted to 2,799 million bush els, four per cent higher than a year ago, and a new record for the date. Dairy products in this country are expected to be the largest on record this year, according to pres ent indications.

Don't forget to ask or Purina's Dairy booklet. It's ree, of course. Why It Pays To Creep Feed Calves Here are 6 good reasons why it pays to creep feed calves: 1. Calves gain faster when gress and cow's milk are supplemented. 2. Many feeders report 60 to 80 lbs. of extra body weight by creep feeding. 3. Creep fed calves dress out high* er, often bring a market premium. 4. Creep fed calves sell 1 to 2 months earlier. Rests the cow, helps her condition. 5. Creep feeding helps uniformity of calves. Poor milkers eat more, keep weight up. 6. Creep fed calves usually put on enough extra weight to pay for feed and show more profit than non-creep fed calves. Your supply of grain determines which creep feed ration is best for you. Ask us to advise you. Showing Or Selling?
