With Poultry Giyenl I Poultrymen oi North Carolina face 11989 with a knowledge that their in |dustry is in a relatively sound pos ition and has required little or no sub | sidy. This state is not producing | poultry products up to its market | Therefore, there is room for expanc I sion. c. J. Maupin, poultry specialist of | the State College Extension Service, | has compiled a list of ten ways for | North Carolina farmers and poultry men to succeed with poultry during 11939. Here they are: 1. buy eirly chicks; 2, buy chicks of good ????; |a, brood chicks In dean, weU-digfctedCr weil-ventilated quarters; 4, feed mash | from the first fced ft* market ofr iaa-: tne layers, ?, rou?ww Possibly the greatest w?bk? wmmm farted lay! Too, most poultrymen select young hens and' young tqms fron\ the spring flock to hold over as breeders.' Only by liberal feeding do they reach JfOD growth by the time they start | laying, the specialist added, / Breeding hirds will keep in good I condition with green feed such as clovet, Italian rye grass or plenty of sunshine, 4 good growing mash, scratch grain," plenty of water and gravel or some other insoluble Jgrit. A recommended m**li is: Bran, 12 parts; middlings, 12 parts; ground oats, 12 parta; ground yellow corn, 33 parts; alfalfa leaf meal, 6 puts; meat scraps, 18 parts; dried milk, 10 parts; and salt, 1 part This ration, together with scratch grain, water, and grit, should be con tinued until at least one mOnth before the hens are expected to start laying, after which time a laying ration should be provided. When winter weather is severe and birds must be confined, the growing mash should contain 2 per cent cod liver oiL To preserve the Vitamin A I of the cod liver oil, it should not be I mixed with the mash for more thaw two weeks in advance?orre week is better. Control of Bine Mold Explained In Bulletin Blue mold is one of the most ser ious problems of tobacco growers of this and other istatss.' To provide a. better understanding of blue moid, al so called "downy mildew," and to de scribe effective methods to ?v>mbat it, > report has been compiled co operatively by the representatives of Duke University^ the agricultural ex I perim ent stations and extension ser vices of North Carolina, South Caro lina and Virginia, and the N. C. De partment of Agrioilture. This report is contained in Exten sion Circular No. 229, entitled "Blue Mold of t Tobacco and Its Control," which is available for free distribu tion upon request to the Agricultural Editor of State College, Raleigh. The circular lists the symptoms of the disease, both, in seed beds and in the field; tells the causes of the di sease and the factors affecting its development, and describes control treatments. Three methods of treatment are listed: (1) by bensol (benzene) fumi gation, (2) by paradichlorbenzol (P. D. B.) fumigation, and (8) by sprays. In explanation of the difficulties en countered in controlling blue mold, the report says: "Treatments uded for diseases of other crops wery not entirely satisfactory when applied to tobaceb and therefore, new methods of procedure had to be devised. The grower shqnlfl bear in mind that the methods outlined here are the beat available at the present time and that if improved methods appear they will be made available." The first outbreak of blue mold on cultivated tobacco in the United States occurred in 1921, when it was noted in Florida and Georgia. For some unknown reason it did not again attract attention until 10 years later When it reappeared in Florida and Georgia and spread rapidly into all toharaojro$idng states east of the Mississippi ftiver except Wisconsin. Down n?? ? . ? Receipts from American farm mar ketings in the first 11 months of 193g were estimated at 86,468,000,000 or 13 per cent less than the 17,440,-. 000,000 repotted for the same period in 1987; % ' ? v v Liberal . .Liberal consumption of dairy pro ducts is in prospect for the winter months, says John Arey, of State College, in-quoting a report of the ULJ3. Bureau of Agricultural Eco nomics. "" . The i&arteter of the people of Farmville is more important than the rise of its population, but there are not maay-who believe it. ) , , w.?, , ??? Good livestock feedersunanimous ly consider oati as one of the best available feecsfor livestock, and par ticularly so for yrnmg growing ani mate the increasing knowledge of the value of oata ls evidenced by the Clot that ' North Carolina farmers seeded for grain 808488 acres to this crop kr 1988, or an increase of 25 per cent over 1987. Oats are more balky than any Other of the cereal grains, bat in common with them are deficient in protein. However, this deficiency causes no worry to the Southern far-' mer, says Earl H. Hostetler, profes sor of animal husbandry at State College, because he has. available at a reasonable price protein-rich sup plements such as cotton seed meal, soybean meal and peanut meal To obtain the most value from oats in livestock rations, it is important to supplement them with these pro tein-rich feeds that contain nutrients which are lacking in oats. Prof. Hoe tcfier says. They are the safest grain for work stock and young ani mals, and most useful in starting cat tle and sheep on feed. In the entire Cotton Belt, more than 4,000,000 acres were seeded to oats in 1938. Undoubtedly, this greateV acreage is seeded in oats not: only because of their value as grain but also because of their value, either alone or as a "nurse" crop, for winter grazing and for hay. New fall sown varieties that are more resistant to cold weather have also contributed to the increasing popular ity of this crop, A suggested daily ration for idle horses and mules is: Oats, two lbs.; cottonseed meal or cake, two lbs.; and hay or bundle stover, 12 lbs. For animals at light work, the oats are increased to four pounds, the hay cut to six pounds, and six pounds of cotton seed hulls are added. / Decline * ' Foreign trade experts of the U. S. Department of Agriculture report that this season's foreign purchases of American cotton are the smallest in 20 years and 41 per cent less than a year ago. Plant Fruit Trees In Durham County, 4-H club mem bers who have selected fruit grow ing as their projects for 1989, have planted 87 peach -trees, 82 apple trees, 3 pears, 2 plums, and 50 raspberry plants. Others plan to order trees to start home orchards. Long Faces Not all tobacco farmers are satis fied with file loss of the control pro gram. In Rockingham County, sev eral growers have discussed the ques tion with much concern and there are many "long faces" over the price prospect. This same situation is re ported by observers in various parts of the State. Some growers who voted against the quota feature of the program said they never expect ed to see it defeated but simply wished to register a protest against their Wn personal quotas.

To de termine the influence upon spinning quality of inch physical properties of the cotton fiber as length, strength and fineness^; -drag" or clinging power, and gall thickness, the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station at State College has con ducted experiments. Jerry H. Moore, cotton technolo gist of the station, has announced re sults to data from the tests in Tech nical Bulletin No. 68, entitled 'The Relation of Certain Physical Fiber Properties in Improved Cotton Veri ties to Spinning Quality." He sums up the progress report by saying "in selecting cotton plants for the parpoose of breeding strains hav ing fiber properties associated with high spinning va .ue, the cotton breed er should select for longer staple length, smaller diameter, relatively high fiber weight in strains having similar small diameters, and a rea sonable amount "of strength." Five relationships to spinning quality were deducted from the ex periments, as follows: (1) a smaller fiberk diameter is associated with higher yarn strength; (2) higher unit fiber weight is associated with stronger yarns, and an increasing number of fibers is associated with weaker yarns; (8) in a small way, an increase in length of staple seems to be consistently associated with an increase in yarn strength; (4) the average breaking load per fiber does not show any definite relationship to yarn strength; and (5) an increasing percentage of thin-walled fibers may be associated with a higher yarn strength in one season's growth, and be a negligible factor in another sea son.
