New Poultry
Equipment Bulletin
Is Published
One of the chief factors in a successful
poultry enterprise is good,
equipment, says, Clifton F. Parrish,
head of the poultry Extension staff
at N. (X' State College. Such equipment
will help increase egg production
and a large part of $ can be
made'on the home farm.
To help farm,people meet their
poultry production goals in the Foodfor-Freedom
program, Parrish has
cooperated with" Prof. R. S. Raarstyne,
head of the State College
Poultry Department, and other members
of tbg Extension staff, to prepare
a new farm bulletin; titled:
"Equipment for Poultry."
The publication is War Series Extension
Bulletin No. 5, and is available
free to citizens-of North Carolina
Ufcon request, by .name and
number, to the Agricultural Editor,
N. C. State College, Raleigh.
Among the pieces of poultry equipment
described in detail in.tiie bulletin
are brooders, feed hoppers, waterem,
range shelters, nests, roosting
racks, catching hooks, nets, screens,
an iorineretorB with which to dispose
of dasd birds. Photographs' and
drawings to illustrate the desirable
types of equipment and plans for
building most of the equipment on
the farm, are contained in the publication.
"Good- equipment makes for better
health and higher production of the
farm flock," said Parrish. "Regardless
of the importance of good equipment
and its relation to profit, it iB
relatively easy to find a flock owner
needed on a
at heme."

J QUESTION: " fiow much salt
should be used in coring pork?
ANSWER? E. V. Vestal, affimal
husbandry Extension specialist, says
It m once a common belief that 50
pound* of salt wen necessary for
curing a 260-pound hog. Now it is
realised then is no need to waste
that much salt, and, in addition, the
meat will cure out too salty for good
eating. Last year, Vestal said, he
used 7 pounds of salt, 2 pound, of
brown sugar, and 2 ounces of saltpeter
per 100 pounds of pork and
got excellent cured meat. - 4
QUESTION: Is the use of cottonseed
meal, soybean meal, and peanut
meal to be encouraged in mixed fertilisers
now that nitrogen is short ?/
ANSWER: Supplies of these vegetable
meals are much. greater tiiis
year than ever before, and their tne
in fertilisers should be' encouraged
where econotnlc Conditions justify.
The cost of nitrogen from these
sources is now approximately $4 per
unit greater than that from inorganic
sources, and at this price can'be
justified in any large quantity only
on crops giving a relatively high
return, such as tobacco and track
crops»-;--':" . -• , -
Loans Made On 1942
Wheat Crop In State
More than 400 North Carolina farmars
have pbtained federal loans, to
date, on 91,430 bushels of the 1942
wheat crop, according to W- Herbert
White, Caswell County fanner and
a member of the State AAA Committee.
'
The 'wheat loam are made by
the Commodity Credit Corporation
through county AAA offices, awl
are available on wheat produced oh
any farms operated substantially in
compliance with the AAA program.
North Carolina's loan rate ibis
year has beat set. at $1.37 par bushel
for No. 2 wheat and fl.36 per bushel
for No. 3 wheat, with lower Bates
for corresponding lower grades and
with discounts for garlicly and smutty
grain.
. The 409 loans already made in
North Carolina this year include
27,628 bushels of wheat stored on
farms and 63,802 bushels stored in
commercial warehouses. The. total
amount advanced to producers is
$121,967.44.
Storage of, wheat oil farms for the
purpose of obtaining federal loans is
being permitted for the first time
this year in view of the shortage of
storage space to house the nation's
1942 crop! White said. Producers
scoring wheat en their farms receive
an allowance of seven cents per
bushel in storage fees, and are responsible
for care of the wheat during
the time it is in storage.
Applications for loans may be
made at any county. AAA office
through December 81, 1942: • Ail
loans mature on April 30,. 4948, but
may be called before that time by
the Corporation. During the ported
of the loan, the grower may repay
the loan and reclaim wheat
Warehouse storage costs are assumed
by Commodity Credit Corporation
unless the loan la repaid before maturity.
