i patriotic ins smart ■an to take advantage of this situa ^ " f ^ y"*? are rood . . . Demand for broilers is tremendous and in IMS may exceed anything we have ewer seen. Because of the meat shortage, folks will have to "share the meat" next year!, and under rationing will get about 15 pounds lees per pereon than before. To help o££m* this shortage, Secretary of Agriculture Wkkard has called upon poultrymen to produce 200,000,000 EXTRA 8 pound broilers aad fryers in 194S— an increase of 19 per centt . . . And that nmr be only the beginning. If people are going to get aa much meat as thy*re accustomed to, Amerisa may need 2 billion extra pounds of poultry meat next year! .

Second, if Mp have the necessary labor, materials and equipment, ~ you asy want to ex pand your business. Lots of good, experienced • broiler growers are do ing it.

But Mr. Mymtt is happiest about the influrence that Kenneth's 4-H Club work has had on his own dwry operations.'*.? .5 * "I think oor commercial herd has been greatly benefitted by Kenneth's 4-H Club work," said Mr. Myatt. "The herd ha» Shown great improve ment in production, and a tremendous improvement hi type. The 4-H Club, offers a splendid opportunity for father and son to work together to. the same end." Continuing, Mr. Myatt said: "We st&rtec our dairy herd in 1924 with, one grade cow. Ten years later, when Kqpaeth started his 4»H dairy calf dub project, we had 45 head of cattle, mostly grade Jerseys. Ken neth's first calf was 'Commandress Dairy Maid,' a purebred registered Tnnmii allHMD/. a . ^. - "As time went along, we became more interested -in purebred Jerseys, rather than in grade stock. This was, we think, due to the part the 4-H Club played. Now we have 60 oowa in our nerd, and most of them are purebreds." • L. R. Harrill, 4-H Club leader of the State College Extension Service, reported that Kenneth now owns 12 registered Jerseys, five of which are in production. One of his cows, "Spotted Royal, Commandress," pro duced 7>43 pounds of milk and 897 I pounds of butterfat last year. The production of hogs in 1943 will greatly exceed 1942 production, which was more than any other year, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture's December pig crop report. FRESNO, CALIF.—Dried figs from the San Joaquin Valley of S California are helping housewives all orer the nation aohre their aagar rationing problems. With a 66 per cent natural sugar content figs make possible a big reduction in usual sugar requirements of delicious desserts, such as the old-fashioned Bread Pudding illus trated above. Eaten out of hand, figs are also an ideal confection for satisfying the sweet tooth of children and grown-upa alike. STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS QUESTON: How many lights are needed in the poultry house to "ex tend the. day" and increase winter egg production? - ANSWER: The rule, aays the Ex tension poultry office at State Col lege, is to provide one watt of light for every feet erf floor space. This means that a 20x20 foot poultry house needs 80 watts of lights. Two 40-watt lamps will do the job. The Extension poultrymen suggest that the lights be placed high enough so that people can walk under them easily. The light should be directed downward evenly over the house. Poultry house lighting normally re sults in each hen producing 4 to 6 more eggs per month during the short days of winter. j QUESTION. «-/How much grain should be fed dairy cows during the winter? ANSWER; This depends, says John A. Arey, Extension dairyman of N. C. State College, on the quan tity and quality of jooughage avail able, and on the percentage of fat in the milk produced. Grain should be looked upon as a supplement to roughage. If the cows. receive ail the good quality roughage they will consume without waste, a Jersey or Guernsey should get slightly more grain than a Holstem or Ayrshire. FSr instance, a Guernsey or Jersey producing 20 pounds of milk daily needs about 6 pounds of grain per day, whereas a Holstem or Ayrshire1 producing 20 pounds of milk daily needs about-4 pounds of grain . QUESTION: How many pounds of edible meat oan be expected from various types of meat animals? ANSWER: Animal htvbandman of N. C. State College report that a hog dresses out about 76 percent of its live weight. In other words, ■bout 188 pounds of edible mwt is obtained from a 260-pound hog. Beef dresses out 63 percent of its live weight, veal 61 percent, Lamb 47 percent .and chickens from 66 to 76 - percent. Lard from a 260-pound hoc will average 26 to SO pounds, or tSf to 12 percent of its live weight What tyotiBttf WttU 4wab bonds, :;;ii Army motor (niter lodu much like any other automobil< trailer which may be seen oa the highways or in the tourist's camps The Army's trailers are used a* traveling hospitals, dental clinics and testing laboratories.
