THE NEWS^OVBNAL THURSDAY, JANUARY 26; 1950 ‘Y ■ mt. State CoDe^ Answers Im^ Farm Qiiesti«is QUESTION: Does' body weight affect the ability of bois to lay? ANSWER: R. iS. DearstjTie, head of the poultry d^>artment at State College, says: produce eggs intensively over a long per iod of time leqoines fliat tiie bird have an ample res«ve of food materials stored in the body. If this is repleted through heavy laying, poor ^iet, parasite infec tions or by any other cause, it is a danger signal. Be cause of the necessity for maintaining body weight, it is advisable for the poultrj-man to check weights at frequent interv^als during the sea son of lay. Probably the simplest and most practical way to do this is to feel the breasts of §bout 5 to 10 per cent of the birds after they have gone to roost at night. Should they be going li^t, sti mulation of feed consumption should be practiced. This is usual ly brought about by the use of lights or by feeding wet mash or pellets as a supplement. Care should be taken, however, that the birds do not become overfat,^ for such birds do not perform up to standard.” QUESTION; Please give me some information about Dixie Bright 27 tobacco. ANSWER: This is a new var iety released last month for the first time. Developed by plant scientists of the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station in cooperation with the U. S. De partment of Agriculture, Dixie Bright 27 has high resistance to Granville wilt. It is an improve ment over Oxford 26, the "present widely used wilt-resistant var iety.

The fact that the plant does not grow so tall as that of Oxford 26 means that the new variety is not so likely to be damaged by winds. In 1948 at two locations, the aver age value of Dixie Bright 27 was $777 per acre. That of Oxford 26 was $630. At 10 locations in 1949. the average value of Dixie Bright was $726, while that of Oxford 26 at 15 locations was $549 per acre. QUESTION: How can brown rot in peaches be controlled? ANSWER: Brown rot caused heavy losses to North Carolina peach growers last year, and now is the time to plan control of the disease for the 1950 crop. Re search shows that the modern way to reduce brown rot in peach es is to hold blight in the blos soms to a minimum. This can be done through the application of at least four sulfur sprays, begin ning with the first bloom and re peated every three days during the blossom stage. 0 the last of March, and indications now sere that there will be a scsurcity of broilers on the msurket between March 20 smd April 15. Thus farmers who put in chicks now can expect to realize a fair return for their labor and invest ment. “Failure to put in broiler chicks now because the price of broilers is unfavorable only tends to dis rupt the supply of hatching eggs, baby chicks, and the poultry pro gram in general,” says Parrish. Assistant State 4-H Leaedr Named Continued Buying Of Chicks Advised THE BEST COFFEE IN TOWN — 5c A CUP Elk Restaurant Anthony G. Drake, Mgr. Eoultrymen should not let cur rent low prices for broilers dis courage them from buying chicks now for future broiler produc tion, says C. F. Parrish, in charge of extension poultry work at State College. Parrish says it is to be expected that the broiler market will be come saturated occasionally and prices will decline below produc tion costs. But poultrymen should realize, he says, that such a con dition is only temporary, and that it is necessary to produce broil ers every week in the year if market outlets are to be main tained. The State College poultryman also points out that broiler chicks going into the brooder house now will not be ready for sale until Appointment of Lyman B. Dixon, assistant farm agent In Northhampton County, as assist ant State 4-H Club leader for the State College Extension Service was announced this week by L. R. Harrill. State 4-H club leader.

Dixon shortly thereafter was appointed assist ant agent in Northampton. He is married to the former Miss Elva Deane Barrow of Jack- son.
