Poultrymen Look For Ways To Adjust
To Narrowing Margins Of Profit
Ma^I. n .
jwmi vwwuu puunry producers
this summer ere placing renewed
emphasis on efficient production
practices - one of their most effec
tive weapons in fighting back at
declining profit losses.
Ever mindful of the need for ef
ficiency, the popltrymad ft now sea
rching for those small, obscure
items which, when corrected and
added up, can make a significant
change in the difference in cost of
productloik^ind income. 1
"With the narrowing of margins
of profits, everyone must give more
than passing notice to those factors
which might influence more effi
cient production," observes C. F.
(Chick) Parrish, in charge of ex
tension poultry at North Carolina
State.
Parrish offers some suggestions
that poultrymen might find helpful
in their operation.
1. Are birds, especially in cases
of severe debeaking. acutally get
ting enough mash to maintain body
weight and to produce eggs at a
high rate? "It has boon my observa
tion," said Parrish, that this is
one thing that should be considered
where wellbred birds in healthy con
dition are not producing at a high
rate-around 70 per cent or more.
Possibly an additional feeding of
crumbles or pellets would be Justi
fied."
2. Additional watering space sho
uld be provided during summer
months. Birds consume more water
during hot weather as they attempt
to stay cool. Waterers should be
washed twice dally.
S. Birds normally consume more
feed during the cool morning hours.
Lights may be in order.
4. If new poultry houses are being
planned, insulation should be given
careful consideration. In present
bouses where insulation is difficult,
poultry netting may be placed over
the tie beams and about IS inches
of grain straw placed between it
and the roof. /.
5. Some operators, could afford to
operate sprinklers, on the roof or,
when the humidity is low, loggers
and fans can be operated on the in
side of the houses.
?. The planting iff green crops a
round the bouse, especially where
the sun is reflected into the poultry
houses, can be beneficial. in main
taining a comfortable summertime
temperature for the birds.

<A farmer Is a pretty vulnerable
man as he plies his trade. In a sen
se, he is threatened by loss at every
turn. Violent weather can wipe out
his crop in a matter of minutes.
Market drops can greatly reduce
his profit.
But there's one loss he needn't
sustain. It cost North Carolina far
mers well over six million dollars
in 1961. This is the failure to file
for a gasoline tax refund.
There is a Federal tax of four
cents and a State tax of seven cents
on every gallon of gasoline sold
to the public in North Carolina. The
funds derived in this manner are
being used on Federal and State
roads. But much of the gasoline is
used by farmers goes for non-high
way purposes. Simply by keeping
record*, and by filing an applica
tion, farmers can get most of this
money back.
They are eptityed to a full refund
of four-cents Federal tax on gaso
line used for qpn-highway purposes..
And they can regain she of the sev
en cents paid to the State. Since
one cent of the State gas tax is
charged to pay the highway bond
debt, it is not refundable.
From July 1 thorugh September
30, farmers can file for a refund
covering the fiscal year ended June
30, 1963. Farmers who have filed
previously for a refund will reiteive
a new application in the mail. Most
have probably been received bjt
this time. Those who have not filed
before may obtain an application
through the N. C. Department of
Revenue, or through the County
Farm Bureau. County Farm Bure
aus are also offering assistance to
farmers in filling out farms proper
ly.
Farmers who neglect to file for
the refunds are losing money they
needn't lose. In 1961, farmers in
Scotland, tvwity got an average
rpfttira a ft9$. In most counties, the
refafifLavecaged well over 100. It
ctin aact ilf> quickly, for it is not
uncommon for a farmer to use more
than 1,500 gallon^ of gas on his
farnij during a .year's time. Since
he ii eligible for a total refund of
ten cents per gallon, a refund of
1,500 gallons would amount to $150.

Summer Vegetables And Tuna
Top Plentiful food List In August
Summer vegetables and canned
tuna will top the list of plentiful
foods during August.
Miss Gaynelle Hogan, consumer
marketing specialist for the Agri
cultural Extension Service at N.
C. State, says that you will find
many summer vegetables available.
Among these will be tomatoes,
needless loss to cost of operations.
But remember, its' a lot of mony
for a little effort. And it's yours
for the asking.
sweet com, snap beans, lima beans,
beets, cabbage, and lettuce.
Other plentiful foods includes
watermelons, peanut butter, and
cooking and salad oils.
Watermelon production will be
well above the 1957-61 average.
3 Thousand more acres have been
planted. Good harvests are now
bringing large supplies of top-qual
ity melons to market.
To tie in with August Sandwich
Month promotion, peanut butter
has been added to tke Agricultural
Marketing Service's ust. Production
of 1982 crop peanuts was approx
imately 150,000 tons greater than
apparent requirements. And the '63
crop is expected to again substan
tially exceed current needs.
Cooking and salad oils tie in nice
ly with outdoor cookery - for bast
ing at barbecues and in summer sa
lads. Stocks of edible oils are now
about 700 million pounds higher
than normal.
The six Common Market coun
tries to be visited import about $160
million worth of tobacco, cotton,
poultry and feed grains from the
Carolinas annually.
