Costs on producing a dozen eggs can be determined by care-, fully list i ng purchased feeds, the cost of grazing* crops, and other items that enter into cost records. C. F. Parrish, Extension poultry specialist at State College, points out that pro per flock management and feeding pay excellent divi dends. High production per bird means low cost of pro duction per dozen eggs. The highest cost of produe ing eggs comes in Octobed, November, and December when the average produc tion is low and egg prices are relatively high. i Parrish suggests that for higher egg production per bird, the laying flock con tain at least two-thirds pul lets. Do not overcrowd the flock and provide deep, clean absorbent litter. Keep the flock comfortable; feed well; and watch for diseas es. Contrary to the prevail ing opinion, demonstration flock records show that the highest average returns above feeding costs are ob tained in the spring of the year when production per, bird is highest and egg! prices are the lowest. “A note book showing the number of eggs produced per month, the money tak en in from egg 3, and feed costs and other such items is one of the best invest ments that a poultry grow er can make,” Parrish says.

I STATE LEADS NATION IN MILK COW INCREASE Raleigh, S e ptember: Since September a year ago North Carolina has increas ed its milk cow numbers more than any other State in the Nation, according to the Statistics division of the State Department of Agriculture. In 1943, the Statistic's di vision's crop reporters thro ughout the State gave in a ( total of 376,000 milk cows ; and heifers two years old and older. 'Frank Parker, i who is head of this division, [is of the opinion that tliis is lower than the actual number, but this figure is the nearest on record to ths correct number. The United States Bur eau of Agricultural Econo mics in its September re lease reported that North ,j Carolina has increased its milk cow numbers five per cent from 1943, which would bring the number of milk cows now in to'] :94,800. „ In the year ending in June, milk cow numbers continued on the upgrade throughout the Nation, but this State led the field. The National increase, inciden tally, was only two per cent. The large number of heif ers on hand, according to the United States Depart-, ment of Agriculture release! indicates further increase in cow numbers in this State in 1945— unless cull ing is stepped up materially - Parker said that the av erage price received by far mers of the Nation for whole milk sold at whole sale in ntid-August was, $3.22 per hundredweight,, much below the average (Continued on page four) v n National War Fund Campaign , ■ i , Final plans for the War .
