BEST TURKEYS [ SHOULD BE KEPT High turkey prices during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holi days oftep tempt producers to sell their best birds and keep slower de veloping turkeys for breeding pur poses. That’s about the worst thing they could do, commented C. F. Parrish, extension poultry special ist at State College. Now that the holiday seasons are not far off, he said growers should classify their birds into three groups: breeders, market turkfeys, and culls. Although the very best birds should be saved for breeders, there will be many good birds available for marketing, and growers should make every effort to get their mar ket birds in good condition, Parrish pointed out. Turkey meat is considered some what of a luxury, he added, and therefore quality birds will com mand higher prices than other meat products of the some food value. Early hatched, well developed, quick maturing pullets and young toms are given first preference. Consequently, these should be the type selected for breeders. Breeders should also be healthy, active, well balanced, and free from deformi ties. Thq market turkeys should be di vided into two groups, one for Thanksgiving and one for Christ mas. In the first group place healthy birds that have large frames, are reasonably free from pin feathers, and appear ideal for marketing late in November. Confine them in a place is not too restricted and feed them a fattening ration. Smaller, timid, slow developing birds should be placed in the sec ond group, where they will have a longer time to develop before be ing placed on the market. o N.C. GOOD FOR HOG RAISING State Has Many Advantages and is Ntear Market. North Carolina is well adapted to hog production, according to Earl H. Hostetler, professor of animal husbandry at State College. The State has many advantages, he said, and three are particularly outstanding: temperate climate, nearness to market, and a good sup ply of protein supplements.

However, some housing is neces sary, Hostetler said, to protect them from the cold and rain in February and March and from the heat in August and September, the two best farrowing periods. From practically any place in eastern North Carolina, he continu ed, hogs can be shipped to Rich mond or Baltimore in 36 hours or less, and this is a distinct advant age. Producers living farther away from the markets have to pay more transportation charges, and the hogs undergo heavier shrinkage in tran sit Eastern markets also pay high er prices than those in Chicago. Corn is the cheapest and most satisfactory carbonaceous feed for fattening hogs, and plenty of corn is availably in this State. Last year, more than one-fourth of North Carolina’s crop land was in com. To get the best insults in feeding some nitrogenous or high protein feed must be fed with the corn.

SWEET POTATOES SHOULD BE COVERED Better to Cure and Store Them if You Want a Good Price. “If you want to get a good price for your sweet potatoes, you must cure and store them in such away that they will be in good condition when placed on the market. “The first thing is to thoroughly clean the storage room and all crates or hampers to avoid infec tion,” said L. P. Watson, extension horticulturist at State College. Then heat the storage house to a temperature of 85 degrees fahren heit before putting in the potatoes. Maintain that temperaure through out the curing period. The air should here again North Carolina has an advantage in being able to secure fish meal, cottonseed meal, peanut meal, and soybean oil meal pro duced in the State. not be excessively dry or damp. Wounds or bruises are the start ing places of infection, and they should be healed as soon as possible. The healing process will begin in about three days if an 85 degree temperature is maintained. When the potatoes are mature and an even temperature is kept up, the curing period lasts from 10 days to three weeks. The average curing time is around 15 days. When potatoes in the upper tier of crates begin to sprout, curing is Some growers determine when it is complete by grasping the potatoes firmly in their hands. If the tubers feel velvety, they are ready to be left in storage. Plenty of ventilation is essential, Watson added. During the first week, potatoes give off much mois ture, and the excess should be driv en out of the house . If moisture gathers on the walls and window panes, open doors and windows so the ejxcess can escape, even if this does cause the temper ature to fall a little below 85 de grees, But at night and on rainy days, doors and windows should be kept closed. However, there should be some ventilation through the floor and ceiling at all times. After the curing process is over, gradually reduce the temperature to 50 or 55 degrees and keep it there during the rest of the storage pe riod. Keep roof ventilators partly open except in cold or cloudy weather. All Sizes Os Sold By Leggett’s Department Store Roxboro, N. C.
