THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. C, FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1936 PAGE THREE 1 1 Sink Selfishness I 0 i lean .. By GUY ACABDWELL Agricultural and Industrial "Agent Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co. A state of confusion prevails fol lowing the Supreme Court Agricul tural, Adjustment Administration rul ing. This is only natural, as : the stopping or suspension of this well organized government agency, which has intimately touched the lives of a arge majority of farmers in this untry, has left them without the rop upon .which they have heavily ed for the past three years. Since the sixth of January I have been asked many times what effect will the Supreme Court ruling have on farming generally ? What will cotton, tobacco, and peanut farmers do about their 1936 acreage etc., etc.? Ignoring the farmers need for some strong control, under existing world conditions and conditions pre vailing during recent years, I would say that those farmers who have co operated with the AAA either will ingly or unwillingly, should have learned something of the value of cooperation; and I think a consider able number of them will "dig in" and continue acreage Allotment poli cies under which they have worked. This is no time for a display of sel fishness. Too much is involved. And yet, each individual has the right, under the Constitution, to decide what he is going to plant during the year ,1936, and in what acreage. The bars are down. : . While the AAA control is "shot," why cannot agricultural leaders in each county in each community continue to hold money crop farmers in line by appealing to their common sense; impressing them with the fact that the success of the whole should be sought for that is what really matters not the success of a few individuals. This is not socialism, but common sense. If acreage control, of certain crops, was needed during the past three years, and is still needed to prevent over-production and depres sion in prices, it seems to me that the farmers will, of their own voli tion, continue the job started under the Agricultural Adjustment Admin istration. It is my conception that the AAA planned for a living, plus, for Amer ican farmers. If this is true farm ers in the Southeast have a decided advantage over those in many other parts of the country, for here a man can not only have a reasonable acre age in southern money-crops, but conditions also permit him to make those crops and have that livestock which will provide subsistence for both man and beast Let us sink our selfishness and continue . working together to im prove the economic condition of each worthy family in the community. Timely Questions On Farm Answered Question: How can I make a pro fit from my hens when egg prices are low? Answer: Peak production usually means low prices on eggs and this condition is natural at this time of the year. The logical method of correcting this trouble is to cull the flock and remove all the low pro ducers. This will materially cut the feed bill and bring up the average production per bird. Another way is lay down a supply of eggs in water glass. Directions lor this work may be secured by writing the Poultry Department at State College. Question: Can the spread of mosaic or "walloon" of tobacco be controlled when transplanting? Answer: This disease is common ly spread while pulling plants espe cially if the diseased and healthy plants are handled alike. Where the disease appears in the plant bed all healthy plants within one foot of those showing signs of the disease should not be touched until all healthy plants are pulled. Following this all plants from the diseased area should be removed from the beds and destroyed. Where mosaic plants have been handled the hands should be washed in a weak disin fecting solution and the clothes changed in order to prevent further spread of the disease. vuestion: When should lambs be given a grain ration? Answer: Lambs will begin to nibble at hay when about two weeks old and it is usually profitable to provide them with a good grai.i mix ture at this time. A good ration for this purpose may be prepared by mixing equal parts, by weight, of corn, oats and wheat bran. This ra tion should be placed in a creep and the lambs allowed all they will eat until they are ready for market. To keep the lambs healthy and to elim inate digestive troubles all refused feed and trash should be removed from the trough each day. Garden Contest To Qose On March 31 County winners of the fall and winter garden contest, sponsored by the State College extension service, will be determined a few days after the contest closes on March 31. Therefore, it is important that all contestants place their records and stories in the hands of their home agents as soon as possible, said Miss Mary E. Thomas, extension nutri tionist at the college. The two high scoring gardens in each county must be determined by April 10, she added. All complete records and stories must be in the State home demonstration office, at State College, by April 20. The efficiency of the garden, as shown by the record, will count 75 per cent and the story written by the contestant will count 25 per cent, Miss Thomas pointed out. The stories, not to exceed 500 words, should cover all important i points about how the garden was managed, its value to the family and the returns secured in fresh and canned vegetables and money income. In each county where ten or more contestants complete their records and stories, first and second prizes will be $5 and $2.50. The four State winners will receive $20, $12.50, $7.50 and $5 from funds donated by the Chilean Nitrate of Soda Educa tional Bureau. Prizes of the same amount paid the individual State winners will be awarded the four county home dem onstration club councils having the largest percentage of their club members completing the contest.

However, the above map shows the historic differences in archi tecture and present trends. The divisions are by no means hard i.ul fast, for the edges lap considerably in places. Within each architec tural division there are many varieties, and the difference between Recommends Ration To Fatten Broilers When broilers are to be shipped a distance to market, it does not pay tc put Jhcm on a fattening ration before they ieave tiie farm. While cn route ihe young chickens lose weight, ana any added fat will be lo;t much more rapidly than the more ccliii fie?h, says C. J. Maupin, extension pov.liry specialist at State College- But if the birds are to be sold lo cally, a fattening ration will put them in good condition so they will bring fancy prices. Gccd commercial fattening rations may be obtained from feed dealers, or the p I.Hryman may mix his own. 'Maupin recommended a ration composed of six pounds cf corn meal to four pounds of flour middling with; enough skim milk or buttermilk to make the mixture pour readily from a bucket. It will usually take about two pounds of milk for each pound of the dry ingredients, he added. If milk is not available, water may be used. In this event, add to the ration enough meat scraps to constitute 10 per cent of the mixture. From seven to ten days is long enough to keep the young birds on a fattening feed. Bring the cmcKs up to broiler size in good condition, Maupin stated, and they will not be hard to fatten when being finished for market. For the first six or eight weeks af ter they are hatched, the chicks should be fed a good starting mash. Plenty of milk or water should be kept before them at all times. urban and rural houses is ofts Climatic conditions, mode of 1 able, and degree of culture aK typical style. lied.

THIS WEEK'S RECIPE APPLE PUDDING Apple pudding is a quick and easy pudding to make when you haven't a hot oven, as it can be made on top of the stove by stewing apples (or any other fruit) in a pudding dir.h; add a little water and sugar and nut meg, then cover with a soft dough made same as for dumplings, and cover airtight with a close cover and steam for 15 minutes. If the baby's oilcloth bib breaks or rips it may be reinforced with ad hesive tape. It is equally useful for mending broken dolls or the backs of story books. 1 4 1 1 w Chevrolet's high-compression valve-in-head engine Every test proves it's more economical . . .
