THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. ft, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1949. Assistant Fcim Agent Says County ' By J.. BUTLER Assistant Farm Agent - Farmers are beginning to realize r! tnat tne next few years are going to VpflrH fit I'hflnD-M frnm th nant and present system of farming in eas tern North Carolina. It is doubtful whether anyone knows just what ' changes will take place or what the outcome will be: However, we do : know that one of these changes must be, more efficient: use of farmers, land, time and equipment, if we hope to keep our present standard of liv ing. There are many ways of increasing the efficiency of the average farm, but in this article we will discuss only one Perquimans County has a sur prisingly large sheep population made up of small flocks. Our ' county hog population i not the largest in the farm or per square -mile. We have here a great opportunity to make live stock a big business in Perquimans County and the first step should be better livestock practice. These prac tices include, pasture rotation, sani tation, and parasites, and disease con- trol. Farmers of ,this county needlessly are loosing hundreds of dollars on their livestock because of parasites. These include worms in hogs, sheep and chickens, mange and mites of livestock and poultry. We are always . concerned about an epidemic of chol era, fowl pox and etc., but losses from these diseases are not nearly as great as losses from parasites." These para sites not only ':os$ farmers a tremen- J 1 J 1 J x 1 J. uous loss in ieea, tune ana meat, dux also weakens the animal, making it' an easy victim of diseases. Therefore, par&sites are double barrelled troublej PAGE SEVER for the livestock producer, and most of tne problems of successful livestock production are directly or indirectly concerned" with parasites; Many peo-. ple: d apt realize , that their hogs, sheep or chickens are carrying a heavy load of worms, and that these worms "are caJsing losses by death and alow growth. 'The worm is going to grow whether the animal does or not. That is why many sheep" owners are losing sheep or had a poor lamb crop, or the pigs didn't seem to grow off as well as expected, or the chick ens failed to gain, have pale combs, or stop laying just when egg prices are best. These are. few of the problems that may be solved without too great an expense. The best method of preven tion is pasture rotation. Have lambs, calves and pigs born on clean ground that hos not beent .used as pasture for at-least one year. If pigs are fed p'roperly and fail to grow use worm capsules, Phenothio zene, fenzene, or Sodium Floride. Sheep worms may be controlled by drenching plus phenothiozene, a Ben son Salt mixture. Poultry worms can best be controlled by keeping young chickens off old ranges and keeping the house and yard clean. If chick ens are suspected of being wormy, worm capsules are available. ' Anyone who is interested in treat ing poultry, hogs or sheep for worms along with better sanitation practices may obtain further information Joy contacting the County Agent or As sistant County Agent in the Agricul tural Building or by writing a post car.1 requesting information.
