Pookett, of Charlotte, route 9 1 Mecklenburg County, has answered the question as to whether n man ' can make a living on 26 acres of land. 1 True it is that Mr, Puckott does 1 not have all of the luxuries that a ' more extended holding would allow but he has a neat farm home. a 1 good barn, 50 hens, three milk cows, 1 two mules, four, hogs, a garden and 1 e soil that is gradually becoming more fertile through the years. The Bocret is that Is land is entirely coc ered with green crops -through the ] winter, the fields are well terraced and there is a balance of soil inn proving and cash crops on the 11ml- ? ted acreage. j? I have been living here 45 years. ' Mr. Puckett said, and ..have been' i maintaining the home for my moth- I er. I am now working in cooperation j with the Soil Conservation Service! ' in this area and they have helped (' me recently in building better ter-( t races and in planting certain pas ture and soiling crops. Last year I had four acres in cotton oh which ' .1 made a bale or more, per acre: six^i acres in corn with an average yield i .?>f frctn 30 to 40 bushels; five acres < B in wheat from which I sold $30 Wor- f . th last season, and 3 or 4 acres of f oais used for feed. Mr. Puckett's wheat, bv the way.1' weighed .01 pounds t'o the bushel in r spite of the poor season. He has all > I ; of his cotton land covered with bur i clover. His pasture is seeded to a ' B mixture of orchard grass, red top, red clover and alsike clover. I^espe- ;i B deza has been seeded in the small I grain and Austrian pens Is used as a : winter cover crop. Phosphate and limestone has been used' on much of i | the land and strip cropping is fol- i B lowed on the steeper slopes. , i I Honored On Birthday . ?

Poultry men Urged To Retain Layers Selling off laying hens In the tr.ee >f advancing egg prices during spring months is a common practice imong North Carolina poultrymen, iccordtng to C. F. Parrish, ertension JOUltry specialist at Stale College. Strict culling is nearly always pro 'liable, tint disposing of the entire lock when the price of hens begins o increase usually results in an ulnatc loss. Parrish suggests that poultrymen. jo through their flocks and select md sell the birds that are not layng, those that have become broody, ivcrly heavy hens, or those that jive indication of laying only a tew 'ggs a week. Tlinn ?Ivn liottnv ltono con 1i^ v/v. ained In the flock until late stunner or early fall. In fact, it is al vitys n good practice to keep good, envy-laying hens any year. A bird bat will produce IS to 24 eggs a itonth during the spring will make i return above feed costs even hough the price of eggs falls as lowis one cent each. Morause spring is a lntsy time for he fanner, many feel they cannot live their flocks the proper aitenion.
