Farm Flock Owners
Advised to Replace
'"Mongrel" Biidt
The farmer who keeps a farm
flock can greatly Increase his
labor Income per bird by getting
rid of his "mongrel" birds, feed
ing a 'balanced diet and practic
ing careful management, accord
ing to R. S. Dearstyne, head of
the poultry department at N. C.
State College.
Noting that it. is a universal
practice to keep a flock of chic
kens on every -farm, Dearstyne
asserts that many of these flocks
are made up of mongrel birds ?
the product of cross-breeding
and inbreeding for several years.
Such breeding is not conducive
to high performance and high
quality eggs. Too often the diet
of the birds consists of table
scraps and grain plus what the
birds can pick up on the range,
which also Is not conducive to a
high rate of lay. Housing in ma
ny cases, is Indifferent.
Dearstyne points out that
eggs from these farm, flocks oft
en find their way to market dur
ing the spring of the year when
most chickens are laying, and
that the farm flock owner, as
well as the commercial poultry
man, will do well to produce the
best eggs possible.
Mongrel birds should be re
placed by purebreds, or by care
fully bred crosses which would
be held for only one year. Many
farm flock owners like to repro
duce their own flocks in order
to have a constant supply of
young chickens available. 'This
Is understandable;" Dearstyne
says, "but It should be realized
that the chicks hatched are a re
flection of their parents. Good
ed as a decorative scheme for
the meeting. During the progres
sions a salad and sweet course
was served with hot spice tea.
At the conclusion of the pro
gressions score prizes were pre
sented Mrs. Johnnie Smathers for
scoring highest for visitor's and
to Mrs. Sam Davis for highest
score among club members. .

North Carolina's rural econo

throughout the year, Dearstyne
says. "Well-fed, well-bred, and
well - managed chickens will
bring about this end.
U. S. farmers are now' tilling
about the same number of acres
as in 19301. They are doing it
with 1,223,000 fewer wworkers,
and they are producing far larg
er crops than was the i ?> 20
years ago. Much of this increased
production goes to agricultural
research which has made new

Home Safety Hint*
Dangerous ladder substitutes
such as chairs, boxes, stools, and
defective or weak stepladders
should not be used inside nor
outside the house. A sturdy steel
stepladder used' in every, home
Would help to eliminate m^ny
serious falls (1952 Christmas
?gift for the family).
Many burns on lace, neck,
arms, and hands could 4>e a
voided if we follow safety direc
tions when using pressure can
ners and defective Jars. The use
of pai'.s and pans with defective
or loose handles that break when
carrying liot water or fat cause
painful burns. Worn-out equip
ment fs a hazar<l so far as safe
ty from burns is concerned.
Needles, pins, pennies, and
bobby pins should never be left
on the. floor or within reach .of
your children.
Constructive suggestions, es
pecially on ways to prevent falls
on stairs, are:
1. Provide handrail, on stairs,
especially basement stairs. You
might Want to consider two hand
rails for' basement stairs.
2. Stairs w i I h widot reads and
not too steep steps.
3. Steps; kept in repair.
4. No uneven steps.
5. Well lighted steps.
6 No hurry or carelessness
when coming down or going up
stairs.
7. Do not run down stairs io
stocking feet.
Another factor that causes ma
ny accidents is being overtired
and working overtime.
Home accidents occur to all
ages of a family, from the oldest
to the youngest.
Most home accidents can be
prevented if each family member
will adopt these safe home ha
bits recommended by the Na
