Burial was in Rowan Memorial Ceme tery- V There's No Market For Onion And Egg The smells of spring may soothe the city man, but some of them are mighty irritating to the farmer. One of the most disturbing of these smells is that of wild on ions, and one of the farmers most disturbed is the poultry man. So long as his birds were on a clean, mash and grain diet, their eggs usually tasted just like fresh eggs should- But come spring, and the birds go out on the range, the poultry man’s cus tomers often complain about “on ion eggs.’’ In some cases, the complaints are about “turnip eggs” or “cabbage eggs.” Since the flavor of eggs is di rectly related to what the chick en eats, farmers must watch their layers’ diets or watch their customers stop bating eggs. R- S. Dearstyne, professor of poultry science at N. C- State college, points out that no real preventive program can bb es tablished, except that of good management. The poultry man should be on guard to remove, the source of trouble when it ap pears. The chicken’s feed isn’t the only thing that influences fla vor; eggs may absorb odors from other materials stored in the feamte room with them. This, says Dearstyne, infers that egg rooms should be used for eggs alone. Even musty or moldy card board cartons can impart objec tionable flavors to eggs Of course, thle age of the egg has a good bit to do with its fla vor; as it ages, carbon dioxide is released, causing certain smelly chemical changes Silage Preservative Has Advantages It won’t be long before farm ers start making grass silage, and D. G. Harwood Jr., farm management specialist with the State College Extension Service, reminds them that there are many advantages to using a si lage preservative. Among the preservatives that may be used are molasses, corn arid cob meal, oats, citrus pulp, and sodium meiabisulfite. The latter is a commercial prepara tion Harwood says that all of thb materials are good preservatives, but research at State College shows molasses and com and cob meal to bb cheaper than the oth ers Either can be used at a cost of 48 cents per ton of silage. The nutritive value of the materials were considered in calculating their cost. While the direct cash cost of eithbr molasses or com and cob meal may be higher than that of the other preservatives, they have a higher feeding value which isn’t lost in fermentation. It will pay farmers to weigh carefully the relative costs of va rious preservatives, Harwood feels. 1-col 14 Fertilizer Needs. A Negro farmer of Wake Coun ty ran short of fertilizer on his tobacco last ybar, and profited by it. C- L- Boone, assistant Negro county agent, relates that John Mangum of Wendell, Route could put “only” 1,000 pounds bn the last acre. That acre sold higher than thb rest of the crop. This started Mangum to think ing that perhaps he had been a little off in his estimate of ferti lizer needs. This year he had his soil tested, and the test showbd that he was indeed wrong. m U S o u Q mi < OS M as DR.

ANSWER: Put it in silage. The first cutting of alfalfa is hard to cure for hay, especially if a dry er is not available. It takes far less labor to havest a ton of si lage, using modern equipment, than it does to harvest a ton of hay. QUESTION: The needles of pine trees in my woods are. turn ing yellow- What is wrong with them? ANSWER: At this time of year, it is likely that pine bark beetles are attacking your trees.
