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.

QUESTION: What’s the best
way to handle the first cutting of
,alfalfa?
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. This
changing of color is the first sign
of infestation- There are many
reports of pine bark beetles in
eastern North Carolina now. You
should see your county agent or
state forester; speedy action is
essentia] to control these beetles.
QUESTION: In lace of the
