CANNON, County Agent ♦ ♦ 4 ++++♦**♦*****♦♦♦♦♦*♦♦♦♦♦*♦ While I was at the home of Mr. C. W\ Mahon, of Gray Court, a few days ago demonstrating pruning of a home orchard, I obtained some rather inter esting data from small things which brought in cash money throughout the year. v This data is backed up by rec- cords kept through last year by Mr. and Mrs. Mahon. From the 18 or 20 hens of the farm flock, they sold $145.23 worth of eggs and chickens up to December 16th. A small amount of butter and milk was sold through the year but figures weren’t given. From two turkey hens they sold $40 worth of eggs and turkeys during the year. The figures in my office show that Mr. Mahon sold from his home garden $16 worth of beans, $12 worth of early vegetable plants such as cab bage, lettuce, pepper, tomatoes and eggplants. Plant sweet peas foy blooming in June. Plant Diseases Treat seed potatoes before planting as best insurance against poor stands from rhizoctonia and blackleg. Don’t bed sweet potatoes without treating them if you want better stands and higher yields. Plant wilt-resistant tomatoes. It is a necessity now that wilt is preva lent throughout South Carolina. Don’t forget to spray dewberries this spring to prevent anthracnose. . Order spray materials now and avoid delays. Entomology If you have not already done so spray for San Jose scale. Do not permit prunings to remain in the op:hard nad thus increase infes tations of shot-hole borer and other bark beetles. When winter spraying is completed Champion Girl Farmer Doesn’t Like Country •> —- Atlanta, Feb. 1.—Girls get no kick out of life on a farm and in thisi they are strikingly alike, in the opinion of Miss Elgar Daniels, champibn cotton grower of Texas. Miss Daniels, an 18-year-old blonde, chief assistant to her father on his 100-acre farm near Nacogdoches, Tex as, was here today with other state! champion cotton growers en route to Washington for a visit. Despite the fact that Miss Daniels last year raised two and one-half bales of cotton on an acre of land, doing i all the work herself and clearing $177.20, she wants to move to town, teach school and wear pretty clothes, j POULTRY AT CROSS HILL, S.

We have often heard it said, “Small leaks sink great ships.” If we Southern people would look out for the small things on the farm we could save quite a bit during the ye^r. Mr. M. B. Henderson of Gray Court, had 350 White Leghorn pullets to net him $247 during November and De cember. I might say also that 10 or 15 cocks and old hens were fed and still Mr. Henderson netted $247 for the two above named months. Success in raising poultry will de pend on how you care for the birds, in the way of feeding and housing, etc., and the time of hatching your baby chicks. January, February and March should be the heavy months for hatching the meat type and general purpose-^ breeds, Brahams, Cochins, Rocks, Orpingtons, Wyandottes. Rhode Island Reds, ets. The light breeds, such as Leghorns and Anconas should be hatched later, preferably in March, April and to May 15. Let thd pur pose for which you are hatching de- t nnine the time to bring off the chicks. One must also consider the ength of time it takes to develop the cockrels and pullets. Some poultry raisers can develop their chickens in muchff Shorter length of time than others. ' r Be careful in purchasing chicks in tates far distant.’ There are good chickens in South Carolina, and plen ty of hatcheries. Why not keep this money and business within the state? When purchasing chicks from some of the mid-western states one runs the risk.of bringing into the state some diseases which are not yet common with us. I would suggest using yearling hens or older birds for producing hatching eggs if possible. Eggs from pullets which are in heavy production lack vitality and will not give as satis factory hatches. Iff case you are using eggs from your breeding pens, I suggest that you have at least one male to 15 hens of the Mght breed, and one male to 10 or 12 hens of the heavier breeds. In the selection of hatching eggs save eggs of uniform shape, size and color. The mos't desirable hatching eggs ^hould weigh from 24 to 25 oun ces per dozen. Do not keep eggs over 15 days before incubating. In fact, best resuj^s are secured when eggs are kept not longer than 10 days. Early broilers are claiming the at tention of a number of farm owners and poultrymen of this state and coun ty. Some people believe the Leghorn will make as satisfactory broiler as the heavier breed. This is a mistaken idea which will lead some poultrymen to disappointment and loss. Light breeds may be fattended as broilers at put away carefully for spring spray ing. Gera line on materials for summer spraying or dusting. See your county farm agent. < • To destroy twig girdlers pick up and burn girdled twigs under pecan and hickory trees. Kill many hibernating insects by de stroying trash and rubbish around garden and fields. Dairying cows in calve in November. Improve pasture lands, draining wet spots and building up poor spots. -Plan to grow three and one-half tons of silage and one to two tons of legume hay per cow. Repair pasture fences before the busy season. Animal Husbandry Haul the rock, wire and trash from the pastures and fill in the washes so (that the manuring machine will work. Give special care to # the lambing ewes and allow them one-half pound of grain per day with some roughage. Provide separate lots and comfor- I table quarters for the sows tha4»^re to farrow in February and March. Lay the plans for the forage crops for summer, bearing in mind that soy beans are fine for summer and fall grazing. Sow a little grass seed on the per manent pastures. Get rid of those scrub bulls and re- ;tiace them with animals of good breeding and conformation. Poultry , Begin the selection of eggs for hea- vjr breeds for hatching layers for next season. Keep hatching eggs at a tempera ture between 40 and 50 degrees F. Turn eggs daily. Prepare the brooder house for the bjky chicks. r Use chopped alfalfa for the flock if green feed is not available. “Of course I can plow, saw wood, milk cows, clip sheap, drive a tractor and do anything a farm requires. It's not hard work, really. Not much hard er than using a typewriter all day, ex cept that my work keeps me outdoors and healthier. “But nobody can claim that farm life offers much excitement. It gets monotonous, or would if we stopped work and thought about it. “Country girls are just as keen about dancing and'such things as city eirls. We don’t drink, probably, and don’t smoke because everybody knows us and there is too little for them to talk about any way.” Miss Daniels talked over WSB, the Atlanta Journal radio station, here to- \ | February to j nteht. She saM she had never talked over the radio before and had never been outside of Texas before, but that she would “just stand up and read her j < ► piece,” just as she hoped she would * * stand up and read before her school some day. Miss Daniels uses no rouge, ‘but I carry a compact,” she said. 1 ■■ - Expert phonograph re pairing done at O’Daniel and Reid’s. Colored Hens 23c per lb. Leghorns 20c per lb. Cox Stags 15c per lb.

The greater the supply and the smaller the demand the more is the^ discrimination. Heavier breeds are slightly more economical gainers and reach market size sooner, so ex periments show. The Connecticut Ex periment station at Storrs found that Rhode Island Red chicks reached one pound in weight in 7 weeks and consumed 3 pounds of feed, while 8 weeks and 3 Vi pounds of feed were re quired to bring White Leghorns to this weight. to CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH Rev.

FEBRUARY FARM CALENDAR Agronomy Do not plow clay soil when wet; it is hard to get rid of the clods. Top dress grain about the last of this month. Place orders for fertilizer early so that hauling will no( interfere with plowing later. Order some good seed of the best variety of cotton and-corn for your section. r Good seed are cheap this year. Repair planters and distributors to prevent trouble and delap at planting time. * Horticulture 1 Plow and prepare the garden and order vegetable seeds. a ■ i i ■ i i ■ ■ i ■ i ■ a a a a a a ■ a ■ a ■ a a a ■ a ■ a a ’a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a Its purifying influencee, I cannot help thinking of the increased liability of infection within the winter quarters of those who live in the rigid tem peratures of our northern states. The out-door members of our families are abroad during the day, either from choice or necessity. Being exposed, they “pick up” colds, bronchial infec tions, throat disturbances febrile in character, and, certainly communica ble. They bring their complaints home with them. Children going to j school are extremely liable to contract lung or throat diseases, by their asso ciation with groups some of whom are almost certain to be carriers of res piratory germs. Somebody in family may be tubercular—a most se rious infection. What I am driving at is, to avoid the spread of disease in the home where we spend our evenings, or should, if we do not. I do not’ like to hear of colds “going through fami lies,’* and I am .convinced that sach misfortune can be prevented by intel ligent precaution.
