Produces Big Hens Wins On Big Eggs Clfemson College, Mareh 21.?'Early hatching unci proper feeding of his White Hock flock of hens has won for S, K. Crick, Pinopolis, Berkeley county, a reputation for superior birds which produce extra large egga, as shown by the fact that Mr, Crick has recently won first prize of $10 in u contest sponsored by a chain store in Philadelphia on size of eggs. "The manager of this chain oi grocery stores having received numerous complaints from customers about small eggs, offered prizes for the largest two dozen eggs," says P. II* Gooding, extension poultryman, telling of Mr. .Crick's experience. "Mr. Crick, learning of the contest and realizing that he was getting large, uniform eggs, decided to go after the money. In three days', time he selected from his 150 White Rock hens two dozen eggs which weighed 63Vu ounces. These wtue the largest eggs entered in the flffntest and not uny of them had double yolks. "In addition to laying large eggs Mr. Crick's birds are high producers and also exhibition birds," Mr. Gooding continues. "His egg production is 75 per cent at present and his birds averaged 180 eggs each last year. He entered ten birds in the Charleston Poultry Show and won nine premiums?four firsts, three seconds and two thirds. One of his male birds won first in his class for three years in succession at the State hair. "Mr. Crick says that his birds grow large because he hatches early, uses an all-mash system of feeding, and grows out the pullets well." Future Farmers Interested In Poultry The agricultural class of the ( amden high school is making poultry one of the major enterprises in their supervised practice program this year under the supervision of the agricultural teacher. Twenty-six of- t o Future Farmers hpve purchased 2,240 baby chicks, ^he Future Farmer Chapter purchased these chicks co-operatively and saved $10.00 by | so doing. These chicks c?W from some of the best blooded flocks in-| the state. The breeds these boys are growing are Barred Hocks and Rhode Island Reds. These Future Farmers have constructed ten brooder houses and eight brick brooders. They will have completed eight laying houses by this fall to house the pullets. The boys are mixing their feed ou ^ of yellow corn meal, wheat bran, wheat shorts, dried butter milk, mea scraps, bone meal and salt, have already mixed one ton of feed for their chicks. Some of the chicks will be sold for broilers and fryers and a large number of the chicks will be sold as ca-. nons The pullets will be put in layin* houses this tall and take the place of the scrub home flock. This is one of the largest poultry projects undertaken by any school in the state. These boys will have fried chicken on other days than Sunday.

Union, March 21.?An acre of ground snitched from a cotton field on the Douglas Edwards farm in this county and made into a vegetable garden produced a total of $4th>,05 in value of vegetables and left a net profit of $.'45H,30 after expenses totaling $112.75 including all costs of seed, fertilization, poisons and $50 for upkeep of car for delivery, according to Mrs. Kdwards* account of her experience and carefully kept record. "This is but another illustration of the money value of the farm garden," says A. E. Schillotter, extension horticulturist in charge of the garden contest, who is now busy with the contest for ?P32. Some statements from Mrs. Edwards' account are illuminating: "1 studied the garden letters from Clemson and Winthrop, thus learning what,, to plant at regular intervals and how to combat the insects of which I had my share during the summer, hut was able to combat them without serious damage. "In January I took a catalog and decided what I wished to grow in my garden and ordered the seed. I planned my garden so as to'have all vegetables that would mature at the samo period planted together, in order to more easily prepare the ground for a seeond crop. In that way the Aground was kept busy all the year instead of n one em>p garden. 1 did most of the work of cultivation with the wheel plow and hoe. I "During the drought last fall I tried I to keep a dust mulch by shallow cultivation, and still planting at regular intervals, and when it did rain 1 had a good stand of winter vegetables that have been both healthful and profitable. I found it a pleasure and a profit; and after keeping an exact record I found I had raised 31 varieties; made 3,061 servings to the family, have 315 quarts 'of canned fruit and vegetables, two bushels of onions, 15 bushels of Irish potatoes, 45 pounds of salad seed, one peck of shelled Lima beans, 10 bushels of sweet potatoes, five bushels of white peas, five bushels of peanuts for winter' use. "My husband ami 1 did all the work in HID hours and 150 hours of horse labor, but. wo feel well repaid in the health, pleasure and profit we ^eal- ' i/ed from this plot." The bo(Ky of Terrell M.
