What Producers Of Pork Should Know Clemson College, March 12.?Declaring his belief that next year hog prices are going to be higher, Prof. L. V. Starkey, head of the Animal Husbandry Department at Clemson College, lists nine things that every farmer should know to enable him to produce pork to greater advantage and thus reap maximum benefit from higher prices. Whether for home and farm consumption or for sale, efficiently produced pork means greater profit to the farmer. To this end let every pork producer remember: That fish meal js one of the best protein supplements to corn. That forages will save about onethird of the corn and one-half of the protein supplement necessary to pro^ duce a given amount of pork. . That Biloxi soybeans are our best summer forage. That soybeans may be grazed from the middle of June until the pigs are ready for market. That barley and rye are our best winter forages. That usually the fastest gains are the cheapest gains. That six pigs- per litter and two litters a year must be raised in order to realize a reasonable profit. That 90 per cent of our hogs are heavily infested with internal parasites. That growing hogs on fresh land, changing pastures and using forage crops will keep the parasites under cont n>i. Walter J.

No Bargain Price Chicks Likely Now Olenuwm College, March 17.?"Bargain price" baby chick? resulting from surplus stock are not likely this year, and those who expect to buy chicks this season should stock orders early to be sure of getting the quantity and quality wanted, thinks P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman. He believes that there will not be the usual production of surplus supplies of chicks this year, because provisions in the Hatchery Code make it inadvisable for hatcherymen to have large surpluses. In recent years, competition in the hatchery business is said to have been so keen that many hatcheries have made it a practice to set more flggs than were necessary to produce the number of chicks for which they had orders. The result has been heavy overproduction, with very low prices, especially late in the season. Chicks can no longer be placed on the market by those who eomo under the Hatchery Code below the individual seller's cost of production. This provision is expected t>o prevent the piwduction of heavy surpluses, becauso the chicks cannot be "dumped" on the market (^t bargain prices. Improvement in the quality of baby chicks is expected to follow the code ban on below-cost sales. Buyers would benefit from such improvement in breeding stock, it is pointed out.
