ATLANTIC COAST LINS AND CLEMSON .LEGS LIVESTOCK SPECIAL TRAIN TAKES PROSPERITY IDEAS TO STATE EcUcvcd 'Gtr/ie’c Agriculture Can Net Ce Permanently Prosperous Without Livestock. For tbo cncovragcncnt of livestock farming r.3 a rci.'.ns of diversifying the inccrne and Imnroving sell fcrlllity a livestock development train is being run over the Atlantic Coast Line, the Charleston and Western Carolina and the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens rails in South Carolina June IS to July 17, stopping ^t G2 principal towns and inviting all people interested in.live stock or poultry development aboard to sec tho free ealiibits. With the co operation of the Clemson College Ag ricultural Extension Service, dairy, hog, sheep and poultry exhibits from the college will bo carried and repre sentatives of the extension service and of the Atlantic Coast Line will ac company the train to talk with inter ested visitors and to take part in programs. One poultry car will carry exhibits of desirable type hatching eggs, hens of desirable breeding type, the type of hens to cull and the type to keep as good layers and samples of feeds that are giving good results on the Clemson College poultry plant. A flat car will have built on it a Clem son type brooder house and a Clem- con type laying house, both fully equipped and carrying flocks of live birds that are managed just as good ponltrymcn handle their flocks. Jersey and Guernsey cows of good type, both of v. liich have good milking records, yearling heifers, calves and bulls of each cf these breeds will be stabled on one car with a "piney woods rooter” hog, a pig club gilt, a purebred Poland China sow, a Berk shire boar and a few pigs feeding from a ^pif - feeder in just the way Clemson College recommends for eco nomical pork production. There will bo a 12-pound fleece clipped this spring from one of Clemson College’s purebred Hampshire ewes hanging besido a two or three-pound fleece clipped from an average native scrub ewe. Purebred Hampshire and South- down sheep representative of their breeds will occupy pens, while in one pen a grade ewe will stand with her superior lamb which got its better quality from purebred ram parentage. Another car will carry equipment, feed, disease and parasite pest exhib its: equipment needed for the most practical farming with these classes of stock,, feeds that every farmer should grow and feed at home to good animals, and samples of the disease and pest'^roubles that every farmer must combat, together with advised control measures. A lecture coach is being equipped to give lantern-slide or movie-illus trated lectures to audiences, while a loud-speaker will be used to carry the lecturer audibly to audiences gath ered for some distance around the train, where they may sit in the shade or in convenient places. '* County agents and local organiza tions are arranging programs to be given at each place where the train stops and where visitors gather. The entire train will carry only ideas that farmers can make use of on their own farms. CLEMSON BUILDING FLOCK TO v GIVE STATE BEST OF SHEEP iTo Help Farmers Breed Up More Profitable Sheep and Make More Uee of This Livestock; Leading Shepherd Handling Flock. i Believing that sheep offer excep tional money - making opportunities and arc ideally adapted to South Car olina farmers, Clemson College has set about to develop one of the finest sheep flocks in the country from which stock can be sold into the state to carry some of the best available blood at reasonable prices and improve flocks to greater profitableness. To further this program, Ted Cook, one of the country’s leading shepherds, was put in charge of the flocks and is lending his practical understanding to the breeding program. From Senator Camden, at Versailles, Ky., the College bought one of tho finest Hampshire rams in the coun try, another fine one from tho Uni versity of Minnesota, and from Can ada a Southdown ram of rare merit. These and three superior purebred ewes brought into th£ original col lege flock of a few purebreds and sev eral scrubs that had come from the Coastal plains the kind of blood that is already bringing noticeable im provements and will in tho future re sult in a flock that should bo worth thousands of dollars to South Caro lina farmers. A few young rams have already been sold in the state. Tho flock today has 42 purebred ewes, CO grade ewes and a crop of lambs. Ted Cook, With One of Clcncsn College’s Purebred Rams. POOR LAYING HOUSES TRIM CAROLINA’S POULTRY PROFIT O Records Show Effect of Housing During January Freeze. So popular is the notion that a hen needs little care on the farm when grains can be picked up, the barn loft or manger or the brier patch make an ideal nest, and the tree top or wood shed are good enough for roosting. On tho other hand, records show that birds poorly protected in cold weath er or crowded in hot weather ease up on tho eggs and may take their time about getting started laying again, while those in a good house are little affected by such weather changes..... Records of two flocks in Banvwell county, both about the same size, lay ing about the same number of eggs, show that one of them very poorly housed started down grade on Jan uary 2, when the weather dropped from 18 degrees to nearly zero, and in one week were laying 72 eggs in stead of the previous 219 eggs a day. Still a v/eek later they w r ere far be low normal production. At the same time tl ; other flock laying 328 eggs on January first scarcely dropped be low tt 300 mark on any of the fol io v.dug cold days, and two weeks later had recovered to 306, practically nor mal. During the month of January the poorly-housed hens averaged only eight eggs apiece, while the well- housed hens averaged 16.4 eggs. Many other record-keepers with pocr laying houses hr'I mere violent reactions to the cold v. .'.vo . The Clemson type, open front, shed roof laying house, which is very simi lar to the cue that protected the above hens and prevented any egg-sacrifice last winter, will he carried on a flat car with the Atlantic Coast Line- Clemson College Livestock Develop ment Train and a flock of chickens will go with it over the state to show to the public this economical and sat isfactory building. It *s a common fault of South Car olina poultrymeu that they have too little floor space for their flocks. Crowding is especially undesirable in hot weather. Then, most of them are shed-roof houses, their success de pending upon tightness of construc tion.

The application, of sod’um fluoride by the "pinch method” or by dipping, the Department of Agirculture ex perimenters have found, is the best method known of combatting poul try lice. None of the louse “med icines” 1 o be used i i the drinking water will ’control the parasites. It :s not so easy as that, but time spent in teeating lousy fowls with sodium jfluoride is profitable. All the fowls must be treated or the lice will soon spread from the infested to the clean fowls. txt A baited trap often may be used in summer to neduce the annual crop of newly fledged English sparrows. These young birds in their search for food will enter traps that usually are avoided by the adult birds during peric'Js of food abundance. Trapp’ng :s safer than shooting or piosor.ing and has the added advantage that harmless o: 1 beneficial rative birds, if caught in the teap, can be freed. Canary seed, hemp seed, wheat, oats, and bread dumbs make excellent baits, cr a live sparrow may be kept in the trap as a deccy. Trapping may begin at any tme after the young sparrows arc able to take care of themselves, which is usually by July 1. Although English sparrows are widely distributed as a species, one flock generally is attached to Tt single locality, a fact that makes their cent: cl easier. txt Toads often begin the’r mealtime before sunset and continue through the greater part of the night, thus taking the place in the warfare against insects, of the ground-feeding insectivorous birds £hat stop eating after daytime is over. Since toads eat large numbers of insects that are injurious to crops, it can be said that they are of some economic value, particularly in destroying mille-peds, sowbugs, weevils, caterpillars, crick ets, and leaf chafers. Toads also render useful service on the farm by reducing the number of adult click beetles, as there is hardly a cultivat ed plant that is not attacked by these insect pests. Toads are not fussy about their menu and will eat indis criminately any ground-frequenting insect. X Potatoes grown under a paper mulch last year on one of the U. S. Department of Agr’culture’s experi ment plots came into flowering from 5 days to 2 weeks earlier than the plants grown without the paper mulch. The average weight per plant of the mulched plants was 38G grams, while that of the unmulched plants was only 81. This increased growth of the potato plants under the paper mulch was typical of the respenie obtaired with various other truck crops. While the practical use of such a mulch is closely associated with climatic, crop, market, and labor conditions, its possible adoption as a means of hastening the maturity of crops is of interest to growers anxious foi early markets. txi A hog will find shade in hot weather if he can. However, he does rot realize that a shady place often may be too hot and he is likely to stay there and die from overheating. Unless hog houses are high and have plenty of ventilation and air space, it is better to keep them closed in hot weather and force the hogs to seek shade elsewhere. If shade from trees is not available, a good artifi cial shade may be makle by setting pests in the ground and building a cheap framcwoik about four feet high, covering it with brush, hay, or straw. This shade is better than ore made of boards or sheet iron. Dust accumulating under it can be settled by watering the covering; this Will at the same time cool the air under neath.
