Attend Meeting 5th
RECORD ATTENDANCE AT THE
PARKSVILLE EVENING
CLASS MEETING
Twenty-six farmers met in even
ing class at Parksville, March 5,
for the purpose of studying prob
lems in connection with fertilizing
cotton. This is the largest at
tendance this year, although the
attendance for all meetings has
been excellent—^twenty-one.
Problems studied at this meet
ing were: What sources of am
monia pay best for cotton, will it
pay to use high or low analysis
fertilizers, how much can be saved
per ton by home-mixing, and do
home-mixed fertilizers give as good
yields as commercial-mixed goods.

Healthy-Chicks
Program Pays
Good Profits
. v y *

Poultry growers who follow the
“Grow healthy chicks” program
advocated by State and Federal au
thorities not only have more eggs
in the basket at the end of the
year, but they have more money
in the bank. H. L. Shradw:, ejjjgn-
sion poultryman of the ? UfRed
States Department of Agriculture,
cites records kept in Missouri to
prove this claim.
Flocks raised according to the
five rules of the healthy-chicks
program averaged 165 eggs per hen
with an income over feed cost of
$2.66 per hen, while flocks raised
under ordinary methods produced
only 147 eggs per hen, with an in
come of $1.86. The difference in
favor of the “Grow healthy chicks”
plan was 18 eggs and 80 cents net
income per bird.
The first rule is to use clean
eggs, which means those from
flocks which are free from bacill
ary white diarrhea. The next rule
is to use clean brooder houses. A
thorough clean-up before the
hatching season will take care of
this point. Clean feed, the third
requisite, calls attention to the
need of sanitary feed hoppers.
Clean ground, to the poultrymen,
is ground on which no poultry
manure has been scattered nor any
poultry allowed to range the prev
ious year. The final rule is to sep
arate cockerels and pullets, so that
special care can be. given the pul
lets.
X
Turkeys convey gapeworms to
chickens, and chickens convey
blackhead to turkeys. Don’t raise
both unless you can keep them
well separated.
The hard spots in life are never
recognized until you bump into
them.
