Gooding, extension poultry specialist, are worthy of considera tion by everyone keeping chickens: Grow Your Feed “This is the time to plant grain to be fed to the chickens next win ter. Summaries of demonstration flocks for the past four years show that 80 per cent of the cost of keeping chickens is feed cost. Hence, this is the factor that should be kept at a minimum. With existing selling prices of eggs and poultry, one must follow economical practices in producing them if a profit is to be made. These practices should involve the least outlay of cash and the only way to keep the outlay of cash at a minimum is by growing the feed on the farm. In planting feed crops for the chickens the following fig ures will act as a guide. In order to bring 100 pullets to laying age it is necessary to begin with about 300 chicks. From this number about 140 cockerels and culled pullets are usually sold or consumed as broilers. The following two home grown ingredients will form 80 per cent ">f the ration requirements: 45 bushels of yellow corn and 17 bush els of wheat. This, plus 20 per cent of commercial ingredients, mixed in formulas which may be obtained from county agents will carry 100 pullets to five months of age. Feed Requirements for 100 Hens For One Year One hundred bushels of yellow corn, 25 bushels of wheat and 300 pounds of meat scraps or fish meal prepared and mixed in formulas which can be secured from this of fice or county agents, will feed 100 laying hens for one year. By estimating the yield of corn and wheat per acre which one can expect from their land they can determine the number of acres of corn and wheat necessary to feed j their flock of birds.” E. L.

The total amount of the securi ties to be issued is $4,000,000, and proceeds from the sale of the se curities are to be used in paying amounts due in pensions to Con federate veterans and widows and for discharging the state’s obliga tions to the school teachers under the 6-0-1 school law. The notes are to be issued in de nominations of $100 and multiples thereof and will bear interest at 6 per cent. They will be payable in April. 1933. Ordinarily the state finance com mittee borrows this money each spring in New York. This year it is making an opportunity to secure it from the people of the state. The impression has been created that the people look with favor on in vestments in securities of their own state, and during the recent session of the legislature an act was passed authorizing the issuance of bonds of small denominations so that they would be available to people who have small amounts, as well as large, in savings. Delivery of tne securities to sub scribers will be made at the office of the state treasurer or through any bank, at request of the purr- chasers. Subscriptions are to be mailed to the state treasurer for delivery by noon April 20 and from day to day thereafter until all are disnosed of. If all are not sold promptly a campaign directing attention to the securities may be conducted. These notes for $4,000,000 have nothiry whatever to do with the state aeficit of $5,000,000, but are for pensions and teachers’ salaries. Members of the state finance committee are I. C. Blackwood, governor: A. J. Beattie, Comptroll er general, and J. H. Scarborough, state treasurer. What Shall We Do With Prohibition?
