Modoc INews Cull And Dispose Of The Non-Layers The best time to cull the aver age poultry flock is in July and August, for then the good hens are still at work while the loafers have stopped for the season, according to County Agent R. D. Suber. Rec ords have shown, however^that It does not pay to keep a cull hen over a period of time in order to receive a higher frrice. "When^fft Jjen stops laying she usually fipgfes molting”, Mr. Suber explains. “The later a hen lays in the summer and fall the greater will be her past yearly egg produc tion, so that the high producer is the, late layer and hence the late molter. The early molting hen is the ‘short-tifae’ or poor layer, for most hens cannot grow feathers and lay at the same time. (Con trary to general belief, the early molter does not make the early winter layer.” Well, pulling fodder is the order of the day in our section at present. Mr. and Mrs. J. O. McDaniel were week end visitors to relatives in Savannah. Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Bussey were dinner guests Sunday to Mr. and Mrs. Claude Skelton at Aiken.

There were seven additions to the church. Rev. J. S. Dukes, Jr., did the preaching. Mr. Dukes is a real good preacher. Mrir. J. A Crawford of Augusta spent the past week here among relatives and friends. -»ju Growing Pullets Need Attention Pullets sometimes become in fested with lice very quickly when on range and should be examined for these parasites often, says County Agent R. D. Suber, who advises the use of sodium fluoride as a powder or dip to rid the flock of lice. For use as a dip, he ad vlfies one pound of the powder dissolved in 10 gallons of luke warm water. It is wise to wait until young chicks are completely feathered out and weigh around three pounds before dipping. A clean range providing some Shfcde, a gtftm growing .mash plenty of grain, and an abundance of tratir will help greatly in grow ing out a good crop of pullets. Mt.

Grade, Staple, Price Service On Cotton Clemson, Aug. 8.—Grade and staple news service on cotton may be secured by any community where growers organize into groups on the basis of some im proved strain of cotton, says B. EL. G. Prichard, assistant extension agronomist. One or more groups, may be organized in one commu nity, each group selecting a dif ferent variety of cotton. These groups will include those persons who have planted this year the adopted variety of cotton and those who express an intention of planting the adopted variety next year, but only those persons in the group who now have the adopted variety will re ceive the service this year. In addition to staple and grade news, the group will receive price quotations daily which will be displayed in some public place ac cessible to every member of the group. This should be a very valuable service to those communities that organize this year in that ft will enable them to secure a better price for their improved cotton. South Carolina has made out standing progress in staple im provement for the last 10 yeaz^. and Prichard thinks that thks service should result in still fur ther progress in cotton staple im provement work. Any group interested In organis ing for grade and staple service may secure the necessary formes and assistance from county farm, agents.

Clemson, Aug. 6.—Surveys indi cate that in the Coastal and lower Piedmont sections of South Caro lina heavier weevil Infestations: were present on August 1 than at any other time within • the JaaL five years, according to W. C_ Nettles, extension entomologist. “Where farmers have followedl intelligent methods of cotton pro duction including early weevil control, prospects are still good! for moderately high cotton yields, even in the Coastal section”. Nes tles says. “In the upper Pied mont section some weevil activi ty is reported, but with some hot dry weather in August, weevil losses should be slight. “Heavy rains have caused mucta diedding of cotton squares and young bolls throughout the states md much of this has been attrib uted to the boll weevil. However^ Mie final result is the same,- cotton.” -TXT- Good Cows Well Fed Show Best Profits Clemson, Aug. 6.—That high- producing cows properly fed ane the most profitable is clearly il lustrated in a recent report on Oairy Herd Improvement Associa tion work in South Carolina, sa^na 1.
