PAGE EIGHT THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1940 Timely Information By The County Agent A careful study of large and small poultry enterprises over a period of years by Clemson poultry specialists has disclosed that several important factors determining the profit to be made from any given poultry enter prise include yearly egg production, fall and winter production, flock mor tality, and overhead costs, says Coun ty Agent P. B. Ezell. Yearly egg production and winter egg production are about equally in fluenced by breeding and manage ment he explains. Mortality is also greatly influenced by breeding and by the ability of the poultryman to keep his flock free from disease, especially from paralysis. Overhead costs are influenced by many things, including labor, effi ciency, volume of business, and other costs which are largely deter mined by the thrift of the poultry- man. Many poultrymen in the state, the agent points out, are making flocks averages of 150 to 200 eggs per bird, with low mortality and excellent pro duction in fall and winter which is the time when prices are usually highest. Nearly every accomplishment of this kind is done by securing stock from a source where progress has been made in breeding for these fac tors. At present 12 Record of Perform ance breeders in the state are produc ing baby chicks with real breeding behind them. Also, a number of U. S. Certified hatcheries, which head all breeding flocks with males from dams with 200 eggs or more, offer well bred chicks. These chicks cost only a few cents more than chicks with very little or no breeding and often return a dozen eggs for each cent invested, Mr. Ezell declares. For the proper care of livestock in the late fall County Agent P. B. Ezell calls the attention of Newberry County farmers to these reminders: Animal Husbandry Breed sows for spring litters. Have all weanling pigs double-treated for cholera. To prevent the beef herd losing the weight gained on pasture, supply cheap roughage and a little cottonseed meal. Fatten a beef ani mal to be slaughtered later for home use. Remove the ram from the ewe flock. Feed idle mules ample rough- age and give only half ration of con centrates. See that all livestock have shelter and bedding during cold rainy weather. Dairying Increase the bam feed as pastures are killed by frost. Let the cows clean up the corn and hay fields after these crops have been gathered. Pro vide warm, dry, clean stalls for fall- bom calves. Use a carefully selected purebred dairy bull from proved high- producing ancestry. Use November spare time remodeling barns, putting in concrete floors, and other im- \ Get on the Bandwagon 1 ^ Here’s why motorists are voting Pure Oil’s Bumper-to-Bumper Change-Over the biggest value in getting cars ready for winter.

Hare: “The Cooperative Farm Forest Act of 1937 provides that the Federal government may cooperate with in dividual states in the production, pro curement, and distribution of trees for reforestation. Trees suitable for timber may be obtained at a cost of $1.50 per thousand, and interested persons will be able to secure full in formation by writing the State Fores ter, Columbia, South Carolina. I am advised that over six million trees were distributed to South Carolina farmers last year, the predominating species being slash pine and loblolly pine. Other species are available, ex cept ornamental or shade trees. “It has been suggested that practi cally any young farmer by investing $10.00 per annum in pine trees over a period of six or eight years and set ting them on waste or non-forested lands can insure himself with a liv ing income from such timber, after he reaches 50 years of age for the re mainder of his life.” BETH-EDEN LUTHERAN PARISH Rev.
