THURSDAY, DEC. 1, 1960 THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE THREE FARM ij^ NOTES liuiuisl 1 ' (By County Agents) More Profit From Eggs Our egg producers are pretty happy these days. Egg prices are the best they have been in a long time. Also its good to see them getting a better price for eggs especially since egg prices were below the cost of production most of last year. Since the outlook for egg pric es during the next several months looks good, we’d like to remind our producers to do eveprthing possible to keep production up and take advantage of these satis factory prices. At present prices, $20 per month more profit can be realised by increasing egg pro duction five percent per 1,000 layers. Of course its pretty hard to increase production on most flocks that have already reached their peak in production. On the other hand it should be . ealized that a drop in productioi can cause a corresponding loss of pro fit. And that’s where most pro ducers can do something. First, consider that the pre sent egg-feed ratio, that is the cost of feed as compared to the price received for eggs is now very favorable to the producer. That means we can afford to feed just a little more in order to keep production up. Adequate feeding will become more impor tant as the weather turns colder. Next, if those laying houses are not ready for cold weather, get them ready. The weatherman has been too good to us thus far this fall. We’re bound to have to catch up with some cold and rainy weather before long. Laying houses must be adequately en closed to prevent drafts but must have good ventilation to keep down excessive moisture in the house. Excessive moisture is per haps onQ of the chief causes of respiratory infection in layers which can cause a severe slump in egg production. Keep the litter dry in the lay ing house. Wet litter probably causes more disease troubles in layers than any other one factor. Many producers use a motor pow ered garden tiller to keep litter stired and aired at weekly inter vals. Some also practice feeding oats by throwing them on top of the litter daily. In scratching for the oats, the hens help keep the litter stirred. Remember that hens must have plenty of water, even in freezing weather. Use electric warmers in the watering troughs, if possible. Finally, gather eggs frequently and carefully to both keep the eggs clean and prevent breakage. A 3 to 5 per cent loss due t o breakage can cause considerable loss of profit at present egg prices. Most of all, remember that the main reason egg prices are good is because the demand for eggs is strong at this time of the year and the supply gets smaller. The producer who can keep his birds at top production during this time is the one who makes the profit. 1960 Year End Tax Management Many farmers do not have to worry much about paying income taxes. This is true simply be cause on many farms expenses, plus depreciation, equals or ex ceeds income. However, for those farmers who do anticipate having to pay in come taxes for this year, it might be a good time to do a little fig uring on ways to keep down your taxes as much as possible. Remember that as income in creases, the tax percentage in creases. The best way to mini mize tax is to keep income on an even keel, not fluctuating from year to year. Properly applied tax management techniques, com bined with sounl farm management practices, can level income and expenses, saving you perhaps many dollars. If income in 1960 may be higher than expected in come during 1961, then you will w-ant to consider taking advan tage of several practices that w-ould adjust either income or ex penses to the best applicable year. For instance if income this year is higher than you expect it to be next year, you may w r ant to de fer sale of certain crops or live stock until after January 1, 1961. Another way is to increase ex penses during this year if this year is expected to be a higher income year than next year. This can be done by purchasing a part of your next year’s fertilizer or other supplies before the end of this year. Thus by shifting in come to 1961 or by bringing ex penses forward to this year, the margin between income and ex penses can be narrowed and may result in a tax saving.

BIRTH OF A SON Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Dawkins of Greenville announce the birth of a son in the Greenville Gener al hospital Nov. 28. The Dawkins have two other sons, Mike and Benjie. Mrs. Dawkins is the for mer Freda Lester. Mr. Dawkins is the son of Magistrate and Mrs. Ben F. Dawkins of Newberry. way of all to keep track of al lowable expenses and other de ductions is to keep an accurate farm account record. If you have not done so this year, by all means plan to start such a record at the first of next year. Turning the Corner As we wind up this year’s farm ing activities, it seems only nat ural to reflect on what has hap pened during this year. Some farmers have had a pretty good year, others have not fared too well, income-wise, that is. Some seem to think that' a new administration in Washington will solve a lot of the farmers’ pro blems. This we believe is a bit too much to hope for. Regardless of what programs may come from Washington or elsewhere, we be lieve it will require about the same things next year as were re quired this year to make satis factory profit from farming. From our viewpoint, it seems that it is those farmers who re alize that farming is now a com petitive, strictly business propo sition are those who continue to be successful. Times change and so must farmers if they are to stay in business. We hear a great deal about efficiency today. And that must be our watchword if we are to continue in a competi tive business. However, it seems that too many farmers think this means spending a great amount of money to change or modern ize their present operation. This is not necessarily true. Efficiency means making the best possible use of the resources a farmer has, including land, labor, equipment and capital. We feel that certain changes can be made on most farms with out spending a great deal of mon ey that would make it more effi cient. We urge you to give some thought to this idea in making your plans for next year.
