between the lines the treaty means
the establishment Of d French protee-

/ am thinking of ordering an improved stock
of chickens. What breed would you advise me to
order! Would il be best to order sitting of eggs
or a cockercl and pullet to start from! Who
would you recommend to order from in order to

(Answer by j. S. Jeffrey, Poultryman North
Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station.)
1t will be necessary before deciding what breed
will suit best to decide what you want to Il breed for
or what your market wants.
If you want eggs and that alone would say take
some variety of Leghorns, but if, as is the case
with most farmers, you want the breed which will
give the best results considering both eggs and
market value of stock, | would recommend either
Plymouth Rocks or Wyandottes. They will lay
nearly as many eggs as Leghorns and the surplus
males and old hens will bring more money when
marketed. Whether it is better to buy eggs or
stock will depend a good deal on how much money
you can put into the business. I do not think it
would be wise to buy stock unless you can buy at
least two pullets, and better three or four, and I
think perhaps even then you could get quite as
good results by buying eggs from some good
breeder. There are a great many breeders in the
or stock at reasonable prices, and give you good
value for your money. A number of these adver-
tise in The Progressive Farmer.

Cotton Fertilizer Formula.
Editors Progressive Farmer

Editors Progressive Farmer
Having mixed my fertilizers on the farm for
about twenty years, and having experimental with
nearly all the formula, used in Eastern North
Carolina, / am prepared to recommend the follow
ing as the best I can use for our section:
Acid phosphate, IA per cent. i 100 Tbs.
Cotton-seed meal, SH2 per cent. 600 lbs.
Nit. soda, 20 per cent. ........ lOO lbs.
Muir. potash, so per cent...... $50 lbs.
This as will readily be seen lacks so pounds of
being a ton, and will analyze as follows:
Phos. acid, 81a per cent;
Potash, 31a per cent;
Ammonia. 3A per cent.
This will cost laid down on the farm a little
more than 1 cent a pound, but as the most cost is
in the cotton-seed meal, and nearly all cotton
farmers have this ON the farm or can get it in
exchange for seed, it is for us the cheapest form
of ammonia.
l tried the 2 per cent potash mixtures, and it
does not give the success the higher grade gives;
for a more clayey soil less potash might do.
If my cotton is to be on pea-vine stubble, [ can
we'll afford less ammonia, sometimes dispensing
with the nitrate soda altogether.
From 400 to 500 pounds of the above mixture,
on a fairly good soil we'll tended, will make from
1900 to 1000 pounds of seed cotton per acre. l
have many times gathered the latter amount.
l wish l could impress upon the cotton farmers
of our State not to plant any more cotton this
year than they can reasonably hope to get from
each acre planted 1900 pounds seed cotton.
There is some cotton in the patches down east
yet. Farmers have offered 81 a hundred to get
it picked, and yet it shines about in some fields,
or did till the snow fell on it and outshines it. If
farmers will fertilize more and plant less per-
haps the SHOWS of next winter will not catch the
cotton in the patch. d. l..

LIVE. STOCK IN NORTH CAROLINA.
IV.-SWine Raising.
Progressive Farmer:

Editors Progressive Farmer:
Of the States bordering on the Atlantic from
Delaware to Florida, inclusive, North Carolina
ranks second in swine production. According to
the census of 1900 Georgia had 1,4OO,0 900 hogs, and
North Carolina 100000. At a glance this does
not show up badly, but a further study of Stats
tics shows this to be merely a reflection ON the
other South Atlantic States. The fact remains
that with this seemingly large numerical produc-
ton we get practically two-thirds of the swine
products we consume from without the State.
What is the matter? Let us make a comparison
with the conditions here and the conditions in the
North Central division of States, which might well
be called the seat of the swine raising industry of
the world. Iowa, in this section, is about the
same size as North Carolina. Yet when North
Carolina produces 100000, Iowa produces
100000. And again where the average value of
a hog in North Carolina is 1929, the average value
in Iowa is $4.15. Running this out further we
find the total value of swine in North Carolina to
be in round numbers, three million dollars; in
Iowa forty million, or a little more than thirteen
times the value of the North Carolina product.
In connection with this it should also be borne
in mind that Iowa has but half the number of
farm laborers that we have, and of course the
feeding and care of this swine is not s%implifed by
the level land, as is the cultivation of crops, nor
is it in anyway ''done by machinery"
1t is true that this north central section is the
great grain producing centre of the country, but
it is also true, or at least conceded by the best
agricultural authorities, that the grain produc-
ton of the north central States should be more
than counterbalanced by the large number of an
nual legumes and other forage crops which our
State can so abundantly grow.
According to the principles of division Of labor,
if there is to us more profit in something else than
in hog raising, why then we should raise that other
thing and exchange with the fellow who can make
the most out of raising hogs. But the fact is that
there is not only an extremely good profit in this
work, but too, the work can be done at such time
of the day as to not materially interfere with
other farm operations. j. S. GATES.
