Purebred Pay in Poultry

That the value of purebrei males
counts as much in poultry raising as
in stock raising is shown by the rec
ords of three floeks of Leghorns, the
data for which has been supplied the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture by the North Carolina Expert
ment Station. Flock /. the egg pro
duction of which is included in these
records, consisted Of common hens
fock 2 was produced by breeding
these hens to common Males flock 3
was produced by breeding flock to a
rooster from high-producing hen.
The following year the original flock
laid 80 ekgs hen; flock 2 laid an av-
erage of SO eggs hen; and flock 3
laid an average of 1856 eggs hen.
This increase Of 50 per cent in one
year tells very specifically the benefits
of using purebred male. But the
percentages alone do not tell the
whole story. for a big proportion of
the increase came at season-May
and June-when the production of
fiocks / and 2 was relatively low and
the prices were good.

1920 Census

The County Agent has been sup
pliei with sample schedules of the
1920 census, dealing with the agricul-
tural information which the census
covers. Actual taking of the census
will begin January LIST, 1920, and as
no previous census has ever been so
complete in the survey of the coun-
try's agriculture, it would save con-
siderable time if farmers could ac-
quaint themselves with the census
sheet before the numerator calls.
This sheet calls for detailed infor-
nation regarding receipts of form
production, also the amount of farm
expenses, both of which have an econ
omic value in working out the agri-
cultural problems of the country
These census figures will bring out
important facts regarding the farm
business which, if made use of. will
be of much value to farmers in de-
termining the profit from their farm
operations.
The census schedule also includes
details which will be important in
connection with making income tax
returns.
AS far as possible, the County
Agent will be glad to furnish farmers
with copies of the census blanks, and
assist them in filling it out, prepare
tory to being ready for the census
taker when he arrives

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL AND
FARM BUREAU NEWS

the state agricultural colleges and
other agencies Interested in livestock
improvement, began q national better
livestock crusade. October 1, under
the slogan of Better Sires-Better
Stock"
The plan is to hasten the replace
ment of the multitude of scrub domes-
tic animals in the United States with
pure-bred or high-grade stock and al
so to improve the quality of pure
bre4s themselves. 1t has been evolve /
through long and careful observation
q the live stock industry in this coun-
try and after extensive consultation
with specialists and breeders.
for many years this country has
contained thousands of the finest
specimens of live stock in the world,
but in spite of that fact the quality
and productive capacity of the aver
age farm herd and flock is still low
For instance. the average dairy COW in
re q lte states yielus about 1000
pounds of milk year, figure scarce
ly two-thirds the average production
i'll some European countries, such as
Denmark. The United States has
thousands of COWS which have milk
yields of more than $4,000 pounds
double the Damage average-but on
the other hand it has hundreds of
thousands which are kept for milk and
yet yield only small fraction as
much product as the best cows. though
receiving nearly as much feed and
care.
The difference in milk yield is due
IN large measure to difference in
breeding, but herd of low production
can be improved rapidly by the use of
a pure-bred sire from family of high
producers.
Among all classes of live stock a
similar condition exists. Proper
breeding of beef animals results in
better and more uniform stock, having
greater percentage of desirable cuts
of meat and smaller quantity of
bone, offal, and inedible parts. Like
wise in swine, sheep, goats. and poul-
try production, the kind of parent
stock largely determines the quality
md market value of the products.
The crusade of Improvement now to
be undertaken is the outgrowth of in
veStigations in genetics, of livestock
observation in many countries, and a
close study of public opinion.
The means of accomplishing most
Of the improvement-whi affects
about 200. 900, 600 head of live stock,
besides poultry will be through wild
err distribution and increased use of
pure-bred sires and dams.
The Department of Agriculture,
through its cooperative state AGENCIES,
is preparing to supply livestock rails
ers with printed information that tells
in popular language the best animal
breeding methods and the advantages
to be derived from their use In ad-
aition. the Department of Agriculture
is TO furnish an official emblem, suita-
BILE for display, to every farmer agree
ing to use only pure-brei sires and in
other ways to cooperate in the better
livestock effort.

of the country naturally look to agri-
officials to inaugurate cru

Weekly Market Reports

The County Agent wishes to call
the attention of all farmers to the
Weekly Market Reports which are
sent out to all members of the Wind
ham County Farmers Association
who have paid their membership fee
of one dollar or more. This weekly
market report quotes retail prices for
Putnam and Webster. with compar-
alive list of wholesale prices for the
week in Boston, and is of the greatest
value to the farmer in the disposal of
his weekly product. The County
Agent also furnishes the Daily Mar
ket report issued by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture from its Boston
office and giving quotations and ship
ments.

allow for growth of the. tree as long
as it needs protection
However, many people do not care
to put out the cost of wire guards;
and in this case, cheap building pa
per, such as is used undsT shingles,
may be used. Pieces of the measure
ments given above may be cut and
wrapped around the trunks of tae
trees Where thases are, unt on early
in the season and the ground is not
frozen, it is advisable to insert the
bottom in the soil a couple of inches.
1t is necessary to tie. paper guards at
the bottom and top. This may be
done by taking a sufficient length of
string to tie up the bottom, then
winding it around the paper once or
twice, and fastening. it again at the
top. The paper guards can be re
moved each spring. and If care is TAX
en-, the same guards may be used for
several years.

Protect Young Apple Trees

Many instances of serious damage
done to young apple trees by field
mice have been called to the attention
of the County Agent during the past
year. This can almost be entirely
done away with. and damage insured
against, if due precautions are taken
in season.
Perhaps the first thing to do is to
clean away all rubbish around the
trees. In addition, fruit growers are
becoming more and more convinced
of the necessity and advisability of
protecting young trees with guards.
In general, guards of e-quarter
inch mesh wire are to be preferred.
They last for years, and in the long
rum cost least. Guards are usually
from fifteen to eighteen inches in
height. and of sufficient diameter to
circle the tree and give ample space
between the wire and tree. They

New Branch Swift & Co. to Handle
Beef and Sheep

A G. Skinner, sheep specialist for
the Connecticut Agricultural Colleye,
has advised the Farmers Association
that Swift & Co.. 163-l6J Long
" harf, New Haven, Conn, will buy
and slaughter sheep and LAMBS,
whether the farmer has one of car
load. The commission charge is six
ty cents per head for handling. The
farmer is paid in full for the carcass
and the pelt, and receives a statement
covering the items in the transaction.
For the past six months the price of
sheep pelts has averaged not less than
$2.5 to $500 each, whereas in most
cases the farmer is obliged to sell for
lac to $3.50
Beef cattle are handled in a similar
manner to the sheep, although the
commission charge is slightly higher.
