PRODUCE lNFERTlLE EGGS

Florida farmers who are seeking
top prices for eggs will dispose OF
their roosters. A fertile egg, one
that comes from letting the male bird
run with the flock, will not keep well
and will be rejected by particular
market. Many such eggs will spoil
before they can be taken to market
Infertile eggs keep best and market
best in summer, and these can be
produced only by keeping the roost.

Sanborn, of the University of Flor.
ida extension division.
The eggs laid by hen may be
either fertile or infertile, depending
on whether or not the male bird has
been allowed to run with the female
A fertile Aegg is one in which the
germ has been fertilized Except foI
this process of fertilization, the male
bird has NO influence upon the eggs
which the hens lay Egg production
is equally great in fiocks from which
roosters are excluded.
A fertile egg does not keep as well
as an infertile one, because the fer
tilted germ responds more readily
to high temperature. 1t is impossible
to hatch an infertile egg or to cause
blood ring to form in one. Such
eggs are more likely to reach the
table in good condition and there is
much less spoilage in shipments.
After the hatchng season the male
birds should be removed from the
flock. In approximately II days af

OUR DUTY TO TIE NEGRO

An increasing acknowledgment on
the part of the people of the South
of the necessity and obligation to
bring the negro to a higher plane
morally, spiritually, is noticeable. 1t
appeared in the recent community
work conference held in Dade City
and Rev. o. T. TeBow brings it back
from the great Baptist convention IL
Atlanta.
The negro should have more atten-
tion and assistance by reason of his
proven loyalty and patriotism in the
last two years and the part he played
in the world war.
The Christian people of America
intend to evangelize and improve the
condition of all people of the world
on larger scale than ever attempted
before. Just to save ourselves from
the charge of hypocracy we should
be as interested in the Florida negro
as in the savage of Africa.
1t has been said correctly that tu,
Derculosis and other infectious dis
eases cannot be kept out of the White
family when it thrives in the negro
cabin where the white familv's wash
ing is done. The negro influences
the white people in many ways
and that influence cannot be for the
best when we fail to give the negro
the training and environments that
he should have.
Complaint of the incompetency Of
negro labor is common. Whose fault
is it? The negro is plastic and we
! can make him about the creature we
would have him to be. If all negro
children were required to attend and
were taught to be morally and physi-
cally clean, if the boys were trained
in agriculture, care of live stock and
handling of tools, and the girls were
drilled in all domestic work and the
science Of right living, do you imag-
inc there would be much complaint in
regard to negro labor? Again. Why
not do as much for Florida negroes
as for native Africans?
The good stockmen looks carefully
after the proper housing and ctnita,
ton Of his horses, mules, cows and
hogs. He has learned that it is mon
ey saved to do so. Should we not do
as much for the negro as the farmer
for his hogs If we are really Chris
tians, should we not go considerably
further?-Dade City Banner.

used for a general storage and junl
room, and il was in bad state of re
pairs.
We found thirty-seven girls, rang
