Campaign to Eliminate Poo1
Producing Hens Opens
August 1.

1t is safe to say that fully 25 to So
per cent of the hens which make up
the farm flock of poultry do not lay
enough eggs to pay for the food they
consume. Many hens are kept from
three to five years on the farm and
such individuals are always a loss
to their owners. By keeping the best
layers and culling the poor produc-
ers a greater profit will be derived
from the farm flock. Again the eggs
will be Matched from only heavy lay
ers and this will have tendency to
increase the laying qualities of the
next generation. By disposing of all
inferior hens during the early fall
sSficient room is provided for the
years young flock. This will allow
them more housing space and the
health Of the flock will be increased
thus causing a greater egg produc-
tion.
The County Home Demonstration
Agent of Edgefeld county is plan
ming a poultry culling campaign as a
regular part of her yearly work. The
campaign will be carried on from
August 1st to October 18th, as it has
been proven that the best results are
obtained during this season.
The purposeDf the campaign Is TO
enable the farm owner to realize a
greater profit from the poultry hock.
With the, present prices of corn and
other food stuffs it is necessary to
Gull out the poor producer or board
feed as possible; to keep the best
feed as possible; to keep tahe best
layers for another season; to pro-
vide sufficient space for this years
young flock, and thus make it pos
sible to receive the greatest possible
returns from the farm flock.
1t has been only in the. past few
years that the culling work could be
successfully carried on. The U. S.

Meeting Street Can Yet Have
Campaign Meeting.

The Advertisers Meeting Street
correspondent, 81. H. Co." is of the
opinion that the executive committee
ignored Meeting Street in arranging
ing the schedule of the county cam
paign meetings. As chairman of the
committee I desire to correct this er-
roneous impression. When the COM
mittee met to arrange the schedule
of meetings the member from the
Meeting Street club was unavoidably
absent and the committee had no in
timation that the Meeting Street
community desired a meeting held
there. Some communities did not
want campaign meeting, three :nem
bers of the executive committee re-
questing that no meetings be held in
their communities.
If the people Of Meeting Street
desire county campaign meeting,
one can yet be easily arranged. If
they will notify me what date will
suit them best, 1 will add it to the
schedule and publish the date along
with the other meetings. Without
having the opportunity to confer
with the members of the cammittee
or with any of the citizens of the
Meeting Street community, I do not
feel warranted as chairman in select
ing a date myself. But if the people
of Meeting Street will confer and
agree upon a date, such meeting will
be announced as one of the county
campaign meetings. I trust that this
explanation will be satisfactory.

Department of agriculture and the
different state universities through
the efforts of their poultry depart
ments have been able to make a
scientific study of poultry and it is
through their efforts that the Gull
ing work has been made possible.
The selection of the good produc-
ing is very simple and most anyone,
after a few moments practice can
successfully perform the work. The
time of the year the hen sheds her
feathers, the color of the leg of the
bird, comb combination and other
simple physical characteristics are
considered.
