Many People Will Not Order Farm

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Asriculturs.)
For producers who wish to market by
parcel post the most satisfactory way
q AndiRg customers is to write to
friends, relatives. or acquaintances in
cities, seeking their trade, say special
lists Of the bureau Of markets, United
States Department OF Agriculture.
Purchasers, on the other hand, often
can locate reliable producers by cor
respondence with friends. relatives, or
acQuaintGnces in the country. More
than Is per cent Of the produce being
marketed ~ parcel post In q number
of cities In which Investigations have
been made is sent by persons who
obtain their customers In this way.
Making business contact is less diff
cult between friends because there is
an absence Of the suspicion and dis
trust that sometimes is found between
strangers. Many persons will not
order farm produce from strangers
because they do not know the condi-
lions under which the articles are
produced, II Is said.
Although ways Of obtaining custom
ers are numerous, no method is so
promising 40 that Of working up a
trade with or through friends. This
method Of establishing business rela-
tiOnship Is especially recommended for
the general farmer who has q limited
amount Of produce Those who wish
to market great deal Of produce by
parcel post may dnd 1t necessary to
obtain customers by personally solicit
Ing strangers or through advertising
In newspapers and by other public
means. Another method is to write
to friends In the city, asking for
list It acquaintances who would proba-
bly, hs interested In receiving table
supplies By parcel Iost.

they can be closed at night, to keep
out cats, rats, and other animals, and
enough ventilation should be allowed
so that the hen and chicks will have
plenty of fresh air.
The hen should be confnd In the
coop until the chicks are weaned,
while the chicks are allowed free
range after they are few days
old. Where hens are allowed free
range and have to forage for feed for
themselves and chicks, they often
take the latter through wet grass,
where they may become chilled and
die. Most Of the feed the chicks get
by foraging goes to keep up the heat
OF the body, whereas feed eaten by
those that are with the hen that Is
confined produces more rapid growth,
as the chicks do not have so much
exercise.
In most broods there are one or two
chicks that are weaker than the
others, and If the hen is allowed free
range the weaker ones often get be-
hind and out Of hearing of the moth
er's cluck and call. In most cases
this results In the loss and death Of
these chicks. due to becoming chilled.
II the hen is confined, the weaklings
can always find shelter and heat un-
der her, and after a few days may
develop into strong, healthy chicks.
The loss in young chicks due to al
lowing the hen free range Is I'M
doubtedly large, say poultry special
lists In the United States Department
of Agriculture. Chicks frequently have
TO be caught and put into their coops
during sudden storms, as they are apt
to huddle In some hole or corner
where they get chilled or drowned.
They must be kept growing constantly
IL the best results are to be obtained,
as. they never entirely recover from
checks In their growth, even Tor
short period. Hens are usually left
with their chicks as long as they will
brood them, although some hens COM

;INFERTILE EGGS KEEP BEST
Get Rid Of All BOOSTERS as Soon as Pos

! Separate Them.

The poultry flock can get along per"
t'fectly we'll without the rooster just as
soon as you are through saving hatch
ting eggs. The sooner the male birds
fare taken from the flock and marketed,
sor killed, or placed in separate runs,
the better. Infertile eggs are always
best for market; for the summer mar

tile eggs keep better than the fertile
zones. One more thing: The male
birds will not increase egg production

mouths to feed while the hens are
hustling to pay their own keep.

farms selected ~ specialists Of the
!United States Department Of Agri-
culture in the region mentioned. and
the results are embodied In Farmers
Bulletin 978, which may be had free
upon application to the division OF
publications.
The bulletin shows that the average
yield Of corn for the state is 1850
bushels an acre, while on the ten
selected farms 1t Is $3.50 bushels; the
average wheat yield for the state
7 Is Is bushels and for the ten farms

farms 2.65 tons; while the three
farms that grew oats produced an
average Of 45 bushels an acre as COM

bushels.
/; A survey Of 37e farms in Chester
county on which exceptionally-high
standards Of management are main
tanned. including close attention to
handling Of barnyard manure, showed
an average corn yield of 6S.8 bushels;
wheat 24.8, and oats 41.6. The com

~, the specialists say, cannot be
credited entirely to the way in which
manure is handled. because the soil
In that county is much better than the
states average soil, but special at

Of that county's farming.

Examine carefully the pictures of the

Attend public sales held by breed

the remarks made with reference to
the breeding Of different animals. An
appreciation of the esteem In which
the breeders hold blood lines Of diff
ferent individuals may be gained by
noting the prices paid and the activity
Of the bidding on them. A word Of
caution here, however, may be neces-
sery. Breeders frequently become
overenthusiastic on family bloodlines
regardless of how distant they may
be. In analysing a pedigree consider
carefully the sire. grandsires, and
great-grandsires, or parents In the first
three generations, for they contribute
seven-eighths of the heredity. Look
for the names Of famous individuals
In these first three generations. Back

School Gardens.

Is there ground available for school
gardens? Some schools have rented
vacant lots and fields near the school
house for their gardens and have sue
ceeded In earning money on them,
which has been used for other school
projects or equipment. A certain
school has an orchard of 100 trees, in
which the children are given practical
instruction on the care of fruit trees
the profit from the sale Of the fruit
goes to the school; and the orchard
serves as a model for the community.
Is it possible or advisable In your
school to have gardens and orchards
so managed that they will make sub
stantial contributions to the upkeep
Of various school activities. and at
the same time provide valuable practi-
cal laboratory training for the pupils
This IS a community problem, which
may be solved best, perhaps. by gen.
eral discussion.
