FARMERS FIND CULLING
REMOVES STACKER HENS

During the last few weeks many
Kentucky farmers and poultrymen
have discovered that their flocks con.
tain a considerable number of lOafeT
to market without seriously reducing
the total number of eggs received,
according to early reports which are
being received at the College of Ag-
riculture from farmers who cooper
ated with the extension division in
having their flOcks culled as demon
STATIONS for interested persons in
their communities. In one case the
| egg production of the flock was in
creased despite the fact that one
third of the birds in it were removed
as culls in the demonstration. This
was partially due to the fact that
the remaining hens we're allowed to
utilize the feed which originally had
been given to the non-laying hens.
w. L. Lloyd-Smith, a Union coun-
ty farmer living near Boxville, re-
ported that his flock of Single Comb
White Leghorns produced as many
eggs during the first week after sew
en- culls had been removed as it did
the previous week. During the week
before the culling, the 45 Leghorns
produced a total of 202 eggs, while
the 3S hens that were kept produced
the same number during the follow
ing week On the other hand, the
seven culls which were removed pro-
duced only one egg during the week
after they were culled out and con-
fined by themselves.
A flock of hens owned by j. w. AL
exander, an owen county farmre liv-
ing near Wheatley, produced 22 eggs
more during the week after culling
than it did during the seven days
before culling despite the fact that
one-third of the hens in the flock
were thrown out because they show
ed Characteristic signs of being non
producers. The 80 hens in this flock
produced a total of l6l eggs during
the week before being culled. while
the 60 that were kept as layers pro-
duced a total Of 1873 eggs during the
week after culling. The 80 culls in
this case produced only one egg dur
ing the week after they were remov-
ed. Similar results were obtained by
Mrs. f. E. Brainer. living near Phil
pot. Daviess county. Nine culls re-
moved from her flock OF "a hens
produced only one egg during the
week after culling.

Meanwhile, the fact is that the

anybody. Woman has not been ad-

Longer skirts would not improve

KENTUCKY STANDS FIFTH
IN BETTER STOCK DRIVE

Kentucky is continuing to make
steady progress in the Better Sires.
Better Stock campaign being con-
Quoted throughout the country by
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture in cooperation with the
various state agricultural colleges,
according to a progress report which
has just been received by T. r. Bry-
ant, assistant director of extension
work at the College of Agriculture.
The state now stands fifth among all
those in the union in the number Of
farmers who have been enrolled in
the drive against scrub breeding ami
mails, being preceded by Ohio, vir-
ginia, Nebraska and Washington.
Since the beginning Of the cam
paign, at which time Kentucky stood
at the bottom of the list of states in
the number of farmers who had
agreed to use nothing but purebred
sires in all their breeding work, the
state has forged rapidly to the front
through the work carried on by coun-
ty agricultural agents and specialists
from the college, Mr. Bryant said. At
the present time total of 401 Ken
lucky farmers have Joined the cam
paign, these farmers being the own
ers of total of 1O,54O purebred ami
mails and 54,262 chickens. Ohio,
which heads the list, has a total of

ment.
Work being carried on by county
agricultural agents and the college
extension division at the present time
promises to advance the standing of
the state in the drive. Mr.. Bryant de-
clared. The work is being launched
in practically all parts of the state,
while many farmers are showing an
increased interest in the value of bet.
ter breeding animals, he said.
At the present time Oldham county
is playing an important part in the
progress which is being. made by the
state. County Agent Gordon Nance
has reported that 81 additional farm.
ers in that county recently applied
for enrolment in the campaign by
agreeing to use nothing but purebred
sires in all their breeding work. This
brings the total enrolment of farm
ers in that county up to JOB. The
! progress report which has just been
received shows that only 10 counties
in the United States have a greater
enrolment than 1O3 farmers at the
\ present time.

STEVENS COUNTY SOIL
SURVEY COMPLETED
Valuable Map Showing Soils of
County May Be Obtained
Free

That much better crops are OBJ
tanned from many fields in Stevens
County, Minnesota, when phos-
plate fertilizer is applied is shown
by a completed survey of the coun-
ty by the Bureau of Soils, United
State Department of Agriculture,
in cooperation with Minnesota's ag-
ricultural college. This agrees with
the results of experiments conducted
under actual field conditions several
years ago by the experiment station.
According to the report of the sur
vey, although the use of phosphate
is advised, this does not mean that
it is impossible to obtain good crops
without it.
From an experiment conducted on
one of the fields in the county, it
appears that acid phosphate can not
profitably be used where there is
sufficient manure to apply as much
as tons per acre once every 4
years; neither does it appear profit
able to supplement manure with
phosphates. However, only enough
livestock is kept on the farms in
Stevens County to furnish manure
for approximately 40 per cent of the
improved area, says the report In
view Of this fact, It appears that a
large quantity Of acid phosphate
might be used with profit.
The report of the survey, also,
gives much helpful information re-
garding temperature. frost, and safe
dates for planting various crops
which will mature in the growing
season of the county. A colored map
has been prepared showing the loca-
ton Of each type of soil. This, when
used in connection with the report
regarding the different kinds of soil,
will help in deciding on purchasing
a farm or moving from a farm in
one section of the county to one in
another

survey may be obtained free by send
