TIM FL FARM TOPICS
 by the County Agricultural Agent

In last weeks issue of this paper l wrote an article on Inoculating Put lets for Chicken Pox. This is just the first step in the More Eggs Per Bird Program" to be carried out by the Windham County Farmers Assoeia- ton and the Extension Service of the Connecticut Agricultural College.
 The following program was adopt ed by the Poultry Committee of the Windham County Farmers Associa- ton after much discussion on each topic. The committee met on June 25th and the program was one that would increase the eggs per bird and thus increase the profits of the poul- tryman.
 1. Inoeulate bullets for chicken pox. If you did not read last weeks article you can have detailed inform ation on this point by writing to your county agent.
 2. Follow barracks system-Light old hens after August 18th. Hold old hens rather than cull in August. Light on August 18th at 3 a. m., standard time. Hold production during high fall egg prices.
 8. House bullets when production starts and feed to hold body weight. Avoid continued production on range, which reduces body weight and leads to a fall mott.
 4. Light bullets when production lags-but not before October 18th unless they start molting. A decrease in egg production and body weight must be met by increased food con sumption through lighting.
 5. Provide clean, well ventilated houses and feed the New England ra- ton. Morning, wheat in litter early. Noon, germinated oats. milk and oil. night, grain in troughs. At all times, mash in non-waste hoppers.
 Details of this program will be pub ished as the time for their adoption draws near or if anyone wishes he may have advance information by getting in touch with me at the office in Putnam.
