eggs per person annually. Dieti-
tians say each person should have
az least 800 eggs a year.
Parrish attributed the low egg
production of the average North
Carolina hen to careless feeding
methods, bad flock management,
and inferior breeding.
Some farm flockS are neglected
shamefully, he declared, and it is
a wonder they lay enough eggs to
hatch and replace the birds that
die or are killed for food.
DEMONSTRATION FLOCKS
On the other hand, he added,
demonstration flocks over the
state have shown that with good
care. North Carolina birds can
average l59 eggs each per year,
and this figure Is expected to go
still higher.
"In fact. some of the demon
stration flocks have already gone
much higher than this l59-egg
average" Parrish commented.
The demonstration flockS are
managed by poultrympn who CO.
ouerate with the farm agents,
keep careful records on their birds
and make monthly sepOrts to the
State college extension poultry
department.
The extension poultry special
lists study the records and make
recommendation for needed i'm
provement in feeding, breeding,
and general flock management.

Good Stockman
Always Prepared
To Face Drouth
Should Control Breeding;
Silos' Costumes Is Worn
Out Excuse
BY L. I. CASE
Livestock Specialist, North Caro-.
lima State College

It's a grand feeling when one
sees the grass growing rank in the
meadows and pastures. The aes-
thetic soul sees the beauty of it.
The city person thinks of a vaca-
ton in the country. The small
boy thinks of it as a good place
to play. The golfer thinks of bet
ter fairways. But the livestock
man thinks of feed for his cattle
or his sheep or his work stock.
SUMMER DROUTH
First, about that possible sum-
mer drouth. Annual pastures are
excellent insurance against a dry
period which nearly always comes
some time during the grazing
season. Crops suitable for filling
in the gaps of short permanent
pastures are Sudan grass, millet,
soybeans, and lespcdcZa. Sudan
grass and soybeanS have given
excellent results for emergency
grazing. They may be grown sep
arately or together. The Biloxi
soybean is best suited for grazing
purposes Where soybeans and
Sudan grass are to be grown to-
gether. it is best to plant the soy
beans first and give them one cul-
tivation before the Sudan grass is
sown between the rows. This gives
the soybeans more of an equal op-
portunity against the faster grow
inc grass crop. Some farmers
have practiced very successfully
rotational grazing on these crops
planted separately or together.
The crop is divided into five plots.
each with a temporary fence, and
grazed four or five days each I'M
til most of the leaves are eaten
from the soybeans and the Sudan
grass is eaten close. Then the
stock is moved to the next area.
When the fifth plot is finished the
first is ready again. 1t takes from
20 to % days for either crop to
come back and be ready for an
other grazing. .
The rice thing about any OF
these annual crops is that If they
are not needed for grazing they
may be used for hay or as a seed
crop.
PLAN FOR WINTER
The next thing to do is to plan
The next thing to do is to plan
for the winter. That's the critical
time for many stockmen and one
can sleep much better when he
knows his stock is amply nour-
ished and comfortable. Stalk fields
of corn and soybeans furnish a
considerable amount of feed that
beef cattle can utilize. Then there
are the winter cover crops of rye
and other small grains, together
with winter legumes, which also
are verv useful for grazing pur-
poses when the ground is not too
wet. Also a certain amount of
hay is usually produced on most
farms.
SILAGE NOW USED
All these feeds are useful Tor
wintering cattle but there is an
other feed that is becoming more
and more popular. That is silage.
More feed can be produced on a
given area in a silage corn than
by any other means. The old ex-
cuse about the initial cost of build
ing a silo no longer holds, for we
are finding that silage crops can
be preserved just as well OF per-
haps better in a trench silo than
in the more expensive upright silo.
Corn is the main silage crop

North Carolina poultry flocks,
without adding another hen, could
produce all the eggs this state
needs for home consumption, ac-
cording to extension poultry spe-
cialiStS at State college.
At present, however, the hens
are producing about oGc-third
that amount, and although mill
lions of eggs are imported into the
state every year, few North Caro-
lininians get all the eggs they
should have, the specialists point
ed out.
This shortage is due to the low
average production per hen. an
average that could be more than
trebled, said c. F. Parrish: in
charge Of poultry extension.
The average yearly production
of all hens and pullets in North
Carolina flocks is about 90 eggs
each, he said.
Since there are a number Of
birds producing 200 to $50 eggs
each per year, this means that
many other hardly produce
enough to make. good setting
of eggs" he said.
Last year, he said, the 55,277
birds i'm the PSF demonstration
f!ockS that made monthly reports
TO State college averaged 1919
eggs per bird during the year.
If all S,SO6.O00 chickens in the
state were producing 100 eggs
each per year, the total prOduc-
ton would be around 100000
600 eggs, or enough to give every
person in the state an egg every
day, with some to spare.
But the total state production
is only about 520,000,0OO eggs,
which provides an estimated lao
