EGG OUTPUT
BOOSTED BY
40 PER CENT
J. w. Plain, Kanuga Road,
Spurs Leghorns During
MouIting Time

J. w. Plain, resident on the
Kanuga road, is enthusiastic over
his success with egg production
at the moulting period of his
flock Of 400 white Leghorns.
Mr.. Plain applied the plans of
the Ohio experiment station Of
using electric lights all night and
a feed Of wet mash at the ap-
proach of the moult period in Oc-
tober.
He said he kept up SO per
cent production when 10 per cent
was regarded a good average. Mr..
Plain says his poultry is a paying
investment and that he would. like
to increase his flock TO 1000,
which is his goal.
Mr.. Plain and family have been
here two years, coming from
Chicago, and all are delighted
with the climate. The family is
also keeping u few colonies of
bees.

LOYALISTS READY
TO QUIT TERUEI,

BARCELONA. Jan. 25. (UP)
The loyalist armies are preparing
to surrender the Aragonese city
OF Teruel, if necessary, but its
loss will neither surprise nor dis
hearten' Republican leaders, it
day.
Civil and military leaders. es-
tabllShed in Teruel since govern
ment troops seized the city from
the insurgents on Dec. 81. were
described as preparing the ground
Tor evacuation if and when it be-
comes necessary.
1t was explained that. if the in
surgents re-occupy the city lying
at the tip of Generalissimo Fran
cisco Frances Aragon salient, the
l0yalists "still will regard the
Teruel battle as a great victory"
Foreign observers here were in
c!ined to agree with this official
viewpoint.

ages. A third is the use Of ra-
tions economically and efficiently
balanced with protein-rich concen-
trates.
On this subject, d.. F. b. Nor
rison comments, in his standard
text, Feeds and Feeding as 1oi-
lows:
GAS q rule it will be found wise
to raise all the needed roughage
possible on the farm. On the other
hand it is often economical to sell
more or less Of the farm-groWn
grains and replace them with pur-
chased protein-rich concentrates
which economically supplement the
farm-gr0wn feeds"
USING SOUTHERN FEEDS
North Carolina farmers, on the
whole. seldom produce surplus
of grains and roughages. Many,
in fact, produce less grain aud
rouyhamc than is needed. For this
reason. they need such available
products as cottonsced meal and
hulls both for supplements and TO
take the place Of grains and rough
ages not produced.
By using cottonseed meal, or
cake, and hulls along with farm
grains and roughages. the North
Carolina farmer makes maximum
use of homegrown feeds. Feed
ing authorities agree that many
farmers can obtain more value.
from their own feeds than they
are now obtaining.

BIRDS STILL
BIGGEST FOES
FOR INSECTS
Farmers Help Selves in
Providing Winter
Shelter, Food

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Jan. 25.-Birds are North Caro-
lima farmers most valuable allies
in checking voracious insect
hordes, according to Ross 0.
Stevens of the State college zoOl-
ogv department.
In helping birds to find food
and shelter during the winter,
farmers and others are helping
themselves, tevens pointed Sout.
These winged friends act as a
natural check on insects and the
extent to which the pests will be
held low in numbers will depend
greatly upon the way that men
care for these insect-destroyers.
More birds will result if grow
ers leave strips of uncut grain
and lespedeZa next to good cover,
Stevens said, and plant food
patches especially for these wild
creatures. -Fruit-bearing shrubs
can be planted and encouraged to
grow naturally IN the out-of-way
places with great benefit to many
forms of wildlife.
Stevens explained that some of
the most beneficial birds nest in
cavities of trees and in other hal
low structures. Many times they
can be induced to live in q prop
erly located nest box and, if
erected at this time of the year,
these boxes will have weathered
by next spring and will DE more

Tree Planting On
Texas Planes Now
Shows Benefits
80 Percent Of $4,000 Set
Out Survive; May End
Dust Ravage

DALHART, Texas, Jan. 25.-
(UP)-Tree-planting on the Great
Plains should result IN a decline
in the ravageS from wind and
dust, Charles van Gorder believes.
Van Gordcr is forester for an
experimental project near Dalhart
for the soil conservation service.
During the three years since the
project was originated, at the
height of the dust plague, tiny
trees have grown into 12-foot sap
lings. Of $4,000 trees planted and
receiving minimum care" for test
purposes, so per cent have sur
vived.
Survivals range downward from
the % per cent of the thorny
honey locust. One Russian null
berry has grown since 1885 from
IS inches to II feet in height.
LITTLE CARE REQUIRED
"The high percentage of survSv-
ais indicates that trees will Eve In
this semi-arid area with a mini
mum of care" said Van GoroSr.
ut has been shown that trees can
be grown into excellent wind
breaks within a short time. Suit
able planting and n few timely
civilizations each year furnish the
keynote to successful tree plant
ing in what once was the center
of the Dust Bowl"
Principal experiments in use of
trees on the plains have been with
farmstead and field border wind
breaks. The farmstead type usu-
ally consists of three rows of trees
planted on the north and west
sides of a farm home and other
buildings to break the force Of the
wind, effecting some saving on
fuel in addition to lessening the
winds force. Such windbreaks for
farm animals also increase their
value and make their feeding more
profitable.
SINGLE ROW BREAKS WIND
The field border windbreaks are
a single row of trees, planted
around the edge of a field to re-
duce drifting of the top-soil.
Since most wind erosion on the
plains is started by loose earth on
the fields edges, the border trees
reduce such damage materially.
Van Gorder also revealed that the
row of 5-year-old trees disrupted
the force of straight winds and
directed the force upward past the
vulnerable portions Of the field.
Minimum care given trees con-
sists of digging diversion bitches
to concentrate and hold the water
from rainfall. Sometimes, the wa
ter diverted from roadside bitches.
Van Gorder also recommends oc-
casional cultivation of the trees.
