PARRISH ADVISES
FLOCK CULLINC

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Nov. Establishments must be
made in egg production because
feed supplies are short, particular
ly proteins, and because meats
are becoming more plentiful, says
C. F. Parrish, in charge of poultry
at State College.
He suggests that the flock be
culled rigidly at this time, especi-
ally those one-and two-year-old
birds that are slow layers and that
are not suitable for breeding
stock, and the late Matched pullets,
those Matched since June l. Gull
layers can probably be marketed
at better prices now than later, %
Parrish says.
Egg prices are expected to de-
cline after the Christmas holidays,
and it is now time to get the flock
on the best producing basis pos.
sible, so that production costs may
be reduced, Parrish points out.
He also suggests the use OF
lights to get better production
during the winter months; keeping
the layers comfortable; providing
warm water; and putting plenty
of litter in the laying house, keep
ing in dry and thoroughly stirred
at all times. Extra litter can be
added each week until it reaches
a depth of about 5 or 6 inches.

Approximately $4,000 farmers

DALLIE GRASS HAS
MANY GOOD USES

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh.
Nov. 25.-The percentage OF Dalhs
grass as compared with carpet
grass can be increased in the pas
lures Of Eastern Carolina through
proper management and adequate
fertilization, according to the sixty
seventh annual report of the Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station, re-
Gently released by Director L. D.
Baver Of State College.
Dallis grass can compete with
carpet grass on poorly drained
soils, if it is fertilized and not
overgrazed, the report said. Tests
were set up first in the green
house and then in the field to
determine why most of the carpet
grass grass pastures had resulted
from seeding mixture OF Dallls
grass and carpet grass.
When the two grasses were
grown in the greenhouse under
three moisture levels, the res
ponse to the high moisture level
was slightly greater for Dallis
grass when measured in terms Of
top growth and the differences in
root growth were even more strik-
ing.
Previous work at the Station
had shown that Dallis grass was
more responsive to higher levels
of fertility than carpet grass.
"Any environment that encour-
aged the presence of legumes has
increased the ratio of Dallis to car
pet grass" the report said.

ling will be necessary. On the 9TH
er hand, plants with spreading
root system, such as a dogwood
that is growing in the woods,
should be cut back severely since
many of the roots will be lost.
| The critical time on any newly
transplanted plant is not neces-
sarily Immediately following trans
planting. Practically all trans
planted plants will put out new
leaves in the spring, but may die
when the weather gets hot and
the soil dry. They may even live
through the first year and die the
second year as result Of the
transplanting operation. 1t is inn
portant, therefore, to prune most
plants when transplanting- them
and it is also important to keep
them watered and mrlched for
! the first year or two.

CLUB PRESIDENTS
REVIEW l%5 WORK
BY Mrs. Esther G. Willis
N, C. State College

Is W 0t6tC OVAN6S
It is a fine thing for an individual
or organization to pause now ana
then to take stock of its accomplish
ments and weaknesses. 1t is even
finer to make plans for progress
in the future on their findings. Per-
haps this is the secret of the success
of Home Demonstration Federation
work within the 100 counties IN
North Carolina where annual coun-
ty achievement programs are aelo.
The Home demonstration CLUB
members in the 20 counties within
the Southwestern Extension DIS
trict are holding meetings OF this
type now. Officers, project leaders
and club members have beamed
with pride over the accomplish
ments reported on the various
phases of homemaking, such as
food production and conservation
clothing, refinishing of furniture,
and remodeling of homes. And,
they have cleaned great deal OF
satisfaction from their success OF
the war activities they have sup
ported in such a telling way. At
not single meeting have they fail
ed to pause to give thanks for the
many blessings which the year 1915
has brought-the end of the war,
the strength given them to accom-
plish the tasks which have been
theirs, the safe return of many of
their sons who have been in the
service, and that our country was
not invaded.

In giving a history of home demon

Mrs. Patterson honored So club wo-
men who have been active in club
