vention in September

County Association Meets

On Tuodiy, April 19, a very unusual opportunity w ill be at-'

forded fruit and veer table growers of this section. A demonstration i D r- . , , . of labor-saving equipment and machinery will be g iven at Dri-Bay: Will Be Feature of AtlanFarms, just outside of Bridgeton, on that day. Details o: that tic City Annual Con-

demonstration are given in another column on this page. This is termed an unusual opportunity because only on very rare occasions can we are garden tractors, spraying equipment and other garden and orchard tools and equipment—of different makes—operated side

by side for comparison.

Farmers in general appreciate the value of labor-saving machinery, for labor is one of the most costly items in the production of fruits and vegetables. Also, more fanners are beginning to realize the necessity for spraying certain crops for the control of insects and diseases. Therefore, there is little doubt that hundreds Of farmer* from this section will avail themselves of this opportunity to see the various machines in operation and study their con-, ttruction. Other details about the machines, such as prices, can be compared as representatives of the various companies w.ll be present. The demonstrarion is being conducted co-operatively by C. H- Nisslep, vegetable specialist; E. R. Gross, farm engineering specialist, and A. L. Pierstorff, fruit specialist, of the Sure Extension Service,

Therefore, besides seeing the machinery , every grower will have the chance to discuss his problems with the farm machinery men, while the Extension specialists and with other growers. Such a demonstration will surely be worth more than anything that can be accomplished home on the

farm in one day.

Don’t Neglect the Laving Flock

“There is a danger.” L. M. Black told us at the Poultry Association meeting Friday evening, "of poultrymen becoming so busv at this time of the year raising chicks that they neglect the laying flock.’’ Of course they care for them as usual, but they neglect to examine the layers daily to note their condition. Birds in many flocks are laying heavily at present, but are doing it at the expense of body weight, and are becoming thinn*-- without the owner susk fCtin fL!!' ®* cause °* th *‘’ * l» r *e ' umber of these birds, which have been allowed to become thin, w.il molt early, right at the time

when egg prices are relatively high.

.Mr. Black’s suggestion for feeding a daily “fleshing mash, as given in another column on this page, seems like a very practical one. Every poultry-man would do well to -fallow- Mr. Black’s advice—handle a few birds each day or evening, if they are found to be getting thin, start giving them the fanening mash. In this wav severe culling will be postponed a month or so and the birds will remain on the job longer, rather than suning to molt during

July and August.

daily "fleshing mash" as supplt
