Poultry Tips For May
(Cos. Home Dem. Agent)
Chicks hatched after May 10
seldom do well. They grow more
slowly, are more subject to disease,
and do not make best layers.
Remove roosters from flock and
kill or sell. They are ruining egg
quality, and are not paying then
board. , , , ,
To break up broody hens, shut
them up as soon as they begin to
stay on the nest and feed them well.
The longer they are allowed to stay
on the nest the harder they are to
break up.
Get the growing chicks out on tree
range, on clean ground if possible.
The future of the pullets depends to
a large extent on how they are
grown out.
As the weather turns warm,, look
out for mites and lice. Don’t let
them get started. For lice mix an
equal amount (by weight) of vase
line and mercuric ointment and ap
ply portion about the size of an
English pea to skin about two inches
below the vent. Treat all birds at
one time, and a single application
will last for several months.
For mites, clean out houses and
spray -with kerosene oil, crude oil,
or a very strong disinfectant. Paint
ing will help control mites.
Chickens do not bathe in water as
pigeons, and some other birds.
Their only method of bathing is by
wallowing in dust. Every poultry
house should contain a dust box.
Dry dust or wood ashes should be
used. A good dust bath _ will go a
long way to keep down mites.
Corn is one of the best feeds for
poultry at all ages, but not alone.
It should be balanced with other
feeds stuffs.
Green feed is important. Where
chicks are raised in semi-confine
ment, see that they have a supply.
Now is the time of year for egg
production to drop. To prevent a
rapid decline, feed a daily wet mash
mixed with skim milk or butter milk.
Don’t crowd the young chicks. It
is a common cause of colds, and
chicks that are crowded are more
susceptible to coccidiosis and other
diseases.
May is the month for coccidiosis in
young chickens. Keeping the house
dry and sanitary is the best preven
tive. A dried skim milk ration is a
good treatment after the disease
breaks out.

Wood Make* Effort Exclude
1932 Cotton Record From
Jackson County Average
Washington, May 21.—That an
exception for Jackson County, Geor
gia, will probably be made in pro
visions of the Bankhead Cotton Con
trol Act to the extent of excluding
the abnormally low cotton produc
tion in that county for the year
1932 from the five year period to be
used in arriving at the amount of
cotton to be produced by the county
under the new legislation, was indi
cated today by Congressman John S.
Wood, after lengthy conferences
with J. A. Becker, chief of the crop
estimates division of the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
“It has not been determined to
what extent calculations for produc
tion in Individual counties can be
modified,’’ Mr. Wood said, in com
menting on the situation, “but I
have placed before Mr. Becker facts
concerning the low production of
cotton in Jackson county in 1932,
caused by the severe drought that
year, and he has assured me that the
1932 crop will not be considered in
arriving at the amount _of cotton
that county can produce if there is
any way it can be legally excluded.
The matter has been referred to the
the legal division of the Department
of Agriculture, and it is believed
that it will be worked out to the
satisfaction of all cotton farmers
concerned.
“Jackson county is one of the
largest cotton producing counties in
Georgia,” he said, “and the inclusion
of the record of production for 1932
in determining the average for the
present year would greatly reduce
the quantity the county could pro
duce under the law. This would work
an injustice on the farmers of that
county, and it is my sincere hope
that it will be possible to eliminate
figures for that year. An average
of production for the four years
prior to 1932 would present an
equitable basis on which to make the
necessary reductions, and it is my
sincere hope that this plan can be
used.” .
Mr. Wood’s efforts in this con
nection are a continuation of the in
terest he has shown in agriculture
since he has been in congress.
