Cull Hens Now For Best Yield Final culling of hens that havel i finished their first year’s pro-j duction should be made this ; month, County Agent W. T. , | Middlebrooks told H ous t o n ■ jCounty poultry keepers this 1 week. Hens should be culled to make room for young pullets,” Mr. Middlebrooks said. ‘Tf it is necessary or desireable to keep any hens over, only the best hens should be selected, t ‘‘lt is more profitable to keep 3 layers only one year and to grow ■ enough pullets each year to re ) place the entire flock,” the t county agent pointed out. Pullets will lay well during ; November, December and Janu ary when eggs are scarce and ■ prices high, he declared, Hens ) which are kept over for another season will not produce during ■ these months. Hens not only lay ■ I fewer eggs their second year, i but they lay very few eggs dur ing periods when egg prices are ■ highest. ; ‘Tf there is room in the laying 3 houses and it is desired to keep ■ some hens over for the second ■ year, only the very best should • be kept.’, Mr. Middlebrooks said, i “If the flock has been culled ■ regularly during the summer and fall, not more than 25 to 50 per ; cent of the original flock should ; remain. “These are the best layers and • it might be profitable to feed - them through a period of non i production while they are molt ■ ing,” he continued. “However, it is a proved fact that pullet flocks are the most profitable.” Farm Jobs Handled i By Smith, Moore j One of the new businesses in Houston county is the Kite Way Farm Contractors, b y Jimmy .

This repre sents a substantial increase over the same date last year and gives ! promise of reaching the 50,000 total requested by President H. L. Wingate in his annual report at the 1945 convention. Several counties in the State have reported memberships equal to more than twice the total re corded i n 1945, the announce ment revealed, with campaigns still underway in these leading Farrrr Bureau Sections. “1 am delighted with the pro gress we are making.” stated jMr. Wingate, in commenting on t h e increase in Farm Bureau membership over the state, “and ttfe farmers of Georgia may be assured that the accomplishments of this organization will show a decided boost over the record of the past when our membership was small compared with the numder of farms in the state.” He added that achievements through organized effort on the part of Georgia farmers will con tribute to “ every segment o f our economy.

Dairies Plead A real bottleneck -a bottle neck in milk bottles -- is develop ing to such proportions that milk deliveries are threatened, Direc tor George Stewart of the State Milk Control Board discloses. “With deliveries o f bottles from manufacturers far below current requirements, co-opera jtion of milk consumers in return ing their “empties” is essential if deliveries of bottled milk are to continue at maximum”, he said. “We are faced with a crisis”. Director Stewart stressed the j fact that empty milk bottles are I of no possible use around a home. 1 “They just get in the homema-| I ker’s way”, he said. “So we are appealing to every j •housewife to look around her! I kitchen and closets and see if she | ' hasn’t some empty bottles thatj jean be returned to her dairy-i man -- as a convenience to her 1 and a favor to her milkman.” | Hearts of Peanuts Have High Value Peanut hearts have about the' 1 same feeding value as whole pea- i nuts for pigs, This has been; found in a recent study made at the Georgia Experiment Station. When fed according to the feed rations given in Press Bulletin 574, which is free upon request, ■ the chances of soft pork are very, 'small. j HU*' jKagl WlmMomii "** ' jfIMH mfKgKm: I mam.

Plant Strawberries Soon, Agent Says Pointing out that strawberries are a good early cash crop, Coun ty Agent W. T. Middlebrooks said this week that strawberries should be grown in every farm and home garden to supply local demands and family needs. “Strawberries are one of the best fruits for freezing and, with the increased facilities for freez ing, the demand for them will increase,” Mr. Middlebrooks pointed out. In addition, straw berries may be utilized in the fresh stage for preserving and making jams and jellies.” Strawberry plants may be set in the field or garden in late fall or early spring, thecSunty agent said. In this area strawberry plants should be set out in No vember. “Plants that were set out in the spring of 1946 or during the fall of 1945 should be given an application of 8 8-6 fertilizer at the rate of 300 pounds ner acre now to aid development of buds for next year’s crop of fruit,” he declard. “Fruit bud for mation takes place during the short days in late fall and early spring.” Best soil for strawberries is a sandy loam which retains rnois ure, Mr. Middlebrooks said. Very heavy or extremely light soils should be avoided. “If ir rigation can be provided, the production will be lengthened and yields increased substan tially.” Three Job Changes In Businesses Here John Carney, who has been em i ployed by Houston Drug Co, since nis return from the service, has accepted a position at Houston Hardware Co., effective Monday, Oct. 14.
