Extension News
By MISS JUANITA BURKETT,
>«■»< >«■»< >«■»-< >•«■»•(>•«■»• o«
Fifteen people were held spell
bound last Tuesday morning in
the County Agent’s office by Mr.
H. W. Bennett, state extension
poultryman. Eleven of this group
were 4-H Club members who
have poultry as one of their proj
ects this year.
Mr. Bennett said that a home
flock if managed properly should
be expected to accomplish the
following:
1. Produce enough eggs to
supply the family needs.
2. Furnish a source of poultry
meat.
3. Pay for the feed of the hens
from the surplus eggs.
4. Average of eggs per hen should
be at least 200 eggs per year.
In order to accomplish this the
following rules should serve as a
guide in poultry management:
1. Enough pullets should be
grown out to allow at the begin
ning of the laying period (Sep
tember) five hens per person in
the family.
2. One of these breeds should
be selected: New Hampshire,
Rhode Island Reds, Barred or
White Rocks.
3. Enough chicks should be
bought’ each year to completely
replace all hens that have been
in production one year.
4. Chicks should be bought in
late winter or early spring and
not after May 1. This date will
generally vary in South and
North Georgia.
5. If as many as 100 chicks are
to be brooded in the lamp-type
brooder, two brooders should be
used, starting the 100 chicks in
one brooder for the first four
weeks and then dividing the
flock and using both brooders.
6. Start the chicks on a good
starter or broiler mash.
7. After the chickens are three
weeks old, watch for moisture
problems. Never allow the litter
to become damp. Change of litter
may be necessary in order to
keep down moisture. This will
tend to keep down coccidiosis.
For information on coccidiosis,
see bulletin entitled “Poultry
Diseases and Parasites in Geor
gia.”
8. When the chickens are three
weeks old change the size of the
feeders from the starting feed
ers to the broiler feeders. Change
the size of water founts from
the quart waterers to the larger
water founts.
9. Keep down feed waste by
not filling the troughs too full
and using troughs that do not
waste feed.
Speed up Work
with the vehicle that does more jobs
THE UNIVERSAL
Jeep
USE IT AS A PICK-UP OR TOW TRUCK
The Universal “Jeep,” with its 60-hp “Jeep” Engine
and 2- or 4-wheel drive, is a versatile farm vehicle that
spreads its cost over jobs the year ’round. It serves as
a pick-up truck that hauls loads to 1,200 lbs. on or off
the road? It tows trailed payloads to 5,000 lbs. at high
way speed, with reserve for grades. You speed up work
with a vehicle that does almost any farm job!
... AS A TRACTOR
Wh 1° 4-wheel drive, at speeds
of 2 to 7 mph, the “Jeep”
serves as a light tractor to
..jp , f P plows, harrows, discs
and other implements
' ; £/* pull-type or hydraulic. With
power take-off it operates
power mowers and sprays.
... EOR BELT WORK IKSWO
Power take-off on the “Jeep |
delivers to 30 hp to operate -jSC
feed mills, saws, corn W.iir
shelters and other equip- 2
ment. No idle seasons for
the “Jeep”—you use it every
day, all year.

| 10. Separate the roosters and
[pullets at 8 weeks of age, vac
cinate the pullets for fowl pox,
and put them on clean ground.
11. Provide the pullets with a
shelter and roost space. This
shed can be wired in without
any walls, better known as a
range shelter.
12. Provide plenty of young
tender grazing for growing pul
lets to insure health and to re
duce feed cost.
13. Keep broiler or growing
mash dry, in the shade, and close
to the water.
14. The feeding of scratch feed
can be started at approximately
six weeks of age.
15. Scratch feeds and mash
can be kept before the growing
pullets at all times. Home-grown
I o'ats should be fed separately.
[ This, too, will cut down feed cost.
16. Allow the chickens to stay
!on range until the first egg is
dropped.
17. Never allow old hens and
/pullets to run together.
• 18. Cull out all hens through
out the year that go out of pro
duction.
19. Keep laying mash before
the hens at all times and feed
scratch feeds late in the after
noon. Provide oyster shell.
20. Provide green feeds for
laying hens throughout the year
if possible. Greens from the gar
den, bright cured hay makes a
splendid source of green feeds.
21. Never change from one
brand of mash to another sud
denly. Make any changes grad
ually over a period of at least 10
days.
22. Buttermilk, sour skim milk
or clabber will improve any feed
ing program.
23. Hens should be encouraged
to eat as much feed as possible.
Pellets or dampened mash will
increase feed consumption if fed
once a day to the hens.
24. No roosters should be kept
in the flock. Hens will lay as
many eggs without roosters as
they will with them. Infertile
eggs will keep much longer than
fertile eggs.
25. Scratch grains (yellow corn,
wheat and oats) and green feeds
should be produced on the farm.
All the mash fed to the chick
ens should be bought.
26. Roosts in the laying house
should be painted with carbole
nium to prevent mites.
27. All brooder, growing, and
laying houses should be thor
oughly cleaned for each new
batch of chickens.
28. Eggs should be gathered at
least twice daily and immedi
ately cooled and stored in a cool
odorless place. Never sell a dirty
egg.

You’ll feel sorry for Mr. Smith,
her “good-for-nothing” husband.
You’ll hate Bill, the conceited
small-town Romeo.
You’ll admire Mary Anne, the

and you can’t help but laugh at
Mrs. McGillicuddy, the gossip;
and Hettie, the hired girl. Don’t

“Why, judge,” the autoist that
was charged with speeding said,
“I wasn’t going 60 miles an hour.
In fact, I wasn’t even going 30.
I had slowed down to—”
His honor raised a silencing
hand. Then he remarked dryly,
“We’d better close out this case
before you back up and hit some
one. Ten dollars.”

HUNE IN SAN HOSAY
A woman traveling by train
was talking with a man in the
next seat. In describing her holi
day, she said that he had visited
San Jose.
“You pronounced that wrong,”
said the man. “It’s San Hosay.
in California you pronounce all
the j’s as h’s. When were you
there?”
The woman thought for a mo
ment, then answered, “In Hune
and Huly.”
HE DIDN’T REALLY MEAN IT
Schoolmistress Can anyone
tell me who David Livingstone
was?
Small Pupil—Please, miss, he
went to Africa to be a misery to
the natives.
Tourists (to native)—ls this a
very healthful place?
“Wall, I should smile! They
ain’t been a death here for many
years. And the last party who
died was the undertaker, an’ he
died from hunger, he did.”
