One of the jobs of the poultry extension office is to keep, study and summarize cost of production records kept on poultry flocks In with the county farm agents, says P. A. Seese, poultry extension special-1s- t at the North Carolina State colLast year this work was lege. on in 43 counties located In wide-- . ly separated parts of the state. The records were kept on 128 farms with an average of 21,425 birds for the year. The gross Income from eggs alone in these flocks amounted to $99, 325.30. The birds consumed 8S9.S40 pounds of mash feed and 780.642 pounds of grain feed which cost the owners $50,220.80. This left a profit of $49,104.50 as a return above feed car-rie- : , r d cost. Mr. Seese says the 21,425 birds laid 3,426,259 eggs, which was an average of 159.9 each a hen. Commenting on the figures, the poul r - r . try specialist says they are as accurate as any set of figures that are be--. . ing kept, today. They show, beyond all doubt, that the man who keeps a good flock of birds and gives them proper care and feed, houses them well and keeps down disease and parasites, may expect a good profit from his en terprlse It is the purpose of the poultry workers in North Carolina to make, the poultry industry of greater commercial importance, and they cite that it is even now fifth In value to all crops grown. There are some six million hens of laying age on the farms and the value of the industry is around . , $40,000,000. What One Man Can Do. One man can do practically all of the work required for 350 or 400 colonies, even during rush seasons, the department learned by studying for three years the records of beekeepers in widely separated regions of the country. With an apiary of this size, however, he will need some additional means of income. Beekeeping is at its best, generally, as a supplement to farming. One man in New York state, who farms 100 acres and cares for 70 colonies of bees learned from experience that a apiary is equivalent to about 40 acres of land In both income and labor. One beekeeper, who spends little time in his apiary and Is an inefficient employer of labor, had a labor cost of more than $6 per colony. He lost 53 cents a colony one year, and $1.75 a colony the next year. But not all good beemen are poor managers. One who owns , 1,800 colonies reported a yield of about 250 pounds of extracted honey from each colony and a total income of $23,387 In 1928, or a net income of $11.78 for each hour he worked with the bees. He hires labor and knows how to use it Other beemen have reported returns of $2.40 to $5.50 an hour for their time in the apiary. Practices Studied. The department has studied beekeeping practices In Colorado,' Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Iowa, New York, Michigan, Ohio and Minnesota. During the next few years the department will complete Its nation-wid- e survey by studying beekeeping on the Pacific coast, on the Dakota plains, in Texas, and in the South. - Chickens Need Vitamin D to Aid Egg Supply DR.

Oyster shell Is probably the best source of lime for poultry. ' All breeds of poultry with white earlobes produce white-shelleeggs. This d includes Leghorns, Acconas, Minorcas and Andalusians. The farm garden can be made to produce more than $300 worth of vegetables each season, according to specialists In vegetable gardening of the Ohio State university. The farm gar-den produces vegetables for Immediate consumption, and also for storage and for canning. One of the most important advantages of such a gardert. however, is the fact that it will yield vegetables for immediate use, at the time when they are at their best. Planning the garden is a most important phase of Its management. of an acre, properly planned and managed, will supply the needs of the average farm family. It Is suggested that the garden be arranged in straight rows running north and south, and far enough apart to culpermit the use of a tivator. Each plant. In a north and south row receives the maximum of sunlight ' rows The should be arranged In the order of the dates of their planting so that on the maturing, of an early season crop it may be replaced with another crop, and the entire garden kept In production throughout the season One-fift- h horse-draw- n r n NEV.
