WINTER LEG I'ME
PLANTING TIME NEAil
Farmers should We makntg
plans now for the seed and ferti-
lisers which will be needed for
winter legume# plantings. In Bur-
leson County, the best time for
fall planting^h from* dUfl-Sent.
to early Nov«nber.
For fall plantings in Burleson
County sandy soils use hairy
vetch, Singletary peas, Austrian
winter peas. For the prairie soils
of the County use Hubam and
Madrid sweetelovers because of
their dtep root system for soil
building and ability to reduce the
damage from cotton root rot.
RAISING PULLETS IN
CONFINEMENT HAS
ITS ADVANTAGES
Raising the pullet flock in
confinement has sever i! distinct
advantages over the more com-
mon practice of growing them on
range. According to Ben Wor-
meli, extension poultry husband-
man, the greatest benefit from
raising pullets under a roof
should come during the summer
months when they need protec-
tion from the sun and severe
local storms — wind, ruin and
sometimes hail which often
cause trouble in pulle* flocks on
range.
Other advantage* cited by Wo,'-
null include the ureat saving of
space. Alwut thr«e acres of land
are needed to range raise 1,000
pullets while the same number
can he handled in a 20 by 100
feet shelter house.
¡Ved tosses <>n itu- range due
to wind, rain and that eaten by
othei animals and biids is often
heavy. Poultrynien who raise
their pullets in confinement say
this loss is practically eliminated.
Reduced losses from diseasees
and predatory animals can be ex
pec tod, says the specialist when
the growing birds are confined.
But the top saving: comes in labor.
I he feed room is part of «.he
building and makes the feeding
job much easier than range feed-
ing where feed troughs are scat-
tered over a wide area. Even
greater savings of time and la-
bor can be made by using mech-
anical feeders.
Too, mechanical waterers can
if used in the house to provide
i continuous supply of clean
at r which is a must for econo-
mical production of all poultry.
In summary, Wormeli points
out that about the only disad-
vantages to the confinement
method are the higher initial
cost for housing as compared with
"■•sis for range shelters and the
increased trouble from cannibal-
ism. This trouble can be largely
controlled, he adds, by debeak-
ing. When or not the advantages
offset the additional housing cost

the method to be followed in
growing his pullet flock.
