FARM NOTES .
By El L. Tanner, County Agent.
The past week saw the beginning
of a movement in*'Jones County and
in Haskell County which will have far
reaching influence on the farm flocks
of each county. Colonel Penick began
the second step in his plan to put the
farm flocks of these two counties on
firm footing. The first step was"
his whirl-wind poultry shows of last
February and he is now busy perfect-
ing a marketing organization which
will give to the,producer an outlet for
a high class product at a fair profit.
, Last week he visited each of the six
towns which had a show last winter
and at a called meeting of interested
producers organized a local committee
which in turn will perfect the local
Unit at each town. The chairman of
this local committee will be a member
of the central committee or steering
' committee of the whole association.
This central committee will meet prob-
ably by the time this goes to press
and organization plans will be drawn,
up and sent back to the various unit
committees who will then go about
getting their local organizations go-
* ing.
It .should be remembered that this
poultry marketing organization has
been begun by the Colonel only after a
close and detailed study by him of the
Bankhead Poultry Producers Associa-
tion at Cisco and other successful or-
ganization of a similar nature. After
receiving requests from every quar-
ter of the two counties’ Col. Penick
made the detailed study named above
and then began his organization work
with a thorough first hand knowledge
of just what was necessary to make
it a success.
Wisconsin Rations
The Wisconsin Baby Chick Ration
which was the first all mash ration
hy. any experiment station and on
which the Experiment Station at Wis-
consin raised over 6,000 chicks in
1924 with a mortality of less than
eight per cent is as follows: Whole
ground yellow corn, 80 lbs.; standard
wheat middlings 20 lbs.; chick size
ground bone meal 5 lbs.; chick size
grit (finely ground marble or lime-
stone) for which you should substi-
tute finely ground oyster shell; salt
1 lb.; sour skim milk to drink all time
and no water. The chicks were put
on this ration at two days old and fed
to maturity with no other feed and
plenty of sunshine.
The Poultry Department of the A.
& M. College of Texas has been us-
ing a' modified form of this ration
with splendid success since it was giv-
en out several years ago by the Wis-
consin Station. The following is their
change: They use eighty pounds ‘of
ground whole yellow corn; twenty lbs.
of wheat gray shorts or bran (gray
shorts preferred); five pounds“'3T''b6W«‘
meal; five parts of oyster shell fine-
iy ground; one pound of salt: and all
the sour skim milk they want all the
time. No "water is given and they
are made to drink the skim milk. They
report excellent results from this and
when the chicks are ten weeks did
they change to the following which is
but another odifitTation of this ration:
Fifty pounds of whole ground yellow
corn; 20 lbs., gray wheat shorts; 20
lbs. wheat bran; 10 lbs. wheat scraps;
1 lb. salt; skim milk.
The College does not placle mash
before the chicks ail the time til they
are 3 weeks old. For the first ten
days of feeding they feed this mash
five times each day all the chicks will
clean up in about 30 minutes. After
ten days of feeding they begin to feed
them a good scratch grain in addition
to the mash. either a commercial
scratch or finely cracked yellow corn.
They feed tKli in the morning and at
noon all they will eat in about fifteen
minutes, and at night all they will
in Jones County and after traveling
.oyer , most of the county, and getting "
some good pictures of all kinds of all
” • stock grazing on it he promises us a
good article in Farm and Ranch soon.
Mr. Richardson was surprised, at the
success we are having is getting clov-
er started on the three foot row.
In the past few weeks I "have seen
both mules and cows grazing on clover
and have seen only one case of bloat.
However that resulted in the death of
a cow. This is unugM for sweet
clover as it seldom bloats'. However,
when' first getting stock used to it
you should not let them over-graze as
soon as they get a taste for it which
is in only a. few days. Break them
in on it gradually. It would be a good
idea to watch them after a rain when
it is wet, too, or after a heavy dew.
This is the first death I have ever
known on sweet clover. However
there have been many cases of bloat
„ this season on small grain according
to veterinarians with whom I have
talked. And I am sure this one case
of bloat is not going to set us back in
our campaign for better pastures for
Jones county.
Remember now is the time to take
those roosters off the yard if you want
to produce eggs that will keep in hot
weather. In all probability infertile
eggs will be all that the Central Tex-
Poultry, Association will handle.
To be „safe in guaranteeing your eggs
you should have the roosters off the
yards 21 days.
BERRTHILL
Hello chats! Move down a little
and let the Kid in this week. He has
been absent for two weeks. We have
been so busy we had no.chance t®
call in, but will now give an accoont
of our whereabouts. On the eighth of
this month our parents went down on
the river to a birthday dinner giveq
to N. B. Steddum by his children. A
surprise to him, it was. And it was
a sure enough dinner. There were
fifty-six people at the dinner with him
and lots of it left: chickens bogged in
flour, chicken fried and chicken stewed
and beef roast and beef fried. There
were cakes of all kinds and pies stack-
ed high. In fact we, never saw a bet-
ter dinner and all seemed to enjoy it
at least we did for we never had to
wait like we do at home when com-
pany comes. We tried to get the
names of all present' but Could not,
"Though we knew some of them.
The old man seemed to be. well
pleased. But who wouldn’t be. He
got something over ton dollars be-
sides other presents. He was eighty-
one that day and said he owed no man
a cent. He is a mighty old man to be
able to say that.
Last Friday night thgre was a good
program at Berryhill. There will be
another thins week but we can’t say
what night as the teacher hadn’t de-
cided on the time. ________________,
Well, Mr. Eidtor and chats, we sure
had the time of our life yesterday.
Our parents let us go down' on |&he
river to the Proctor Ranch to the
Branding and round-up and eat dinner
at the chuck wagon. Yes, and there
we saw that much dreaded game
warden, a Mr. Myers. We had tho't
that a game warden was a savage
looking man; but this Mr. Myers is
a pleasant lool^ing man. We heard
one of the Proctor hands ask him if
it was a factthat.this State Preserve
was a failure and if Tie had quit the
job and he said no and he was on the
river last Saturday night and Sunday
and would continue-tp visit this part
of the country often; but he hepes he
will catch no one tresspassing or he
will have to arrest them and he does
not want to be forced to. ______
Well, for fear the Printer throws
us in the waste basket, we will be go-
ing.—Truthful Kid.

OPEN FIRES ’
You should have a screen over your
fireplace. Be sure that ever coal is
out before you \go to bed.
When you are camping you should
be sure that all of the fires are put
out before you go any further.
When you are burning bonfires you
should have the hose running.
Rains Benefit Oats
The recent rains all around us have
benefited the oats, but the wheat was
too far gone to be benefited very
-uieh, we learn. However the sea-
son. as far as it went, was a great
help in every other way.
This is the time of the year when
it always seems to us that it must
be delightful to be employed by our
great and generous state of Illinois ap
a bee inspector.—The Decatur Jerald.
