Six turkey demonstrators and co-
operators in McCulloch county have
raised from 90 to 95 per cent of all
hatched poults up to two months of
age by following a system outlined
by the county agent. Hens were fed
mash -beginning in December, and
when the poults came off in the
spring the hens were put in coops
in cultivated fields and the young
turks allowed to range in oats,
wheat, barley and corn crops nearby
Coops were moved to fresh ground
every three days. This kept the
turkeys from getting wormy and
away from red1 bugs, blue bugs and
other harmful insects.
lAn incomplete record by the county
agent in Warton county shows that
11 men this year started 1173 native
pecan trees from four to 30 inches in
diameter on improved careers by top
working and budding. A total of
13,200 budls were placed in these
demonstration groves.

Texas ranked fifth among all states
in the number of carloads of state-
federal inspected fruits and vegetable
shipped during the season just ended,
record of the division of markets in
the department of agriculture shows.
Inspected shipments from Texas
totaled 21,230 cars, an increase of
nearly 100 per cent over last year.
California led all states in total ship-
ments, with 58,561 icarlots. Other
states ranking Texas were Washing-
ton with 47,001 cars; Idaho, 35,221
cars; and Colorado, 26,711 ears.
W. A. Canon, marketing chief,
emphasized that these totals do not
reflect the total shipments from
Texas or the other states, since in-
spection is only for those shippers or
growers requested it. Because of
the many advantages of this service,
the number of growers subscribing
to it increases year by year, he said
In Texas, nearly 50 per cent of all
shipments are inspected, an average
much higher than in some of the
other states.

quality and grade, the product bear-
ing an inspection certificate always
