The order provides that for the next ninety days manufacturers may make up to 73 percent of the average monthly 1941 pro duction of the specified articles. After that period manufacturing will be stopped. . ' Among iron and steel articles affected by the order and which farmers will have to do without, after present supplies are ex exhausted are cattle stanchions, chickerr crates, chick feeders, feed troughs, fence posts, stor age binds, silos, dipping and water tanks, wagon bodies and wheelbarrows. Metal roofing also will no longer be available iLjjuiij tut num. Tim to Cull Chickens To Save Feed Outlay With the high cost of feed and shortage of farm labor, poultry producers cannot afiord to feed and care for the culls and low producing hens. The culls not only eat up the profits but they have a tendency to hinder the best performance of the high producing birds. It has been demonstrated that the percent flock production will not only be improved after the flock has been culled, but frequently the total number of eggs produced will actually be Increased. . Culling Is a job that should be practiced continuously because In the average flock there are usually a few birds out of rjro- duction or not producing enough bs3 pay lur uieir xeea. i ne alert poultryman will identify tnese birds as they appear in the flock and eliminate them imme diately. In addition to this daily inspection, the entire flock should be culled in June and again in August. With the average flock there are always some birds that will start molting and stop laying during May, June and July re gardless of the kind of feed and care they receive. As a rule such birds are low producers and should be culled. Some poul trymen have the idea that these early molters will be back in production during the late sum mer and fall when eggs are high er in price. However, such is not the case. These birds are usually slow molters and are out of pro duction from four to six months. If they do come back into pro duction during the late summer or early fall they frequently go through a second molt later in the season, and as a result very few high-priced eggs are pro-, Your cucumbers, muskmelons. duced. squash and beans are now up I Wl ..

These birds are better pro ducers than the real molters but are not good enough to be held over. Poultrymen should bear in slow molters and as a rule they slow molters and as a rule thty are low producers. The late molters molt faster, are out of production for a much shorter length of time and on the aver age are the best layers. Addi tional factors that should be taken into consideration when culling are body weight, hand ling quality, presence or absence of yellow pigment and general physical condition. If poultrymen want good, pro duction this fall and winter when the prices of eggs are the highest, they will have to give their pullets the proper feed and care this summer. The ideal conditions under which to raise pullets is to have them on clean rang that will provide an adequate supply of green feed and shade. In order to have clean range it should be used only every other year for chickens and every third year would be more desirable. A good range will care for about 300 pullets per acre. This number of birds should be provided with two range houses or summer shelters. The shelters and feed hoppers should be moved fre quently to avoid contamination of the soil, killing out of green feed and to obtain better distri bution of the fertilizer. The most common system of feeding pullets on range is to have growing mash, mixed whole grains, oyster shell, grit and water before the birds at all times. Some growers also give the pullets free access to a hop per full of oats. They have a tendency to reduce cannibalism, feather picking, and are valu able addition to the ration. Some poultrymen raise a large number of chickens on a com paratively small acreage, and as a result they do not have ample space to provide clean range for the pullets each year. Rather than use the same ground year after year where trouble has been encountered with diseases or parasites, it may be more de sirable to raise the pullets in confinement. Pullets can be grown successfully in confine ment if they are not over-crowd ed and have access to an artifi cial sunporch. When pullets are raised in confinement, it is very desirable to have a green feed lot from which feed can be cut. By R. G. FOWLER County Agent. Winter Vegetable Should Be Sown Soon For a winter's supply of gar den fresh carrots, beets and ruta bagas, the seed should be sown in early mid-June. Winter cab bage plants should also be set at this time. Seventy-five foot rows of carrots, beets and ruta bagas and five dozen cabbage plants will supply an average family of five. Select a plot of well drained soil for the root crops so they can be left In the ground over winter. The new bulletin on Fall and Winter Vegetable Gardens . is now available and anyone may obtain a copy by calling or drop ping a card to the Extension Service office. As to varieties, the following have been successful for plant ing at this time: Carrots, Chan tenay or Nantes; Beets, Detroit Dark Red; Rutabagas, Purple Top Yellow; Cabbage, Danish Ball Head or Savoy. The carrots are very slow to germinate so it would be well to mix a few radish seeds which will come up quickly to mark the row. A final planting of corn may be made at this time. has twelve spots. It can be eon trolled by dusting the plants with calcium arsenate by mixing one ounce with a pound of land plaster. Dust the plants twice a week. The squash bug Is out In force and ready to attack your young squash plants. Control by hand picking. Spraying with pyreth rum is partly effective. Hand picking can be simplified by placing small boards near the young plants. The bugs gather under these boards and are most easily found. Remember to dust your aspar agus tops with calcium arsenate to control the remaining aspar agus beetles. This will reduce the number that will hold over to attack next year's crop. C. B. CORDY.
