Plant- ers in Oklahoma, . Tennessee, Ken- ‘tucky, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri :and Kansas are becoming interested in the possibility of growing pecans, and are seeking information with regard to varieties possessing the necessary qual- l!fles when grown under their condi- tions. The work of the department during the past year has included an Pécan Trees at Clarksville, Mo. investigation of the range of the spe- cles, the adaptability of varieties to different regions, methods of propa- _gation, soil improvement, orchard man- agement, and methods of harvesting, 'curing, packing and handling the prod- I proportion of the varieties now being planted are so far below the general average of the best sorts in production and other important characteristics as to justify their elimination. It is be- coming more and more evident. say| the specialists of the department, that greater attention should be given to the matter of stocks for use in propa- gating pecans in the nursery. PLACE FOR HENS IN WINTER Fowls Must Not Be Allowed Outside Range |f Maximum Egg Pro- duction is Expected. For maximum og:' production during the winter months the hens must not be allowed outside range but must be confined to quarters, sayvs T. S, Towns- ley, of the University of Missourl col- lege of agriculture. The poultry keep- ers who get the best egg production during the winter months® shut their hens in their houses as soon as the weather gets bad in the fall and keep them in until spring comes. If the birds are allowed to run at large dur- ing the winter months they will spend most of the time standing around be- hind buildings and other windbreaks trying to keep warm when they had much better be in the poultry house scratching for feed. Turning the birds out even on pleasant days dur- ing the winter’ months will cause slumps in the egz production. This Is probably due to the fact that when the birds get outside the ground is cold and wet and this produces enough shock to affect the production of the birds. If the hens are to be kept in- side for several months the poultry house must not be overcrowded. Each hen should have at least two and a half or three square feet of floor space. Some attention Is necessary with birds that are confined, to insure plenty of exercise. One method of providing exercise is by feeding all grain in a straw litter covering the entire floor to a depth of not less than twelve inches. Another good means of keep- ing the birds busy is to hang cabbage, turnips, beets or other green stuff just ahove the birds’ heads in the house so that they are kept busy jumping to get this material.
