County Agent Highlights Hens Meat Value and Pruning Tips
The extension column notes that marketing older laying hens for meat can be more profitable than egg production, especially after fall flock reductions, with guidance on selective culling. It also promotes pruning trees and shrubs using a Maryland bulletin by Dr. Lee J. Enright, available free, and provides practical fruit rot prevention for strawberries, including Captan spray rates. The piece ends with armyworm alerts for Caroline and Worcester counties, recommending Heptachlor use with precautions and describing poison bran bait options for mixed-field infestations.
