Alleghany to expand poultry program with 4-H clubs
The Alleghany county 4-H and home demonstration clubs plan a large scale poultry expansion this month. About 178 4-H and 88 home demonstration members will distribute pure bred chicks in lots of 25 50 and 100 with 30 small and 36 large brooders. Brooders are rented by Covington and Alleghany men with compensation in chicks or roosters. Last year 5 000 chicks were raised with low mortality under 4-H supervision. A Virginia Tech extension agent aids the program and aims to meet home consumption needs first with limited market development.

State Farmers Can Economize On Fertilizers
Virginia farmers can cut their fertilizer bill by about 1 to 1.5 million dollars and improve yields by using fewer grades and raising plant food content from 14–15 to 20 units, says Dr. A L Grizzard of Virginia Tech. He notes last year about 460000 tons were used at roughly 12 million dollars, over eight cents of every farm income. He urges buying based on plant food per acre and cautions against leaching and erosion.
