Mr. Reed: What did you do with screenings?
Mr. Stoke: I fed them to the chickens. Some said that they would keep the chickens from laying but I found that by mixing about 25% with ordinary mash it worked fine.
Mr. Hershey: Did you find that it made the egg shells hard?
Mr. Stoke: No, the chickens had too much sense.
Question: What percent do you lose in sieving?
Mr. Stoke: When I did my fine sieving, I used a 4-inch screen. The shells were taken out entirely. I lost, maybe, 4%.
Prof. Reed: Do you people in Virginia have local names for different types of walnuts? What is the swamp black walnut?
Mr. Stoke: My own opinion is that there is only one black walnut in the East. We have a butternut that some people call the English walnut and some the white walnut. The Japanese walnut is sometimes called an English walnut. We also have the English or Persian walnut.
Prof. Reed: I believe the botanists recognize only the one black walnut.
Prof. Slate: I do not think there is more than one kind.
