Dayne Mayes’' machine which washes and sorts radishes is shown
here on his farm at Hyde Park, A rkansas. Mayes is shown in inset.
MUSKOGEE, Okla—The lowiy
radish has brought fame and for
tune to Dayne Mayes, vyouthful
rarmer who cultivates one of the
largest radish farm in the United
States at Hyde Park, near here.
Mayes’ suecess story starts back
in 1922, when he first started cul
dvating 200 acres of rich bottom
land. During his first year of
radish growing he lost nearly his
entire investment, and again, in
1926, a drought almost ruined
him.
But his repeated attempts at
growing radishes on a large scale
have proved successful, and last
vear he earned the title of “Rad
ish King of the Southwest” by
harvesting four carloads of rad.
ishes, bunching, washing and
packing them in one d;ly.
Machine Saves Time
Much labor is saved in packing
and washing the radishes by a
machine which .\la)}es invented.
At one end of the machine is a
large basin containing water into
which the radishes ' are dumped
before being placed on a revelving
track bed which leads through a
30-foot trough of showers.
On the I'eéei\'illg end ‘are work
ers who scoop up the radishes and
place them in containers of ice
water preparatory to packing
them for shipment. Then they are
packed in layvers of ice.
With this invention, Mayes
saves the work of several men in
cleaning and packing his ragdishes.
And this means considerable sav
ings in wages, -for during the rush
season from 100 to 300 workers
are employed picking, washing
and packing the vegetable.
Shipe Carload Lots
Maves estimates that he will
ship from 30 to 50 carloads of
radishes this year, This will re
quire seven tons of ice for each
car to “ice-down” the 400 bushels
of them in each. His estimate of
this year's crop is more than dou
ble the shipments he made last
Since aiternate drought and wet
spells have ruined Mayes' crops
in the past, he has taken provis
jons to eliminate them. He has
constructed a dam to store up
water in case of dry seasons, and
a pump to carry water from a
distant point to his fields.
Poultry Shortage
In Georgia Is
Pointed Out
The Cow-Hog-Hen program as
a means of adding a few doilavs
daily towards financing the fam-
Iy and fa'm demands has been
tollowed in many counties it
SJeorgia with great success.
Dairying and poultry raisin<

years it has jumped from infancy
to one of the most important
sources of income to the average
*‘armer. The demand has con
stantly ircreased until the supply
is hawdlv able to take care of it.
Contrasted to this great demand
‘s the unusual shortage of poul

Fewer eggs ar~ in cold stortge

showed a loss of 14 per cent.

than 15,000,000 pourds less than

Hatcheries on the average pro

FARM FACTS
Although the farm population
of the United States has de
crease from 31,000,000 to 27,000,
000 since 1920, the gross cash
income from agriculture is the
same today as then—slo,ooo,ooo,-
000 a year—according to D:-. C.
J. Galpin of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture.
If dairy farmers in the United
States were to cut down on thei:
milk production it would plav
havoc with one of the important
industries of the country—the ice
cream industry—is the opinion of
0. E. Reed, chief of the U. S.
Bureau of Dairy Indust:y. More
than 6,000,000,000 pounds of milk
are used a year in the manufac
ture of this product, he says.
The per capita consumption of
ice cream in the United States
has tripled since 1905. Then it
was 1.04 gallons, In 1928 it was
nea’ly three gallons.
The Dakotas and Montana ex.
{pect a grasshopver plague this
iyear. While mild outbreaks oc
{curred in those states last year,
it is expected that hordes of the
insects will migrate. through the
states this year. Millions of
grasshopper eggs ‘have been laid
and if these hatch the haoppers

FARM FOLK DECREASE
According to recent figuras,
the present farm population of
the United States is 27,229,000,
The farm population in 1910 was
32 600,000.

This tremendous slash in current Chrysler “77”
prices is occasioned by the fact that sometime
in midsummer Chrysler will introduce a new
model to take the place of the present Chrysler
“77”. € Other Chrysler models, “70”, “66”
and Chrysler Six, are being continued un
changed. 9 Meanwhile the supply of Chrysler
“77” models is rapidly melting away at S2OO to

Anruals supnly most of the
flowers through midsummer and
even into early fall. China astews
predominate in late summer in
the northern area, The gladiolus
furnishes m a n y satisfactory
blooms in midsummer and late.
When nights grow cooler to
ward the end of summer and in
early fall, dahlias come in for
the lion’s share of attention, and
with the early frosts chrysanthe-«
mums make their appearance.
Roses Bloom Long
Bush roses of certain types
known as cut flower, or ever
blooming roses, in regions where
they thrive, bloom over the long
est srason of any one flower, al
though for the space occupied and
the care required the yield is not
so large as from many of the an
nuals.
Flowers to be satisfactory for
cutting must either have long
stems or must be ararnged on a
common stem so that one cut
rathers several blossoms as in
the gladiolus. Flowers with
stems as short as pansies and
sweet alyssum are not satisfae
torv for ~eneral use as cut flow
ers ~-though most attractive in
suitable recentacles.
