At the International he won a total of SBOO ir prizes, bringing a gross total, including the sale price, of $8,042, His owner has left a net profit of $8,816.38. » Budgetary Curb - . Aids Efficiency Any Business Can Be Brought Out of ~ Difficulties. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Co-operatives should have efficient management, says A. V. Swarthout, of the United States Department of Agri culture. This is essential to all busi ness, but is probably even more than usually desirable in farmers’ market ing organizations because of the pecu liar psychology involved and the large number of inviduals directly interest ed. No Comparison Made. Mr. Swarthout points out that low costs of operation, high sales prices, and similar tests of satisfactory oper ations which are often applied in bus iness are valuable only when thegacan be compared with some standard or with the same items in other similar organizations. Co-operatives meet dif ficulties in trying to apply such tests. Little information is available re garding costs in compaFable organiza tions. Privately owned organizations rarely give out their figures for the use of co-operatives, and even if they did the figures would not often be comparable, since co-operatives com monly provide services not offered by nonco-operative business. Scientific analysis of the business operations is a great aid in checking up operating efficiency. This has fre quently been described as “budgetary control.” Mr. Swarthout says that one banker who has had a great deal of experience with it, probably more than any other in this country, re cently made the statement that he had yet to see any business—and he believed there was none—which could not be brought out of its difficulties and into a better position through the use of budgetary control. Five Essential Points. In brief, the following five points summarize what can be accomplished through this method, he said: *l. Budgeting substitutes definite facts and figures for guesswork and intelligent planning for blindfold fumbling. «2. It employs co-operation; and it does more—it enforces co-operation; indeed, creates it. “3. It serves to materialize contem plated actions in such a way that the results of those actions become known before the actions themselves are set in motion, *4, It helps to restrain unwise ex pansion. “5. It provides a unified plan of operation—a financial working plan that, as every executive knows, is of the utmost value and Importance to any enterprise.” Medium Producing Cows Like Alfalfa and Corn Since there is seldom a deficiency in carbohydrates and fat when the dalry cow has all the roughage that she can eat, a roughly balanced ration may be obtained by balancing the pro teln of the grain mixture to go with the roughage and disregarding the car bohydrates and fat. For low to medium-producing cows good alfalfa hay and corn meal make up a rea sonably good ration, To go with alfalfa hay, some graln mixtures are as follows: Mixture 1200 pounds corn, 100 pounds oats, 100 pounds wheat bran, and 100 pounds linseed 01l meal, Mixture 2100 pounds bar ley, 100 pounds oats, 100 pounds whent bran, and 300 pounds corn 01l meal, Mixture 3200 pounds corn-and-cob meal, 200 pounds oats, 100 pounds wheat bran, and 100 pounds cottonseed meal," i It prairie hay Is used as roughage the ration may be as follows: Mix ture I=loo pounds dorn, 100 pounds oats, 100 pounds wheat bran, and 250 pounds linseed ofl meal. Misture 2 100 pounds barley, 100 pounds alfalfa meal, 100 pounds corn 01l meal, and 200 pounds lnseed ofl meal, Liming for Legumes Essential for Soil Ee T . Needed on Sandy Land for Alfalfa and Clover. Lime should be applied to the sos for the successful production of al falfa and the various clovers on the sandy soil of the Mississippi valley in Minnesota; on most of the soils of southwestern Minnesota (in general east of a line drawn directly south | from the Twin Cities to the lowa bor- | der) ; and to most of the soils of west ern Wisconsin except a strip border ing Lake Superior in Douglas, Bay field, Ashland and Iron counties. The goils of western Minnesota and the Dakotas are well provided with lime and none needs to be added to these soils when alfalfa is sown, except per haps in a few localities of North Da kota. The way to find out whether your soil needs lime, and how much, is to send a half-pound sample of soil to the soils division of your state experi ment station, which in Minnesota is lo cated at University farm, St. Paul, and in Wisconsin, at Madison. On most soils in the lime-deficient sec tions above mentioned, from two to three tons of ground limestone, lime stone screenings, or marl should be applied per acre. Marl beds may be found in many localities of eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin, and the product, when considered on the dry basis, is as valuable as ground limestone, Soil-testing outfits are now on the market with which a farmer can test his soil for lime, Southwestern Minnesota and adja cent sections of Wisconsin are well provided with deposits of llme:éone and numerous quarries from ich agricultural lime ecan be purchased. Some farmers find it profitable to hire owners of portable limestone grinders to pulverize limestone from outcrop pings on their own farms. The pur chase of such grinders is scarcely eco nomical for one farmer or even a group of farmers, as it is llkely to \stand idle too much of the time. It ' is more profitable for one man to own such a machine and devote all of his time to its operation.—The Farmer, Life of Weed Seeds “How long do weed seeds live?” Iy frequently asked by the farmer when he sees a fine growth of weeds in the spring on land that was left clean the year before, Such a sight is discour aging to him, and ‘often is quite un explainable, The life of a seed In the soll de pends upon many things: the amount of moisture in the soil, the tempera ture, the depth to which the seed is buried, and the nature of the seed itself.
