Future Dairy Farmer
May Feed Cows Sawdust,
American Chemists Say
CHICAGO.—When the dairy farm
er of the future needs feed for his
cows he may get a fresh supply by
going out in his wood lot and re
ducing a few stumps to sawdust.
By chemical treament hydrolyzed
sawduust may be converted into a
nourishing cattle food.
This fact was brought out today
at the sectional meeting of indus
trial and engineering chemists,
American Chemical Society, at the
University of Chicago. The process
of preparing such animal food was
directed by E. C. Sherrard and G.
W. Blanco.
While sawdust, finely ground, is
treated under steam pressure with
diluted sulphuric acid in a large
boiler known as a digestdr. This
breaks up the fiber and extracts the
sugar. To prevent injurious effects
Big Saving in Insurance '
One of Many Advantages
In U. S. Warehouse Plan
Fire insurance companies recently
announced that when a warehouse

recognition of the value of the gov
ernment inspection of warehouses
and of the other regulations of the
United States warehouse act.
The purpose of the act, with regard
to cotton. Is to standardize warehous

How Purebred Stock
May Be Introduced
Into Any Community
The causes of inferiority among
live stock, cattle, sheen, hogs, horses
and even chickens may be summed
up briefly. They are:
1. Lack of purpose in breeding
operations.
2. Failure to use good blood.
3. Indiscriminate mixing of dif
ferent types and! reeds.
4. Lack of good care and manage
ment.
In inaugurating the “Better Sires
—Better Stock’’ crusade, the United
States department of agriculture ful
'y recognizes the obstacles to be met
and overcome. There are few today
who believe that a scrub is in any
way equal to the pure-bred or better
bred animal. The pure-bred, par
ticularly the better-bred, animal is
rapidly finding a place on farms
where heretofore the less desirable
kind were raised. Those who pre
ciously were growing scrubs are
growing good stock* while those who
previously kept good ones are now
growing the better kind.
Good sires may "be introduced In
many ways, but among the more
practical are:
1. Individual ownership.
2. Co-partnership ownership,
the acid is neutralized by adding
lime to produce cherhical reaction.
The liquid thus obtained, when boil
ed down, is rich in sugar, and when
mixed with the fiber produces a
moist feed containing about fifteen
per cent of water, in which form
it is fed to dairy cows.
At the Forest Products Labora
tory, United States department of
agriculture, Madison, Wis., experi
ments proved that three cows thriv
ed on this sawdust ration and not
only gave more milk but increased
in weight.
The result was so satisfactory
that the government has decided to
take, up the matter on a larger scale
at the experiment stations through
out the country and furnish a de
tailed report on the value of hy
drolyzed sawdust as cattle food.

Above all, there Is no so-called red
tape. The inspections made four
times a year include a check of all
canceled receipts against receipts is
sued, and of the quantity of cotton
on hand. One short monthly report
relating to receipts and deliveries
of cotton and the amount of Insur
ance carried, if any, is required of
warehousemen.
The receipts of bonded warehouses
under the warehouse act are among
the best possible collateral. Local
bankers fully appreciate their value,
for th£y can be more readily redis
counted than the receipts of ware
houses that are not bonded. Any
building that will adequately protect
cotton from the weather Is acceptable
as a warehouse to the United States

Lice in Hog Pen
Means' Lost Profit
And Can Be Stopped
CLEMSON COLLEGE. Feeding
tests have recently been completed
which have shown that there is a
great loss of feed each year from al
lowing hogs in the feed lot to be
lousy. This is pure carelessness, as
•lice can be easily controlled. Two
year feeding tests on various / lots
of pigs at the United States Experi-'
ment Station have shown that costs
of gain on lousy pigs was a little
over a cent a pound more than on
those that were free from lice. This
would amount to at least $2.25 on
each hog, as 225 is about the aver
age weight that hogs obtain before
being marketed.
Crude petroleum is the most satis
factory remedy for lice, according to
the Extension Service animal hus
bandman. However, oil-drain from
an automobile or machine oil mixed
in the proportion of two parts of the
oil to one part of kerosene will be
found to kill lice satisfactorily, and
various stock dips will also control
them.
There are a number of ways of
administering treatment for lice. If
there is a dipping vat, the hogs may
be run through this. Sprinkling the
hogs is also a good method. A very
common method of control is to
wrap a piece of burlap bag soaked
in oil around a short post so that
the hogs may rub on this and in
that way get the oil over their bod
ies. There are many commercial
oilers on the market which will serve
the same purpose.
Maps Out Plan for
Model 35-Acre Farm
A county agent who has-been in
the work for a number of wears in
Kentucky and who, like many good
men, is desirous of owning his own
farm some day, has mapped out for
himself the detail of a 35-acre farm.
In the first place, this county agent
considers dairying as tne best meth
od of building up a farm and main
taining fertility. He would keep
about a half dozen registered or
high-grade cows and each fall pur
chase six or eight common ones for
production through the winter, sell
ing them in the spring when fat.
He would plant six acres of pota
toes each year, and after they were
dug he would sow a rich mixture of
crimson clover, rye and vetch for a
U'vor crop and to turn under for
the following year.
er corn he would plant alfalfa
weet clover mixed and keep this
wo years and then back into
toes again. He figures out that
rotation would be ideal; that
•si.-: land would increase in produc
tion and the farm be very profit
able, the only things to be sold be
ing products of his cows.—lnland
Farmer.
Have You Bought
Your Fertilizers?
Farmers should bear in mind the
fact that the transportation facil
ities of the country are badlj’- disor
ganized and freight movements slow
and uncertain. Special efforts are
being made to provide for the trans
portation of fertilizers, but even with
the greatest efforts of the railroads
it will probably be impossible to move
all that is needed. It behooves every
farmer to make its purchase at once
if not already ordered. To delay is
taking long chances on getting the
goods in time for fall seeding.—ln
land Farmer.
Trend of Farm Prices
The level of prices paid producers
of the United States for the princi
pal crops decreased about 1.6 per
cent during August; in the past 10
years the price level decreased about
1.2 per cent during August. On Sep
tember 1 the index figure of prices
was about 7.2 per cent lower than a
year ago, 0.5 per cent higher than
two years ago, and 56.9 per cent
higher than the average of the past
10 years on September 1.
The prices of meat animals—hogs,
cattle, sheep and chickens to produc
ers of the United States decreased
2.3 per cent from July 15 to August
15; in the past 10 years prices in
creased in like period 1.4 per cent
On August 15 the index figure of
prices for these meat animals was
about 22.1 per cent lower than a year
ago, 14.8 per cent lower than two
years ago, and 34.1 per cent higher
than the average of the past 10 years
on August 15.
Why Not Name Your Farm?
A little improve- ent, and an in
expensive improvement, but at the
same time an improvement verv
worth while, would be the naming
of our country homes.
You may ask “What’s in a name?”
Well, there is not much in a nr me.
but they are the source of much
pride to the farm owner. They
would be convenient to rural routes':
they would attract the passers-by.
They would be of financial value
when farm products, apples, vegeta
bles, butter, eggs, etc., that are
first-class leave the farm under the
farm name. Beautiful and appro
priate names would tend to make
the owners have the place look the
part.—lnland Farmer.

Southzvestern Farmers
Are Solving Problem of
Sweet Potato Storage
Since the advent of community
owned curing houses in many sec
tions of the south the sweet potato
as a commercial factor is
coming into considerable prominence.
It Is common knowledge that the
soil and climate of practically the
entire south is ideal for raising this
product in quantities varying from
100 to 300 bushels per acre.
The problem has been to store and
keep the potato until the late winter
months, when on all markets,' and
more particularly the northern ones,
lhe price is invariably good. Some
oY the leading agriculturists of the
north are studying the possibilities
of the southern sweet potato com
mercially. Now that the problem of
properly curing and conserving the
crop has been solved, making it prac
tical from an economic point of view
to raise the sweet potato in quanti
ties, the only reason they say that
the southern sweet potato does not
bring as good a price on northern
markets as the New Jersey ajid
other northern potatoes is that the
grading is so poor.
Right here let it be stated that
the writer has visited several Arkan
sas and Texas kilns, and that the
potatoes in these kilns were all well
graded, and this is probably the case
generally throughout, the south, due
largely to the efforts of the farm bu
reaus and county agents. When the
sweet potato goes north in the sprint
it will be found to be much better
graded than heretofore. With prices
at the kilns in Arkansas and Texas
of around $2 a bushel, as compared
to the average price at digging time,
which was 75 cents a bushel, vol
umes are spoken in favor of the
community-owned kilns as well as
for better grading.
A striking example of community
Dwindling of Pine Forests
Presents Problem to South
Rev. Aex W. Sealer, distinguished
Georgia clergyman and writer, in a
recent article published in the Sun
day Journal, told of the two or three
isolated tracts of virgin yellow pine
that now stand in this state as the
remnants of the great forests that
have fell before the ax.
Os especial interest, therefore, is
a statement from the forest service
of the United States department of
agriculture, predicting that In ten
years the south will have hardly
enough timber for its own needs.
The surprising facts brought out by
the government’s investigation make
up an interesting document.
The sure prospect of depleted tim
ber in the south is of the greatest
concern not only to jhat section, but
also to the rest of the country, be
cause the southern yellow pine is
today the most important single
source of lumber in the United
States It furnishes about 35 per
cent of the entire lumber cut of the
country and 41 per cent of the cut
-of sottwoods,” or coniferous trees,
which the world over are the main
dependents of general building and
construction. It is the wood most
used by builders from the great
Plains to-ihe Atlantic and from the
gulf almost to the Canadian lines.
Southern yellow pine is also the
leading item in our lumber exporta
tion, forming nearly half of our for
eign shipments of lumber.
In elevator construction this popu
lar wood formed 36 per cent of the
wood used and in ship and boat
building 32 per cent. Agricultural
implement makers draw on it for 31
per cent of the wood which they
consumed. It made about 48
cent of all the planing mill prod
ucts, including sash, doors, blinds
and general millwork. Although the
furniture industry Consumed chiefly
hi^.b ia^ dwoo . ds ~? ak ’, maple ’ sum and
birch, for example—it draws on yel
nan / ln^ e Or , approximately 25,000,-
uuu teet of lu j*er.
The great development of southern
pine production, which has made this
the chief relance of the lumber mar
kets of -all the eastern part of the
country and the Mississippi valley,
began in the seventies, and increased
to what will probably stand as its
top-notch record of a cut of about
16,000,000,000 board feet in 1909 An
3tand ot some 650,000,000,-
Y OO A e ®t’ occupying from 125,000,000
to 130,000.000 acres, has been re
duced by almost four-fifths.
A recent survey covering 5,400
’ o wnin S or controlling practi
cally the entire remaining virgin
stand in the south, made by the lum
ber manufacturers of the south,
showed that nearly 82 per cent of all
the mills reported will cut out their
timber in five years or less, 97 per
cent of all the mills -vili cut < it
their timber in ten y or less, and
in twenty years all uie mills except
twelve will cut out their timber.
At present the annual cut of yel
low pine saw timber, excluding hewn
ties, poles, posts, Is in the neighbor
hood of 15,000,000,000 feet. In 1930
this cut, according to the estimate
of the lumbermen themselves, will
drop to about 9.250,000,000 feet, or
nearlj’ 6,000,000,000 feet from the es
timated products in 1919. After 1931
the south will become more and more
an importing region. In fifteen years
the south will become dependent for
its own. needs upon large importa
tions of lumber from the Pacific
coast.
The elimination of large competi
tion from the southern yellow pine
because of its shrinkage output and
the transfer of the leadership to
Douglas fir, a timber tree more re
moved from the center of consump
tion than yellow pine is at present,
must inevitably lead to higher prices
for lumber. The south will undoubt
edly continue, as New England, to
be a lumber-producing region. High
grade yellow pine, however, from a
general utility wood will become,
just as white pine is today, a spe
cialty wood, while second growth
will furnish Inferior grades for in
dustrial purposes.
Forest depletion is an economic
evil of such seriousness that it is
awakening general attention among
lumbermen, foresters and the wood
using industries. It is generally
agreed that some form of public ac
tion must be taken to secure the
growing of new forests in place of
those that are now being vut wher
ever the land is not agricultural. Ef
fective protection of our forests and
cut-over lands against fire is being
advocated as the first and greatest
step toward halting the march of
devastation.

Kills 50 Chickens
To Find Diamond
DAVENPORT, la.—-It was a
tedious process for H. L. Wal
bourne, a grocer and butcher, to
recover a lost diamond valued at
.S6OO, for he was unable to tell
which of his 150 chickens had
swallowed the gem.
The diamond was missing from
his ring after he had unloaded
the chickens from crates and
placed tjiem in a coop and he
suspected one of the fowls had
eaten it.
He found the jewel today in the
gizzard of the fiftieth »fowl he
slaughtered.
THURSDAY, SEFTEHRER 23, l»20.
co-operation is the instance of the i
B armors’ Co-operative company, of I
Texarkana, Ark. This organization, i
a stock company composed entirely |
of farmers, bought a site, built #nd i
equipped a kiln and stored and cured i
all the potatoes raised by its mepi- |
bers, entirely with money borrovzed
first on the joint notes of the farm
ers and their stocks of potatoes and
later, when more money was need
ed to complete and equip, on the site
and the kiln. At digging time the
farmers could get 75 cents a bushel !
for their potatoes. Latei’ the quoted
price at the Texarkana kilns was ?2
and $2.25 a bushel for No. 1 stock •
and $1.50 for No. 2. The potatpes
in this kiln kept in excellent condi- i
tion and were exceptionally well
graded. These farmers, when their
potatoes are shipped and sold, will
own their own kiln and equipment,
including crates, and will receive in :
addition more clear money than If I
they had sold crop at digging I
time.
What the buyers want is a sound,
average-sized potato of good quality.
They object as strenuously to the
big, over-size kind —which is inva
riably poor in quality—as they do
the “strings” or little potatoes. There
is no doubt that when the southern
sweet potato is properly graded it
will obtain the top price on all mar
kets, no matter what the competi-.
tion. Add to this the statement •
made by a noted agriculturist that: j
“When we shall have devised b£t- ■
ter means for curing the potatoes for
shipment—the sweet potato crop
might become as valuable. as one- I
half the cotton crop.” .{
And it is easy to realize that the !
south today is fast developing a re- i
source which will in less than three ■
yeai’s’ time pass the cotton crop in i
volume of production, and at least '

scribed for Farmers’ Warehouse at
Kershaw.

at Van Wyck.
5. Community warehouses to be
built at Elgin and in the Belletown
section. I
6. Owners of warehouse space in
Lancaster promised to store
bales of cotton if needed.
7. Meetings planned in variou: !
townships to organize the county into
a strong branch of the South Carolina
Cotton association.
Cheaper Way of Harvesting
Hogging down corn saves the ex
pense of cutting and husking ant
none is wasted. Furthermore, very
little plantfood is lost from the land
and there is no maqure to haul. Corn
can be harvested; economically by
steers, followed by hogs, also. The
shortage of labor will cause the more
general practice of these labor-sav
ing methods.
