Riches and Enterprise
Os Her People Reflected
In Bartow County Fair
BY JACK Xi. PATTEBSOH
CARTERSVILLE, Ga., Oct. 16.
Bartow, ’ rich in agricultural and
mineral results, is one of the blue
ribbon counties of the state, so it is
no wonder that the eight annual ex
position of the county fair associa
tion, which closed tonight, was one
of the largest and most creditable
that has been promoted in Georgia
this year. The interest reflected
in an agricultural fair reflects the
prosperity and progressiveness of
the farmers of a community and
that there are many men in Bartow
of many avocations, was indicated
by the variety and general excellence
of the exhibits.
The town was gaily and prettily
decorated in anticipation of fair
week, patroitic colors floating from
almost every building in the busi
ness district of the city and across
the streets. Preparations for the en
tertainment of immense crowds had
been perfected, and the fact that
The Journal’s staff photographer ar
rived in the city unannounced, ahead
of schedule time, and found it nec
essary to journey on to Adairsville
to secure hotel accommodations for
the night, proved the realization of
the predicted attendance. Had the
photographer, whose name is with
held by request, not been timid
and retiring of disposition, arrange
ments could have been completed for
his reception in the home of several
prominent citizens of the city, but
he preferred to shoulder his camera
and advance to Adairsville, where
he spent a peaceful night before the
activities of a strenuous day.
Agricultural Department
Naturally, county fairs revolve
around the agricultural displays, and
knowing this, the management of
the Bartow county fair succeeded in
assembling a large number of ex
hibits for this Important department.
Stilesboro was awarded first prize
for the best and most complete dis
play of agricultural products grown
in and exhibited from any one dis
trict. This exhibit was collected and
displayed by the Ladies’ club of
Stilesboro, Miss Cambie Hawkins,
president, and showed that the la
dies of Bartow are manifesting an
intelligent interest In agriculture.
Adairsville was awarded second
money, the exhibit being In charge
of J. W. Burnes, a prominent and
successful planter.
Other prizes were awarded as fol
lows: Finest display of hay, Henry
Milam, Euharlee district; finest dis
play of apples, J. W. Burnes, Adairs
ville, fourteen varieties; finest dis
play of meats, Mrs. R. P, Pyron,
Cartersville.
Other exhibits that attracted at- i
tention were those of the Gaines 1
Marble company, Meade Long Sta- i
pie cotton, in charge of Joel Hurt, <
Jr., formerly of Atlanta; Webber j
Long Staple cotton, in charge of ,
Farmer Middlebrooks, of Carters- j
ville; Cartersville Mills and the Del- .
co lighting system. The exhibit of •
the Cartersville mills, a recently •
compD-nd enterprise, showed the .
process of spinning raw cotton Into j
undergarments of high class, dura- ,
ble and comfortable. The farm dem- ,
onstrator is authority for the state
ment that long staple cotton yields
in excess of the short staple in Bar
tow and that it possesses many oth- *
er advantages.
Ladies’ Building ‘
The ladies’ building, Mrs. W. H. 1
Field, superintendent, and Mrs. P. 1
C. Flemister assistant, was viewed i
with Interest by thousands of vis- <
itors during the week. The numer- 1
ous displays consisted of fancy work, ,
paintings, canned goods, culinary 1
achievements and other entries of .
interest to the ladies. Those in ■
charge of the departments were: <
Fancy work, Mrs. Robert Renfroe, ■
Mrs. Gaz White; cakes, bread and
candy, Mrs. Bob McGinnlns, Mrs. :
Jack Hill; canned goods, Mrs. Lem j
Lunsford, Mrs. Minnie Conyers; flow- .
ers, Mrs. Tanner Lowry, Mrs. Robert
Maxwell. The entries in these de
partments were prize winners. One 1
display of home-made candy consisted 1
of thirty-six varieties and another, !
the winner ®f the first prize, while
not so large, was obviously entitled
to the decision, being beautifully ar- ■
ranged and as pretty and sweet as
any product of the largest manufac
tories. 1
School Exhibit i
The exhibit prepared and entered ■
v the teachers of the public school ■
t the Atco cotton mills was a sea- ,
lure of the entire fair, showing a
■ omprehensive conception. The en- (
iries of the manual training depart
ment indicated that the students are
; nterested in the work and that they
,ave achieved well.
The canned fruits, vegetables and '
ether entries prepared by the girls,
offered conclusive evidence that they
are being thoroughly trained.
The teachers employed in the school
are Miss Mary Harris, principal;
Misses Mattie Belle Stanley, Eunice
Fallis, Retta Davis, assistants.
The principal and her assistants,
are making the Atco school one t>f
the best in the county and are also
prominently identified with civic im
provements in Atco and Cartersville.
This exhibit was considered by many
to be the principal feature of the
fair. As demonstrated by Miss Stan
ley, it was certainly educational, en
tertaining and interesting.
There were many school exhibits,
as the county school superintendent,
Professor J. W. Jackson, is a staunch
friend and supporter of the fair as
sociation. Exhibits were entered by
the Cartersville schools, Cassville,
Mission, Rogers, Stilesboro and oth
ers, all showing much care and taste
n selection and arrangement.
Cattle and Swine
The cattle barns were filled with
he famous Shorthorn, Jersey and
rher breeds of cattle popular in
north Georgia, a number of which
will be on exhibition at the South

city of Cartersville is almost en
tirely surrounded by mountains and
hills, whose depths abound in min
eral products. From Reservoir hill,
from which the city receives an abun
dant supply of pure water, one over
looks the city pleasantly situated in
a fertile valley whose soil yields a
rich reward to energetic farmers.
The Western and Atlantic, Louisville
and Nashville and Seaboard Air Line
railways make it one of the most
important industrial centers in north
Georgia, the number of trains passing
daily approaching one hundred.
The home of famous men and wom
en of the present and past, Carters
ville has won a place in the history
of the state. Here it was that the
late Rev. Sam P. Jones, believed by
many to be the most powerful evan
gelist of all time, made his home.
Cther citizens of historic fame who
have died were Major Charles H.
Smith, known throughout the na
tion under the pen name of “Bill
Arp,” author and philosopher; Dr.
William H. Felton, eminent preach
er and statesman, whose memory
will endure as lang as the monu
ment of the Georgia marble that
was erected in the courthouse yard
in his honor by his widow, no less
famous and beloved.
But all of the people who have
contributed to Cartersville are not
numbered among the dead. To speak
of Bartow county is to mention Mrs.
William H. Felton, who, at the ad
vanced age of eighty-five years, is
active in body and alert of mind.
Fondly referred to as the “grand old
woman of Georgia,” Mrs. Felton is
more than that; she is the grand
mother of all north Georgia and is
thoroughly conversant with all the
important topics of the day. That
she wields a vigorous and stingipg
pen was convincingly demonstrated
during the last political campaign.
Then there is another famous wom
an in Bartow county, Mrs. Corra
Harris, author of “The Circuit Rid
er’s Wife,” and a number of other
interesting stories that proclaim
her one of America’s foremost writ
ers. The lovely home of Mrs. Har
ris is situated far back among the,
mountains she loves, and is one of the
points of interest in north Georgia.
Old Mine Be-opened
The Ladd Lime and Stone com
pany, Atlanta, recently re-opened and
began the operation of a lime kiln
said to be one of the largest in the
south. The mine was in operation
prior to the war between the states,
and the output is without limit, and,
according to experts, will yield for
hundreds of years. The same prop
erty that was being worked seven
ty years ago Is now again the scene
of energetic activity, providing em
ployment for more than a hundred
men. \
The Cartersville Underwear mills
will begin operation on November 15.
This mill was erected at an invest
ment of $125,000 and there is al
ready a wide demand for its product.
The mill is owned principally by lo
cal capitalists who are ready at
any time to increase a profitable in
vestment.
Cartersville is under the commis
sion form of government, the officers
being, mayor, Paschall C. Flemis
ter; city manager, Abraham Coom;
commissioners, Paschall C. Flemis
ter, L. P. Lewis, Z. M. Jackson; city
clerk, Thomas A. Upshaw.
The board of trade is an active
organization that co-operates with
the city in the prosecution of every
project, its officers being, president,
W. J. Weinman; vice president, J. S.
Calhoun; secretary, fieorge Wood
row, Jr.; executive committee, W. J.
Weinman, J. S. Calhoun; J. W.
Vaughn, W. J. Taylor, Paschall C.
Flemister.
The Cherokee club is the woman’s
organization, the officers of which
are, president, Mrs. Lindsay Forres
ter; secretary, Mrs. W. W. Davis.
Dr. W. H. Bryan is district health
officer. He is waging a successful
fight against contagious diseases and
is receiving the cordial co-operation
of city and county officers.
With its natural resources and all
organizations working together for
the benefit of the citizens, it is no
wonder that Cartersville and Bar
tow county are making rapid prog
ress along every line of endeavor.
The Cartersville Tribune-News,
Milton L. Fleetwood, editor and pro
prietor, is the publicity medium that
renders all possible aid in every un
dertaking. It Is one of Georgia’s
biggest, brightest and best newspa
pers and is enjoying richly merited
patronage that makes it one of the
most progressive weekly newspapers
in the state.
Apples of Quality
Always Find Market
Most markets can always find use
for a good quality apple, no matter
what its shape or the color of its skin
may be. It is probably unreasonable
to say that one market will take
only certain varieties while another
will take other varieties. Conditions
are always changing ‘preferences
For instance, due to prices, there
was. in a certain year, a noticeably
increased demand for box-packed
fruit in some cities known as bar
reled-apple markets. The certainty
of securing uniformly sized, high
ly finished fruit at extremely low
prices was the only reason given for
this condition, say fruit specialists
of the United States department of
agriculture.
- o== AN-D SUCCESSFUL FARMING
Ifr AndrewM iSovle
Meeting the Situation
At last the war is beginning to
strike home. The grand parade is
over and jazzing is on the ebb. We
have lived in a riotous fashion for
five years. Never in our time has
money been so abundant, credit so
easy to secure and joy so uncon
fined.
There is an old saying that “He
who dances must pay the piper.” Is
it possible that our senses have been
so dulled by what has happened
that we forgot that the day of
reckoning would surely come? Is it
possible that a nation of normal
minded- people who have been con
servative, law-abiding and construc
tive in all their thought and effort
believe that conditions such as have
prevailed could continue forever.
I hope not. I believe not. In that
event, we will be ready to meet
the issues of the present and fu
ture with a much greater degree
of complacency than would other
wise be the case. This is not to be
a pessimistic statement but rather
a consideration of some facts as
they exist and suggestions as to
how to meet and overcome the diffi
culties of the situation by which
we are now confronted.
Surely we should have anticipated
and expected such a condition as
appears to be rapidly developing at
this time. We could not always ex
pect that wages would increase and
hours of labor shorten without
bringing about certain baleful reac
tions. There was bound to be a
boosting of the peak of living costs
to the breaking point. You cannot
cut down production and lessen in
dividual effort and at the same
time maintain the economic earn
ing power of the people of any
given community.
One cannot spend all the money
they secure from high wages or
high prices for either raw or man
ufactured articles and have a re
serve to draw, on in the hour of
emergency. We have had a tumul
tuous time dancing, spending and
enjoying ourselves generally. Let
us now “pay the piper” with
equanimity and good heart. To this
end, we must first realize that hard
er work and longer hours lie im
mediately ahead.
Os course everyone is bound to
be hurt by a recession in prices
or change from existing conditions.
Especially will this prove true in
the case of those who are consid
erate of their pocketbooks above
social, economic and national-wel
fare issues. But it we cannot es
cape the inevitable, let us meet it
fairly and squarely.
All that can be asked is a just
and fair shrinkage in values all
round. It is not just that any one
class of society should be asked to
bear the burdens of the other. It is
not right that all the losses and
imposts should be put on the pro
ducer. But I do not think the pro
ducer, keen as his disappointment
may be and severe as his losses
may seem, will object to carrying
his part of the burden.
Os course the producer of foods
and raw materials, the farmer, is
the last as a rule, to benefit by
an increase in prices and the first
to feel the recession. It is natural
that he should be confused and
disturbed over the present situa
tion. He has raised his present crop
for the feeding and clothing of the
nation under the most difficult and
trying of conditions. Costs have
been exceedingly high. Bumper crops
are available and this is helping
to cause a severe sagging of the
market.
For moneyed interests or others
to combine in any effort to reduce or
lower the returns of the producer be
yond the absolute necessity of the oc
casion is suicidal and unjust in the
highest extent, and I would certain
ly side with the producer under such
conditions. For after all he is the
man who made possible the winning
of the war, who has given us our
dominance in industry and world
trade, who has made it possible for
the laborer to receive such high
wages, who has given us this
delirious holiday in which we have
all participated. j
To forget or overlook the source
from which real prosperity has al
ways come will be the most serious
economic error we could commit at
a time when the safety, sanitay,
progress and future success of the
nation needs our first thought and
consideration. Under the circum
stances, what should be done? In so
far as the producer is concerned,
credit, consideration and encourage
ment should be extended to him from
every soWce. It is the duty of this
nation to protect him in so far as it
can legitimately. The writer is hope
ful that far more consideration will
be extended along this line than some
people are disposed ‘to think likely
at this time.
The next step is for the producer
to squarely face the Issues before
him. To this end, he should sell
such part of his products as will
enable him to pay or liquidate a suf
ficient amount of his indebtedness to
prevent the wheels of trade and com
merce from stagnating.
There are those who will say this
involves an undue sacrifice. The
future will show that this statement
is not true. I have never been able
to see how an indebted Individual
gained anything by deferring pay
ment on a market which is disposed
to shrink in value. Already we have
had a number of business colapses
of considerable magnitude. The
losses involved might have been
minimized greatly but for a failure
to recognize the approach of an
economic reaction.
Holding on in the face of shrink
ing values is not a desirable policy
On the other hand, panic selling and
the glutting of the market would be
equally foolish and absurd. There is
no reason why either policy should
prevail. If we sell enough of out
raw materials to satisfy our indebt
edness. then we can hold the bal
ance of our crops, if that policy
seems advisable. At least we can
market our surplus crops slowly and
with materiaf advantage to all the
interests concerned.
I think, therefore, the first propo
sition is to adjust our indebtedness
in so far as this is practicable. If
a loss must be taken, the sooner the
better. The smaller under such cir
cumstances will be the aggregate of
the loss. Having done this, we
should then nlan to economize along
all lines. We have accustomed our
selves to many luxuries are not
essential. It will not hurt us to go
back in this respect to prewar condi
tions.
There should be no slackenin'” off
in the effort of the producer. There
should be a re-adjustment of course
of farm operations. Diversification
is more desirablk now than it has
ever been. If there ever •was a time
when every animal and every acre
should be used in production as
economically and as skilfully as pos
sible it is now.
Because cotton is off in price,
should we abandon the cultivation of
cereals in Georgia? I say no. a thou
sand times no. We will still need
bread and grain for our live stock
next spring. This is a time to ex
ert ourselves to the utmost raising
our own bread foods at home and all
the grain needed for our animals. If
we do this, we will have added sev
eral cents to the value of every
pound of cotton compared with what
we will receive if we fail to pro
duce our own cereals.
Cereals make our most desirable
hay crops. It is needless to point
out that we spent millions of last
year’s cotton crop for hay and grain.
We must of necessity save this
money under present conditions- We
should proceed to plow and prepare
our land for corn this fall. Now is
the accepted time for the destruction
of the boll weevil on the most ex
tensive and effective basis possible.
Let us break the land intended for
cotton immediately and all the other
land we possibly can before Christ
mas.
There should be a good fall garden
planted on every farm. -This will
help reduce the cost of living very
materially. A good garden is worth
at least $50,000 a month to the aver-
age householder. We will have just
as many people to feed next year as
we have ever had. So let us not neg
lect the importance of the home gar
den.
We should give our live stock bet
ter attention and consideration. We
should diversify along this line as
well as in crop growing. We will
still need meat and animal products
in the future as we have in the past.
We should make an effort to clean
up the farm and destroy weeds and
trash so as to minimize the number
of satisfactory hiding places not on
ly for weevils but the millions of
other insects which preyed so se
riously on our farm crops this year.
We should be giving attention now
to the selection of the best varieties
of cotton, corn and seed of our other
standard farm crops for planting
next season. We should be cleaning
up the orchid, spraying it when nec
essary and putting it in position to
yield the maximum amount of fruit
for next year. There are a thou
sand ways in which we can and
should busy ourselves with advant
age, with profit and success.
over spilled milk” is a waste of time.
Life is all in the future.
We may be hurt momentarily, and
there may be a shrinkage in values,
but it will be only temporary. It
will not destroy us. We are econo
mically sound at heart. There may
be a let-up in business, but the life,
trade and industry of the country
has not stagnated as yet. Our out
look toward life and our attitude in
the next twelve months are to be the
determiring factor in the situation.
This Is a time when courage,
economy and industry mean every
thing. Let us meet the situation
cheerfully, forcefully and with san
ity. We have had far more difficult
and trying situations to confront in
the past. Now is the time to be
brave and forward-looking. This is
the policy that always wins.
When and How to Seed Eespedeza
H. T. 8., Quitman, Ga., writes:
I wish to know what is the
proper time for seeding lespe
deza for a pasture for hogs.
How much seed should be used
and what type of soil is best
suited for it?
Lespedeza is one of the most val
uable of the clovers adapted to the
south. It is presumed to have been
imported from Japan many years
ago. It does especially well on our
southern soils. It naturally makes
a more vigorous growth on rich land
than on poor. On rich soil It grows
upright and will yield fairly good
cuttings of hay. On thin soil it
has a creeping habit, but neverthe
less makes an excellent pasture on
this type of land. It may be sown
either in the fall or in the spring
and about twenty-five pounds of
seed should be used per acre. Har
row it into the ground 'to a depth
of one and one-half to two inches.
The deeper covering is desirable on
the lighter types of soil. The land
should then be rolled so as to pro
vide a fine seedbed.
This clover may be used for pur
poses of green manuring as it be
longs to the family of legumes and
so enriches the land on which it is
grown. It is too valuable from my
point of view for grazing purposes
on lands which are intended to be
kfipt in permanent pasture for some
years. It may be sown on Bermuda
sod with excellent results. It makes
a considerable part of its growth at
the same time the Bermuda is
growing. The combination, however,
makes a very excellent pasture. In
south Georgia one may seed this
crop in the fall. In middle Georgia
and north Georgia, in the spring.
Growing- Crimson Clover Without
liime
P. E. J., Brooklet, Ga., writes;
Can I grow good crimson clover
without liming my land? The
soil is deficient in lime. Would
also like to sow some alslke and
bur clover. Any information you
can give me on these clovers
will be appreciated.
Crimson clover does very well oc
casionally on land which has not
been limed. We take this to be the
exception, however, rather than the
rule if we may judge by our expe
rience. In many sections where
crimson clover has been grown suc
cessfully in the south there are out
croppings of limestone, and a good
deal of the soil devoted to this crop
contains more calcium than most of
our Georgia soils. If I had the crim
son clover seed on hand and could
not get the crushed, raw lime rock
immediately, I would not hesitate to
sow It. But if I were so situated
that I could apply a ton of lime
rock per acre, I would prefer to use
it before seeding this legume. I
would not use alsike or bur clover
with Crimson clover. The ywill not
mature at the same time, and there
is nothing to be gained by seeding
them together. Alsike clover is best
adapted for growth on low, moist
lands. Bur clover should have been
sown last July or August. It can be
seeded now, it is true, but it is not
likely to make any appreciable
growth the first year even under fa
vorable circumstances. Hence, you
gain absolutely nothing from my
point of view by sowing it with
crimson clover. Crimson clover may
be sown with oats, wheat or rye
for hay production. It gives bot
tom to these crops. You can, of
course, use crimson clover and hairy
vetch with any of the legumes. We
have never followed this practice
to any extent as we prefer to seed
either one of the crops mentioned
with our winter growing cereals
rather than to combine them.
Managing an Asparagus Bed
N. M. P., Gainesville, Ga.,
writes: Please tell me what to
do for an asparagus bed now.
The plants are waist high.
If my asparagus bed were cover
ed with Bermuda grass I would pro
ceed to get rid of it as expeditious
ly as possible. It will not hurt to
cut the asparagus tons down now
even with the ground. You can then
remove the grass with a hoe. You
should rake the roots out of the soil
after they have been cut out of the
ground and destroy them by either
thoroughly composting or burning
them. We prefer the former meth
od. It takes more time, and is a
slower process, but nevertheless is
more effective in the long- ’•un. Aft
er you have gotten the asparagus
brush and the grass off the bed, pro
ceed as follows:
Mulch it with barnyard manure at
the rate of twenty tons per acre.
The manure should be well rotted.
Where it has been composted, it is
quite likely that most of the weed
seeds which it may contain will have
been killed. This is a very desir
able end to attain. The compost
should be dug lightly, but uniformly
into the surface of the asparagus
bed. In the early spring we would
cover the bed with salt, put on at
the rate of two to five pounds per
acre. The salt should be raked into
the surface soil. When the aspara
gus begins to sprout out in the spring
you may fertilize the bed at the rate
of 500 pounds or more per acre. A
; good formula will be one containing
4 per cent of nitrogen, 9 per cent of
phosphoric acid and 4 to 5 per cent
of potash. The fertilizer should be
worked into the surface of the
ground.
Storing Late Vegetables
The storing of late vegetables is
! often profitable for those who grow
! them in sufficient quantities for
! marketing, giving the grower the
(direct benefit of the winter price. To
i care for the surplus vegetables in
I many cases requires nothing more
i than the use of existing facilities in
ior near the home. W'hen consider
able quantities of vegetables are to
be stored, it is frequently advisable
(to construct permanent storage facil
ities in the form of a storage room
in the basement of a dwelling or un
der an outbuilding or to build an out
door cellar of wood or masonry. If
permanent facilities are not avail
able. late root crops can be kept in
outdoor pits or banks, requiring no
cash outlay except for labor.

Proper Pen for Bull
Gives Complete Safety
Arid Benzfits Animal
“Far too many valuable bulls are
being lost to the dairy world be
cause they become ugly or dangerous
to handle,” remarked an agent of
the Dairy Division, United States
department of agriculture, who re
cently returned from a field trip.
It is true that bulls are dangerous,
•especially the older ones, and none
of them should be trusted; but it is
not until a bull has reached full ma
turity, with the resulting size and
temperament which make him hard
to handle, that his worth as a sire
can* be proved. Selling bulls as soon
as thev begin to lose "the gentleness
of immaturity simply means that
breeders must forever rely on un
tried sires, and it is merely a mat
ter of luck whether the resulting off
spring is good or not.
A Characteristic Quality
“Dangerous as a mad bull” is a
proverb. Yet it must be remember
ed that such madness is a character
istic quality of bulls. Not only some
bulls, but all bulls, are subject to
outbursts of violence from time to
time. These do not necessarily
signify fither craziness or anger on
the part of the bulls, but often sim
ply the aggressiveness which in
dicates vigor and good health. What
is called ugliness, therefore, may be
mere playfulness.
On the other hand, sometimes a
bull may become really ugly, show
ing a desire to fight and destroy.
But whether the animal’s behavior is
due to playfulness or bad temper
makes no difference. In either case
the bull should not be trusted, but
a proper pen will make it unneces
sary to lose a valuable bull by sell
ing him for beef simply because of
his refractory conduct. This char
acter merely mean s that the bull
should be kept and handled in such
away that the owner (or keeper, if
it is in a bull association) is not ex
posed to attack. This object can be
attained by keeping the animal in the
right sort of house and ] en.
Such a pen has recently been de
vised and described by specialists of
the dairy division. Fear of ugly
bulls has been one difficulty which

Maple Sap Producers

ITHACA, N. Y.—Saving their mem

through the co-operative sale of ma
ple . sap products, the various co
operative associations throughout the
state are being chalked up at the
office of the state federation of farm
bureaus here as being among the
most successful co-operative agricul
tural enterprises attempted in New-
York.
So well are the sap producers
pleased, it was stated at the federa
tion office here that they are going
out after definite cost records so they
can know what price they should re
ceive for maple syrup and sugar to
give them a fair profit and at the
same time play fair with the con
sumer.
A series of conferences of sap pro
ducers has been held about the
state, including meetings at Malone,
Watertown, Oneonta and Olean. Re
ports at these conferences showed
that prices received the last year by
various growers and co-operators
have varied by more than a dollar
a gallon. In some places the product
had moved readily and in a few
places it was not yet sold.
’ However, the experience of the
producers who had co-operated wa»
uniformly good; the members in one
county estimated that their associa
tion had made over $2,500 for them.
Another association felt that they
had made a saving of 26 cents a
gallon on 39,000 gallons, or about
SIO,OOO in all. It was the sentiment
of every conference that more co
operative bodies should be organized
and these in turn federated into a
state-wide organization.

have met with in their work, and the
same fear on the part of individual
owners has led to th eslaughter and
loss of great numbers of excellent
sires. In view of these facts it has
been recognized that it is needful to
have a pen which will make it easy
and reasonably safe for the breed
er to keep and care for the fiercest
bull by avoiding the necessity of
coming into contact with the animal
without the protection of a fence.
It is always unsafeto count upon
the good disposition of any bull
whatever. No bull is to be trusted.
The pen which has been devised,
however, lessens the danger to such
an extent that the question whether
a bull should be kept in service may
be decided on the ground of his value
as a sire, and not with reference to
whether he is good natured or ugly.
Essential Features
The essential features of the plan
are (1) to feed and water the bull
without entering his stall; (2) to
have a large yard for him to exercise
in, built so that he can not break
out, but of easy exit for anyone go
ing into the yard; and (3) to havo
an adjustable gate, by means of
which the bull can be turned into
his exercise yard, into the breeding
stall, or into the stable, and held
there at the keeper’s will, without
the keeper h. ving to enter the in
closure. Then, when the bull is let
out into tne yard, he can be shut
out there while his stable is cleaned.
When a cow is placed in the breed
ing stall, the handling of the bull
can all be done from the outside,
where the keeper is entirely safe. If
it is deemed desirable to keep the
bull in on end of the cow stable
during the winter, the specially con
structed yard can be built on the
outside /f the cow stable.
This style of bull pen keeps the
keeper safe. It also keeps the bull
safe from the butcher. Plans for
the safe-keeper pen will be supplied
by the Dairy Division, United States
Department of Agriculture, Wash
ington, D. C., to those who have bulls
ih charge. Factors of safety in
fencing th» yard are also pointed out
in connection with these plans.
Farm Production Not
Keeping Pace With
Growing Population
Crop production in this country in
1919, as estimated by the bureau of
crop estimates of the United States
department of agriculture, was 11 per
cent above the average of the pre
war years 1910-1914, and this was not
previously equaled except in 1915,
when the production was 16 per cent
above the average. Late in the grow
ing season of 1920 the production of
crops was apparently 13 per cent
above the average.
A tale of another sort is told when
crop production is compared with
population. During the last thirty
years the largest per capita produc
tion was in 1898, when it was 12 per
cent above the average of 1910-1914.
In most of the years from 1896 to
1915 per capita production was above
the average. The highest point, how
ever, reached since 1915 has been
the average of the five years men
tioned, and this was done in 1917 and
apparently in 1920. Notwithstanding
the great mass of the crops of 1920,
they are, after all, no greater than
the average when compared with the
great mass of an increasing popula

A New Log Saw
Cuts Faster, Costs Eess, Makes Moro
Money for Users and Works
While You Best
A new improved power log saw, now
being offered, outdoes all other log
saws in cutting wood quickly and at
little cost. A new 4-cycle, high pow
er moter equipped with Oscillating
Magneto—no batteries to fail you—
makes the saw bite through logs
faster than other log saws. It fin
ishes its cut and is ready for another
before the ordinary saw is well start- <
ed. This log saw—the Ottawa— has
a specially designed friction clutch,
controlled by a lever, which starts
and stops the saw without stopping
the engine. Others have imitated,
but no other power log saw has this
improvement just like the Ottawa.
The Ottawa Log Saw sells for less
money than any power saw of any
thing like its size.
