Gives- Great Results on
Missouri Stock Farm
With a shortage of beef cattle in
this country as the result of the in
ability of many farmers to handle
cattle profitably with present feed
prices, added interest was contained
for both producer and consumer in
the breeding up demonstration at
Sni-a-Bar Farms, Grain Valley, Mo.,
says the Weekly Kansas City Star.
The demonstration—one of the steps
in a 30-year exemplification of the
value of using purebred sires in
grading up a beef herd from com
mon cows—has as its object the
bringing home to the average farmer
a method by which he can produce
cattle more profitably with little
added expense.
More Than, Four Thousand Tharo
More than four thousand persons
attended the third annual showing
of the demonstration, many of them
farmers who had driven long dis
tances to be present. Intense inter
est was shown by the crowd in de
t.<!s of the demonstration and the
fourteen pens containing the cattle
representing the phases of the dem
onstration were thronged all day by
eager members of boys and girls’
clubs from country schools, appre
ciative young farmers and their ap
proving elders.
The breeding up demonstration,
which was -started seven years ago
by William R. Nelson with two hun
dred common red “canner” cows and
heir calves' purchased at the stock
yards, and purebred Shorthorn sires,
now has progressed to where ani
mals of the third cross from the
purebred bulls and the common cows
are available for inspection.
Stages of Improvement Shown
Through a display of fourteen pens
the visitors were able to see how the
use of these purebred bulls had im
proved the quality of the stock.
There were common cows recently
purchased at the stockyards similar
to the ones which started the £emon-
Lration. and their nondescript calves,
sired by such bulls as farmers com
monly use. Then there were first
and second cross cows to compare
with the original common cows, first,
second and third cross calves to com
pare with the common calves, and"
first and second cross “half fat’’ and
“fat” steers to show how the vari
ous steer crosses look when more
mature.
In visiting the pens it was noticed
Got 117 Eggs

Says One of Ottrßeaders
Msgffifcssa«g«
One of our readers says, “More
Eggs’’ increased my supply from
3 to 117 eggs.” You, too, can reap big
ger profits than ever, by making sure of
a big egg yield this winter. A scientific
tonic has been discovered that revitalizes
the flock and makes hens work all the
time. The tonic is called “More Eggs.”
Give your hens a few cents’ worth of
“More Eggs” and you will be amazed and
delighted with results.
Now is the time to give “More
Eggs” to your hens, while prices
are high and profits big. Don’t let your
hens loaf; make them lay. "More Eggs"
Tonic has done this for 400,000 chicken
raisers all over the country. It will do the
same for you.

by those trained in cattle raising that
' improvement in type was the most
marked characteristic between the
nondescript calves born to the com
mon cows when bred to such bulls
as the majority of farmers use, and
the first cross calves, offspring of the :
common cows and pure-bred sires.
The first cross calves were more par
ticularly of a beef type, being block
ier, with greater width over the
shoulders, wider and straighter
backs, and standing closer to the
ground. They showed up to much
better advantage than their mothers,
the common cows.
The Difference Ib Marked
The difference between the first
and second crosses was noticed in
the greater fleshing qualities of the
second cross animals and their ear
lier maturity—in a word, ability to
produce more beef with less feed. In
the 2-year-old fat steer pen, contain
ing first and second cross steers
averaging 1,580 pounds, this was par
ticularly noticeable. This pen, for
example, contained a roan steer of
the second cross, a blocky, thick set
animal, carrying solid meat to al
most every Inch of its capacity, with
a wide, smooth back rippling under I
the mellow hide, quarters deep and i
full, short legs, square head and ,
wide chest giving an added appear- ■
ance of massiveness.
By the side of this steer stood a |
red one of the first cross, slightly
rougher, the back not so straight nqr
so wide and the body farther from 1
the ground. While fully as big as j
the roan as to frame, careful com- !
parison show’ed the first cross steer
contained less flesh, principally lack
ing in meat where the high-priced
cuts are taken off. The value to the
raiser, it was computed, was ?2 the
hundred pounds greater f t or the roan, j
Yet the red it was pointed out, al- I
though not so efficient a beef mak
ing machine, probably would be pick
ed at $3 a hundred pounds more by
the buyer over a steer sired by a
scrub or grade bull.
Under Average Conditions
None of these cattle, it was ex
plained, had any better care or feed
than the average farmer can success
fully give. The cows have never test
ed grain and the calves are grazed
and “roughed through” until ready
to be fattened. It was brought home
to the crowd how pure bred sires,
although costing more at first than
scrubs and grades, pay in the grading
up of a herd. To amplify visual
testimony the visitors were given
booklets describing the history of the
demonstration, which contained the
marketing results of all steers sold
from Sni-a-Bar farms since the start
of the demonstration in 1913. Those
figures showed that while two lots
of steers which were fed out of the
calves which came with the common
cows in 1913, sired by bulls the farm
ers who owned the cows before they
were shipped in for slaughter use,
sold for from 60 cents to $2.25 a hun
dred pounds less than the best sales
on the market that -day, one of the
three shipments of first cross steers
sold for more than any other farm
er's that day, several of the Sni-a-
Bar farms lots breaking yard records
for’ selling price.
Many Heard Addresses
Part of the program of the demon
stration included several addresses in
a large pavilion to the south of the
cattle pens. In this pavilion, crowd
ed to capacity, Irwin Kirkwood, agent
for the trustees of the W. R. Nelson
estate, described the plan Mr. Nelson
had in mind when he purchased Sni
a-Bar farms and dedicated them to
the “material and social benefit of
the public.” Dean ,C. F. Curtiss, of
lowa State college, discussed prob
lems affecting agriculture, and F.
W. Harding, general executive of the
American Shorthorn Breeders’ asso
ciation, talked of the value of pure
bred sires. ’ i
At noon four thousand persons ,
were the guests of Sni-a-Bar farms .
at a luncheon served cafeteria style
and eaten in the speakers’ tent or
on the blue grass outside. In the
afternoon the groups visited the pens
containing the demonstration cattle.
Experts Will Discuss
Cotton Dusting Plan
The United States department of
agriculture will participate in a con
ference called by the Plant Protec
tion institute, to be held at the
Chemists’ club in New York, Decem
ber 6 and 7, to outline a program for
cotton dusting in 1921. Treatment of
cotton with poison dust, principal- |
ly calcium arsenate, has been of i
such recent development as a means
of combatting the boll weevil that i
often impracticable methods have j
been employed for its application,
many of which were due to improp
er advice given by representatives of
manufacturers who were not thor
oughly informed on the problem. The
present meeting is to provide a
clearer understanding of the work
and to outline an educational cam
paign for 1921, which should result
in the farmers having the best ad
vice and supervision possible in
their poisoning efforts.
Save $lO a Ton by
Making Own Fertilizer
Farmers in Morgan county,. Ala
bama, have saved approximately $lO
a ton by mixing their fertilizer at
home under the direction of the
county agent instead of shipping in
the ready mixed article. About 300
farmers have joined the home-made
fertilizer movement. Then farmers
joined in buying a carload of ground
limestone which was used with good
results, and a number have been
testing nitrate of soda on corn and .
cotton. The factory mixed commer- 1
cial fertilizer has cost S4O to S6O a
ton, and the price placed a limit on
its use which has been largely re
lieved by the practice of home mix
ing. In Bullock county ten central
communities have engaged in co-op
erative buying of commercial ferti
lizer and ingredients for home-mixed
fertilizer. ,
Calcium Arsenate Pays
Louisiana Farmer
An idea of the benefit gained by
application of the calcium arsenate
treatment developed and recommend
ed by the United States department ;
of agriculture against the cotton- j
boll weevil is found in the experience ;
of a large planter at Tallulah, La. ■
Wit hthe exception of certain test ;
plats, this man’s entire acreage was
dusted with calcium arsenate, the
cost being $9.20 an acre. He obtain- i
ed an average yiel dos 1,215 pounds -4
of seed cotton to the acre on the j
land surrounding the test plats. ;
while these unpoisoned test plats I
averaged only 300 pounds, or about '
25 per cent of the yield on the pois- I
oned cotton. Thus his net profit '
from poisoning on these areas on
sales made before declining prices
of cotton was about $l2O an acre.
Crop Records Help
Catch-as-catch-can methods of con
ducting the farming business are be
ing discouraged through the efforts
of the county agent In Madison
ccfunty, Alabama. Farmers were I
first encouraged to keep expense on !
labor accounts on the growing of a I
single crop. Standard record books ;
were furnished for this purpose. The ;
practice has been a great assistance j
in the planning of a subsequent ■
year’s work and has resulted in the i
saving of expenses, the seriousness I
of which had not been realized when |
no accounts were kept. A number '
of farmers who started keeping ac- ■
counts have learned the advantage !
of having a deposit at the bank and :
have acquired habits of thrift.

Dearly Loves Her Calling

Mrs. C. A. Parsons, with the giant cashew, which was part of
her prize exhibit at the Southeastern Fair.
BY MEDOKA FIELD
A woman’s exhibit aroused more
interest, perhaps, than any at the
Southeastern fair. It wasn’t a mar
velous painting, at least not a paint
ing on canvas. It wasn’t an intri
cate design in needlework. It wasn’t
any of the things that you nat
urally expect a woman to exhibit,
or if it xvas, it so far eclipsed the
usual exhibit of its kind in variety
and completeness that this very fea
ture made it unique, and, in away,
spectacular. That is why it received
first prize blue ribbon.
It was a farm exhibit. A wom
an’s farm exhibit, remember. It in
cluded everything from a bale of
cotton down to peanut meal. And
the woman who produced this amaz
ing variety of stuff wasn’t a Norse
woman, built, along the lines of the
Amazon—the type you’ve seen in
dim old canvases driving a pair of
mammoth oxen to the plow, with a
magnificent sunset in the back
ground. She is just the antithesis
of this type. She’s dainty and chic
and rather petite. It’s much easier
to picture her reading committee re
ports in the woman’s clubroom—
even though she smilingly assures
you that she dons her "overettes”
at 5 a. m. and sallies forth to till
the soil.
Loves Fanning
Ask Mrs. C. A. Parsons, of Ra
mer, Ala., why she does it. Ask
the painter why he paints; ask the
sculptor why he ‘sculpts;” ask the
fiddler why he plays: ask the singer
why she sings, and you have Mrs.
Parsons’ answer. Because she loves
it—because it Is her work. Like
Eleanor H. Porter’s “Just David,”
she will smile in away that says
"Blessed is he that has found his
work and i s doing it.” That, Mrs.
Parsons sa-ys, is the secret of suc
cess and the secret of happiness.
"The trouble with most people,”
she points out, ‘is that they fly too
high whey they try to find their
work—their, metier. They -xpect to
find it somewhere up in the hazy
clouds, when all the time it’s so
close to earth that they stumble
over it and never know it.
“You see.” said Mrs. Ramer, “I
was brought up on a farm, but that
din’t mean that I knew a thing
about farming. There was always
something about farm life that ap
pealed to me, though. My husband
owns and operates a saw mill. That
takes up all of his time. I had a
sixty-five-acre farm. Leasing it out
to tenants wasn't very satisfactory.
I noticed that I always had to buy
feed for the stock and about a thou
sand other things that it seemed to
me a farm should supply itself.
Three years ago we decided to make
our home there and I decided to
cultivate the farm myself. I learned
a lot that first year, from agricul
tural literature, from expert advice
of seasoned farmers, but most of
all, from experience.
Intensive Flan
“You see,” she continued, “I have
only twenty acres under cultivation,
but it is intensive and diversified
cultivation. My idea isn’t so much
to produce a big lot of one article
that I can make a large market profit
UNCLE SAM IS
IMPORTING MANY
FOREIGN PLANTS
Scores of emigrants from Africa
have recently found their way into
the United States. Instead of pass
ing the barrage of examinations at
Ellis Island these newcomers will
the taken in charge. by the office of
foreign seed and plant introduction
in the bureau of plant industry.
Each will be given a small section
of earth on the experimental plats
of the United States department of
agriculture, where, under the guid
ance and observation of experts, ev
ery one of the lot will be made to
show it scitizenshin aualifications in
a practical way. The plant strang
ers are an odd-looking assortment of
fruits, •ornamental shrubs, forage
grasses, sorghums, fiber plants, etc.,
quite new to this country.
There is a beautiful little dwarf
lemon which originated in China and
Is now in this country looking for
an opportunity to prove that it can
bear its delicious lemons in any
body’s greenhouse or sunny room as
easily; and as well as it can in a
Chinese garden. Another Chinese
speclmwi is the large-fruited haw,
an unusually large variety of the
hawthorn family, with a sour juicv
fruit that is especially good in com
potes and jellies.
As the new immigrants arrive
several members' of an older ship
ment yill go out to begin careers of
ornamental or economic importance
in new homes. The scientists, who
have watched these older importa
tions to send a few samples to
various plantations and gardens.
Among these is the pistache nut
from the Mediterranean region,
which has proved its value in Cali
fornia already, where many of these
trees are already thriving. The
pistache tree of the Levant has a
wonderful Chinese relative with
ornamental foliage—wine colored in
spring and scarlet and yellow in
autumn. The nut of the" true
tach is much in demand as an ar
ticle of food, and the timber of the
Chinese immigrant is valuable for
making furniture.
Southern Florida had no native
nuts except the coconut, so the de
partment of agriculture brought the
Queensland nut from Australia. It
flourishes in its new environment,
where it is being cultivated and
propagated by the bureau of plant
on, but to take care of the needs of
my own family table, the tenants on
our farm, the stock, and anything
that is left over can be sent to mar
ket. It finds a ready sale, I can tell
you, and the profit runs into a good
deal more than pin money. That
is, unless - one’s idea of pin money
runs to fur coats, diamonds and au
tomobiles, of. course.”
“Do you mean that you can actual
ly plow a straight furrow?”
“I have to confess,” she laughed,
“that really can’t. I’ve tried to,
but I always fail miserably. So I
bought a cultivator. All I have to do
is sit up and make the horse follow
his nose, and the furrows take care of
themselves. Then, of course, I can’t
do all the farm work. There’s a
helper who lives on the place. His
wages are $lB a month, and his
rent and, of course, supplies that are
raised on the place. Besides farm
work I do all my own housework.
Everything but the washing and
milking. The helper’s wife looks aft
er the washing. You see, we have
twenty-five cows, about eighty Duroc
hogs—and chickens, well, they are too
numerous to mention. Os course, I
do a lot of canning.”
Her Exliibit
When you looked at all the canned
stuff Mrs. Parsons had on exhibit,
you were ready to take her word for
it. Tier on tier of the most beautiful
canned an# preserved fruits, jellies,
canned vegetables, canned meats,
pickles, everything. And if you
didn’t see that exhibit, the artistic
manner in which it was arranged and
all that, I’ll have to tell you a little
about it, though it had to be seen
to be appreciated.
Every sort of farm product was
used. The walls, of course, were
lined with canned fruits, a quaint
little fence of cut sugar cane ran
alongside the partition, while the
exhibit itself was enclosed in bales
of hay. In the center was a bale of
cotton, the floors were covered with
different kinds of grain and flour, and
the partitions were hung with corn
and beans and all sorts of other dec
orative farm products. But then, I
never could enumerate all the differ

there was not a single one left out.
It looks to us like Mrs. Parsons
has just about solved the problem of
the H. C. L. individually, and that’s
the only way it can be solved, you
know. Seems, too, as though the an
cient idea jof regarding a woman as
a chattel or an ornament has pretty
well passed, doesn’t it? Not that she
has to be any less ornamental, of
course. Certainly Mrs. Parsons isn’t.
And I’d say that she must be a much
more congenial companion to her
husband in this new sort of partner
ship business. And a much more
delightful mother. Oh, yes, it’s a
family. There are two boys, one sev
enteen, now in the United States air
service tn Hawaii. the other five
years old, and a girl of eleven. Nei

Mrs. Parsons smiled happily.
“Isn’t it odd,” she said, “the girl is
just like me. She’s crazy about farm
ing.”
Industry. The same office is busy
with a giant blackberry from Bogota
and a dry-land elm from China. The
elm has already demonstrated its
usefulness, for it grows well in
regions that are too arid to sup
port other forest growths. A quali
ty which adds to its value is the
ability of this elm to withstand
severe windstorms without injury.
This feature will enable the tree to
grow on the western plains, where
the heavy storms up-root and de
stroy less tough species.

“When I accepted your offer and

laid 221 eggs. I almost quit raising
chickens, but now I will raise as

Give your hens Don Sung and
watch results for one month. If you

Don Sung (Chinese for egg-laying)
is a scientific tonic and conditioner.
It is easily given in the feed, im
proves the hen’s health and makes
her stronger and more active. It tones
up the egg-laying organs, and gets
the eggs, no matter how cold or wet

Business of Farming
Needs System Good as
Any Store or Factory
Greater co-operation between farm
ers and bankers so that ftie business
of producing farm products can be
financed along the same lines as the
business of manufacturing and sell
ing merchandise of all liinds will cut
the cost of food production and In
crease farm profits, asserts George
A. Woodford in an article on “The
Relation of Banking to the Business
of Farming,” in the current, Novem
ber issue of Farm Mechanics mag
azine.
“In the fifty years from 1840 to
1890, the development of farm ma
chinery enabled four men to do the
work that required fourteen.” says
Mr. Woodford. "Today we are faced
with the problem of so equipping
the farms of the nation that one man
can produce as much as the four in
1890 or the fourteen in 1840.
“More than that, we want to re
duce the day’s work of that one man
to a normal length, eliminate the un
necessary drudgery, and afford him
the conveniences and pleasures that
have made city life attractive.
“And still more, we must enable
him to get greater production from
the land that he now farms, for lit
tle new land is available, and the
ever-increasing demands of the na
tion’s population must be taken care
of by better use of the land we now
have.
“Can it be done?
“Certainly—it is being done on
many farms; modern methods' ma
terial and machinery that will ac
complish this are now available.
Tried and proven, they stand, ready
to help the farmer produce bigger
and better crops in less time with
less work ht less expense.
“Farm life without the drudgery,
farm life with all modern conven
iences, fram life that is more at
tractive, interesting and profitable is
within our reach.
‘Present-day methods of farming
with power enable one man in a ten
hour day to plow ten to twelve acres,
cultivate fourteen to twenty, disc,
drill, or harvest thirty-five to forty
acres, and do all other field work
proportionately as fast. They en*
able him’ to do his own shelling and
separating, to fill his silo and handle
other such jobs quickly and econom
ically. They reduce to a minimum—
in fact, on many farms have elim
inated—the expense end work of
feeding and caring for horses.
"Farm lighting plants not only
furnish modern light, but with the
equipment that may be used with
them, remove the drudgery, of milk
ing reparating, churning, washing
and scores of similar tasks, that
‘take the joy out of life’ on the farm.
Yet 79 per cent of the farm homes
still use kerosene lamps.
“Transportation furnished by the
motor truck is rapidly becoming a ne
cessity to the successful farmer; the
automobile brings the city near, with
all the advantages, both of pleasure
and profit, that result.
“Good seed, fertilizer and intelli
gent methods produce 60 bushels of
corn to the acre, while 26 is the pres
ent average; the efficient farmer
raises 25 bushels of wheat where oth
ers grow 15. And in this way one
acre is made to do the work of two,
yet the labor required >s scarcely
increased; in fact, by the use of the
best machinery, is cut in half.

Purity Beddina Factories Dept. 319 .Nashville,
“There are equally great possibili
ties throughout the list of farm prod
ucts. Pure bred live stock, with
proper care and feeding, will bring
more than proportionately increased
returns.
“But you may say all of this costs
money, a great deal of money, and
the average farmer cannot afford to
make use of the advantages offer
ed him. As an investment, they may
all bring a handsome profit, yet if
they cannot be paid for, how can the
investment be ma<je?
“There is one answer that covers
the whole question.
“The farm must be put on a busi
ness basis.
“It business one does not wait for
years until he has saved up enough
to pay for a stock of goods. He goes
to the bank and if his proposition
is sound, he gets the money and uses
it to produce the profits that enable
him to progress rapidly, providing,
of course, that he has the ability to
go with it.
“He doesn’t buy on long term cre’d
it, and pay manufacturers the higher
rate which they must charge for a
service that should be handled by the
local banker.
“The successful business man who
sees an opportunity to make one dol
lar produce two doesn’t pass it up be
cause he does not have the dollar,
nor does he wait until he can save
It. He borrows it, puts it to use,
and in addition to his own gain, the
banker who loans it makes a profit
the community takes a step forward
and the nation progresses.
“When extensive tests have clear
ly proveh, as tn some localities, that
four dollars’ worth of fertilizer will
increase the yield of an acre of wheat
ten to twelve dollars, why lose the
added profit because one does not
have the four dollars in cash. When
farmtng-with-power units have prov
en their ability to pay for themselves
often in one year, why do without
them just because the cash is not
on hand to pay for them? Under
such a policy one is likely never to
have the money.
“The man who puts his farm on a
business basis, who studies the possi
bilities before him, and plans to
make the most of them, who will
learn that business thoroughly and
intelligently present the banker with
the opporttmity to work with him
in the development of his farm and
the community, will get the cash
and the co-operation of the real bank
er."
Sunflowers as Silage
Sunflowers are being extensively
grown for silage in parts of Oregon,
Washington, Idaho and Montana
where climatic conditions are such
as to make corn growing for silage
uncertain. Sunflowers yield as high
as seven or eight tons to the acre,
and when cut green for silage have
not developed enough wood in the
stalks to seriously impair their use
for cattle feed. Growing of sunflow
ers is being encouraged by the coun
ty agents, and extensive tests of the
action of silage on sunflowers are
being made at the United States de
partment experiment station at Red
field, S. D.
