System 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 Instead of 3 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.

I>. packages some times take longer in the Post Office. 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. Champion Woman Farmer Drives Her Own Plow and Dearly Loves Her Calling W I ' r. ,•»« > i 4" ' I ft f J 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 ent items displayed and be sure that 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 ther of the boys care particularly for farming But the girl 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. 11 Hensldle;NowLay 221 Eggs A Almost Gave Up Kalsing Chickens.

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. ®K||Sg:siH©s. g Thousands of hog raisers state D that by feeding their hogs a few g H cents’ worth of Wilbur’s Hog Tonic they get them ready for market in from g a 45 to 60 days less time and on less feed.

Free 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.
