MAKING 500 LAND PAY.

When Henry Wallace had finished hi
Address upon How to Make Slo0 Ian,
Pay" at a Marshall county farmers in.
stttute this week, venerable farmer
now retired and living in town. arose
to ask If it We're not true that this $10t
land had been inflated in price unit
1t would not yield an owner fair re-
turn on his investment The questionel
argued that, while farmers had appar-
emily traded jack knives until they had
made themselves rich, in reality their
lands had risen in speeula tive values
TO such figures that they could not af-
ford to keep them for farming pur-
poses.
The question at the time was not
fully answered but it would seem that
an argument would hardly find room
upon which to stand. From the stand
point of the retired farmer who has
moved to town and expects a renter
to earn him good income on the value
Of his farm. the price of land has I'M
doubtedly gone too high. 1t is almost
Impossible, today, to get five per cent
net from land worth 500 per acre if
one rents it to a tenant. High priced
hand under this system is a poor invest
nent excep. that It is safe and may in
creasc Mortgages on the land at s. y
per cent would bring far better re-
turns.
But O man who had followed Henry
Wallace's discourse attentively or who
had done some hard thinking on the
subject for himself could see that land
would not bring 500 per acre on the
market unless somebody was ready to
pay the price for it and if al,y consid-
cradle number of farmers would pay
500 per acre for land it must follow
that the land was actually worth that
much to them. The facts are that land
can easily be worth 500 per acre to the
intelligent, expert farmer who will lnbve

an Investment of $4,000 or more in
livestock and apply to the farm scien-
tific methods under his own careful,
personal supervision. These are the
men who can and do make 500 land
pay. while ilhe same land owned by the
retired farmer in town and farmed by |

Points For Hog Breeders.

1t is obvious that 1t would make far
too long an article to attempt to treat
of all or even number of the com
mon worms infesting hogs, hence this
article will be limited to brief
discussion of only a few Of them.
First those worms causing verrnin-
Gus bronchitis in swine are lung worms
technically termed strongylus paradox
US.
They are small worms about one
half to one and one quarter of an inch
in length. The male being the smaller,
both male and female either Of white
or brownish color and the tail rather
curved and pointed These lung
worms of the hog closely resemble
in life history those worms of the air
passages of the sheep and calf.
The disease manifests itself in about
the same manner and causes much the
same disturbances as are found in the
sheep and calf when these particular
animals are infested with their particu-
lar lung worms.
The egg must be throwrl out of the
air passages and develop outside the
body. For its best development the
egg should be deposited in moist
place, hence marshy or low pastures
are more frequently infested than high
dry pasture lands. AS soon as the
egg has developed into a mature or
adult worm it is again ready to
take UP it's life in some animals air
passages.
The symptoms seen in hog suffer-
Ing from these worms in the bronchi
and lungs are familiar to most farmers
and stockmen.
A general unthriftiness Is noticed to-
gether with paroxysns of coughing
which appear to almost suffocate the
animals. The cough may cause more
or less frothing at the mouth and at
times some of the worms may be found
