he tried to beat the Chicago board of

neighbors gradually took up the idea,
and today they get rich returns for
their trouble.
Talking with an Iowa butcher, in
answer to the question, why the con-
sumption of mutton is not larger in
our Iowa towns, the reply was: first,
the high price compared with few
years ago, is one reason, but the real
explanation is that Iowa people do
not like mutton. They will pay he
higher prices for beef and pork. but
any other kind of fresh meat when
advanced in price they let alone. l
buy my meat of the packing houses
and occasionally order some mutton,
but 1t is hard work to get rid of it.
The hotels viii only buy Il limited
amount, because their guests Will not
order it. It's beef and beef steak all
OF the time. What would suit my
trade the best would be an animal bred
50 that it would all cut up into beef
steak.
A Fonda butcher has added one de-
partment to his business that others
may find profitable. He operates a
machine that grinds UP all of the bores
and trimmings accumulated in the
market, into chicken feed, and he finds
ready sale for all he can furnish at
two and half cents per pound. Chick
en- raisers lind in 1t a food that brings
better results than any of the numer-
Gus foods offered for laying and flesh
producing purposes, while the butcher
finds that to realize 2la cents per
pound for something formerly wasted,
adds materially to his profits at the
end of the year.
Monona county farmers have sown a
large number of acres of winter wheat,
and are very much interested to know
how it has "wintered." This winter
wheat raising commenced in very
small way few years ago, In ten and
twenty acre lots, but 1t has paid 50
well that one man near Whiting has
this year four hundred acres of winter
wheat. Winter wheat raising has this
advantage, that by corn planting time,
if the wheat has apparently killed out
the land can be used for corn. and
the loss is only the expense of the seed
wheat and replowing of the land.

SMALLER FARMS TO COME. Z
lHampton Chronicle.)


Franklin county farms must sooner
or later be subdivided and more thick
ly peopled. The time is fast approach
ing when our farm land must be cut
into smaller pieces and the soil must be
made to produce five to ten times the
income 1T is now doing. Twenty years
ago when land was worth twenty-five
dollars an acre it was enough that fifty
bushels Of corn was produced from one
acre Now with the great increase in
value of Franklin county lands they
are not producing any more. The land
owner gets but enough out of his rent
to keep the farm in repair and pay the
taxes. His only revenue is in the in
crease of the land Farms worth $500
per acre rent for three dollars. Neces-
sity will demand that, this farm must
bring its owner five times that anoui1.
and corn and oats will not do it. The

1t possesses more significance than a
merely fractional victory. There are

could have been the occasion for no
just criticism. The effects of the off,

WILL THE SMALL TOWNS SUFFER
MT Nernnn Record


The Mechanicsville Pioneer Press
AYERS that bill fixing the limit of
profit made by grocerymen, dry goods
dealers lawyers and doctors would
hardly be as popular as the two-cent
rate bill. and is disposed to prophesy
the failure of many small business corr
Germs within two years following the
adoption of cheap railway travel. The
Press argues that the cheaper rate will
put the large markets within the reach
of the country at moderate cost.
The argument at first shot appears
plausible. and yet this paper is still of
the belief that in the development of
the next decade the country and small
town is not to suffer from the cities.
Nature has an irrepressible way of ev-
ening up, and the small towns as surely
have their advantages for business
pursuits as have the cities.

HYBRID VARIETY OF WHEAT.
Washington S. A. G. Claims to Origi-
nate q Species.

The state college experiment sta
ton of Washington, now believes It
has succeeded in combining bluestem
and Turkey red wheat into a hybrid
variety which can be grown with su-
perior results in the wheat raising dis
tricts of Washington, says the Pullman
Tribune. This experiment was begun
in 1903. and the purpose in view was
to grow winter wheat, which would
lack the boards Of the Turkey red,
but possess its attractive qualities as
winter wheat. Bluestem being val
liable as a winter wheat, but not well
adapted for fall sowing, was crossed
with the Turkey red.
The result of a cross produces what
Ia known as a hybrid" the term
simply meaning a union between two
flowers OF plants not Of the same va
rety. In all work of this nature, no
definite results are obtainable until
the second generation, or, during the
second years growth after the cross
has been made. Since the first cross
was made in 1908, each year the sta
tlon staff has selected the plants that
possessed the characteristics Of the
desired hybrid. Thirteen perfect plants
were obtained from the cross in 1903,

The hybrid is peculiar in Its inter-
mixing of the qualities of bluestem

favors the bluestem, but the leaf
formation is much like that of the
Turkey red. For this reason Prof.

ment, is not absolutely sure that the

FROM THE IDAHO BEET FIELDS.
Relating to Acreage, Labor Problems
and Prospects.


II. w. Sheffield. field manager for
the Western Sugar company, owning
Statesman reporter that there are 500
acres of beets growing tributary to
Nyssa. 354 acres around Arcadia and
400 acres under the Owyhee canal
which covers the lower branch from
above Nyssa to ontario. In other
words. the 400 hundred acres makes
up the area of beet tributary to Nyssa,
Arcadia and ontario. The entire beet
area this season whose product will
go to the Nampa factory aggregates
1000 acres. Mr.. Sheffield estimates
that while some fields will yield 20
tons of beets to the acre, the average
will reach IS tons, which is high
average. The production of $4,000
tons OF beets is sufficient to keep the
Nampa plant in operation for a pc
riod Of four months, which is consid-
cred long run.
It seems a well settled fact that the
same company will erect sugar
plant at Payette in time for It to get
action on next seasons crop. This
will call for an Increase OF at least
1000 acres of beets within the terri
tory extending from welser to Cald-
well. That this requisite acreage can
be guaranteed there seems to be no
shadow of a doubt.
Mr.. Sheffield states that the con-
dition of the beet fields is satisfac-
tory; that the thinning has all been
done and the first hoeing and part
Of the second have been accomplish
cd. The practice here is to thin down
to one beet in place. IL inches apart,
and cultivate four or five times in the
season.
| While japanese laborers seem to
be the main dependence In the beet
fields there are growing numbers of
Americans and Hollanders who take
contract work in beet growing and
1t is conceded that they do better
work than the Orientals, the lated be-
ing a little inclined to slight their
work. The contract price for plant
ing, thinning, cultivating, topping and
loading them in wagons is $50 per
acre. Some OF the Japaneses rent
ground and raise beets, paying $40
per acre cash rent. The largest indi-
yidual beet field is that OF John Ward,
near Nyssa, who has 100 ceres in
beets, in the hands of japanese ten
ants, who pay rental of $50 per acre
and In addition pay the water tax.
Where contracts are made to grow a
crop of beets at $40 per acre bonus
Is paid In addition to this Of so cents
per ton for all above 12 tons to the
acre.
Mr.. Sheffield Is Of the opinion that
eventually beet farms will be reduced
to an average acreage Of about 40
acres each and that farmers and
members Of their families will largely
do their own work in connection with
beet production.
