Enormous Profits Between
the Farm and the Table

year was so cents a dozen. The aver
age price paid to the farmers in the
states of Arkansas and Missouri for
eggs was .15 cents dozen. The rail-
road charge for the 1900 mile haul was
cents a dozen, including breakage,
which the government estimates at 10
per cent. The men who receive the
eggs in New York in the morning and
deliver them during the day take Is
cents dozen profit, equal to 43 per
cent.
Dhe farmer works to produce the
food, the consumer works to pay for
it, the dealer, under organized methods
takes the lions share of the profits.
1t is through organization Of the pro-
ducers working closely with the trans
porters, that food stuff can be placed
on the table Of the consumer at a fair
price.
Every banker, and every merchant
in every community should aid the
farmers in finding a way to handle
their produce with the greatest profit
and in helping to increase the supply
and demand by cheapening the cost to
the consumer.
The rice farmers OF Texas. Louisi-
ana and Arkansas cannot sell their
rice for more than 21s cents a pound.
The consumer in New York is paying
10 cents pound for rice. 1t costs to
transport rice from Texas. Louisiana
and Arkansas to New York y cent a
pound. If the rice farmer was paid
3@ cents pound and the dealer re-
ceived ! cent a pound. which is 25 per
cent profit. rice could be sold in New
York at 20 pounds for dollar. What
am trying to make clear is that the
rice farmer could receive cent a
pound more for his rice and the con-
sumner could get twice as much for the

Voltaire Farmers Are a Live,
Independent Bunch Of HustIers

Voltaire, N. d., Dec. THE Farm
ers institute held at voltaire on Mon
day brought out number of uniaue
things. The hall in which the meeting
was held is owned by the farmers, and
was built by them. They also own the
telephone line, an elevator and the
tewnsite and run their own Fire In
surance Co.
The meeting was conducted by SUI
perintendent Hoverstad who was as
sisted by f. H. Pierce. assistant dairy
commissioner; w. r. Porter. superin-
tendent Of demonstration farms and
w G. Palmer, agricultural editor of
the agricultural college.
II was learned that several of the
farmers had raised fine crops of corn
this year corn that had matured
enough so as to be all right for seed.
That Is a fine demonstration OF what
can be done in an adverse season. Late
frosts. dry weather. and early frost.
This is test that certainly demon
strates what can be done with corn
here.
Professor Palmer then took UP a dis
cussion of the corn crop. He stated
that the Indians grew corn even fur
Their north than here and that it is
the same corn that we are growing
today. that has been improved. Fall
blowing was recommended, narrowing
early in the spring to warm it up so
as to warm UP the soil to let the weeds
terminate, harrow a couple OF times,
then disc thoroughly before planting.
This will kill the weeds that have
started. On spring blowing there are
more weeds to kill in the corn. Har-
row as soon as the corn Is planted.
and harrow at intervals OF every ten
days till the corn is for or FIVE inches
high. Then cultivate, and shallow as
the roots go quite near the surface.
Whether the corn is to be used for
fodder, for ensilage or for the ears it
should be allowed to get almost ripe
before cutting as it increases in food
value till it is ripe He thought the
most valuable thing about the corn
crop for the present was the good eff
feet that it has in preparing the soil
for crop of grain
Keep an account with the COWS as
to the feed fed and as to the milk given
was the burden of talk by Mr.. Pierce.
He related how he had assisted in
up on herds and it was found
that there could be considerable saw
ing by feeding the COW in proportion
to the feed given. One pound of feed
to three pounds of feed was the ratio
given. The warming of the water will
enable the cows to drink more and thus
to increase the milk f1ow The cows
should not be worried by dogs; this is

| one of the causes that frequently re-
duces the milk flow
Professor Hoverstad discussed the
silo, or making sauer kraut for the
cows. He discussed the merits of this
way of curing feed for the cow A
silo is feet in diameter and 80 feet
high will hold 1875 tons and will cost
| from $3.50 to $500 and it requires a
cutter to put the ensilage into It and
an engine to drive the cutter When
putting it into the silo IL should be
tramped he suggested that it would
be a good job for big chunk of a lazy
fellow as it would keep him moving to
keep from being covered up. When
asked as to whether the COWS would
eat it at FIRST said that they would as
far as he had tried, but that If they
would not he thought that they would
be like the pigs that were being fed
new kind of feed that the farmer
pulled their ears off getting them TO
it and then pulled their tails off trying
to get them away from it. Freezing
will not hurt the ensilage. When II
thaws out it seems to be as good as
ever. If the corn is frosted before put
ting into the silo that does not seem
to hurt it. either.
Superintendent Porter, In his talk on
rotation, brought out the increase in
yield that he had secured on the dem
onstration farms by rotating the crops.
The fields that had been in the rotation
for three years gave an average Of
26h bushels last year; those that had
been rotated two years. 22A bushels
the first year, while the average for the
state was 13 bushels. This year the
average on the demonstration farms
was s bushels. while the average of the
state was but Ar The rotation that
is practiced is corn followed by two
crops of wheat followed by a crop of
timothy and clover when he can get
a stand. When it fails he puts in peas
and oats then grain crop and back to
corn again. He manures the corn
crop For a half section farm this
would mean so acres of corn, $50 acres
Of grain-wheat oats or barley-and
so acres of clover and timothy or peas
and oats, in case the other failed, leav-
ing 20 acres for the farmstead.

In spite of the snow and cold the at
