FARM NEWS
Clipped From the Brookfield 6azette
Exchanges.

An Audrain county farmer was
recently badly disappointed in re-
ceiving only 1925 for a turkey that
he had felt very sure was a $40
turkey. 1t weighed only forty-six
pounds and he has arrived at the
conclusion that in future he will
raise only fifty pound turkeys.
An Audrain county farmer, T.
W. Stowell last week slowed away
$115.12 hard cash, the proceeds of
the sale of four hogs. That amount
would have paid for forty acres of
bottom land not so very many
years ago.
Jesse White, of Lees Summit,
15-year-old boy, has a dairy of his
own consisting of four cows, with
all the milk customers he can sup
ply, and in addition to that, it is
said to his credit, that he is no way
connected with the creamery trust.
An old citizen of Monroe county,
who recently sold his farm with the
intention to make new home in an
other state, after mature delibera-
ton on the evidence adduced, came
to the sensible conclusion that Mis-
souri, was good enough for him
was good enough for anybody. And
he good busy and bought that farm
back.
A Pike county man harvested
seventy bushels of corn to the acre

boy, who husked and cribbed III
