THE HAY PROBLEM
MUST Be SOLVED
Feed for Stock Will Be Very
High-Quick Hay Crops
Demanded.

Harking back to drought year talk,
the writer mas the opinion expressed
that hay will go to $50 a ton the
coming winter. This may be some
what OF an eNaggeration, but there
can be no doubt of the fact that oil
manner of stock feed, especially hay,
is going to be very high In view of
this fact, many people are going TO
sell off all the cattle and horses they
can possibly spare. This may mean
that stock will be cheap. and the
dairymen who need cows and anybody
who must have horses Will have an
inning
The thing the average farmer and
stock raiser wants to do Is to pre-
care for the quickest hay crop that
can possibly be made. Professor Mas

TWO very interesting phases of de-
Veiopment OF town building and small
farm enterprises as an outcome or
large landed operations are found in
some facts recently published in the
Manufacturers Record regarding the
proposed farm-town scheme to be es-
| tablished by the Kent-Jordan Company
OF Greensboro. N. C., and the Baldwin
Lumber Company, of Baldwin. La. The
former company recently purchased
about $4,000 acres OF land in North
Carolina for colonization, one of the
| members Of the company being Hon
William Kent. a member OF Congress
from California and reputed to be a
4, very wealthy man. This company an
| nounced will lay out a 20o-acre tract
| into small farms really into e farm
town plan, where every house will be
provided with water. electric lights
| sewerage system, etc.
This scheme of giving to small farm
| ers the facilities OF modern cities in the
way OF water. electricity and sewer
age system is to be carried out on a
somewhat broader scale, it seems, by
the Baldwin Lumber Company, OF
Louisiana. That company. in giving
some details. regarding Its proposed
utilization OF a 9,000-acre tract of land,
writes the Record as follows
AS the land is cleared we will open
up small farms of from 100 to 200
arpents. tFrench acres). and upon each
of these farms we will build modern
homes. We expect to light these homes
by electricity. which will be furnish ed
from our power plant by wires follow
Ing our railroad. We will. in due time,
install motor line for our patrons
and the electricity will enable the
farmers to pump water and light their
| homes and barns. and have every other
convenience around the home
Commenting on these two big
schemes. the editor of the Record says:
When the farmers of the South are
provided with facilities Of this kind,
agriculture In this section will become
one OF the most inviting pursuits in
the world. The North Carolina enter
! prise seems to look to starting small
farm town site, with each home hay-
| ing a limited area OF land for cultiva-
ton, but each home being supplied With
water, electricity and a sewerage sys-
tenn. while the Louisiana undertaking
is for the establishment of farms OF
ample size. provided with electricity
for power and light purposes, and with
motor line for the use of the buy
ers of these farms"
These enterprises are but suggestive
OF many things that are being worked
| out throughout the South for the bene-
MT of the agricultural interest of this
section. making certain that Southern
| farmers will in time not only have to
their credit an unequaled all the-year-
| round climate and fertile soil. but ad-
vantages for homemaking which can
now only be found in cities

Armour Closes Missouri Plants;
to Quit State.
jefferson City, NO., Feb. 17.-The
Armour Packing Company, New
Jersey corporation with capital stock
of 81, 500, 900, to-day filed notice with
the Secretary of State that it had
ceased it's operations in the State of
Missouri, through a resolution adopt
ed by its Board of Directors January
16, 1911.
! The notice of withdrawal was signed
/ by Charles w. Armour, as president
of the company, and James w. Muir
ray, secretary. II was certified to be-
fore Kansas City notary public Feb
ruary 10, 1911, but was not mailed
until last night.
No statement accompanied the
formal document, save a copy OF the
resolution. This stated that the Board
of Directors at the meeting referred
to, determined to completely with
draw from Missouri and to revoke
the authority formerly conferred up
on M. E. Linville, at St. Joseph, to
act as agent for the company in the
State.
Attorney General Major said the
withdrawal of this company from the
State would not have any effect upon
the suit he has lodged against it in
the Supreme Court on an information
charging this and other companies
with violating the antitrust laws.
These suits are pending in the Su-
preme Court and will be pushed
through to a conclusion, General
Major says, even if every one Of the
foreign packers operating in Missouri
under license should withdraw.
The Attorney General said he would
not permit the Armour company to
withdraw from Missouri during the
tendency of the custer suit against
the Beef Trust. He said he would
advise Secretary of State Roach to-
not to file the notice of with
drawal.
