ncheap Crops Gone Forever

H. j. Waters, president, in his talk
on THE Essentials OF Rural Progress"
before the farmers at the Johnson
county "round.upY censured the farm
ers for not tilling their land more
thoroughly and intimated that they
were loafing on their job of feeding
the people Of the country. He said,
however, that the high cost of living
was not new proposition to the hu
man race, but was as old as the race
itself He prophesied that the cost Of
food products as they were twenty
years ago had gone never to return.
1t was his opinion that intensive farm
ing was not the cure for the high cost
of food products. He favored the in
telligent use of labor saving machin-
cry instead. He made plea that the
government furnish a safe and ade-
quate means Of supplying money to
the agriculturist at cheap rate OF
interest.

pemonstrates WIEN an Auaur.

w. A. Boys, farm demonstration
agent at Hays, uses an augur to show
farmers the proper methods of mois-
ture conservation. Armed with this
instrument he goes into the fields that
have received different treatment. In
one such test 1T was learned that the
water, which had fallen recently, had
not penetrated more than eight inches
deep in stubble ground, while on stub
BILE that had been disked Immediately
after harvest the moisture had reached
a depth OF eighteen inches In corn
stubble land the moisture had soaked
twenty-four to thirty-six inches in the
ground, while on potato ground that
had been kept clean and well worked
the water had penetrated thirty-six to
sixty inches. Mr.. Boys believes that
this simple demonstration is one oil
the most effective ways to teach mois'
ture conservation by early preparation
of the land.

those who have given the matter con-
siderable attention to select by type.
There has been no general agreement
as to- what the egg type is. How,
then, is the farmer to select the
layers and eliminate the loafers.
In the first place, 1t goes almost
without saying, that in order to stand
up under the strain of heavy produc-
ton hen must have a good constitu-
ton. A dozen eggs should weigh a
pound and a half In some states
the weight is set by law. A hen that
lays twelve dozen eggs has to eat
enough food, grind. digest and assim-
ilate it to make three times her own
weight in eggs. While a good many
points may be taken as indicating
good constitutions, the hens comb is
her health certificate. 1t should be
well developed and fiery red. No
one ever saw hen that was helping
to fill the egg basket that wore pale
and shrunken comb The beak should

bright and prominent. Anything APP
preaching a Grow head" should be
looked upon with suspicion. The big
layer generally has a long body that
is deep in front and deeper yet be-
hind. This is natural, for the eggs
are manufactured in the back part OF
the body and the hen that has several
eggs growing at once needs the room.
At the same time your healthy, vigor-
Gus layer is going to have her toe
nails worn off nearly down to the
quick, because when she isn't on the
nest she is hustling for something out
of which to make more eggs. Right
in this same connection you can put
it down that the two or three hens
that are still scratching around after
the sun has gone down and all the
others hens are on the roost, are the
ones that will give the largest records
If you but go to the trouble Of trap
nesting. They are in constant need
of raw material to make the finished
product, eggs.
1t is equally true that the hens that
sit around all day or go to roost early
are the ones that are keeping your
states average production so low.
When a hen lays an egg she repro
duces herself. A hen will reproduce
herself most when she is happy and
contented. When she is happy AND
contented she will sing There's more
truth than poetry in saying that the
singing hen is the laying hen.
It's just common every day hen
sense. The reason Pt the bottom OF
the average egg production Of the
United States being far below 100
eggs is not that she has SO few good
layers. She has lots Of them. The
trouble is that she has a lot Of crow
headed, dull eyed, shrunken, pale
combed, short, shallow bodied, long
clawed individuals sitting around do
ing nothing that should have been
turned over to the local produce

selection is being carefully carried on.
The breeders of cattle and swine have
for years been improving their stock
so as to meet the needs of the con-
sumers. The dairy man daily weighs
the milk of each individual COW to de-
termine which cows are returning a
profit and which are failing to pay
their board. But the farm hen is
going unnoticed. Every farm has
hens, of course. The last census
showed that a larger percentage of
farms reported hens than any other
class of live, stock, not excluding
horses. Yet who has seriously con-
sidered the selection of an egg type
or meat type in fowls. The time
has been when a chicken was a
chicken and sold for quarter, good,
bad and Indifferent But times are
changing and the good hen is coming
to her own.
There are several difficulties that
surround the selection OF high produc-
ing hens. The individuals are small.
Their production, compared with cows,
for instance, is also small. The stand
ard profit per year per hen is some
where around dollar. One cannot
spend a great deal of time on each
individual hen. So that from gen.
eral farmers standpoint, trapnests,
the one accurate way of getting at the
big layers, are out of the question.
The fact that the individuals are so
small also makes 1t difficult for even
