THE VALUE or THE DAIRY COW
AND THE HOG IN A SYSTEM
OF SUCCESSFUL AGRl-
CULTURE.
BY CHRIS GURSlEE.
Graduate Of State COLLEGE,, 1911;

Graduate Of State College, 1918.
AS We look over the history of our
country we find that the early settlers.
as homesteaders or pioneers.
had very little use for the dairy COW
or the hog. their idea being rather to
engage in extensive farming of grain
crops; not only because they could put
their crop In in the spring and then
break e. land, but also on account
of the market conditions in a pioneer
country. First ome the settler, then
the railroads and towns. During all
this time the farmers raise large
crops of small grain, often raising the
same kind of grain on the same field
year after year without paying any
attention to the rotation of crops.
which We find is SO necessary in a sys.
tenn of permanent agriculture.
The farmer continues in the same
way for several years and finds that
he Is gradually getting smaller yields
and poorer qualities Of grain. He
blames the country, the soil, climate,
and everything imaginable, while the

out putting any back. He finds that
he must either change his system OF
farming or else go to "greener pas.
lures" where he can go through the
same operations that he has practiced
in his present locality. But this farm
will not lie idle-someone is going to
make use of it. May it be the present
farmer or someone else, it is up to
him to return some plant food to the
soil or be satisfied with low yields
and poor quality of grain.
Experience has probably taught him
that applying manure to the soil pro-
duces a higher yield. He now turns
to an animal that can produce such q
fertility. In the meantime co.opera.
tive creameries and cheese factories
have probably been organized and he
naturally turns to the dairy COW as a
means for double profit, she being able
to bring him an income the year
around. He begins to raise and other
cultivated crops and naturally prac.
tices rotation of crops to some extent.
He finds that It is more profitable to
feed the grain to his stock than to
sell it direct. The steers are fed corn
and other grains, and here is where
the hog is used to good advantage in
picking over the droppings from
steers, the largest per cent of pork in
the corn states being produced this
way. The farmer now sees that it is
more profitable to feed all his grain
to his cattle and hogs and in this way
get as high as SO to Is cents per bush.
Ell for his corn, other grains in propor
ton.
At the same time he is keeping up
the fertility Of the soil by applying all
the manure produced; besides all this
he gets a nice check from the ream.

economically. the labor being distrib.

AGRICULTURAL STULENTS AZ
FARMERS.

The extent to which the graduates
" the agricultural colleges engage in
farming has been a matter of frequent
discussion eve since the colleges
were established, and has sometimes
been taken as a measure Of the sue
cess of these institutions. Some re-
cent studies give a definite basis for
considering this subject, and also
,oint to an increasing tendency to
take up farming which has been APP
parent for some time to those in close
touch with the work of the colleges.
AS this tendency Is in accord with pop
nlar expectations. It IS deserving Of
notice, along with the broader concep.
ton of what the colleges should do
for the industry as a whole and for
education.
Many reasons have been advanced
to account for the larger percentage
OF agricultural college graduates who
now take up agricultural occupations,
but all OF these reasons are quite close.
ly related to the fact that agriculture
is better paid than a few years ago.

commanding a high order of ability
has materially increased. It offers a
large opportunity, which is more
broadly appreciated. Among the fac
tors which have contributed to the
better status of agriculture are a bet
ter understanding of the scientific
problems of the farm, better living
conditions on the farm, better means
Of communication in the country, bet
ter labor saving machinery, and bet
ter salaries for those engaged in pro-
noting agricultural interests as teach
ers. Investigators, extension workers.
editors, or In other ways.
That the agricultural colleges and
experiment stations and the Depart
ment Of Agriculture have had a large
share in bringing about improved con
ditions goes without saying. The In.
yestigations OF these institutions
have put farming OF a better paying
and more permanent basis. and thanks
to their teachings, It is no longer GUS
tomary for the intelligent farmer to
yield ground to the grasshopper, the
army worm, the brown rot, and other
pests OF his fields and flocks. Instead,
he fights these invaders with the weap-
Ons that science has put into his
hands, and for his pains secures bet
ter crops and higher prices than his
careless or ignorant neighbors.
It does not take young men long to
zee the advantage to be secured by
up-to-date practices in growing, har-
yesting, and marketing their crops.
nor do they hesitate long to adopt tel
ephones, new machinery. or other ap-
pliances that will save time or In
crease their W efficiency. The re.
suit is that the younger generation OF
farmers Is being recruited from the
brightest and best educated OF our
young men, particularly from the
graduates Of the agricultural COLLEGES
and that these recruits are rapidly
putting into practice everything worth
while from the researches OF our as
ricultural institutions.
These young men are taking up
farming with their eyes open. They
realize that the farmers OF the future
will have to meet much sharper com
petition and be content to cultivate
