MILESTONE ABOUT
THE PARTY'S NECK

NV. ]. Bryan in The Commoner.
The Democrats of the nation have
an issue to face, and they may as well
prepare for it. The liquor interests
are at bay; they are on the defensive.
They realize that they have but few
more years in which to fatten upon
the woes of their victims, but they
are fighting desperately and are will
ing to hold any party between them
and the fire. The democratic party
cannot afford to shield the brewery
the distillery and the saloon from
the rising wrath of determined peo-
pie. Democracy is the nations
hope on political and economic ques-
tions-let it not, by taking sides
with the liquor interests, repel those
who put moral issues first. The
young men of the country are demo-
cratic by nature, but they will not
submit their claims to political pre-
fermcnt to those who conspire
against the home and everything
good-neither will they find pot
house politicians congenial party as
sociates. The president has set a
high standard in intelligence and
morals, and the party cannot afford
to lower the colors to gain temper
airy advantage. Those upon whose
support depends upon subservience
to the liquor interests disgrace the
party while they are with it, and then
leave it if it refuses to obey them.
They are milestone about the party's
neck. The democratic party is the
party of the future-it has a chance
to enter the Promised Land-why all
low the liquor interests to lead it
away into the wilderness? Get ready
for the fight.

CORN AND OATS AS FEED

A comparison of the value of oats and
corn as feed for work horses is reported
in Ohio Agricultural Experiment Bulle-
tin No. 1876 The popular opinion that
oats makes better feed than does corn is
not substantiated by the data presented
in the above mentioned bulletin. In fact,
the data SENS to show that the exclusive
use of ear corn as the grain feed for work
horses for eight weeks was not detri-
mental to the health of the horse, that
the corn did not induce laziness or lack
of endurance; on the other hand oats did
not increase the Endurance or the spirit
of the horses. Pound for pound corn has
in years past been the cheaper feed.
FARM FOR SALE
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1914-11-27

The following is the report of yields il
the junior corn growing contest in Mer.
cel County, as given out by the State
Agricultural Commission, together with
other matters bearing on the contest:
Those who cut their corn before husk-
ing or who have not sent US Information
Blank No. 1. cannot be considered, as far
as we are concerned, because if corn was
cut, referees could not make oath that
all of the husked corn had been grown
within the bounds of the one-acre plot.
The No. blank we need for our rec
ords, to show what the boys did to raise
the corn. The other Irregularities are
only technical and will not cut any figure.
Clarence Gehm, Liberty township,
yield, 136.6O7; cost production. 11.53.
Gusta Bauer, Liberty, yield, 1O1,145;
cost production, 11.54
Irwin Dammeyer, Franklin, yield, SO O4S;
cost production, 32.19; deduct for excess
siYe cost. 4.
Leander Desch, Marion, yield. S6.S57;
cost production, 1888,
Mark b. Gottemoeller, Marion, YIELD
s4.92S; cost production, 1885; deduct for
excessive cost, PIP.
Clyde Boley, Washington, yield, 77.175;
cost of production, 3812; deduct for ex-
cessive cost, z.
AS rules in Junior corn growing contest
say that whoever followed all rules and
raised the most corn at least cost would
be declared the winner. we have decided
on the following:
500 will be basisI If cost was 500 or less,
it will not be taken into consideration;
from 500 to $2s we deduct one-fourth of
a bushel for every dollar over $50; over
$2S we deduct one-half bushel for every
dollar over $28.
500 with the credit of 81 for manure
and SO for fertilizer allowed. should be
sufficient to grow an acre of corn.
OF course, those who used an unneces-
sary amount of manure or fertilizer, run
their cost up way beyond these figures.
We are trying to discourage Improbable
corn raising among the boys
Too many of the boys seem to think
that If a reasonable amount of manure
and fertilizer was good, an excessive
amount was better.
The contrary was proven true in last
years contest, which showed that nine
loads of manure per acre averaged more
corn than twelve or more loads
Cost was figured viz: 1914 cents per
hour for the contestants work, 10 cents
per hour for each horse and cents per
cubic foot for manure-commerc ferti-
lizer at actual cost

LOSSES IN MANURE

Careful experiments show that the fer
| tilizing value of manure produced by do
mestic anima9s are about as follows
Horses $27, cattle 20. hogs $S, and sheep
50. This would make the fertilizing val
ue of the manure produced on the forms
of Ohio $93,717,OO0 Other careful exper-
iments have shown that approximately
one-half of the fertilizing value of ma
ure is lost if allowed to leach for three
months.
1t is possible that the farmers Of Ohio
are wasting something like $50, 900, 900
worth Of manure annually.
If the values mentioned above are ap-
proximately correct, what is the value
of the manure produced on your farm?
Ho wmuch of this value is lost?t
How may the loss be largely preventedP ?
The College of Agriculture is always
willing to assist YOU in planning a saw
ing In any farm leaks.
