FARMER CONSIDERED A Joke
Man. Formerly Called "Hayseed' Now
Better Informed on Public Mat
ters Than City Man.

tBy HERBERT C. LcNG. Colorado Ag-
ricultural College. Fort Collins. Coio)
There was time when the farmer
was considered Joke, and was called
a rustic" in literary language, and
in popular language. a ''hayseed."
There was of course some cause for
this. The farmer was really ignorant
OF many things which were matters OF
ordinary information to many city
people. But the obnoxious terms are
rapidly going out of use because the
group to whom they may be applied Is
continually growing smaller.
Nowadays it is not difficult to find a
farmer who is better informed on mat
ters of public interest than is the av-
erage city man. The boundaries of his
farm no longer constitute his horizon.
He takes very lively interest in the
world about him. And really there
Is no excuse for the average farmer
remaining longer rustic or hay
seed. Modern postal service makes
connection with the world at large
easy. Modern printing business makes
information on all subjects and the
products of the best minds easily
available.
The modern farmer can purchase
such periodicals and books as will en-
able him to make his business a bet
ter success, and he can subscribe to
papers and magazines which will keep
him just as well informed on all mat
tiers of public interest as any city
man.
There is no reason why a man who
follows agriculture as business
should not have Just as much in
fluence in state and national affairs
as the city man, and there are some
reasons why he should have more In
nuence.

them.
Everyone is more or less proud OF

the height OF inconsistency Is personi.

at the same time deliberately do those
things that tend to retard the develop

Those people who proudly boast OF
the advantages offered by their home
towns as desirable places in which to
live and then refuse to extend local
merchants their patronage are as ridi.
culous as the restaurant proprietor
who eats "out"
II may be fact that your local
stores are not as large or as hand
somely equipped as some OF the big
city stores, but you will agree with
me that your merchants cannot pos.

ness beyond the extent justified by the
amount of patronage accorded them.
II you are interested In bringing
about better local shopping facilities
II Is squarely up to you and other resi-.
dents Of your community to patronize
home merchants, thus keeping your
money at home in so far as possible
where II will circulate In various chan.
nels for the improvement of the com.

There are only two possible reasons
why persons should remain In any GER

demand it or they simply like to tive
there. Isn't this true In your case?
In either event 1t is to your dis.

crop. 1t is worth baled all the way
from 81 to Sc a ton.
My dwelling and barn are located on
ground much higher than the field on
which the straw stack stands and on
which the wheat crop was grown.
Threshing the wheat and stacking the
straw on the lower ground saved haul
ing it up steep grade to the barn and
stock lots. An open straw shelter and
fenced lot have been built for calves
and colts for the winter months. They
communicate with large pasture in
which the animals Craze practically
all the year. The calves and colts
can come to the lot and shelter when
ever they desire to do so. When the
ground is covered with snow they are
confined In the lot about the straw
stack all the time, being watered and
given extra feed besides the straw.
The shelter is well covered with
straw and has three tight pole and
straw sides, making it thoroughly com.
Portable in cold and stormy weather.
Although there is room In the barn for
all the animals this calf and colt shell.
ter relieves the congested condition
Of the barn when all of the farm ami
mails are to be sheltered, and utilizes
the straw for roughage SO as to re.
duce 1t to manure during the winter.
By keeping some OF the farm animals
here through the winter they get a
good share of their living from the
straw and by the time spring comes
the straw stack will be reduced to
good manure.
Many farmers thresh their small
grain crops away from their barn
grounds to save hauling the wheat a
a long distance, yet in so doing the
straw stack is in such location that
it cannot be economically used. 1t
stands out in the field for several
years, gradually rotting down, but al
ways occupying valuable field space.
In the end practically no good has
been derived from the straw. The
good farm manager who realizes the
possible value of straw will arrange
to feed it as soon as possible after
threshing, or use 1t for bedding or
for some other good purpose. 1t is
better to spread it back on the land
or use it for filling gullies than to al
low 1t to stand in the stack and slow.
ly decompose for three or four years.
Straw makes an excellent temporary
animal shelter; 1t is ideal bedding ma
terial and 1t is fairly good roughage
for winter feeding Of horses, cattle
and sheep.

On the ranch where wheat and 9TH
or small grains are grown. the straw
from the crops can be made to serve
some useful ends. The best way to
preserve straw is to blow 1t into a
barn or similar shelter at threshing
time. On the special grain farm,
wherI but few animals are kept, there
is usually much more straw than can
possibly be used and on such places
no attempt. as rule, is made to save
this by-product. On the general farm,
where relatively large number of
domestic animals is kept. the annual
crop Of straw is valued highly as
rough winter feed and for bedding the
animals. writes J. F. Harris in Denver
Field and Farm. In many cases all of
the straw is placed under shelter in
either loose or baled condition to be
used economically in many ways. On
the small tracts where chickens are
