drouth and rejoices when the rains
come. Next year believe that feter
ita will be grown in every state in
the Union regardless Of the amount
OF rainfall.
Scientific feeding tests show that
feterita is about equal to nine-tenths
of corn in feeding value. Last year
the price Of feterita seed ranged from
SIS to ss per hundredweight and on
account OF the limited supply thou
sands Of farmers could not get seed.
This year there will be more seed
but the demand will be much greater
The farmers owe much to the United
States Department OF Agriculture for
bringing feterita into Oklahoma.
My plan OF handling this crop
has proved very satisfactory to me
When the heads are in the dough
stage begin cutting 1t off at the
ground and pitch It over into the pas
ture for my stock to eat. All animals
to which it is fed begin to pick up
in flesh Immediately and the cows
give a more liberal flow of milk.
I keep on cutting II In small quan
titles until the second crop comes on.
However, my main crop is cut and

upon the productive capacity of the
cows. But getting the desired num-
ber of cows to start a creamery will
not insure its success. Unless the
cream supply increases and the pa
irons give their loyal support. it will
fail.
We have creameries started in Ok
lahoma that failed for no other sea-
son than the lack of support of the
farmers within a driving distance of
the creameries. About the time the
creamery is just getting started some
cream buyer comes along and offers
cent or a cent and a half more for
his cream than he is getting at HIS
home creamery. At once this patron
proclaims to the other patrons that
the creamery management is rotten
and thus he ceases to support the
creamery. In a short time others do
likewise and in a few weeks the In
stitution closes, not because the 9th
but because the farmer was too blind
. see that when the creamery wa
gone that he would have to accept
whatever price the buyer wanted to
pay him.
There ia q reason why the north
ern farmer get 25 to 26 cents per
pound for butterfat in cream when
the Oklahoma farmers only get IS
to 20 cents. They have the local
creamery.

Sheds are not Expensive.


Machinery sheds are not expensive.
One can make big interest, perhaps
as niue has 25 per cent or more on
the capital invested in machinery
sheds. At least he can make a larger
return than with any other form of
investment he can hake on the
farm.
And then great deal Of time may
be saved by giving the machinery the
proper care. as Raymond Only. the
farm machinery expert, has well said.

the next season, we would save a

The time Of the year when we need

is the most valuable to us. Yet
there are times when meny men will
spend a half day or more on one
machine, tightening nuts, cleaning

airy repairs before he can use It. Often
II is necessary to send to town for
repair parts. II the dealer does not
have them in stock the only thing we
can do is to wait a few days until
he orders them and either run ma
chine with the parts patched up or
not at all. The trouble could have
been remedied at the end of the pre-
vious season.
