According to an Investigation
Made by Department of
Agriculture.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-That
cattle in most cases add to the farm
income in the corn belt is indicated
by the results of a recent investiga-
ton conducted by the United States
department of agriculture as part Of
a comprehensive study Of the meat
situation in which its specialists
have seen engaged for some time.
The direct profit from the raising Of
calves in this section, the averages
seem to establish, is usually well but
the investigators point out that there
are other factors which make the
practice more advantageous than
would appear at first sight.
Among these advantages are the
fact that live stock on the farm pro-
vide a home market and means OF
utilization OF farm roughage, some
of which might be wasted II not fed,
and the use of pastures which could
not be employed probably in any
other way. Live stock also afford a
ready home market for certain other
crops, which at times would have to
be hauled considerable distances to
be sold. Finally, the presence of live
stock on the farm gives productive
employment throughout the year to
labor which at certain seasons might
otherwise be idle. Live stock also
gives some interest on capital invest
ed on equipment which would pro
duce nothing II not utilized at all
seasons. The fertilizing value of ma
nure also must be considered. When
these factors are taken into consld-
Grafton, even thought there appears
to be little or no profit as shown by
cost figures, it is believed that in
most instances the farm income is
greater because of cattle having been
kept on the farm. The keeping OF
live stock, therefore, is to be recon-
mended on farms having large guam
titles Of cheap roughage available or
having land which can be best util-
'zed as pasture.
Summary of Results.
The figures of costs cited by the in
vestigators are purely averages bas-
ed on actual farms and herds inves-
tigated. The Investigators obtained
in 1914 and 1915, 596 records from
farms in Indiana, Illinois. Minneso-
ia, Iowa, Missouri, South Dakota, Ne
braska and Kansas. These records
dealt with 1874 cows, 621 bulls and

on Cabin creek, Cabin Creek district,
Kanawha county, w. Va. The well
is purely a wildcat and while its
status as a producer will not be de-
termined until after it has been shot,
the consensus of opinion is that 1t
will be good for 100 barrels a day.
Should the estimate prove correct the
well probably shows an extension to
the Berea grit development on the
Williams Coal COmpany's tract and
will open the way for a large amount
OF development work.
Development work in nearly all
sections Is active but much work Is
delayed on account Of the inability
Of operators to secure casing and
tubing. The price of all kinds Of
material entering into the drilling
of oil and gas wells has advanced to
point that operators claim that 1t
does not warrant them drilling for
light bumpers. Some OF the larger
manufacturers Of pipe will not take
orders for delivery under ninety
days. This will throw good deal OF
work late in the year before 1t can
be started. Reports from many dis
tricts show that a large number oil
wells are shut down awaiting the de-
livery Of casing.
Nothing Better Than Light PmperS'
The close OF the week saw the COM
pletion of light bumpers, gassers and
dry holes. In the Burning Springs
district, Writ county, c. P. Gordon

Miller farm through the salt SAND
and 1t is dry. In the same districS
the Eight Sands Oil Company drilled
a test on the Gibson heirs farm
through the second Cow Run sand
with the same result. Wolfe and
O'Brien's No. q on the Waite tract
is very light pumper in the second
Cow Run sand.
In Union district, Wood county
the South Penn OIL Company has
completed No. II on the P. o'Brien
farm. 1t is a duster in the second
Cow Run sand. In Williams district
the Drake Oil Company's test and

tory value by SIS. All calves, except
those of the baby beef group, were
inventoried just before being turned
on pasture at a time when the cost
of the calf Is greatest as compared
with its value. It is believed that if
the records had included data on the
calves until the following November
that the difference between the cost
and value would have been much less.
The calves in the dual-purpose group,
although the poorest in quality, seem
to rank second in point of profit.
The cost Of production was lowest
for calves in the double-nursing
group, and as these animals are rela-
lively of good quality they showed
the greatest profit. Although there
were but % farms in this group, the
results seem, to the Investigators, sig,
nifcant.

Bowden, the Watcross candidate for con-
gress i'm the Eleventh district, today is
sued challenges to his three lawyer OPP
ponents for a joint debate at Bailey, in
Appling county, Saturday, June "a.
Mr. Bowden is scheduled to deliver
an address next Saturday at a Bowden
rally in Baxley and said that inasmuch
as it has been reported that he was
afraid to meet any of his opponents on
the stump he wanted to let the people
of the district know he was ready and
willing to meet any man in the race and
discuss the issues of the campaign.
1t is not known here whether Mr.. Bow
denis challenges will be accepted or not.
In the event they are the meeting at
Baxley next Saturday probably will be
the warmest that has been held since
the Eleventh was created, as Mr.. Bow
den has a reputation for making his
talks. to the point and handling ques-
tions with gloves off. He is known as
speaker who makes fur fly. w. T. Brin-

is field manager for Mr.. BOwden's cam

Every candidate for congress in the
Eleventh has been busy this week, Con-
gresham Walker remaining in the dis
trict to see number of his friends and
look after his fences generally. Judge
Thomas spoke in Congressman Walkers
home county this week and has been
covering much territory in the interest
of his candidacy. w. c. Landlord, the
Coffee county candidate, is continuing
his canvass of the district and appar-
emily is making friends wherever he
goes. Mr.. Bowden has spent most of the
week in Berrien county. making a house
toulouse canvass. He regards Berrien as
one of the battle grounds of the district
and is going to work hard to carry it.
He feels greatly encouraged after his
visit this week and has received numer-
Gus reports from other sections to indi-
cate that his campaign is gaining force
in all parts of the Eleventh.

TRIAL OF MRS. INNES IS

Counsel for Defense Does Not
Expect Case to Be Heard
Until Then

not be tried until September. The plan
to have Mrs. lines who is charged with
the same offense, tried Immediately, has
been abadoned, it was understood from
counsel for the defense Saturday. Judge
James K Hines, leading counsel, stated
Saturday afternoon that it appeared that
the trial would not be held until Sep
TENDER.
Plans for an early trial for Mrs. Innes
were made recently when ii was an
nounced that she, suffering with tu-
berculosis. was in a serious condition
and unable to stand Imprisonment
through the summer
The state has been opposed to hear
ing the case against Mrs. Innes until
the motion for new trial for her nus
band is settled, and il is understood
would have resisted an effort to have an
immediate trial.
Solicitor Hugh Dorsey stated Satur-
day that it would require considerable
time to prepare for the trial of Mrs
Innes, and that the state could hardly
be ready before September.
Hearing of the motion for new trial
for Victor T. Innes is set for next Sat
urday. Due to the volume of evidence
i'm the case and to the fact that the
lines defense will need the transcript of
the evidence before filing the amended
motion. it is probably that delay in
the hearing will be necessary.
