FARMER NEEDS SONS
ON HIS IOWA FARM

Say Pat Reilly to any farmer in
the neighborhood of Rock Valley,
Iowa, and he'll Immediately open
up. Sure, I know Pat. He's the
Oldest of the Reilly boys. Old man
owns the 720 acre farm UP the
road. Best in the county. And
he's kept every last one of his
boys on the farm by using the
free choice, system"
lAnd he doesn't mean the free
choice system of hog feeding,
either, altho that's one of the
many up-to-date farm practices to
be used on the Reilly farm this
year. No, he means the free
choice system as applied to the
boys and their farm tasks.
The plan is simple. The father,
Irish-wise, has allowed each, one
of his sons. Pat, Tom, John, Ed.
and Will, to choose the one
thing on the farm he would rather
do, and let's him do it, In other
Morfis, a division of labor is
practiced on the Reilly farm that
has not only made each boy eag-
er to stay on the farm, but has
resulted in making the farm one
of the best managed in Sioux
county
Pat, the oldest, chose to carr
Tor the ihoFses He also works
with the hired man in the fields.
Tom, next in age, spends most of
his time with the cattle and
does other work during the day
after the chores are done; John.
who spent two years at Iowa
State college, takes care of the
hogs, is general ALL around fix-it
man, and keeps the books Ed
is now taking agriculture at Iowf.
State college and Will and another
hired man care for the home place,
where the father manages the
work.
."More is accomplished by this
division of labor, since every tag
end is taken care off," says John.
"Everyl ody is satisfied and happy
and wouldn't think OF leaving the
farm. My college course helped
me in many ways l have q
broader outlook. 1t helped me Inn
prove our live stock and taught
me the value of crop rotation and
bookkeeping. We hog down our
corn, but will practice the self
feeding plan next year, for it is
economical and profitable.

.COLOR'D O[EOMARGAR|NE
SALE PROHIBITED IN IA.

"A recent issue of one of our
dairy newspapers infers, although
lit does NOT definitely state, that
,here is a federal tax on all
oleomargarine of ten cents pei
pound. There is no such tax non
has there ever been one on oleo-
margarine except when it is color
e'd yellow dn imitation of butter.
Uncolored oleoma rgarine is taxed
under The U. S. Internal Revenue
laws at the rate of one-fourth
cent (1-4) a pound, a tax so
small AIS to in no way Influence
the RETAIL price of it. Renovated
hutter is also taxed at the same
rate.
AT this time of the year when
butten very naturally sells at a
|ahigh price due to. the fact that
there Us mulch less cream prod uced
the ole leomargarine manu- fact u rers
take advantage of the situation to
duVduCo 'uuo prlC6 UI ullolT pTOQ uCt.
Apparently the price of oleo omar
garine is not controlled by the
prices of thee raw materials from
which it is produced but is regu-
lated so as to- SELL under the
price df butter.
Wlen oleomarg garine is Sc ll6ng a,
20 cents per pound, we again
haar the old .'bugbear" of Govern
merit tax eff ten cents per poundp
in order to get good price for
an ARTICLE which should sell very
cheaply throughout the entire
Nean'.
Oleomargaline has never been
taxed more than one-fourth (1-4)
cents per pound except when it
has been al tifically colored, thereby
renuing it possible to sell it at
butter pRices to unsuspecting pur-
chaseIs The sale of colored oleo-
maIg. rine is prohibited in Iowa
by the State statutes.
