FARMERS EXCHANGE
TO BE DEVELOPED

One of the most important move
ments resulting from the organiza-
ton campaign of the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture is the
development of farmers exchange.
Farmers see in an efficient exchange
method of saving great deal Of
money which is ordinarily wasted.
They propose to buy those farm pro-
ducts which they do not produce
themselves from neighboring farmers
instead of depending on city markets
for them.
Numerous instances where an eX-
change would save money to both
buyer and seller have been brought to
the attention of extension workers
during the last four months. With a
farmers exchange in every commun-
ity it will be possible for the members
to obtain farm products which they
need from neighbors or other members
of farmers exchanges in the same
county. In this way saving Of
time and of transportation will be
possible. The possibilities of an ex-
change are illustrated by an incident
in Oregon county. A farmer had
been hauling corn 20 miles to Thayer.
Another farmer in the same neighbour
hood had been buying corn in Thay-
er and hauling it to his farm 20 miles
away. Another instance has been
found where Missouri farmer bought
soybean seed from an Illinois firm
for $500 bushel. His neighbor pre-
viously sold some Of the same variety
to the same firm for about SIPS a
bushel. Other instances similar to
these are on record. If a farmers
exchange had been in operation in
any of these cases both the buyer and
seller would have saved money.
The working plan of a farmers ex-
change is given in Agricultural EX-
tension Service Circular q of the COL
lege of Agriculture. This circular
points out the advantages of farm
ers' exchange, discusses the organiza-
ton, and explains briefly how the ex-
change works. Copies of this circu-
lar may be had free of charge by adj
dressing the College of Agriculture,

DOES THE FARM HEN PAY?

A farm hen which will eanr S2.47
above her feed cost is a valuable as
set. M. P. Hollar of Ray county had
1873 hens which averaged that amount
for year, according to figures sup
piled by him to the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture. Mr..
Hollar started his test April 1, 1916,
and produced during the twelve sue
ceeding months $468.S4 worth of eggs
and $235.60 worth of birds. His feed
cost for the year was $242.05, which
left a net profit of $46239. His hens
averaged 141 eggs during the year.
Some farmers contend that poultry
is profitable only when it lives on
waste material and that feeding will
result in loss. The College of Agri-
culture has been cooperating with a
few farmers in the State to determine
what returns may be expected from
well managed flock on the average
farm. Records on all the flocks have
not been compiled but reports which
have been received indicate that prop
err feeding methods will return a
worthwhile profit.
Two other records are not so good
as that made by Mr.. Hollar but they
show that the birds returned a good
profit above the feed cost. Mrs. MINI
rod Nance of Daviess county had 240
hens and produced S295.02 worth of
eggs and $28563 worth of birds. The
feed cost for the year was SPACES,
which left net profit of $334.57.
Her hens averaged So eggs each and
she realized profit of $1.39 on each
bird.
Mrs. H. R. Spaht also of Davies
county produced $19746 worth of eggs
and S25S.66 worth of poultry from her
flock of 100 hens. She spent S217.59
for feed. This gave her a profit of
$238.53 over feed cost, which gives
her an average profit of $1.49 per hen.
The hens averaged 88 eggs each.
These three records are the only
ones that are complete for a year, but
number of other co-operators have
started keeping profit and cost &C.
count of their poultry and all are OBJ
tanning good returns on the money in
vested.
