MORE FEED
NEEDEDFOR
LIVESTOCK

IF our livestock is to remain I'M
depleted, except thru the intelligent
wedding cut of the drones. weaklings,
and unproductive individuals, there
must be provision for using more of
the waste Of farms, growing degumin-
Gus feeds without displacing the ce-
real acreage, an economy of protein
and utilization Of feeds of all kinds
o the best advantage" states the Ex-
pertinent Station Record, issued by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture.
American farmers need to keep more
livestock to utilize all waste products
on the farms, to market proftably
such crops as clovers and alfalfa
which improve the soil, to utilize rough
lands not suited to cultivation and to
provide meat and milk products so
needed in these times of war. To keep
more livestock and at the same time
to raise more grain, every acre must
be made to produce more, thru pro-
perly supplementing the natural fer
tility Of the soil, and directly feeding
the crops.

RAILROADS.

To the Editor: The following state
ments is made by Ivy L. Led, Wash

"The Railroads War Board has re-
eeived reports indicating that the eff
forts of the Railroads and coal ship
pers to prevent the threatened coal
shortage in the northwest during the
'oming winter has been more success
full than seemed possible during the
summer. With five weeks or more
left before the close of navigation on
he Great Lakes, 23,348,1OO of the
100000 tons, which it has estimated
will be required, have already been
sent to the northwest.
The commission on car service is
now directing efforts to the work of
nsuring an adequate coal supply for
domestic and industrial uses of coal
n all other sections Of the country,
While a greater supply of coal has
1een mined and shipped than ever be-
ore. The difficulty today is that the
consumption all over the country is
greater than ever before"

o crop in the history of the country.

al approximately 453 billion bushels

September. The movement of it will

alto crop"

THE WONDERFUL
BEAUTIFUL IN
TERESTING EARTH

eff one has drained his land, and
plowed it, and fortified it, and plant
ed it, and harvested it-even though
it be only few acres-how he comes
to know and to love every rod of it.
He knows the wet spots and the dry
spots, the warmest and most fertile
spots, until his acres have all the
qualities of a personality, whose every
characteristic he knows. =. Of all
the places in the world where life can
be lived to it's fullest and freshest,
where it can be met in it's greatest
variety and beauty, I am convinced
that there is none to equal the open
country, Or the country town. For all
country people in these days may have
the city, some city or town not too far
away; but there are millions of men
and women in America who have no
country and no sense of the country.

HIGH CROP
PRICES
What They Mean to the Farmer.

High farming can never be a re-
medy for low prices" Years ago this
statement was made by an eminent
scientist-was disbelieved for time
was then tolerated-and is now taken
almost as a creed with nearly all ag-
ricultural workers. This statement
is true, as is also the converse. Pres
ent high prices of farm crops make
high farming possible
Years ago the farmers of Illinois.
Iowa, mad Minnesota burned their ma
nure and straw piles. They had to
the piles were in the way. They OBJ
structed the streets of the new grow
ing towns and hamlets. With soil
in the first flush of fertility, and with
wheat at low price, the cost of haul
ing and spreading was not returned
in the increase of crop. So the manure
and straw were burned, or dumped in
to hollows, or disposed of in any way
possible. Today the land is past its
virgin fertility Wheat is higher than
ever. 1t pays to save manure and
straw and SO even in the far west,
farmers are this year for the first
time building cement feeding floors
and cement manure pits and in other
ways adopting measures which lead to
high farming. High crop prices have
made this possible.

VESPER

Wood is wood and will continue to
be so until the fuel situation is again
supplied Those who have wood to
cut would do well to get to work in
the woods and get to cutting, because
when the first cold snap of winter
reaches US there will be an enormous
demand for wood. Good prices pre-
vail and those who are in the wood
game should get supply cut ahead to
meet the demand.
Mrs. w. T. Strack was at Marshffeld
Monday and Tuesday to undergo a
medical examination, but she will not
submit to an operation for some time
to come.
Wilbur Perkins who lives near the
Eight Corners cheese factory, ordered
a carload Of coal thru the American
Cooperative Association, and just
eight days from the time he gave the
order the coal was there. Their coal
cost $5.27 per ton laid down in Vesper
although coal has gone up 25c per ton
at the mines since.
Some farmers here and there are
reported to be reducing the size of
their dairy herds on account of the
high cost of feeding stuffs, intending
to turn their attention to grain crops
The shortage Of farm labor may add
to this tendency to get out of dairying
and into other lines of farming. There
may be farmers who are compelled
to sell off some of their cows for one
reason or another, but it will be a
mistaken policy to pursue when it may
be avoided. There is prospect of an
increased supply of grains next year.
More acres have been put into winter
wheat this fall than ever before.

operative Association who are here

officials will be here shortly to cast
their lot for suitable location.
Weather conditions were a little

this fall in order to get their fall plow-
ing done. Some potatoes have also
been dug the past week.
