Average butter-fat pro- Av. icome
duction (pounds) - above feed cost
As butter-fat production increased

AS butter-fat production increased
from $50 pounds to 800 pounds, income
over cost Of feed advanced from SIS
to $56 or as production doubled income
above feed cost increased three times!
AS butter-fa production Increased from
$50 pounds to $50 pounds income over
cost of feed advanced from $1S to sos,
or as production trebled income above
feed cost increased six times. If no ex-
penses except the cost Of feed are con-
sidered, the COW that produced $50
pounds of butter fat was as profitable
as 81 COWS Of the first group, whose
average production was 100 pounds. If
labor and miscellaneous expenses also.
could be taken into consideration the
result would be much mere striking.
A further study of the records showed
that the cost of rouoghage was about
the same for all groups but the total
cost OF feed was somewhat greater for
the more productive cows The increas
ed profit should therefore be credited
in part of better feeding. but appar-
emily it was more largely due to better
cows. The present high cost Of feed
will eliminate the low producing COW,
or 1T must eventually eliminate the
dairyman who keeps such cows More
cows are needed but better cows are
needed more. Certainly it pays to keep
good cows and to feed them we'll.

fine. posted bond to appear, and be-
fore the time arrived. their money was
returned, evidently showing the in1us-
up and fined recently. remarked to the
cop that he was liable to be picked up
hard some day, and that day arrived

Organize Farm. Bureaus.

One Of the greatest needs Of the pres
ent war, according to the United States
department of agriculture. is the ef-
fective organization of agricultural
forces. The department. advocates the
formation Of county farm bureaus as
an effective means Of securing needed
local organization,
The county farm bureau, says the
department, helps to unity the efforts
of existing farmers organizations and
to strengthen their work. The bureau is
likened to rural chamber OF agricul-
ture, corresponding in many OF it's
functions to a city chamber of COM
merce. The farm bureau grew out OF a
similar need for effective agricultural
organization to meet rural problems,
and 1t has ben described as organized
self-help 1t started as an outgrowth
Of the work done by county agricultural
agents. but it has become the local
federating agency thru which groups
Of rural people may find expression.
The farm bureau plan, as seen by
the United State sdepartment of agri-
culture, provides for a representative
membership. with committees and a
county council. The membership should
be general over the county, and at
least four-f ifths Of It should be made
up of active farmers. Those who are
interested in either the formation or
the development of farm bureau
should write to the extension director
at the state agricultural college and
secure advice as to how to proceed.

FIELDS FROM WHICH
CORN slLAGE 10 TAKEN
MAKE GOOD WHEAT LAND

In many localities In Iowa the field
that has raised crop OF corn for
silage this year is an excellent place
for winter wheat. On the average farm
field will be small but 1t Ia estimated
that 100000 acres Of Iowa's corn crop
will be cut for silage or fodder. Some
of the corn will be cut too late to pre-
pare the ground for winter wheat, but
at least half Of the acreage could be
used for winter wheat to good ad-
vantage.
The amount Of work required to pre-
pare the seed bed will depend upon
how free of weeds the corn ground
has been kept Most fields can be put
in excellent shape by double disking
and narrowing once. The object should
be to have firm pulverized seed bed
so that the wheat, when drilled, will
come in contact with the moist soil
at a depth of about ~ inches. Do not
harrow after drilling as the drill marks
offer some protection from drifting soil
and reduce winter killing.
Farmers desiring to list any winter
wheat they nave for sale or to secure
list OF available seed may do so by
writing to the agricultural extension
department Or to the Iowa Corn and
Small Grain Growers Association,
Ames.
