BUILD A SiLO

1t is cheaper for the farmer to build
a silo now than it was year ago, OF
even two years ago-not in dollars and
cents but in bushels of corn, or pounds
of beef or pork, according to E. W..
Lehman of the University of Miss
ouri College of Agriculture. A silo
was never needed more than at present
Practically all of the corn crop is
saved for feed when put in a silo, but
otherwise 30 to 40 per cent of it is lost
Old silos should be repaired before
time to fill them. Temporary wooden
silos are likely to shrink and fall down
if not looked after during the summer
months.
For those who expect to build new
silos this season, plans can be secured
from the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice. Other information available to
the Missouri College of Agriculture
on silos and the use of silage will be
found in Station Bulletin 1873, The
Silo and Its Use; Station Circular 81
How to Build Guirler Silo ;Exten-
sion Circular No. 5, Filling the Sllo;
and Extension Circular 80, Silos and
silage.

LIME GIVES BETTER RESULTS

Much land in Missouri needs lime.
Lands failing to grow clover should be
tested as To their lime need and if they
are sour, lime should be applied. The
University of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture, Columbia, will send infor-
nation on request regarding the lime
need of the various soils of the state.
At pre-war prices of farm crops the
return from lime on various soil ex-
pertinent fields in Missouri has been
approximately 100 per cent on the in
vestment. The present price of farm
crops make this return approximately
200 per cent. The cost of limestone
has not greatly increased during the
war, and lining is one of the best
means at this time of increasing
soil productivity. The war emergency
makes it more important to apply lime
than ever before.
Considering the transportation diff
iculties, orders should be made soon
so that the lime may be delivered in
time for applying to wheat lands this
fall.

HOW TO PRODUCE
MAXIMUM WHEAT YIELD

Early blowing and the preparation
of good seeded, fertilizers, good
varieties, control of hessian fly and
smut are the principal means of IN
creasing the wheat yield, and increas-
ing it profitably. To do their part Ill
winning the war, farmers must in
crease the production of wheat. This
increased production can be brought
about in either or both of two general
ways: by increasing the wheat acre
age, and by increasing the yield per
acre. The increase in acreage, how
ever, that is practicable under pres
ent conditions is not very large. The
shortage of labor and the demand for
heavy production of corn are the
main factors that will prevent con-
tinued large increase in the acreage
of wheat. The grain must come from
an increased yield per acre. To pro-
duce this gain, according to the Uni
versity of Missouri College of Agri-
culture, better methods of produc-
ton must be used.

the members. Many counties have
held such exhibits. The University of
Missouri College of Agriculture has
announced that the state has been div
ided into four sections, in an effort to
create greater interest in the work,
The county in each section which has
the largest number of club members
taking part in grain judging contest
gefore December Is, 1918, will be aw-
arded trophy cup. 1t will remain
the property of the county for ore
year. The clubs should be organized
and the work begun as near the first
of September as possible. The Agri-
cultural Extension Service, Columbia
! Missouri, will furnish additional i'll
formation upon request.

HOGS NEED SHADE
AND CLEAN WATER

Shade and clean water during the
summer months are essential to. sue
cessful pork production. All kinds of
hogs must have shade. Too much di-
rect sunshine and heat is a frequent
cause of hogs failing to thrive and is
often the cause of hogs dying, Du-
ring July and August small pigs Of
ten blister on the back and about the
ears which causes, in some cases, Sc
we're infections and sores.
Expensive shelter is not necessary.
Shade trees provide ample protection.
Where no trees exist temporary shade
may be provided by the covering of
frame with canvas, under which the
hogs may go for protection. Some
producers build individual hog houses
with sides that may be lifted to provi-
de an increased amount of shade dur
ing the summer months. This plan fur
nishes shade for hogs where only a
few are kept.
Clean fresh water for drinking and
wallow is equally as important as, or
more important than, shade. The old
time wallow hole covered with scum,
which was once also the drinking fou-
ntain, is no longer in favor with the
successful hog feeder. Hogs must
have water to drink, and if they cam
not have fresh water in the trough or
fountain, they will drink where they
can find it, regardless of its condition.
This fact has caused some to be-
lieve that hogs prefer nothing better,
but that they do and will demonstrate
the fact when they are able to get fr-
esh water from the WELL
The clean wallow hole is also impor-
tant. Hogs may use the muddy wall
ow if no other is available; but, again
if clear water is provided in concrete
wallow they will prefer it to the mud
hole. Concrete wallows are not expen,
sive, according to S. T. Simpson of the
University of Missouri College of Ag'
riculture, if constructed at odd time:
when farm labor can be utilized. Ar
excavation 6 by feet, or larger. ant
about ID inches deep walled and floor
ed with concrete and filled with water
will prove profitable attraction to tLc
hogs on hot summer days.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES


The annual reports Of District
Clerks and Secretaries are due at this
Office al date not later than July Is.
Clerks and Secretaries should be very
particular that their reports arc not
sent in late as this causes unnecessary
correspondence and delays the County
Superintendent's report to the Staue
Superintendent.
Rearding the salaries of elementary
teachers in the schools of Missouri,
the State Superintendent further says
"Sixty-seven per cent Of the teachers
receiving $3.50 or less spend more than
they earn in the school room. So
per cent of those receiving $405 sperd
more than they earn in >thc school
room. so per cent of those receiving
$3.50 or less spend more than they
earn in the school room. The above
allows nothing for savings and little
for professional growth. 1t covers
bare living expenses. 52.4 per cent Of
all elementary teachers receive less
than $3.50 per year. These must sup
plement their earnings in the school
room. The above is true notwith-
standing the fact large per cent of
teachers live at home and buy their
own statements contribute nothing
whatever to living expenses. In the
Teacher Training schools 81 per cent
of all grade teachers are local and IN
the main live at home. The answers
from many of these local teachers
show that the salary from teaching
would by no means support them were
it not for the fact that room and
board cost them nothing, being paid
by their parents.
zone effect of inadequate salaries
will be scarcity of first class teach
ers in the elementary schools. AL
ready there are many signs pointing to
an immediate shortage. Many of the
best teachers are leaving the profess
ton for work which will return liv-
ing wage. Attendance in schools pre-
pairing teachers is less than in formcr
years. Fewer applicants are taking
teachers examination.
"Sir Herbert Fisher, the Commits
sioner of Education for England, stat
ed short time ago that that nation
which after the war employs the hest
teachers with the highest pay and has
the best school system, will be the
best governed and therefore the great
est nation. Worthy education is i'm
possible where inferior teaching fore
es are employed and only inferior
teaching forces can be secured where
inferior pay is offered. Where teach-
ing is inferior, good government can
not be expected England has in
creased her appropriation for schools
Germany boasts that she spent more
for education during the second year
of the war than ever before in the
history of the Empire. The only here
of the nation lies in the education Of
her children"

BUTTER FOR THE NAVY

Butter for the Navy is being in
spected by dairy manufacturing spe-
cialists of the Department of Agri-
culture to insure a uniformly high
quality for men in the service. In
this work, greatly enlarged since the
war, there are go specialists inspect
ing the output of 80 creameries IN
various parts of the country. Only
the best grade of cream is accepted
for making this butter. More than
six and half million pounds of but
ter will be inspected during the sea
son, and most of it will be packed in
lacquered tin containers in order to
preserve its quality for as long a
time as possible.

HOME OF THE MOCKING BIRD

The attractive grounds at State
Hospital No. A, in this city, is the home
of hundreds of hooking birds. Sew
cral hundred birds of this species are
fed daily by the patients taking
crumbs from the various dining room
tables, and DIR. Eaton, Superintendent,
encourages this attention. Under no
condition are the birds molested CIR
disturbed. They make their nests and
raise their young in unprotected small
shrubbery, and create much interest
and comment on account of the num-
bcrs and constant musical inclinations.
Verify, the spacious grounds Of
State Hospital No. A is the home OF
the hooking bird.
