MISsOURPS 1917 RECORD

1917 annual report of Secretary
Jewell Mayes of the Missouri State
Board of Agriculture shows the fol-
lowing record of war crops:
In 1916 there were planted in Mis-
souri, lin eleven standard crops which
were measured in bushels), 10,342,-
3S9 acres-and on that area grew
187,314063 bushels.
(fhe eleven crops here referred to
are corn, wheat, oats, rye, buckwheat,
barley, fax and sorghum seed, tim
othy and clover seed, and potatoes.)
In 1917, surveying these same elev-
en- crops, the area is found to be H.
200,457 acres-and on these acres
grew 351, 101 ,067 bushels.
In 1917, the first year of the war,
under wartime stress and activity,
the gain in acreage of those eleven
standard crops was s per cent. The
gain or increase in total number of
bushels of those eleven crops was 81
per cent. Compared to 1916, our 1917
valuation of these crops showed an
increase of 142 per cent.
Measured by dollars, the 1917 grand
total of Missouri's garden, orchard
and field crops is $546,529,136 The
1916 total of crops was 1921 1888, 951--
our 1917 valuation showing an in
crease of 1876 per cent over 1916!

MISSOURI RICH IN
UNUSED RESOURCES

"Why does Missouri ship yearly
into her cities millions of paving brick
and leave her excellent clay deposits
almost unexploited Why does she
purchase thousands Of tons of coal
from Kansas, Illinois, Indiana and
other more distant States, while leav-
ing her own rich coal deposits only
partially developed? Why does she
import thousands of bags Of cement
from Kansas and practically pass by
her own deposits of limestone and
clay that are suitable for the manu-
facture of a commercial product Of
more excellent quality?
"Why does Missouri bring in build
ing sand by the car and barge load,
and all but ignore her own store? ?
Why have her cities laid miles of as
phalt paving, but not a single square
yard of material which comes from
her own extensive asphalt deposits ?
Why does she not make systematic
investigation to determine her re-
sources in highway material? Why
is she so proud that her beautiful cap
itol is built of native stone? Would
she be less proud of the fact if all her
material resources were being drawn
upon for her further development ?"
These or similar questions may be
extended almost indefinitely, accord
ing to Dean E. J. McCaustland of the
University of Missouri. The ans
wers to all appear tosbe based upon a
single idea Missouri: is not We awake
to her natural resources. missouri
is famous for her agricultural, dairy
and fruit interests and she has not
yet realized her resources in other
things, Dean McCaustland says. at
is time that some co-ordinated move
ment be started through business and
commercial organizations to encour-
age the use of what the State has
within her borders and cease paying
toll to transportation companies for
materials of no better quality"

EXPERIMENTS HELP In
WARTIME PRODUCTION

Increased prices Of feeds have hin
dered the necessary increase in live
stock production, because farmers
have been laboring under the impress
sion that livestock cannot be fed at q
profit. The University Of Missouri
College of Agriculture, through the
department of animal husbandry, Is
conducting number of experiments
which are Of great value to livestock
producers. When war seemed imml-
nent the college Immediately adjusted
its Investigations so that it could sup
ply the information which would be
demanded by unusual conditions. A
great deal of information, resulting
from previous experiments, was al
ready available. But it was neces-
sary to obtain data which would be
applicable under present and impend-
ing conditions.
Investigations under way cover the
following subjects: Heavy and Light
Grain Rations for Fattening Steers;
Cost of PRODUCTION and Systems of
Management of Hogs; Various Uses
of the Self-feeder for Fattening Hogs.
The results of investigations on fat
tening steers are brought up to date
in bulletins 149 and $50. Informa-
ton on the use Of the self-feeder and
on rations for fattening swine will be
found in bulletin 144.
Recent Investigations conducted by
the college indicate that hogs can be
fed at profit under present condi-
tions. These Investigations were car
ried on during last winter and sum-
mer. Some of the pigs were sold dur
ing the last week in November. The
profits were figured on a basis of cur
rent feed and pork prices. Full data
on these experiments are not avail
able, but preliminary results show
that hogs can be fed profitably under
farm conditions even at the high
price of feeds. A meeting of produc-
ers will be held in Columbia during
the latter part of April when the hogs
and cattle will be ready for market
Complete data will be available al
tht time.

MOTION PICTURES SHOW
HOW WORK OF BOYS
INCREASES MEAT SUPPLY

To help increase the pork supply
the Department of Agriculture has
released to motion picture theatres,
through one of the large companies, a
film showing the work CT the boys
pig clubs which the department is
organizing in all parts of the country.
The film shows methods Of instruct
ing farm boys who have joined the
agricultural clubs how to raise bet
ter pigs and the methods used by
club members in carrying out in
structions.
The first pig club was organized in
Louisiana in 1910. Now approx
mately $4,000 members are enrolled
throughout the country. Clubs in
several States are planning to send
carloads of fat hogs to fair and stock
shows, after which they are to be
marketed comparatively.
Other moving pictures being used
to show the Importance of increased
food production show activities in the
national forests, important sources OF
timber and water supply.

1870 SPRAYED TREES
NETTED $1S13.55

Thousands of acres of apple Or
chard which have never been profta-
bic can be converted into an asset
by spraying and pruning. These or
chards are potent source OF food
supply which should not be neglected,
especially during the present emer.
gency. The University of Missouri
College of Agriculture is urging that
every orchard be put in bearing con-
dition. This is much more satisfac,
tory than planting new orchards which
would not come into bearing until af-
ter the war is over. Furthermore,
the land which would be devoted to
a new orchard can be cultivated mole
I conveniently and more protitably if it
is planted to some other crop.
An example of the profits from
spraying is illustrated by the exper-
fence of Charles Hamburger Of JEFF
ferson Barracks, Mo. Mr. Tanzber-
gers orchard is II years old and was
never sprayed until last year. He
offered his orchard Of 100 apple trees
I for spraying demonstration. In
1917 as a result of proper spraying,
| the 100 trees produced $1897.55
worth of fruit. The total cost of
spray materials, together with the
cost of labor, amounted to $84. Thus
the net profit resulting from spraying
was $1,813.55. The orchard had new
err been profitable before. For exam
pie, the same orchard of 100 trees
I was set just as heavily with fruit ear.
ly in the season of 1916 as it was
last spring, yet it produced without
spraying only enough apples for
three barrels of vinegar.
Mr.. Tanzberger's letter, dated De-
cember IL, 1917, to T. J. Talbert, who
conducted the orchard demonstration,
follows:
"My apples were divided into first
and second grades. Out of my 500
barrels of Winesap apples, l had
about 80 barrels of second. The culls
which l kept myself made three bar
rels of cider.
II sold all the apples $500 bar
rels) to one man. He paid me one
price all the way through, which was
$500 barrel.
"All that | had to do was to pick
the apples. The commission man bar
relied them and stood the barrels and
hauled them away from the place al
so. Spraying pays"

PECAN A MISSOURI NUT

The pecan is a native Missouri nut,
but until of recent times it has not
been recognized money producer.
Thousands of native wild trees were
cut down along the Missouri bottoms
and hill sections that the land might
be cultivated, at time when pecans
were worth from 25 to rs cents per
bushel, if salable locally at any price.
Today the pecan retails in midwin-
ter at 80 cents or more per pound.
One Missouri tree is reported as pro-
ducing nuts t eht
ducing nuts to the market value of
500.
Inquiry is growing in Missouri for
pecan trees fit for planting, and small
orchards of either budded or grated
trees are being set out. While trees
grow wild oftenest in the valley, ex-
perts declare that hill soil produces
equally we'll. A pecan, grove is val
liable and profitable property today
in Missouri.
