CORN A CHAMPION CROP

Corn, on a given area, will pro- ,
duce more human food than any ,
other crop commonly grown on
American farms. This crop
heads the list in units Of energy
produced per acre, and Is ahead
of all other crops except navy
beans and soy beans in tissue
building material. In the latter
element soy beans far outclass ;
all other crops, showing nearly
twice as much protein per acre
as navy beans, which rank sec
ond in this regard.
The dairy COW Is the most eff
cient of farm animals in the pro-
duction of human food (milk)
and the hog Is the most efficient
in the conversion of grain into I
meat, producing five times as
much per acre of crops as does
any other animal.
These facts and others are
told in the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture's Farmers
Bulletin 877. Human Food
From an Acre Of Staple Farm
Products" which gives an acre
for-acre comparison of the food
value of various crops and an
imal products.

HANDLING FOWLS
TO make PROFIT
Producer Must Keep Accurate
Accounts to Eliminate All
Leaks and Losses.
ALL FEEDS ARE EXPENSIVE
Department Of Agriculture Recon-.
mends Some Such Form Of Con-
venient Record as Is Shown In
Accompanying Illustration.

Bookkeeping for farm flock owners
Is growing in favor. Although quality
eggs are commanding excellent prices,
the costs Of all poultry feeds are corre-
spondingly high, so that It Is up to the
producer personally to keep accurate
accounts in order to know whether his
net return justifies the maintenance
and gradual expansion of his business.
In a word, all branches of farming are
reaching highly developed status
which necessitates intensive and accu-
rate record-keeping. Leaks and losses
must be eliminated, or at least limited,
and this can best be accomplished by
the medium Of the account book.
Systems of poultry accounting must
be extremely simple, while they must
not involve too much time. The United
States department of agriculture rec
ommends some such form Of con-
venient record as is shown In the &C.
companying illustration. This simple
account Is confined to one page, so
that every item may be seen at a
glance. 1t involves systematic ac-
count of the stock, the eggs laid and
sold, amount received, fowls sold and
amount received, cost Of fowls added
to the flock. quantity and cost Of feed,
eggs used for Matching and other pur-
poses as well as the cost of hiring la
Dor and materials. The columns and
spaces for expenses and receipts are
clearly indicated by type faces.
The arrangement at the top pro-
vides an inventory for all the stock,
the number of fowls on hand ut "A
given time, their cost and the cost OF
additional stock. Assuming that the
original flock consists of 545 fowls, that
number would be recorded on the line
extended from that caption. Again
assuming (for simplicity using 81 as
the unit Of cost that in March four
cockerels were bought, in September
three more male birds were pur-
chased, and in December two others
were secured. The number would be
placed In the lightly printed spaces
under the proper months following the
word During and the amount paid
in the heavier printed space below the
respective months. The inventory,
then, would be as follows:
b45 fowls at 81 EACH. .................... $54b
Q cockereis at q each................. .
After Total Number of Fowls"
would follow 545 and after Total Cost
of Fowls" 554 and the cost (orIginal
and the nine adGsd) 1854. Before this
number and amount is entered. Of
course, the number Of fowls lost from
any cause whatever should be de-
Quoted.

POULTRY FLOCK'S BIT

A good-size6 flock of laying
hens Is one of the most valuable
assets the farmer can possess.
Always there Is a demand for
strictly fresh" eggs; always
there Is a stop price" for the
commodity.
The unusual conditions now
prevailing and which inevitably
must prevail for an indefinite
period should stimulate the
farmer materially to increase
egg production. thereby not only
adding to his income, but also
supplying another important cog
to the big substance machine
with which America Is to food

dairy cows, since they act as tonic
upon the animals as well as a food,
and increase the flow of milk. Pulp
Is either used fresh or dried. 1t Is
dried artificially, either by itself or In
combination with molasses. The OBJ
ject in drying the pulp is to make 1t
easier to handle. About so per cent
of the weight is lost in drying. The
dried pulp should be soaked for sew
eral hours before II Is fed to stock.
Helps Milk Flow.
Animals cannot be finished for the
market on the beet by-products alone,
and unless other feed Is available Il
will not be advisable to purchase ami.
mails for feeding purposes with a view
to turning them on the market later.
II the farmer Is provided with dairy
cows, II Is advisable to furnish them
with one or two feeds Of tops or pulp
each day. The tops, when cured or
pitted, will keep for several months
the pulp. when left In q large pile,
will not spoil for feeding purposes, ex-
cept a thin layer on the surface. II
the tops or the pulp are fed heavily
to dairy cows, distinct increase IN

Sugar-beas growers should utilize

the tops and pulp-and increases the
growers profits. but there is another
reason-the nation needs more meat
as well as sugar. The combination of
stock raising and sugar-beet growing,
while beneficial to farmers will also
benefit the nation. Live stock on the
sugar-beet farm constitutes an impor-
tant factor in success of beet grow
ing from two standpoints: (D The
utilization of beet tops and pulp to
the best advantage, and (2) the pro-
duction of stable or barnyard manure,
which can be used to enrich the soil.
The feeding operations should be To-
Gated on the farms where the best
tops are produced. When practicable,
the pulp should be handled with frame
and fed. There should be available
labor for handling the stock, and 9th
err feeding stuffs used In combination
with the pulp and tops should be OBJ
tainable.
Good Feed for Stock.
Sugar-beet tops ands pulp are good
feed for many kinds Of live stock in
Guiding chickens. hogs, sheep, cattle,
and, to some extent, horses. Gener-
ally, the tops and pulp are fed to
sheep and cattle. They may be pas
tured Off, a process which consists in
turning the live stock into the beet
field after the beets have been har-
vested and the roots removed. The
tops are left scattered over the
ground, and this method of feeding
results in the ground being more or
less trampled. Sheep especially are In
clined to travel more generally In
paths, thereby trampling the ground
unevenly. In no case should the pas
turing of the tops be permitted when
the ground is wet, since the ground
Itself would be seriously injured by
trampling in that condition and many
of the tops would be wasted by being
trampled into the ground. While live
stock thrives on beet tops and pulp,
other feed must be used in finishing
the animals for the market. Beet
tops, especially the crowns, contain
considerable mineral matter, which Is
beneficial to live stock, but ii should
not be fed In too large quantities.
Aside from pasturing the tops, they
are sometimes allowed to cure partly
and are then gathered into piles,
hauled to the. feed yard and fed in
racks. This is much more economi-
cal method than pasturing, but 1t in
wolves the additional expense Of gath
ering and hauling. The tops may also
be used as ensilage. When chopped
with straw, cornstalks or other rough
age excellent silage is produced. Both
the tops and the pulp are excellent for
