SPRING WHEAT

The Brooks Brs., of Hopkinton, have
written this office requesting informa-
ton about seed wheat. Other farmers
are no doubt seeding wheat for the
first time and would appreciate few
lines on growing the crop.
Dark Marquis is the best variety for
this section. Seeded at the rate Of
one and oneIhalf bushels per acre
on we'll prepared corn stubble. Fall
plowed land or extra rich soil may
cause lodging. Drilling produces a
more uniform crop, but it can be
broadcasted and narrowed in or disk
ed lightly. One to one and one-half
inches is deep enough covering
Spring wheat may be used for nurse
crop, and the crop seems especially
adapted to the heavier soils.
The Farm Bureau is making ar
rangements to secure a car load of
Marquis seed wheat from the Govern
ment at $3.50 per bushel at Minneap-
oils. This wheat has been cleaned,
inspected and ready to SOW. Place
your order at once if you have not
done so with the County Agent. The
Government recently established a
price of 1920 for next years crop.
NEIGHBORS
The month of March will witness
many changes on the farms of Della
ware county Some Of these changes
will benefit the people and some will
not. How many farmers, both rent
er and landlord, have considered the
price?
will the change which has been
made on the basis of cheaper farm,
say one dollar per acre, make up for
the neighbors we have come to know.
or the effect on the children in school.
Some folks say our community pride
which was in evidence years ago, is
no more. The answer is in the 81
per cent of tenant population now op-
Grating Iowa farms. Where your home
is. there is your heart also. How
then, can we have community pride
and the old familiar neighborli-
ness in the country when the owner
lives in town and the renter is stop
ping for season. How can we main
tain and increase our advancement in
agricultural machinery, varieties and
methods.
Mr.. Cassidy, farmer and breeder
of fine livestock, who lives near Sioux
City, lives as he breaches. He says
"Pick your man, make him partner
in your business, sharing profits and
losses alike; produce live stock and
put the fertility back on the soil" Mr..
Cassidy believes in long term leases
and the combining of eac hother's ex-
perience in the best interests Of the
farm wor. Like the constant fall of
water wears the stone away, Mr.. Glass;
ady is convinced changing of tenants
doesn't pay. At some future date Mr..
Cassadys contract with his renters

SPRING PIGS
Every effort is being made to in
crease pork productions this year. Let
us save the spring pig crop not be-
cause of the initial value, but because
they are a valuable asset in convert
ing feed into a high priced product
and will aid in the solving of the
labor problem this coming year.
Lack of food and comfortable quar-
tiers for the sows are the main causes
for losses at narrowing time. The old
sows should be receiving at this time
liberal supply Of nutritious food. A
SOW that is in good condition at far
rowing time is more liable to raise a
litter of thrifty pigs. A mixed feed
consisting of one third corn, one third
tankage, and one third gluten feed or
ground oats, these will furnish the
necessary minerals and sustenance
needed at this time A little oil meal
added to the ration will lhelp to over
come constipation which Is especially
dangerous at narrowing time. Corn
should not be fed exclusively as it
is too fattening and heating. Plenty
of exercise and coarse foods are nee
essary to keep the SOW vigorous. Just
prior to the narrowing time heavy
feeding should be stopped and light
sloppy feed substituted
Many successful hog raisers over
Iowa keep the following mixture be-
fore their hogs at all times: Char
coal bushel; wood ashes l bushel;
lime pounds; salt pounds, copper
sulphate Y pound, (the latter is
usually melted in gallon of water,
when thoroughly dissolved add into
the above mixture by spraying and
mixing.
Comfortable quarters are essential.
A damp cold hog barn is breeder
Of pneumonia and other diseases.
Where such conditions exist it will pay
to stake some space in the general
barn. Build temporary pens for each
SOW and arrange for good clean bed
ding, and other essentials before it is
too late. The following table gives the
dates of breeding and narrowing for
sows, based on 112 days CESSATION per-
iod. First date indicates date Of breed

The fresh sardine is beautiful lit

while beneath the scales there shows

There are bars on its back and sides

ment it is exposed to the air. The rest
