Enterprise Accounts.

How many farmers in Orleans
county know what it cost them last
year to raise an acre of oats, of po-
tatoes, of corn, Or any other crop?
The number of farmers who answer
this question in the affirmative prob
ably can be counted on the fingers of
one hand Often when we think
things over, it is a surprise to realize
how little we know of what it costs
to raise crops; to produce anything on
the farm, for that matter. We con-
tinue raising potatoes year after year
without knowing whether they pay or
not, or whether the dairy is paying
the loss on the potato crop and our
living as we'll. Or it might be vice
versa. Present-day constructive
farming demands records. Every
business must have records. Farm
ing is a business. Hence, why not
keep records? Several farmers of
this county have promised to keep ac-
counts of the cost Of raising some
one crop this coming season. A rec
ord will be kept of cash expenses and
receipts as we'll as horse and man
labor expended. The county agent
would like to know of any other
farmers of this county who will CO.
operate in this work. It takes little
time, but it is tremendously worth
while.
Below are given some estimated
costs of growing oats and wheat in
estimates were given by farmers but
were not actual records The crop
yields were low in that community
last year. This made the results
somewhat abnormal. Addison county
conditions are different from Orleans
county conditions. Let US see what
it costs us to grow our crops. Then
we may be able to grow them cheaper
or grow more profitable crops. With
hired men scarce and wages high it
is more important than ever before
that all labor be used most effective
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1918-04-24

funds, munitions and men all depend
on and are controlled by the supply Of
food. 1t is, therefore, absolutely nee
essary to produce plenty Of food in
order to win the war. Last year the
farmers of the nation produced large
crops in the aggregate, but the supply
cannot be increased before another
harvest. The substitution of other
foods for those that are suitable for
shipment abroad to feed our own SOL
diers, and to piece out the Allies scant
supply is the duty of every citizen.
Wheat is -eminently the food of
armies. This grain in some form en-
tiers very largely into the rations Of
fighting men, because of the ease
with which it can be transported and
because of it's excellent keeping quail
tiles and high food value. 1t is i'm
portant, then, that wheat be produced
in large quantity and that it be care
fully conserved and then utilized.

COtt0nseed Meal as a Fertilizer.

Owing to the shortage of fertilizing
materials many farmers have been
unable this year to obtain all of their
nitrate of soda and tankage. Those
who are short of tankage may sub
stitute cottonseed meal, using it at
the rate of 200 lbs. of cottonseed for
every 167-lb. bag of tankage which
is needed.
Those farmers who have been un-
able to obtain enough nitrate of soda
may use cottonseed meal estimating
400 to 500 lbs. of cottOnseed to re-
place one 2OO-lb. bag of nitrate. The
quickly available as that in the nj
trate of soda, but as cottonseed is
considered high-grade source of or
ganic nitrogen, it should prove sat-
isfactory substitute for tankage or
nitrate of soda in the way indicated
above.
Cottonseed may also be mixed with
low-grade ready mixed goods to in
crease the nitrogen contents. The
county agent will be glad to assist at
any time in figuring out the right
mixtures if cottonseed meal is used.
Seed Treatment for Dat Smut.
Here are two methods of treating
oats for smut recommended by the
U. S. D. A. Try one of them on your
seed oats this year. Take no chances
with smut.
"Wet Method-Sprinkle seed until
thoroughly moist with solution of 1
pint of ldehyde to 40 gallons of
water, shoveling over repeatedly to
distribute moisture evenly. Forty
gallons will treat 60 bushels. SHOW
ell into a pile and cover with sacks,
canvas or blankets for two hours or
over night. Dry by spreading in thin
layer and stirring occasionally with a
rake. Seed may be sown when dry
enough to run freely through the
drill, setting the drill to sow 2 pecks
or more to the acre, to allow for
swollen condition of grain. If to be
stored for several days or longer, dry
drill, to prevent re-infection."
"Dry Method-Mix 1 pint of for
maldehyde with 1 pint of water and
use in small hand sprayer. Atomizer
sprayers can be purchased for SO to
rs cents. Spray the solution on grain
as this is being shoveled over, holding
sprayer close to grain and taking
care that the mist is we'll distributed.
One stroke of the sprayer gives
enough mist for each shovelful of
grain. One quart Of solution will
treat SO bushels. When all grain is
treated, shovel into a pile and care
fully cover for five hours as directed
under the wet method. The grain
may be sown Immediately after the
treatment, or allowed to air thorough
ly and stored in disinfected sacks or
bins until needed"

EVIDENTLY THE TRUTH HURTS.

The Herald sent up familiar evening when it
said that what The published about the finances

Of course what the Herald really has in mind is that the
publication those facts will hurt the republican ticket with the
voters in the coming election
The fact that says those statements lies is
after ALL beside the mark Let if he Herald has, as it
says, Exposed" those statements as lies.
The Oasis has charged that the head of the republican
administration has violated the law month of his admin
istration.
Has the Herald Exposed" that lie?
The Oasis has charged there outstanding unpaid
warrants to the amount of nearly S3OOOO and not dollar the
treasury to meet them
Has the Herald exposed" that lie?
has charged that the republicans fased when
thy claimed to have wiped out the deficit
Has the Herald exposed" that lie?
AS matter of fact one OF those charges mas oeen
proved either from the official figures or from the columns OF
the Herald, or BOTH
The Oasis doesn't believe these conditions will nure
Nogaes in the long would take than two years OF
republican msmanagement to permanently njure Nogaes
But if these facts and their publication, should me the

tions?
No the truth evidently hurts the republicans If, incden-

will place the blame belongs the shoulders OF those
responsible for the conditions.
