"A. J.. Warner, superintendent OF

1T is not unusual for the man
who has stored his car all winter TO

John Tainsh, general sales manager
for the Mitchell Motor Co, inc, of
Racine, Wis. But how many peo-

coming of spring and summer,
there is a definite change in the

HOGGING OFF CORN
CROP SAVES LABOR
Can be Made of Great Service
in Harvesting Crop
Next Fall.

Farmers in st. Joseph county
can reduce the labor of harvesting
their corn next fall considerably
and prOftably if they make plans
now to hog off larger part of it
than usual, according to County
Agent Bordner. He estimates that
each farmer who arranges his corn
planting so that he can let the hogs
harvest part of il next fall will save
at least a days labor for each acre
Of corn hogged off. This means that
if each farmer in the county who
grows corn and feeds it to hogs
were to hog off 5 acres Of corn there
would be a saving of II, 800 work
days:
The possibilities of saving labor
on the farm next fall by hog5ing
off some corn" says the county
agent, makes it worth while for
every farmer in the county to plan
now to harvest a part of his corn in
this way. He can add TO his profit
from doing this by planting a field
or part OF a field as early as posi-
BILE and sowing soybeans with the
corn.
This method Of handling part
OF she corn crop not only saves la
Dor, but it is also economical and
profitable as hog feeding trials in
all parts of the state have shown.
The practice of hogging off corn
ought to be greatly extended next
fall, for we must use every possible
means 10 reduce farm work dur
ing the war. so that the limited Ia
Dor supply will be directed into the
most necessary and productive
channels"
Practical demonstrations in hog
ging off corn, conducted by the
Purdue extension department in
cooperation with leading farmers
in the state and county agents. also
have shown that greater profits
are procured from this method OF
harvesting and utilizing the corn
crop than from most other meth
eds. Through these demonstrations
il has been found that hogs gain
more rapidly and economically
when fed in this way than when
fed by hand and the cost Of har-
vcsting the corn is saved--an itea.
which reaches 10 10 II cents per
bushel

MOTOR CAR BUSINESS
HOLDING UP nlCELY,
ACCORDING TO RE0S

Il have been searching every
where for the fellow who said the
automobile business was going 10 be
slow this spring, but so far i have
been unable 10 locate anyone who
will now own up 10 the authorship
OF that statement" exclaimed +. H.
Akers, sales manager OF the REQ
Motor Car Co. on his return from
visit 10 various REQ distributors
throughout the country.
Our sales records show that bust
ness has opened 10 thus year about
two weeks earlier than usual; and
that despite one Of the most severe
winters we have ever had. orders
are rolling in from everywhere and
IL we could make them and then
ship them, this would be our banner
year.
Nor is this condition confined TO
the REQ product. In all fairness /
must say that practically all repu-
table makers are enjoying the same
demand for their product-in fact
there is a general and a very heavy
cver-demand.
"Of course prices are higher all
the way along the line, but, on the
other hand, everybody's earning ca
pacity and profits are greater.
Not only that. but the need is
greater. Presumably nobody buys
an automobile, and especially az this
time of gear, for pleasure. Fully
80 percent of the purchases are
made under the spur OF necessity
a necessity that will brook no delay.
In some cases perhaps buyers
are imply protecting themselves
against further advances in price
which they realize must come; and
others art trying to get in ahead of
the spring rush. But in all cases
the indications are that necessity is
the principal incentive and that the
demand is not confined TO any one
section OF the country, but is gener-
al.
The shipping problem is discour-
aging. A very large percentage of
the cars and trucks have TO be
driven overland and dealers. realiz-
ing what the spring freshets will
mean to the roads, have taken all we
could give them during the winter
months when cross country driving
is easier.
I'VE all dread the next few weeks
wher showers are bound to re
suit in washed out bridges and
hub deep mud. But there is one
consolation even in that from the
factory's standpoint, and that is,
there may be a slight letup in the
demand which will give us a chance
to get another breath and try and
prepare for the tremendous rush
that is 10 bound to ensue the minute
the roads dry up"
