SEATTLE NEEDS
STICK PUNCH

When the Seattle club ~
built up for next year. by some
hook or crook. The club must
secure q couple Of men who
can wsIIop the pill. Every
other club In the league has
nj least one man who Is apt TO
tear the cover Off the ball when
he hits. Portland lacks real
punch. too. but the team. as
whole. hit harder than the 10
caIs. Pete Compton Is the only
consistent hitter with a walIop
on the local squad. and he hasn't
been hitting as hard ~ he
did nj the start Of the year.
What difference II would
make In the local club " we
had man like koerner, Of the

BIG POTATO YIELD
Western Canada Man Raised 600
Bushels on Two Acres.
He Thinks He Did Pretty Well, but
There Were Even Larger Crops
in the Neighborhood-Live
Stock Men Prosper.

AS by-prOduCt the yield of potatoes
on the farm of Ben Pawson of Coal
dale, Alberta, was somewhat of a pay
Ing proposition. Coaldale is In the
Medicine Hat district of Alberta. Med
iclDe Hat is place, pictured in the
mind of many Americans, where the
weather man holds high carnival. and
when he wants to put little life or
spirit into the people just moves the
mercury down a few notches. The
rascal has thus given Medicine Hat q
rather unenviable place on the map.
Put II isn't half as bad as it is pic
tCred Anyway, Ben PawsOn likes it.
Last year he grew six hundred BUSH
els of potatoes on two acres OF land
that had no special preparation, and
only the usual precipitation. or rain,
as the less cultured would call it.
When he couldn't work at his hay or
grain, because Of the damp mornings,
he gave them some attention. And
then evenings between supper and
chores and bedtime he gave them some
work. Anyway his yield was six hun
dred bushels, and he sold the whole
lot for $2S5. Ben Is satisfied. Still
there were larger yields than this In
the neighborhOOd.
If one might speak of hogs in the
same breath In which you speak of po-
tatoes, there is nothing in the ethics
of literature that would create de-
barment. Taking advantage Of this
license 1t will not be out of place to
state that large potato yields are not
the only feature of interest in this
new and interesting country. Amongst
others hogs are having good deal of
attention. Not long ago, hogs reached
the $500 mark On the Calgary market.
1t doesn't cost much to raise a hog
and very little to bring him to weight
of 200 pounds. Don't cost much Ger
tainly not. But what about the man who
recently paid $3.50 for Duroc Jersey
Boar? That was all right. That man
knew what he was doing. He was do
ing what a great many other farmers
in Western Canada are doing today.
He Is acting on the old saw" that
at costs no more to raise good crit
ter than a poor one" That is the rea-
son that Western Canada is looming
large in the live stock world. The best
Is none too good. The same may be
raid of horses, cattle, yes, and sheep,
too. The very best sires and dams
of the best breeds are purchased. And
while big prices are paid it Is felt that
the demand for pure-bred stock at
home and abroad will bring returns
which will warrant any reasonable
price that may be asked.-Advertise-

! farm organizations has greatly in
creased, and the tendency at present
| Is toward the formation of smaller CO.
operative units and the purchase of
small outfits. This comes from the ne
! cessity for more economical use of
labor and the advent of the farm trac-
| tor, the power of which can be well
utilized TO run small thrasher,
which, complete with a wind stacker,
self-feeder and weigher, costs about
| 81 200. Most of the farmers clubs ara
small, so that all members may get
their thrashing finished in about fiji
teen days. All thraShing is completed
in seasOnable time, so that the grain
may be saved to best advantage.
There are two general methods of
ring cooperation, the most common in
vOlving the hiring of thrashlng out
fit, the other It's purchase.
Thrashing rings are beneficial mas
much as the thrashing calendar in Il
neighborhood may be so arranged that
the work can be carried out with the
least possible loss of time in moving
from farm to farm. AS a job nears
completion the first men through,
knowing their assignments in the next
place, may go there Immediately and
have the grain ready to thrash by the
time the outfit arrives and is set up.
No time Is lost either in contracting
for an outfit or in securing thrash
ing crew. Certain men may be used
to best advantage by assigning them
to one kind of work for the season.
Unless the weather man prevents
thraShing continues until all the jobs
are completed in the circle, and thus
little extra work is required in shift
ing wagon boxes or hay leaders. Usu-
ally the thrashing season is greatly
shortened and this favOrs the timely
completion of the subsequent fall
work, such as blowing, seeding, dis
tributing manure, and so on. The
thrashing ring reduces the work of the
housewife, as there are less men to
feed during the harvest season.
When. ring buys all the machinery
new-separator, power, clover huller
and possibly grain shelter or 81
lage cutter-and builds a shed to house
the implements, the total capital under
prewar prices required usually
amounts to $1,000 or $4,000. When it
is possible for the company to hire
good engine or some other part of the
equipment, it may not be advisable to
buy.
Thrashing for the various members
of the ring is performed on business
basis, an average days work being re-
garded as 1000 bushels of oats, or
about 1000 bushels of wheat or rye.
Record is kept of the time put in by
each laborer and the costs of the work
are distributed among the members
ON the basis of the amount of grain
thrashed. Farmers interested in the
organization and promotion of thrash
ing rings may obtain copies of the rub

Unreliabiity of custom thrashers,
labor complications which often arise
when two outfits reach neighbOrhoOd
the same day, the expense of custom
thrashing. the careless and eXtrava-
CANT work of some hired machines, and
similar factors have caused grain
growers In the corn belt to organize
cooperative thrashing rings for the
purchase, maintenance and efficient
operation of thrashing machinery.
Benefits of the thrashing ring are
shown in an instance reported by the
United States department of agricul-
ture. One large thrashing ring which
has been particularly successful and
which has met all expenses and paid
for itself in four years out of the mon
ey ordinarily paid by the members for
custom thrashing Is the Up-to-Date
Thrashing company of Livingston
county, Illinois, which is composed of
ten members who own 10 farms. The
partnership capital originally tOtaled
1920, and the equipment included u
2O-hOrsepOwer steam engine, a water
tank, separator, with Il 34-inch cy-
Under, corn shelter and a second
hand silage cutter, which has been re-
ing force usually employed in this
ring for field work consists of ten men
with teams to haul bundles; five
pitchers in the field; three men with
teams to haul the thrashed grain two
men to help unload the grain at the
barn; one man on the stack; one man
to operate the stacker; one man to
clean up about the machinery; one
water boy; and three men with the
thrashing outfit. This involves force
of q men. A ring of this size demands
capable management to insure sue
cess.
On Smaller Scale.
A smaller thrashlng ring organized
last year in Fayette county, Ohio, con-
sists of three landowners, whose part
nership capital consists of Sl,OtO
which represents the cost of small
22-inch separator, with a cloyer-seed
attachment the power being furnished
by a 1924 farm tractor. These farms
aggregate 400 acres Of small grain, a
little outside thrashing for hire being
done each year. Last year $500 bush
els Of oats, 5000 bushels of wheat and
100 bushels Of clover seed were
thrashed. The ordinary crew was
made up of five men, with teams and
wagons to haul bundles; two men,
with 125-bushel wagon beds to haul
grain three miles; one man to manage
the outfit, and boy to help. Bundle
wagons were used to replace two or
three field pitchers, while the use OF
gas engine also dispenses with the
water boy. The engineer has time to
help considerably about the separator.
With this small force this outfit was
able to thrash and deliver to the ele-
vator, three miles distant, an average
Of approximately $50 bushels of wheat
a day.
During the last two or three years

compensates for any loss of beauty re-
