year after year. Many other insect
pests can be eradicated by crop 70
tatiOn.
Nearly every plant disease in
creases in activity when the same
crop is planted year after year. If
these diseases do not have the same
host plant for two years in success
sion, they are unable to gain head
way.
In adopting a system of rotation,
the following things must be consid-
cred:
1. Climatic condition.
2. Soil condition.
8. The relation which the various
crops bear to each other.
Legume crops-red clover, sweet
clover, cowpeas, soy beans, etc,
should be rotated with grain crops.
Legume crops improve the texture
of the soil, add humus and nitrogen,
prevent erosion, insure larger yields
from crops that follow them.
1t is not often that One-crop farm
ing pays for even n short period. 1t
v pays in the long run. There
Is but one safe system-crop rota-
ton and Investigation.
Do nct raise just grain alone.
Grow legumes. Plow the stubble UNI
der. Raise live stock. Put the ma
nure back on the land. Sell your
grain crops In the form of beef, pork,
and dairy products.
Poverty is the inevitable heritage
of the farmer who practices the one
crop system year after year and
hauls his crop to market. He rcbs
hin soil, robs himself and robs his
children who must farm the land
after he is gone.

Why Swift & Company Handle
Poultry, Eggs, Butter and Cheese
Swift & Company went into the pro-
duce business because they saw a
crying need for the kind of service they
were equipped to perform.
The produce business was in chaos
Collecting, transportation, preparation
and distribution was hit or miss,
with delay, deterioration and loss ON
every hand.
The farmer was at the mercy Of an
uncertain, localized market He had
no way of reaching through to the
people who needed what he was
raising for them. There was no prem
ium upon improving his stocks, for
grading was lax or lacking.
The consumer had to accept produce
that, as a rule. had no known respot,-
sible name behind it. He had no way
of knowing how long the eggs or the
butter he was buying had been lying
around in miscellaneous lots in the back
room of a country store. Much Of the
poultry was not properly refrigerated
before shipment or properly protected
by refrigeration in transit
Swift & Company's initiative brought
system to this chaos. Their organiza-
ton, equipment, and experience in
handling perisl1able food products were
already adjusted to the task. Their
refrigerator cars, branch houses, cep-
trail points, f~ar-reaching connections,
trained sales force, supplied just what
was demanded.
Now the farmer has a daily cash
market in touch with the nations
needs with better prices. S~tarn1ardi-
cation makes better produce more
profitable. More consumes ara served
with better, fresher, finer Goodstufffs.
Nothing suffers from this save
inefficiency, which has no claim upon
public support.

PRICES NOT CUT BY
LARGER PRODUCTION
interesting Figures Given by b.
reau of Crop Estimates.
Abnormal Conditions Created by War
and Other Causes Have imposed
Special Relationship of Prices
and Value.

prepared by Che United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
1t is often said that when the farm
er has a bumper crop the price is so
low that the total value of the crop
is below that of usual crop, but the
abnormal conditions created by the
war and other causes have imposed a
special relationship of crop prices and
total value TO the production of 1918
in comparison with 1917.
In the estimates of the bureau of
crop estimates it appears that larger
production has been followed by low
or price and lower total value only
for barley, cabbage, onions, and broom
corn. while larger production has been
followed by higher price and hence
by higher total value for wheat buck
wheat, flaxseed, rice. sweet potatoes,
tobacco, apples, oranges. and cram
berries.
As is often the fact, lower produc-
ton is associated with higher price
and higher total value for oats, hay,
sugar beets, peaches, and sorghum
raised for sirup, but exceptions to this
relationship are found in potatoes and
hops, both of which had lower pro-
duction and lower price.
Rye, cotton, the kafirs and peanuts.
has! higher production in 1918 than
in 1917 and lower price, but not low
| enough to prevent O higher total crop
value; whereas these conditions were
reversed for corn and beans, both of
which had smaller crops and higher
prices, but not high enough to prevent
a lower total crop value.

Streams ponds, irrigation bitches

The temperature of such water sell

of more or less polluting matter is GER

mails are found therein. In thousands

directly from irrigation bitches. In
other instances a cistern, often without

reservoirs are necessary to collect and
