WHAT HOGS DID FOR
TWO IOWA BOYS

/ A story comes down from the north
which is full of inspiration and en-
enlargement for the numerous pig
club boys of Florida, who are blazing
the way to make this state one of
the foremost stock states in the
Union, position to which its many
natural advantages fully justify it in
aspiring. Four years ago in Dewitt,
Ia, lived a couple of kid brothers
named Johnny and Billy Turner.
They were just average boys, no
smarter nor more ambitious than
thousands of Florida boy crackers"
They wanted a bicycle and their faith
er gave them $25 to make the pur-
chase. What led them to buy a SOW
instead of the coveted bicycle we
do not know, but that is what they
did with their s25. They became
swine breeders. and were exhibitors
at the great International Stock
Show in Chicago.
Nor were they small exhibitors.
either. In four years these two boys
of 16 and Is respectively, have be,
come the owners Of a herd of high
grade hogs numbering 600 hogs and
valued al $4,000 They could buy
a carload of bicycles from their prof
its if they cared to, and still have a
very comfortable balance in the bank.
They might even buy couple of -
cylinder automobiles if they so wish
without materially reducing the sur
plus. But we do not believe they
viii do it. The remarkable success
they have made of their first business
venture shows they have the bust
ness instinct strongly developed, and
they are not likely to be led off into
any foolishness.
They have chosen a safe and GER
tain road to wealth, but they have
not by any means monopolized the
way. The same broad and easy way
lis open to thousands of Florida
youngsters, and it is good to know
that many of them are getting into it.
They have many advantages over the
Iowa youngsters, a better climate to
begin with. shorter winters requiring
less feeding and housing, a greater
variety Of forage plants and easily
grown feeds. The state papers are
full of the successes made by the pig
club boys None of them yet have
achieved such brilliant success as
those Iowa lads, but we have yet TO
hear Of the first failure. And the fu-
ture is full Of promise. The demand
for all meats is far in excess Of the
supply and viii remain so for years
to come with resulting high prices.
The whole state is Just beginning TO
realize the immense possibilities that
lie in the Improvement of its stock.
and the pioneers in that movement
will be sure Of their reward. And
the pig club boys will be the pioneers.

CANNING CLUB AND HOME DEMONSTRATION
DEPARTMENT
Edited by Caroline Moorhead, Home Demonstration
Agent.


Many men and women of Marion
county, and elsewhere, have had their
attention called to the real value OF
home canning by the little girl in
the home who was a member of the
canning club, or a neighbor girl who
was.
1t has meant wonderful thing
both in an educational and financial
way. Educational because it involves
a study of the scientific side of the
question as well as training the girl
into many ways of thrift and econ
omy
Such detail is calculated to create
on the girls mind love Of the
work because she more thoroughly
understands why certain processes
should be followed than if she were
just told 10 do certain things.
Let the home be a sort Of practice
house for the girl in that home, and
she will usually know how TO man
age one of her own when that time
comes.
We are especially proud of that
particular feature on the educational
side of the work.
The financial side Of the question
needs little mention.
Enough to say girls and women who
never had money of their very own
before now have bank accounts and
savings accounts. A large number 0f
girls are being educated on funds
saved as club members, and what is
best of all, there are more contented
girls and women on the farm than
heretofore. and the homes wherever
canning club work has been done, or
being done. is usually we'll stocked
with all kinds of canned and other
wise preserved goods which tend not
ony TO save but to make the living
more enjoyable.

territory will be fully covered during

meetings will be short and to the
point. The main point to be emphas
lied by the speakers is the necessity
of growing more food, feed and forage
crops this season than ever.
The increased production of staple
crops necessary for 1919 has been
worked out on basis OF possible pro.
duction and profit to the farmers.
County and home demonstration
agents have local matters in charge
and will announce dates and places
of meetings at an early date.

that particular item got over on an
other page. possibly a man in the Of
fee was taken with the idea and
wanted the glory of launching the
thought, However. we are willing
for the men to get the glory, if they
will see that We women get the va

And it is too often the fault Ct
the women themselves if they go on

Furthermore. the farm is in no wise

Why do we see so many more bro

than we do men? 1t is due of course,
to a number OF reasons. But one OF
them is that about the average wO-
mans work is an endless grind-0o-
ing exactly the same kind of work
day after day, from early till late
and no tools with which to work that
would either tighten or make work
more interesting This is one of the
reasons for women breaking down

her daily rounds Of work as a druid

She owes it to herself. her children
and TO the community in which she

women help themselves better than
in organizing local community clubs

other words, creating the demand for
household conveniences and lavor-sav

Take An inventory
Every farmer should ascertain at
the beginning Of the year just wnere
he stands financially. During the
year just closed property has been
bought, sold and exchanged Il is
by making an inventory that the
farmer is abe to determine whether
he is worth more or less than he was
a year ago. He should know whether
he is conducting a losing or paying
business and this can De determined
only by comparing each years DOS
sessions with those Of the year be-
fore
Keep Accounts
Farming is business the same as
I banking or running a mercantile es-
adjustment. There are products to
be sold and. articles to be bought
The keeping Of a record of these and
/ determining the relation Of the outgo
to the income are important consid-
erations on every farm. The farmer
should know what his income is and
just how he is disposlng of it. He
can know this only by keeping books
and the first of the new year is the
proper time to begin.
Snort Courses

makes it necessary for him to eouip
himself professionally. Not being
able TO turn aside from his business
to pursue regular courses in the DIFF

the opportunities offered BY the short

GERMAN OFFICERS DISPUTE
Hugo Haase Attacked Methods Of Gus.
tave Noske.

Weimar. Friday, March % tBy the
Associated Press In the national as
sembly to-day, Hugo Hsase, the indie.
pendent socialist leader, violently at.
tackled Gustave Noske, the minister Of
defense for his methods in suppressing
the recent strikes, the shooting Of Spar
tacans and other alleged abuses Of pow.
er, claiming that the defense minister's
course constituted a return to imperial
ism.
Herr Haase also attacked Chancellor
Scheidemann for understanding Sundays
demonstration in Berlin in favor OF Cen
eral Ludendorff declaring this showed
that the present military leaders Of the
nation were standing solidly behind In-
dendorif, supported By the conservatives
and other parties Of the right, as well as
a portion of the bourgeoisie.
Herr Haase, who was frequently inter
rupted, declared in favor Of entering into
immediate relations with Russia, saying
that the Ukraine would soon be able to
supply Germany with raw material and
later with food He said, however, that
the independent socialists would not CON
slider a treaty with Russia as one mill
tating against England or the entente in
general. They merely desired the end Of
the war to come, he declared.
| Herr Haase asserted that Matthias Err
berger, the centrist leader, falsifed when
he told Of a cabinet meeting held on Dee.
! II, at which Independent socialist non
members Of the government who were
| present, agreed with a decision to send a
note to the entente urging the necessity
for common fight against bolshevism
by Germany and the entente.
Herr Erzberger, in reply to this, in
| sisted that his statements were true.
Herr Noske, in his reply to Herr Haase,
charged the independents with being the
originatoTs of the Spartacan machina-
lions and said the government would
place before the assembly all the facts in
connection with the "murderous acts" Of
the Spartaeans.
