! Care Of HOGS.

The Farm Specialist has just re-
turned from a trip in which he visited
County Agents and farmers Of three
different counties.
We are glad to report that prospects
In Delaware County are Just as good
II not better than In some counties
visited to the west OF us. Corn es-
pecially Is we'll along considering the
seaon we have had. The oat crop has
been largely harvested and the spring
wheat Is turning fast
One thing OF merit that we noticed
Is the progress that farmers are max
ing in fixing places to take care OF
the hogs during the hot weather.
Some have provided cement hog wal
lows which were covered with an Inn
provised covering OF frame work on
poles and matched with straw. One
hog raiser In Buchanan county says
that this Is critical time Of the year
with fat hogs, especially to insure
that they have sufficient water. There
are busy days on the farm and when
we get to harvesting and threshing we
neglect the livestock considerably.
Sufficient water should be provided
for the hogs at all times" In places
whore the farmers do not have rum
ring water or connection with stor-
axe tank for the hogs. which was filled
It regular intervals. One shipper said
that It was important when shipping
carload lots Of hogs that the cars be
cleaned out and good layer Of sand
put In which should be thoroughly
wet down. This with frequent drench-
Ing on the road will help to reduce
losses.
There is not much activity apparent
from the standpoint Of buying up
! Of the market. However. we observed
feeder cattle, owing to the uncertainty
accommodating quite q number OF young
cattle. Farmers interviewed seemed
to believe that future prospects IN
the cattle business would largely CEN
ter around production Of baby beeves
and the fattening Of yearlings ana
two-year- olds that could be bought
at the right price.
The Farm Bureau is going to hold
Z series Of meetings over the county
this fall to take up a study Qt the beef
production, under conditions we are
facing this season. When the schedule
Of these meetings is made public
farmers should avail themselves OF,
the opportunity to learn more about

in debt and must study more than
ever to make a successful manage
ment OF the farm if he ever expects to
pay OF the principal.
It is hoped that this land craze is of
short duration and that the specula-
tive tendency where 1t deals with the
necessities of life, and when farm land
lie involved it is dealing with one of
the most fundamental necessities OF
mankind.
Pure Seed.
The Farm Bureau Specialist would
like to get the names Of farmer who
are raising pure seed grains on their
farms for example, Iowa los and
Iowa 103 oats; good strains Of spring
and winter wheat and rye. As far as
time permits he will inspect the grain
and seed stock to be sold In the
county and exported IL necessary.
Men will gladly pay premium for
bureau are especially asked to call II
they have pure bred seed on their
in order that it may be inspected.
This movement Of inspecting pure
bred has grown to such proportions in
Wisconsin and Michigan that hun
dreds Of farmers are now listed as
producers Of pure seeds. They have
developed a large trade al over the
United States through their combined
efforts and interest in this matter.
The farm specialists has noticed the
tendency for farm seeds to be badly
mixed, largely the results Of threshing
machines. In Canada there Is law
to the effect that threshing machines
should be cleaned before moving from
one farm to another. In this manner
seeds are not mixed. The pactice is
worthy of the consideration OF the
farmers Of Delaware county.
The Potato Leafhopper.
This little green fly-like insect has
appeared in enormous abundance on
the potato fields Of Iowa this season
and is already causing the lower leave
to turn yellow, roll up, and burn on
the tips and margins. As they be-
come more numerous these leaves will
entirely burn up and in serious cases
the entire plant will burn and die.
The little green hoppers live over
winter as adults and fly to the potato
plants in the spring, laying their eggs
on the stem and midribs Of the leaves
a few at time for month or more.
II the potato plants are growing rap
idly at the time these young hatch out
there will be no young ones on top so
so that burning always appear on the
leave below the top until such a time
as the potato plants stop growing.
The little leaf hoppers can run readily
but do not fly or even hop until near

Farm Land Values

4
The land boom has penetrated the
entire corn belt and reports come
from over the country Of fabulous
prices being paid. Even Delawafe
County has assumed its proportion Of
this boom. There are some facts
about land booms that should be kept
in mind by the farmers. These facts
have been largely deveoped from ex-
perience gained in the past land
booms.
While 1t is acknowledged that Della
ware County was due to an advance
Of price when compared with sur
rounding farm land in the state. 1t Is
apparent that the limit has been
reached in many sections. We should
take into consideration the following
factors:
A slow and gradual advance in
value is, conducive to progressive ag-
riculture but a rapid and over-esti-
mated valuation is detrimental be-
cause, ny farm worth $50 sold for
$3.50 does not make 1t produce one
pound more Of corn per acre. On the
other hand it increases the taxes not
only on the farm directly involved but
also on adjoining territory. A survey
OF the situation throughout Iowa indt-
Gates that the owners can make only
about three or four per cent on his
investment. A two hundred dollar
acre farm should give returns equiva-
lent to twelve dollars rental value,
but II this same farm Is not able to
produce crops which will give great
enough margin for the renter to pay
such rental value the farm will lie
idle.
Farm values should be based upon
the fundamental principles that gov
ern any manufacturing plant. First:
what will it return on the Investment?
Second. how long will plant pro-
duce before being replaced?
The average production Of corn in
q + 4. 81 :
Iowa Is IS bushels per acre; oats, 80
bushels: wheat, 20 bushels; hay. IN
ton. It costs on two hundred acre
land $2S to produce an acre Of corn;
$21 for wheat and f18 for oats. II the
marginal profit is limited by the pro-
ductivity of the soil. A highly pro-
ductive farm is worth double the price
Of poor one that will take years TO
get in highly productive state.
A man who sells farm today at
the inflated prices, even though IT is
double what 1t was two years ago. Is
not much farther along II he intends
to purchase another farm because he
is again buying at an inflated price.
man who Is buying a
farm for a home Is liable to be heavily

i Where seaaulIs Roost.

Seagulls do not always roost on the
water, as persons familiar with the
places say that thousands of gulls
roOst in trees on Big Duck, Little
Duck and Old Man islands In Maine,
and not only roost in trees, but nest
In them as well. The same is true Of
many other islands along the Maine
coast. The gulls of Boston harbor and
Whereabouts have particular roosting
places on the water.
