PREFERS HIS CROPS TO QUAIL
SHOOTING.
Iowa Man Taught a Lesson When
Grasshoppers Ate His Flax
Fields.

McGregor, Ia-"I have shot my
last quail or prairie chicken" said
a McGregor gun and rod elubman
yesterday when the subject of the
present attempt of the Iowa legis-
lature to repeal the closed season on
quail and prairie chickens was under
discussion.
Il have killed good many quail
and chickens in my life, but never
again. had my lesson last summer.
/ have quarter section of land in
North Dakota and last season had
it broken up and seeded to fax.
About harvest time went up to see
the crop. My tenant met me with the
news: we had a dandy stand, but
yesterday the grasshoppers came
and we'll be lucky if they leave any
thing
II went out to the field and saw
a sight I'll never forget. The flax
was actually covered with grasshop-
pers, millions Of them, and they were
making a clean sweep of the pref
test field of ripe flax you ever saw.
Il drove back to the hotel feeling
blue as indigo. There l got to talking
to fellow who said chicken shoot
ing was good and suggested We go
out for a shoot and I'd forget my
troubles. Well, we went and shot
half a dozen. / dressed a couple of
them and when l opened them they
were full of grasshoppers.
Enough said. I'm not shooting
any more prairie chickens"

Where Will We Start to Out Prices

Where Will We Start to Out Prices.
Fifty-one million in buildings is
not going to be spent in Chicago
because lumber is so high. The lum-
her people have the lumber, but
they won't sell it for less. How are
they going to make any profit on
lumber they don't sell. Ought they,
then, to decide to sell it without
profit, and would that be all the
same to them. as keeping it and 60
ing without profit that way?
The lumber men say high wages
ts the trouble. Then it must be that
they have quit hiring men at all.
il they have quit hiring, what are
these men doing? Can they live
without working. If they do not
earn can they buy farmers eggs and
meat? If the farmer can't sell his
eggs and meat, what is he going to
DO? He can't take less for his eggs
and meat. He is paying too much
for help. too, he says.
IT looks like a deadlock to us,
with the only prospect for relief be-
ing in the governments breaking
in with a dictation of lower prices
on something or other, to get the
thing started.
We would start it on bunch of
war profiteers, they ought to stand
the first cut.-New Hampton
Gazette.

Soy Beans for Profit

A. H. McCollum, of Henderson coun-
ty, drilled solid with a wheat drill one
bushel to the acre of soy beans on d
acres last season. He cured them on
hollow-shock hay frames and saved IL
tons of dry hay to the acre. A part OF
it wss sold in early fall for $50 per ton
and later there was demand for al
most any amount at a much higher
price. This land produced more feed
to the acre from soy beans than it would
have yielded in any other crop including
corn." he says.
]. W. Stusrt, of Chester county,
planted beans in 10 acres of bis corn.
The beans were cut out by hand md
one.hslf of them threshed 81 bushels OF
seed, the other half baled IL tons OF
hay. The corn yielded go barrels on

HOW SHEEP AND WOOL ARE
HANDLED IN TENNESSEE

The sheep breeding business as pur-
sued in Tennessee Is, frst, an early !
market lamb proposition in the basin
and better rim land sections Of thel
state; and, second, eve and wetherl
production business In the mountain
and plateau sections Of the state.
For early market lamb production,l
the farmers bay the ewes from the
mountain and plateau sections West
ern range ewes and southern ewes
breed to mutton type rams to wean In
January, February, and March. Aim
TO have bulk Of lamb crop come in
February. The flocks are wintered
principally on winter-growing cover
crops-wheat, rye, barley, winter oats,
and crimson clover, with some Of the
legumlnous hays and little grain dur
ing the most severe part of the winter.
The lambs are sold from the ewes IN
June, and are mostly handled BY the
local stock dealers.
In some four or five counties OF the
state there are good, live, active CO.
operation livestock shipping associa-
tions that are getting good results for
the farmers thru their shipping organi-
cations. The wool is handled in much
the same manner as lambs. There are
few good registered fiocks Of the
mutton breeds OK sheep in the state.

What Joelton Accomplished

The effects of the people Of a commu-
nifty meeting together once in while
for the betterment of conditions in the
community are being noticed at Joel
ton, Tenn, where. on February Il, q
meeting was held to consid-
er agricultural and educa ional devel-
opment. The people of Joelton have
been interested in the Joelton school,
and in the farm demonstration work be-
ing conducted by Ebb Thomas. the
county agent. They made it point on
this occasion to discuss the program
they expected to follow during the year.
A visitor who was present at that time
called attention to the slogan which was
on one Of the blackbosrds. The Good
American Plays Fair" The spirit OF
this quotation pervAdes the community
and is exemplified 10 the leader, Princi-
pal McMurtry. who is likewise presi-
dent of the community club. The re-
suits of this community gathering are
being seen in an increased number OF
demonstrations in farm crops and II
livestock. Likewise orchards are being
pruned and sprayed that were never
touched before. The discussion Of
school problems has created more inter
est among the people in what the schoo
could do In the community, and conse'
ouentIy extended improvements are
being planned.

The Bird Dog And The Bird Nest
(By W. D. Howser)

One of the worst enemies of the quail
in the State of Tennessee, is the unre-
strained hunting dog during the nesting
season.
After the hunting season is over,
many sportsmen, who live in the cities,
towns, and villages. send their dogs out
into the country to recuperate during
the spring and summer. These dogs
are permitted to run at large on the
farm, and spend much of their time in
seeking out the quail and its nest. when
found.
The farmers and sportsmen, who feel
that no farm is complete, unless the
Bob White is building and nesting there
and that nc country home is complete,
unless through its windows can be heard
the call of the Bob-White. also permit
their hunting dogs to run at large.
One dog on l6O acre farm in Mont
gomery county, destroyed % quail nests.
and more than 100 eggs, in less than
two weeks, in 1918.
All lovers of wild life, should coop
crate ia protecting our most valuable
bird, and those who enjoy day out in
the open with dog and gun should be
the first to do so, and should set the
example of preventing the hunting dog
from running at large, during the nest
ing season, by preventing their own
dogs from doing SO.
