The screen production of the fam

NATIONAL HAY AND GRAIN
SHOW OFFERS LARGE
PRIZES.

The National Hay and Grain Show
International Livestock Expedition at
Chicago from November 20 to Deem
Der A, has offered many valuable
prizes for exhibits this year.
This show is of national reputation
and samples of farm products are
sent from all parts of the United
States. The country has been divi-
ded into regional districts so as to
make competition equal, so that pro-
ducts from one region will compete
with those grown in similar region.
This is particularly true in the case
of corn, as it would be unfair to the
growers of corn in the northern tier
of States to have to compete on an
equal basis with those growing corn
In the central and southern states.
The approximate total prize money
offered in the various classes in
cludes $4,000 for corn; $1,000 for oats;
$500 for wheat; $500 for barley;
$500 for rye; $500 for hay; and $1,000
for small seeds and beans.
The entries for corn requires ten
ears, except in the single ear classes;
for grains, such as wheat, oats, bar
ley, field peas, oe peck is needed; for
small seeds, such as clover, alfalfa,
and timothy, four quarts is requird.
Idaho farmers have excellent
chances to carry off many of the
bot ~
the best crops grown in the whole
country. The corn grown in the Boise
Valley and Twin Falls tract can easily
hold its own with corn grown in Iowa
and Illinois. Our wheat, oats, barley
and peas are also Of excellent quail
ity.
There are few states where con-
ditions are favorable for the produc-
ton of clover and alfalfa seed for
an excellent color and quality. Idaho
is favored by these conditions, so that
if the samples are properly chosen,
there is little double but that they
would receive prizes.
1t is necessary for the exhibitor to
prepare the samples properly. All
noxious and other weed seeds should
be removed, foreign material, and mix
lures of varieties should be elimina-
ted. By securing samples of good
weight and color, chances are good
for their placing high in the compe-
tition
Those interested in sending sam
pies to the shows at Chicago November !;
20 to December should write to
Prof R. K Bennett at the Univer-
sity, Moscow, at once, as other infor

TWIN FALLS FARM SURVEY

The Farm Management Depart
ment of the University of Idaho, in
cooperation with office of Farm
Management, U. S. Department Of
Agriculture, is now laying plans to
place a crew of five men at Twin
Falls Idaho to take records covering
the business of 25O farms for the
crop year 1920. These records will
be taken during the latter part of
November and December. Mr.. Byron
Hunter will be in charge of the party.
This is what is termed a "continu
Gus" farm survey. Owing to fluctu-
ations in crop yields, prices received
for farm products and the various
items of farm expenses, it is deemed
advisable to repeat the survey each
year for at least five years. Each
years data will be studied and tabu-
lated separately, and, at the close Of
the five year period, averages will
be compiled for the five vars as a
whole. In this way basic, reliable
data will be secured that should be of
inestimable value in the future de-
velopment of irrigated farming in
Southern Idaho
Two hundred of the records taken
last November and December for the
crop year 1919 have been tabulated.
Some of the averages for these 200
farms are as follows:
Value of real estate per acre $372;
size of farm 1878 acres; tillable land
66.1 acres; acres in crops 61.9; work
horses per farm AZ; total farm re-
ceipts $4931; farm expenses $2254;
farm income (receipts less expenses)
$2677; shelter and food furnished the
farm family 1857 (this is exclusive
of food products used in boarding
farm labor); labor earnings Of the
operator (farmer) 1899 (this is what
is left after paying farm expenses
and allowing percent for the use
Of the capital invested); earnings Of
the capital invested z per cent.
The study of these 200 farms also
shows (1) that the farms ranging
around 80 acres were very much more
profitable than either larger or
smaller farms; (2) that of the three
nter-tilled crops, potatoes was by
ar the most profitable crop grown
n 1919 and beets the least; (3) that
wheat is much better adapted to the
arge farms than the small farms;
~ that it cost approximately $1.92
,er bushel to product wheat, whereas,
he average price received was $1.84

Do Not Buy Expensive Food Driers.
The purchase of expensive factory
made driers for fruits and vegetables
often calls for an expenditure of sew
eral times the amount necessary to
secure good drier of either the home
made or factory-made type, according
to the United States Department of
Agriculture, which has made study
of the best types of driers for home
use. The department has had is at

times what it would cost to con-

iners are everywhere manfiesting in
increased food production should re-
suit in increased use of driers, the de-
partment belives that a large money
expenditure of such equipment ordin-
arily is not necessary.
For the benefit of those who pre-
suit in increased use of driers, the de-
partment has published for free dis
