THE FARM NEWS
SPECIAL. PAGE DEVOTED TO THE FARMING
INTERESTS OF CRAWFORD COUNTY

/ We had as pretty q bunch of cows on
the day Of the sale ,as you ever saw

our herdsman, will vouch for that. In
/ addition to all Of this, each animal was

one or two exceptions they behaved re-

"rhe day of the sale Mrs. Murphy
the managers wife, assisted by part
OF the farm help, attacked another
huge task---that Of feeding the hun.
dreds of people whom WEI anticipated
would be in attendance. AS the sale
began at 1890 o'clock we knew that
many would have had their lunch be
fore their arrival, but we knew. also.
that there would be scores upon scores
whose .tummies' would need a bit of
(refresfnent in order to put them in
good humor for the afternoons work
under the roof of the big implement

Accordingly Mrs. Murphy and her
aides packed 400 cartons of lunch. Each
of these contained two ham sandwich
Ies. a cookie. a doughnut, q piece Of
cheese, d banana and a good cigar On
the morning Of the sale we bottled 400
Epints OF fresh milk and placed it on ice.
Hot coffee was served to all who, wished
it. Three hundred of these cartons
We're taken before the sale. The other
hundred We're given ont at the close to
such as might have no opportunity of
securing supper before late hour.
There was no charge for this service,
and the crowd was not backward in

HOG POLICY IN 1

Corn prices have dropped below hog
prices, and with our large corn crop il
seems very likely that feeding corn tc
hogs will be profitable this winter, more
SO than selling the corn. Where heal
thy stock hogs can be bought at a fair
price, some OF our readers will find ii
profitable to buy them. 1t seems like,
" that it will pay to feed hogs to a
weight of twenty to thirty pounds
heavier than has been customary in
the past
While we regard the outlook for the
hog feeder as very satisfactory for the
next six months, we sound Il note OF
caution against breeding more than the
usual number Of sows this winter.
Profitable hogs this winter do not nee
essalily mehn profitable hogs n year
from now. 1t is, of course, possible
that a very slight increase in the num-
Der of hogs bred this winter may lie
justified, but any marked increase will
be hazardous
X It is a good time for farmers gener-
ally to improve the quality of their
hogs. Good grade sows can be fatten-
ed and sold to advantage this winter
and replaced by purebred sows We
do not suggest doing this in whole
sale way, but we do suggest a gradual
shifting over.--NVallaces' Farmer.

WINTER CARE OF THE
TRACTOR

1 Iowa tractor owners, VINO are not
/ going to use the tractor throughout the
winter should pay some attention to
laying up the machine before freez
4 ing weather sets in. Mere are some
pointers given by the agricultural engi.
neering section Of the Iowa State col.
lege.
House the Machine in a warm place
/! il possible, since this. will save time if
any repair work is to be done. If not,
see that the water is drained out Of the
radiator or cooling system. Start the
machine up for a few moments SO as
to circulate the water and work it out
Of the pump. Running the tractor
slowly for a, few minutes will drain out
all the water and give enough heat to
dry the pipes thoroughly.
The carburetor, being full of gaso,
line, should be drained and dried. The
carburetor has q float and this will be
come damaged If allowed to stand in
gasoline all winter.
If there is storage battery on the
tractor it should be removed and placed
in place where it will not freeze or
dry out. Any garage will give it prop
er attention for few dollars for the
winter. which will be cheaper than
running it by neglect.
III repairs are needed now Is the
time To order them so that they will be
ready for the spring work.
Minor cleaning as to grease cups,
holes for grease and many things of g
lesser Importance. can be done at odd,
times. Look over the bearings and see
that they are in good shape. A good
tractor farmer will give the machine
the same care as he used to give his
horses.

\ How things do change Not SO very
long ago it was customary to see from

down on the depot platform" Now
one sees from one to half n hundred
chicken crates, and they're full of live
chickens, too. There is a lot of po,ll-
try being marketed at this season of
the year. Some is being sold to local
dealers and much is being shipped. Mrs.
Carsten Chrstiansen, of near Denison,
brought in a large number of fine
chickens Monday of last week. for
which she received 81 cents per pound.

TO HOLD STATE CORN

After a lapse or one year the state
corn and small grain show will be held
at Ames January 8 to 8, 1921. Last
year the. show was not held because
the iowa State college farmers week
had to be called off on account Of the
influenza epidemic.
Joe l.. Robinson, secretary of the
Iowa Corn and Small Grain Growers
assocition, will be in charge of Il the
show. He announces that many cash
prizes are available and besides many
trophies in the form of cups valued as
high as 81 900 are awaiting to be won.
We expect the largest shcT ever
sal D Mr.. Robinson. I'VE are prepared
to handle entries any time and have a
catalogue out which Is to be mailed at
once to 10000 farmers. There are anna
teur ana professional classes and this
gives new and old exhibitors a chance
to get in on the prizes.

We imagine very little attention is
being paid by Crawford county farm
ers to the nationwide farmers move
ment TO hold wheat for higher prices.
This particular part of Iowa produces
very little wheat; therefore the interest
Is comparatively slight. The movement
is being watched however, and the
general impression seems to be one of
confidence that some good will come
from the plan even though 1t be only
psychological and not seriously affect
ing the supply and demand aspect of
the market.

COMMUNISTS PROCLAIMED
AS ENEMIES OF U. S
Secretary of Labor Wilson Rules That
All Alien Reds Must Be
Deported.

Washington. Jan. 26.-MemberShip
in the Communist Party Of America is
sufficient to make an alien liable to
deportation whether or not he may
have taken any positive steps to fur
Their the execution of the avowed OBJ
ject of the organization to overthrow
the government of the United States.
This was the decision announced by
Secretary of Labor Wilson in the case
of Englebret Prizes, whose deportation
to Austria is approved as recon-
mended.
Secretary Wilson's decision estab-
fishes the precedent which will govern
cases of all other members of the Com
munist party against whom deporta-
ton proceedings have been or will be
begun and will affect equally with
Prizes the three other men whose cases
were argued by Attorneys Benjamin
Bachrach and Isaac E. Ferguson of
Chicago, the latter having been indict-
ed by the Cook county grand jury
with 85 others charged with advocat-
ing overthrow of the government.
In carefully prepared statement,
Secretary Wilson recited the facts in
the case of Prizes, quoted the law of
October 10, 1918, under which his de-
portation was recommended, estab
lished by quotations from its manifes-
to and constitution that the Com
munist Party of America sis not mere
ly a political party seeking the control
Of affairs of state, but revolutionary
party seeking TO conquer and destroy
the state in open combat" and arrived
at the conclusion that it came within
the meaning of the act as an 'organi-
cation that entertains a belief In,
teaches, or advocates the overthrow
by force or violence of the government
of the United Stares."

note of the Netherlands government In
reply to the demand of the allies for

voy in Paris, the powers, referring to
article 227 of the Versailles treaty, re-
quest the Netherlands government TO

HohenzolIern, emperor Of Germany, In
order that he may be put ON trial.
"Her majesty's government cannot
in the present instance acknowledge
any other duty than that imposed by
the laws of the state and national
tradition, the constitutional laws of
file state based on universally recog
nized principles of law, and on honor
able tradition centuries old, which has
made of this country at all times a
refuge for the vanquished in interna-
tional conflicts.
"The Netherlands people, actuated
nv sentiments to which the worlds
history has done Justice, cannot be-
tray the faith of those who have con-
fided themselves to the nations free
institutions.
"Her majesty's government would
fain believe that the powers will rec

over appears so peremptory that they
cannot reasonably give rise to enron
eous impressions as to Hollands atti-

TEUT0N STATES FIGHT UNION
Bavaria and saxony Voice Opposition
to Giving Berlin Control
of Nation.

Berlin, Jan. 27.-The suggestion
originating in the Prussianl diet and
the national government to- sound the
sentiments of the federated states on
the question of creating a unified Ger
man state has aroused opposition in
Bavaria and Saxony.
The proposal was introduced by the
coalition bloc of the Prussian diet.
The press dispatch from A.unich
says the majority of the Bavarian
people are unalterably opposed to any
scheme that tends to obliterate their
time-honored prerogatives.
In a general debate on the issue in
the Bavarian diet, the parties. with
the exception of the majorities and
the independents, opposed the scheme.
The ultra left radicals, however
declared that they favored it and re-
Quested the Bavarian government to
direct their efforts in that direction.

CHURCHES GAIN 100000
Total Membership $4,000, ooo-De-
crease in Sunday Schools-Mer-
mons Report 494,388

New York, Jan. 28.-America's
churches have gained nearly three mil
lion members since a church census
was taken in 1916, but there has been
a marked decrease in the number of
Sunday schools and Sunday school
pupils, according to 1.-THE Year Book

increased 2,779,667, the announcement
says, with an Increase of 1913 mini
STEERS and $3.50 church organizations.
The total number of churches is nov
233, S34. There are 1888 ministers,
priests and rabbis with A, 709,5 21 mem
