"More grass and less corn is the
way we feel about it in our neighbor-
hood" according to Joe Considine, a
big farmer of Thompson, near the
Boone County line, "Not more than 60
per cent of the normal number of cat
tie are beng fed and there have been
heavy reductions in all classes of live
stock. Our feeders are going to use
more cake, molasses feeds and things

back TO grass or corn, though I don't
know what our neighborhood will be
able to do in view of the labor short
age"
There is no prospect that farmers
will be able to liant a normal acreage,
because of the help situation" John
Howatt county agent of Randolph
County, believes. "More acres will
go to grass and an effort will be made
to raise more bushels to the acre cul-
tivated. Not more than 10 per cent
as much wheat was own last fall as
in 1928, and not more than so per
cent as much corn will be planted
as last year.
Fewer Stock on Feed.
There is less than half the normal
amount of stock on feed in Galloway
| County" is tie situation as seen by
| Albert D. Williams, a Fulton news
paper man. "Our farmers say they
are going to handle only such stock
and crops as they are able to care for
personally and will put as many acres
back in blue grass and meadow as
they can"
Jumping over into Rails County,
one finds the same situation, a reduc-
ton of the number of cattle and hogs
on feed and a curtailment of the out
put of cultivated crops. "0ur farm
ers are buying more tractors and
seeding more and more acres to clover
and other grasses" W w. Merritt,
county agent, asserted. with hogs
reduced by perhaps a third, there will
be a smaller output of corn this year"
Our farmers are not particularly
optimistic over the outlook, and will
make pastures and meadows of n lot
of their land" is the way it was put
by V. B. Sheldon, county agent Of
Lincoln County. "They r feeding
about so per cent fewer cattle and
371a per cent fewer hogs. Tractors
; may help some, but it is mighty marc
to get help for any kind Of farm
work"
LESS corn will be put out in How
ard County this year." according to
l.. F. Childers of Fayette. Mr.. Child
ers is the local county agent. Farm
crs around here are not feeding much
stock and only a very limited number
of hogs. But they are holding on 10
