Pork Produced at u Loss.

Pork production, which is one OF
IOwas chief industries, is not always
profitable In Il survey made by Iowa
State college in the spring OF 1913 III
the southwest part OF the state, 1t was
found on 312 farms that 100 pounds OF
pork cost $1G.3O and sold for $14.O.
Much of the trouble that leads to
losses of this kind is caused by the
old law of supply and demand. which
farmers are not recognizing ana pro-
yiding for. AN intelligent system OF
farm accounts will help farmers pre-
vent Qverproduction and extreme fluc-
tllatiOn in the price Of food products
says II. Il. Munger OF the farm man
agemcnt department ut Iowa State
college. "Such system will give the
farmer chance to study the returns
from each branch of his business ana
make readiustments before the eX-
IRENE bottom has been forced in prices
by OverproductiOn.'
The survey made by the college on
312 Iowa farms brought out these III
teresting facts for the spring OF l9l9.
Considering corn on the home market
worth $50 per bushel, oats at S.W,
tankage at $40 per ton and sklmmik'
at $50 per 100 pounds the feed cost
alone amounts to S14.0o. Inc above
constituted the bulk of the concen-
trated ration for the hogs fed on the
3D. farms last year. Pasture was
charged at $50 per acre. Man labor
was charged at 40 cents. and horse
labor at 20 cents per hour. Labor,
Use OF buildings, interest on the hoss
and feed brought the raising OF lOo
pounds of pork up to $16:O. All feeds
were charged on the home market
basis. so hogs should be sold on the
home market basis (for the purpose OF
a fair comparisOn) which is now
S14.5O. IA loss to the average farmer OF
$1.GO per 100 pounds which is about
$500 per hog.
Even with this loss hogs will be
raised because they are a paying prop.
Osition when raised over number OF
years.

Test Yield Of Corn Strains.

Iowa corn growers are to be given
an opportunity to compare the yield
ing power of their different varieties
or strains Of corn through contest
which is to be held by the Iowa Corn
and Small Grain Growers association.
OF late much has been said about the
desirability OF finding the highest
yielding varieties of corn and so the
state association has decided to put
on contest which will be continued
over period of several years.
1t is generally agreed that strains
as well as varieties differ greatly as
to yielding power. Results secured by
individual farmers and farm bureaus
during the past four or five years show
difference OF as high as 80 bushels.
In addition, work done under the di-
rection Of HI. ID. Hughes at the Iowa
agricultural experiment station indi-
Gates great possibilities in the selec-
tion OF high yielding varieties.
The corn growers association plans
to divide the state into four sections
similar to the division made for the
annual state corn show. Three test
ing stations will be located in each
section, making twelve different lOcall-
ties in which varieties will be compar-
ed. Varieties, however, will be tested
at all three stations in the section en-
tered. The seed will be planted on
plots side by side with exactly tie
same soil and planting conditions and
will be cultivated exactly alike. The
difference in yield will be entirely due
to heredity.
If high yielding strains of corn are
found as a result Of the contest, their
introduction to the state as, Il. whole
will mean millions OF, dollars to the
farmers annually. In addition the
owners of the winning varieties will
benefit by the demand for their seed.
The association will also make suit
able awards to the winners of the con-
test
