HOWARD Paints
Gloomy Picture
of Pig Crop

When President J. r. Howard OF
the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton was the stock yards re-
Gently looking over the strike situa-
ton he drew . rather gloomy pic
ture Of the condition OF the pig crop
In Iowa. What he said may be con-
sidered generally true of the corn
belt.
II have been calculating on ~ per
cent OF normal pig production" he
said, "but that Is beginning to look
too low. Many farmers did not keep
the usual number OF sows, and there
seems to be large proportion OF
filters numbering three and four pigs.
The general unrest and strike threats
all over the country, which interfere
with marketing. have thoroughly dis
ccuraged many farmers, which, to-
gether with the lack of help in get
ting in the crops. IL making 1t i'm
possible to give the filters the close
attention they must have for time
after they come"
Mr.. Howard stated that he usually
has forty sows to farrow, but this
year he saved out 81. going on the
belief that interpretation was i'm
pending. Bad conditions under which
the pigs have had to come this sea-
son. however. will leave him no more
than an average number when all
arc weaned.
All OF this leads up to the ques-
ton. how far will the pendulum
swing back toward lighter produce
ton? 1t has already gained good
momentum. even discounting consid-
erably the reports from all parts Of
the country. The pendulum always
swings to the full end OF its arc be-
fore it stops. VIII its present swing
toward a smaller production OF live
stock go to the extreme stopping
place?
Probably seine farmers don't care
they would not lose any sleep II
consumers had to eat little lower
down on the hog and the steer: or
in other words. do what the depart
ment Of justice is trying to get them
to do. But the man fixed for live
stock production can hardly afford
to drop out. When others are quit
ting the game it's good time to
stay in, is rule which has worked
out well for many in the past. How
about it this time? It's something to
think about, anyway.

cd and matured early in the season
Other varieties, such a. Country
Gentleman and Evergreen, according
to garden specialists in the United
States Department Of Agriculture
are best for later planting.
One-fourth to one-half Of pint OF
seed of Golden Bantam corn will be
all that is needed by the average
home gardener. Plant 1t In rows n
feet apart and hills 3 feet apart In
tho row. kernels to the hill. and
after the corn Is up. thin to good
stalks In each hill. At least three OF
four civilizations or hoeings Will be
necessary, The secret OF producing
deep grained succulent ears OF Gold
en- Bantam is to keep the plants
growing from the very time the seed
sprouts.
Corn planted in a single row across
the garden seldom makes good full
ears because the pollen from the tas-
sci Is blown by the wind and does
not fall on the silk. Where 1t Is
planted in a block, or several rows
side by side, the pollen is blown from
one row to another and all of the
ears get enough Of II to insure a full
stand Of kernels. Where q small
quantity is to be planted. it Is al
ways best to group II in one cor
ner or to one side OF the garden.
In large gardens where land Is
plentiful, and when the growing sea
son Is sufficiently Ions, five to sevoil
paintings can be made and a conIin-
uous supply secured. A small plot
OF Golden Bantam should be planted
about the date OF the last killing
frost. About tho time ii Is up nicely
n pint OF Country Gentleman may be
planted. When this Is up and has
formed its second leaf, another seed
ing Of either Country Gentleman OF
Evergreen should be made. Thruoui
the central states six to seven plant
ings can be made by following this
rule of making a new planting when
the second leaf of the previous seed
ing appears. Golden Bantam require:
sixty to sixty EIGHT days to produce
roasting ears: while Country Gentle.
man and Evergreen require seventy
five to So days TO develop.

Carpenter May Have
Surprise for Dempsey

Georges Carpenter, French heavy
weight champion, may be boastins
Il little when he says ne believes he
can stop Dempsey in six rounds, but
it must be admitted that the French
Idol is not making his boasts without
knowing something OF ,the Ameri-
cans style.
Soon after Carpenter arrived In
this country, he held twenty min
ute conference with Tex Richard in
the Hotel Baltimore, New York.
Several of Richards friends were
present. Carpenter. after an ex-
change of greetings, inquired for de-
tails of Dempsey's fight with Will
lard. When Tex explained how
Dempsey rushed in and battered
Jess down. Carpenter smiled know
in2Iy Dempsey is great rusher
they tell me- he said to Richard.
Yes" came back the promoter
Jack has a regular whirlwind style
and he never loafs a second
Didn't Willard make any effort to
stop those rushes?" inquired the
Frenchman.
IF he did the spectators didn't see
it," replied Richard with a smile.
Carpenter looked at the floor
thoughtfully for half minute
Well" he went on, Il really prefer
to have them rush at me-" He said
no moreno more was necessary,
Those who heard the remark figured
Carpenter has been working TO
perfect defense to- the rushing
tactics.
After the conference, Richard adj
mitted he was greatly impressed. Il
won't say Carpenter can beat
Dempsey" he declared. but you
have to hand it to him. He must be
a master workman. think he box
es after the fashion OF the old schoo
in this country, and you know those
boys used to have an effective
remedy for rushing. Yes. Dempsey
is going to have an argument on his
hands when he meets this slender
youth. Georges 10 brainy. Sometimes
it's hard for Drawn to beat brains,

not fight the Frenchman as he
fought Willard - because he will

is not given to boasting. and for this
reason he has greatly impressed all
who have seen him. ...

Plant Popcorn in Farm Garden.


Don't forget to include a plat OF
popcorn in your garden. Besides It's

sesses much food value.
On many farms where 1t Is not de-

crop. a few rows are planted for home
use. This usually interests the chill
dren and ii Is we'll to let them do the
planting.
II 1t Is desired to grow popcorn as
field crop, the surplus stock that is

as soon as the soil is dry enough to

out greens. The list from which to
choose includes spinach, kale, chard,
mustard. turnip tops. sour dock, bas-
sella and young beets. BY proper
seeding and the use OF the right kind
Of plants, some kind OF green's can
be had growing in the garden thru
out the frost-free season. according
to garden specialists, United States
department of agriculture.
Cabbage stored In pit during the
winter will produce a tender growth
during the spring and may be used
the same as spinach or other green's.
The secret lies In getting a tender
growth early in the spring. when our
systems call for greens of some sort.
The culture Of the various greens
il similar in many respects. Each
requires rich soil and sufficient cul-
tivation to keep the surface loose
and free from weeds. Spinach Is Il
fall. winter. and cary spring crop
turnout the southern states, a spring
and fall crop in the middle states
and a late spring crop in the ex-
treme northern part of the country.
From Norfolk. Va, southwark along
the Atlantic coast. Il Is customary to
cut spinach and kale curing the win
ter. and ship II to the northern
markets. Turnip tops are used
almost universally thruout the south
during the winter and early spring
months as green's.
Spinach is generally grown on
bed raised three or four inches above
the surrounding surface to insure
good drainage. The beds are made
about five or six feet in width, Ave
to seven rows being planted length
wise. Cover the seed about one-half
inch and when the plants appear
cultivate the ground between the
rows Fall sown spinach can be
protected during the winter with
little straw or leaves and will come
out in good condition in the spring
provided the temperature does not
go below 10 degrees or IL degrees
above zero during the winter, and
providing the ground does not freeze
and thaw too often.
Kale is grown in exactly the same
manner as cabbage, except that the
seed is planted where the plants are
to stand. and thinned to eight inches
or one foot apart in the rows.
Mustard seed is so small that a
very little of It goes long way
Simply open a very shallow furrow
in the early springtime and SOW the
seed very thinlv in this drill. When
the plants appear they should ne
thinned. the trimmings being used as
greens. The entire plant should be
used before 1t starts to shoot the
seed. Young, tender mustard plants
make delicious green's having a
punsent flavor. They can be mixed
with spinach or kale.
Swiss chard is one of the newer
vegetables used as green's and like
wise one Of the best II develops
large leaf stems and very little root.
IT can be planted early and the
Young plants pulled out in thinning
can be used for greens. Later the
tender. Aeshy leaf stems left in the
row may be pulled off and used TOT
greens. When finally thinned out.
the plants should stand six to eight
inche. apart IN the row. Swiss
chard thrives best on deep, rich,
mellow soil similar to that required
for beets. The variety known as
Lucullus is considered the best.
