1919, according TO table c'.miI led
by the Omaha Chamber of Gem
merce, on which this state appears
as the eleventh in automobiles per
cap. tai on that date. California Is
first with one machine for every
six persons. Nebraska and South
Dakota were second and third. re-
spectively. and Iowa was fourth.
Mississippi is last on the list with
one machine for every fOrty-One

fifth with one machine for every
nineteen persons. The totals show
that there was one automobile for
every fourteen persons in the Unit
ed States on December 81, 1919. The
figures were secured direct from
the person in charge of autOmO-

Trucks are included with pleasure

How Irrigation Helps Yields

What irrigation does for yield

parative results of an investiga-
ton made by the Colorado Crop
Reporting Service, in which the
secretary of the state board of
agriculture co-operates with the
bureau of crop estimates of the
United States department TO agri-
culture. Corn production in 1919
in that state on irrigated land was
3O6 bushels per acre and on non
irrigated land 1872 bushels; winter
wheat, PAT, and 9.3 bushels, respec-
lively: spring wheat, 22.S and IA
bushels; oats. $40 and 1872 bushels;
barley, 30.8 and 1875 bushels; rye,
1875 and Sc bushels; and potatoes,
l55 and "a bushels.

HOW FOREIGN COMPETITION
AFFECTS DAIRY INDUSTRY
Better Quality and More Economic
Methods of Production Are
Necessary in Dairying.

To meet foreign competition,
dairy farmers fthe United States
must be able to produce better
quality of product and produce and
market it more economically and
more efficiently, according to
specialists in the Bureau of Mar
kets, United States Department of
Agriculture.
Arrivals of shipments of Danish
butter are already affecting prices
on the New York City market.
Argentina is producing nearly
three times the amount OF butter
and cheese consumed and some OF
the surplus may be expected to
come to this country, or compete
with our products in foreign coun-
tries. Before the war Siberia was
rapidly extending it's dairy indus
try and when conditions become
settled in that country it may be
expected to come back as factor
in the worlds market. Recently
there have been signs OF interest
in dairying in South Africa, and
the industry as developed in New
Zealand and Australia must be
reckoned with.
II the dairy products manufac-
tured in the United States are OF
better quality than those from
other countries they need not fear
competition Canada's cheese IN
dustry illustrates this. A strict
system of government supervision
in the training of cheese makers,
in the operating of the factories
and in the grading. marketing, and
exporting of the product, exists
there. This has tended toward an
Improvement in the quality OF
Canadian cheese until it ranks with
the finest on the English markets
The dairy industry in Argentina
has grown rapidly since the begin
ming of the war. Before the war
butter exports from that country
totaled 1882 tons a year; in 1918
they were five times that. Cheese
exports were far exceeded by the
imports in 1913 Now the cOndi-
lions are reversed-over 5000 tons
of cheese being exported in 1918.
Today most of these exports are
going to European markets, but
should conditions become favorable
it may be expected that some of
them will come to this country.
The Bureau of Markets warns
dairymen to be prepared to meet
this competition.

farms, the demand is going to con
tinue simply because the invest
ment value of land is greater today
than it has ever been. The same
clatter seems to be going on all
over the Mississippi valley. In
Iowa for instance, ordinary corn
land within ten miles of railway
is selling for $500 to 5000 the acre
with nothing half so good in the
all-rOund sense as one of our irri-
gated ranches at from 5000 to 5000
feet altitude-Field and Farm.

ESSENTIALS FOR BEST EGGS
Proper Proportions Of Sound Grains
Oyster Shell and Clean Quarters
Are Necessary

Just because an egg is freshly laid
by an apparently healthy hen it cannot
be assumed that it is a good egg. Hens
that are forced to obtain the greater
proportion of their living as scaven-
gers and given a poor range to work on
cannot produce eggs of as good quail
ity as can a flock which regularly is
fed a good ration.
Eggs lacking protein have watery
white and the shell is apt to be thin,
owing to the partial absence Of such
lime. Such eggs, besides being of less
value as food, are more than likely to
bring forth puny chickens of low Vi
tnlity. subject to white diarrhea and
an early death With proper quaint

COVER CROP IMPROVES SOIL

Stakes and Poles Should Be

Whether it is conducted on an ex-
tensiye scale TO supply the market or
whether it is to produce food for the
family the garden plot is likely to be
the most profitable acreage on the
farm. Gardening really starts in the
fall. When the last vegetables have
been removed and stored the prudent
gardener sets about to prepare the
ground Tor the next years crop.
Clearing Away Refuse.
Any rubbish, dead vines or plants,
and bean poles or tomato stakes should
be cleared away, says the UnVed
States Department Of Agriculture
and the ground sown to rye or some
other green crop to prevent the loose
earth from washing under the winter
rains, A cover crop also improves
the physical condition of the soil
When cover crop cannot be supplied
the next best thing that may be done
is to pillow or spade the soil and allow
1t to lie rough throughout the winter.
This practice destroys many insects
that lie just below the surface. The

INVENTORY is
INDEX TO PROGRESS
Practicable Way Of Answering
important Questions.
Bulletin Recently Issued by Depart
ment Of Agriculture Enables Farm
er to Determine Exactly His
Financial Status

What is the net worth Of your farm
business? Is it more or less than one
would imagine from a casual inspec-
ton of your farm2 Do you know for
sure whether youar going or coming
in financial standing?
These are important questions TO
the farmer, and questions that are not
so easily answered as would at first
appear. Farming is an intricate bust
ness. and one in which returns from
investment are sometimes long de-
layed, so that progress cannot be ac-
Curately measured by the amount OF
money taken in a given time. Some
times cash income may he almost
wholly attributable to reduction IN
, other assets, so that in reality the re-
suit is like taking money from one
pocket and putting It in another.
The farm inventory, or property
list, offers the only practicable way Of
answering these questions, Once the
farmer has made a complete list Of
all his assets and liabilities and has
balanced them he knows just what his
net worth is, and when he has made
such a list annually he knows each
wear whether he has gone forward or
back, and just how much has been the

ND now we hear the tollipg BELL
n That sounds the Old Years dying knell,
And safe within the fleeing past
Its good and evil will be cast,
To oft return in future hour,
Brought by retentive memory's power.
And what the New Year, ere its close,
May have in store, no mortal knows.
But if all men good and true,
And would their Christian duty do,
The world would seem to hear again
Sweet peace on earth, good will to men!"
Then all could shout, the whole world through,
Ring out the Old! Ring in the Newt"
m, THINK of those bound down by sorrow,
Now longing for some glad tomorrow
To tighten up the heavy load,
That they must bear upon life's road,
Who journey on from cay to day,
Along lifes cold and rugged way,
Still longing, as they onward tread,
For deeds undone words unsaid,
Though friendly smile or kindly hand
Two things at every ones command
Would help to soothe the gnawing pain,
Or break the links of sorrows chain.
So Christian friends, your duty do
Ring out the Old Ring in the Newt
WITHIN learned land like this
" Some think that ignorance is bliss,
While ruthless hands and scheming fools
Make rule or ruin their vicious tools;
With no respect for God or man,
Destructive methods are their planI
Not using reason for defense,
Resort they to fools violence;
Imaginary wrongs they'd right,
BY senseless torch or dynamite.
Oh, rulers of mighty land,
Check this vile scourge with firmer hand!
Then tranquil peace will come in leu
Ring out the Old! Ring in the New!
PEAR this in mind, what e'er befaR.
- The hand Divine rules over ALL
And when greet the glad New Year,
With all its joy and social cheer,
Let each resolve his best to give
That this old world may better live.
And as we go but once this way,
Let's shed sweet sunshines golden ray,
And bring good cheer to hearts bowed down
By adverstys cold, sullen frown.
Then when the sands of life are run,
Wen hear the welcome, "Well, we'll done!
Come, reap the Joys prepared for you'll"
