THE BEST FARM CROP

{ OMETIMES farmer gets so interested in building
- up farm for his children that he forgets TO
bring up the kind of children that can be trusted
with fine farm He can't leave the boys to grow up
without oversight any more than he leave his
cattle loose in the neighborhood and expect to have
fine stock in the end The boy should have at least
as much attention as the farm. The farmer should
try to develop in his boy enthusiasm for farming
To do that he must himself have enthusiasm for farm
ing. Too many farmers voice daily complaints at
their lot in life give way to encouragement over
farm problems say and do things daily that tend to
give the farm black eye The boy hears all of it,
adds it to his natural youthful restlesness, and sur
prises his father by leaving the farm for job in a
garage or grocery store.
The boy will see the bad features OF farming cas-
iK enough What he needs is to have someone lay
emphasis on the good. Have the right attitude to-
ward the profession. and your boy will have better
chance to learn to like it. Boys stray off for the same
reason that cattle do, not so much because other pas
lures are better as because nature made them rest
less and no pains is being taken to keep them the
farm
The best crop man raise on farm is just
boys No matter what your corn crop is. what or
your childrenp Your prize potatoes and registered
livestock no matter how high class. are fiat failure
you are not caring properly for the bodies and souls
of your offspring How is the boy crop cominga

Poultry Expert Tells How To
Recognize the Prof.
table Hen

There are people who can pcNeV
person over and tell rather accurately
what kind of man he is; we can all
do it to certain extent, but can you
look hen in the face and tell whether
or not she has been good layer or is
going to be? The latter is a very
simple matter--when you know how
according to Professor Byron Alder,
the author of circular recently pub
lished by the Utah Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station entitled, "How to
Gull Flock of Hens.
The circular was written by Profess
sor Alder to assist the poultry keepers
of the State in recognizing and elimi-
mating the "star boarders". Egg-lay
ing strains Of poultry are highly bred
animals, but ow-producing birds are
constantly appearing in fiocks. The
financial success of the poultryman
depends in large measure on elimi-
mating such birds before they consume
all the profit of the business. He is,
however, confronted with great
problem in knowing just which bird
is producing 80 or go eggs and which
one is producing 100 eggs year. The
trap nest and other methods have been
developed to secure this information
but all are accompanied with consider
able expense.
The most recent observations and
experiments, which Prof. Alder dis
cusses in this publication, have shown
that the good producer can be dis
tinguished from the poor layer by
rather simple observations which can
be made by any individual. In SUNNI
arizing the discussion Prof. Alder
says: "The general appearance and
actions of fowl are important in
estimating her value as layer. The
poor layers are lazy, inactive, spend
considerable time on the perches and
at feeding time stay on the farther
side of the flock, as though ashamed
to be seen. The good layer is healthy
and active, has good appetite, is not
nervous or Eighty, comes up close at
feeding time, is usually singing and
happy. and wants to be appreciated.
The color of the shanks, beak, comb
and wattles; the spread of the pubic
bones, and abdominal capacity are
some Of the other qualities which are
used in sporting" the poor layer.

A DROP FROM THE CLOUDS

Pres. Spreckles Of Federal Sugar
Refining Co. says: Before the new
crop comes into the market we have
on hand 100000 tons Of sugar. Half
of Europe can purchase nothing.
Sugar planters and those believing in
high prices have been living in fools
paradise and have discussed high
prices so long that they see nothing
else. There never has been a real
shortage. Sugar prices, in line with
other commodities, must return to
normal and approach the pre-war
figure. Under governments control,
displacement of sugar caused ap-
parent shortage in certain localities.
There is more truth than poetry in
this statement and it would be we'll
for western sugar beet growers to be-
gin to understand the situation.
Scientific farming and maximum
tonnage per acre at fair price per
ton must supercede war prices and
haphaZard farming.

HOTEL FOR PANGUITCH

TROM the Garfield County News we learn that

Cedar City, Every facility for handling tourists that
our neighboring communities install adds to the value
of our own tourist accommodations. We hope the
prophesy of the News of an early completion of the

The number of sheep in this coun-

during the last ten years. Imports of
wool for the five-year period from
1910 to 1914 were less than half of
the five-year period following. The
total of production and imports has
been fairly steady since 1915. The

Lost Out In Cities

Lost Ont In Cities.
Had their majorities in the cities
been what they were two years ago
the result would have been a defeat
of the league. What seemed a
solid, impenetrable mass of stolid
support among the Nonpartisan
League farmers has begun to yield.
A comparatively small part of
the real farmers in the league are
Socialists. They have been led to
believe that State management of
all the intermediate machinery be-
tween them and their markets will
at the same time make money for
the State, save taxes. and give them
a square deal. They do not believe
in the red Gag of anarchy.
Townley and his coterie of Social
lists defeated twice an ani-red flag
bill in the legislature. The Re
publicans forced it to a referendum,
and now in this primary the bill
has been carried by a large vote.
The farmers of the league have not
credited the charge that Townley-
ism is Socialism. and so have con-
tinued to support him; but this
election shows that many have
come to believe il.
Union An Unnatural Ono.
The union between Socialist La
borites and the league farmers is
an unnatural one and cannot abide.
The attempt to force state owner
ship of land by increasing the as
sessments of farm lands is sure to
increase the breaking away of land
owners from the league = and with
this the league loses its power.
Upon the nomination of Senator,
the vote is reported to the writer at
last accounts to be: Ladd, 53,O24,
and Gronna, 5O.049, with eighty-hVe
precincts missing. This seems to
indicate the defeat of the present
occupant of the seat. How much
more unsatisfactory as a. nominal

can be than Mr.. Gronna has been,
will be a matter of much curious
interest.
