FARM BUREAU STAGES
PICNIC

The Farm Bureau of Ida county held
a very successful picnic at Ida Grove
last Wednesday, there being a good
crowd present. President Hunt, OF Lo-
gan, made the principal speech OF the
day, and among other things, he said:
1.-THE farmers are the original pro-
ducers, and when they quit, all must
quit. They are the base for all pro-
duction for they supply the food. There
is no substitute for food, none has ever
been found and none ever Will be. Inc
farmer represents more capital than
any other industry in the world. Before
the war their combined wealth and in
yestment was estimated at forty bill
lions of dollars and recently Wallaces
Farmer made an estimate that today
the farming industry represents an in
yestmeht Of one hundred billions. With
all this wealth. why has the farmer
gone along with no plan, no organiza-
ton, and no method of knowing much
about this business? Never before has
q real organization been attempted The
first inception of the farmers orGanlZa-
ton was the old Grange idea, which
forced congress, an unwilling congress,
to establish the first rural free deliv-
cry, Then came the war and food adj
ministratioi, Mr. Wilson sending to
Europe and securing Mr.. Hoover. Mr..
Hoover was IA big man, but he had liv-
cd abroad so long that he didn't know
how big the United States was. 1t

THE FARM NEWS
SPECIAL PAGE DEVOTED TO THE FARMING
INTERESTS OF CRAWFORD COUNTY

The big striking advantage to the farm
or is the wide open market at all ages
tho fact that he can sell the colt at
weaving time, before it has incurred
any appreciabc feeding expense, or at
any time thereafter. Mules are con-
sdered as staple as wheat and corn.
At the age of two or three, the mule
is ready for work. Usually he is dis
posed of to the corn belt farmer who
depends on mules for general service.
At the age of five, however, he is primo
for the southern market. II sold in
the spring, it is usually to northern
farmers who want extra power Tor
three or four months during the peak
load season, and it is at the end of Aug
ust when the season is past, that the
market opens in real earnest for the
southern trade.
\ Mule dealers are unanimous in say
ing that compact, bulky mules of good
proportions standing 1873 hands and
weighing 200 to ESQ pounds, are the
kind farmers should try to produce.
While, of course, the best mules, the
prize winners and best sellers, are bred
from the big draft mares. it is also
true that a common 900 to 300 pound
mare, bred to a jack, will produce an
excellent mule.
Self.prcscrvation is the root of the
mules stubbornness, but this same an
imal instinct saves the owner, many
costly plumbers. The careless driver
cannot overhead the animal; he slows
down at the danger point. At night,
he is embarrassed and turned out in
the field with a trough of water and a
box of feed and he will not drink until
he is cool nor ovcreat on the grain.
The farmer depending on hired help
is insured against team loss wherever
mules are used. Many have wonder
ed why Mr. Adams, of the Adams ranch
near Odebolt uses so many mules. 1t
lis because the teams have so many
different drivers. On large farms with
drifting hired help, mules are much
better than horses.

today, the buyer hauling 1t three miles

ticiently to more than justify the price
he paid.

it with good feed. using plenty of wa
ter at filling time feed it with grain

dict YOU will agree with the Wisconsin
fellow who said There was nothing
better than a silo except two silos, one
for winter and one for summer
11.-What the dairy cows and young
stock of . iowa need most is more
feed and better care. They are not
likely to get it until we provide our
selves with cheaper feed by growing
more of it. Silos will materially help
solve the feed problem.
12.-GoOd grass is natures product
It is the cheapest and most dependable
of all dairy feeds. Good silage comes
nearer to good grass in winter than
any other known feed.
al have never seen cows that had
lost their teeth or had given prcma-
ture birth to calves, caused by eating
good ensilage.
14.-Build a permanent sllo out or
material that will endure. The initial
cost may seem to be a little high at
the time, but permanently is insurance
against high winds and constant adj
justments, the small expense OIL the
permanent silo being negligible.

USING TIE WASTE
LAND.

Farming in the railway right of way
is a popular sport along thc~ milwaukee,
between here and Des Moincs, dozens
of thrifty farmers having patches Of
most every kind of farm crop close by
the tracks. The milwaukee, officials
give these strips of land free of rent
to any farmer wanting them, the only
condition being that the farmer leave
his request with the local agent and
through him get permission to cult
vate the land. One farmer has a strip
a mile long, upon which he has drilled
eight rows of corn, and anticipates a
crop that will be well worth his time
and trouble. AS the country gets older
and more denscly populated, these right
of way strips will come into general
use, and being of virgin soil' the yield
of most any crop is immense. This re-
minds The Bee that as soon as the
country paving is finished in Greene
county, the fences ought to be set
out at least eighteen feet on each side
This will leave a strip six feet wide
on each side of the paving, which ought
to be plcnty'for all possible traffic, and
give each farm an addition of very val
liable ground. The board of supervis-
Ors should take action in this matter
and let the additions to adjoining farms
be set off as soon as any, particular
part of the paving is finished. In this
day of high priced land, and food scar
city every foot added to cultivatable
tracts is very desirable-Jcfferson Bee.

CLAIMS ON LIVESTOCK LOST
IN TRANSIT.

The following letter is worth read.
ing. 1t is from the attorney employed
by the Farm Bureau Federation, Ow.
en- l.. Coon:
"a large number of shipments are
being delayed in transit. On all live
stock shipments this entails a loss in
feeding charges, shrink, and frequent
~ decline in the market, for all of which
items q valid claim should be filed
against the railroad. Claims should
also be filed for all animals short at
destination or killed in transit.
Many farmers believe that if such
losses are the result of delays that
have arisen during the recent strike
trouble. there is no valid claim. THIS
IS WRONG. And unless these claims
as well as all others. are filed within
four months from the time the ship
mont is made the claim is OutlaWed.
Every farmer should be advised TO
send his claim to us at once, in order
that his rights may be properly pro
,tected

efficiently, three things are needed: O
Copy of the livestock contract; (2), ac-
count sales: 81, an itemizcd statement
of all elements of loss sustained. With
this information in our hands, the
claim will be made up, properly pre-
scented to the railroad, and efficiently
followed up to a conclusion.
Claims should be filed with this de-
partment in the very beginning, and
before being filed. with the railroad

fore sending it in makes it ten times

in the matter. A charge of Is per cent

THE COUNTRY BOYS
CREED,

I believe that the country, which
God made, is more beautiful than the
city, which man made; that life out of
doors and in touch with the earth is
the natural life of man. I believe
that work is work wherever we find
it, but that work with nature is more
inspiring than work. with the most in
tricate machinery. I believe that in
the dignity of labor depends not on
what you do, but on how you 40 it;
that opportunity comes to boy on the
farm as often as to a boy in the city;
that life is larger and freer and hap
pier on the farm than in the town;
that my success depends not upon To-
cation, but upon myself-not upon my
dreams, but upon what l actually do
not upon luck, but upon pluck. l be.
lievc in working when you work, and
playing when you play, and in giving
and demanding a square deal in every
act of life.-Edwin Osgood Grover.

FOURTEEN POINTS" ON
SILAGE

Here arc the Fourteen Points on
silaGc for the Iowa farmer:
1-Silos require far less space than
any other roughage.
2.-It is not intended to take the
place of all other feeds, but when fed
in connection with other feed, its value
is easily seen.
3:-Ensilagc shows its good effect on
stock through the good condition of the
hair, and when hair and skin is right,
the stock is thrifty and healthy.
At provides succulent feed in the
summer when pastures are dry and
maintains the milk flow.
'5.-thcre is no waste in feeding good
ensilagc. The COWS will eat all you
give them and look longingly for more.
Cit requires time and labor to haul
shock fodder to say nothing of the ex-
posture to severe. weather. Ensilage
is easy to handle regardless OF weather
conditions. -
Its value as a feed has increased
with other feeds and it is just as econ
omical to feed cnsilage as 1t ever was.
S.-All succulent feeds are easily as
simulated and digested. This means
good physical condition. . .-sfr s-Es.,.
