Protected areas stocked with the
best fur animals that can be found

Wild creatures soon learn where

waterfowl in city parks swarm
around visitors who feed them as if
they were domesticated. Wardens
in Jasper Park, Alberta, say that as
soon as the hunting season APP

refuge in the park.
The department calls the attention
of farmers to the desirability of
keeping poachers off their forest
lands and encouraging fur-bearing
animals by preserving hollow trees
and by substituting animal-proof
chicken yards for the gun and trap

WASHINGTON, D. Glow the
struggle for existence OF young long
leaf pine on cut-over lands IN the
south is handicapped by hog grazing
and recurrent fires has been brought
out by a six-year experiment In
Louisiana.
Millions of 1ong-leaf seedlings
sprang UP over the south in the fall
of 1913, resulting from very heavy
seed crop and favorable weather con-
ditions. At the request Of Henry 3.
Hardtner, of Urania, La, the forest
service of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, in cooperation
with the Louisiana department of
manent experimental plots. They
were established at Urania in jan
uary, 1914, the aim being to secure
reliable information regarding nat
ural reproduction of aong-leaf pine.
Well Stocked With Seedlings
Four sample tracts fof one-quarter
of an acre each were selected OF
about the same character and ABOUT
equally well stocked with one-yeare
old long-leaf pine seedlings. Two OF
these plots were fenced against cat
tie and hogs and two left unprotecte
ed. Further, one plot in each OIL
these two series has since neen DuPn1
ed over yearly Cor nearly every year,
and the other two protected against
fires.
A remeasurement of the sample
areas was made in the winter of 1919

found to contain only two long-leaf

Experiments in propagating fur

determined that silver foxes, black
foxes, blue foxes, skunks, and musk
rats can be famed profitably under
suitable conditions.

Uncle Sam Gives Pointers on
Drafting Fair Farm Lease

A clear and equitable lease con-
both tenant and landlord, yet be-
cause of the difficulties involved in
drawing up such a contract to fit
a given case, tenants and landlords
alike often are content to use some
easily available printed form, that
may or may not be best suited to
the conditions. In Farmers BulIe-
tin 1854, "The Farm Lease Con-
tract" the United States depart
ment Of agriculture urges farmers
to make sure that their leases say
just what they ought to say and
mean just what they were intended
to mean.
Tt is pointed out that custom Oft
en- tends to perpetuate a long-estab-
lished type of agreement, even
though conditions do not continue
to justify the terms involved. For
example, the stock-share lease, al
most universally framed on the fif-
ty-ffty basis. with the landlord fur
nishing the land and the tenant fur
nishing the labor, work stock and
equipment, is not necessarily equit-
able. Land and labor vary in rela-
tive value, and what might be an
equitable ratio upon which to base
division of returns in one case
might be altogether unsatisfactory
in another. 1t is urged that an ad-
justment should be made in each in
dividual case, taking into account
the relative value of the elements
contributed by the contracting par
ties. The following described meth
cd is suggested for making such an
adjustment.
Estimate Should BE Made
"First an estimate should be made
of the fair value of the use of the
land and of the value of ordinary
farm labor, with additional est,
mates of the cost of horse labor and
annual cost of the use of equip
ment. The value Of each of these
items may be determined with
fair degree of accuracy in advance;
The ratio of the two values should
be determined, and all other eX-
penses and receipts should be di-
vided in the same proportion. Sup
pose, for instance, that, the fair
value of the use of the land for.
wear is found to be $500, while the
Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1920-10-16

fair value of the farm labor, horse
labor and use of equipment is ST.
900. The ratio of these quantities
is 1 to 2. The landlord should then
pay one-third of all other expenses
and the tenant two-thirds. After
these other expenses have been de-
Quoted from the total receipts the
landlord should receive one-third of
the remainder, and the tenant two
thirds.
Thus the receipts will be divided
in exact proportion to the value of
the contribution of the parties in
fulfilling the contract.

In the following series of CUES
tions, designed to serve as a sort of

farmers who have to do with lease
contracts, the authors Of the bulle-
tin summarize the main points to

Corn Should Be Mixed
With Other Stock Food
To Get Best Results

It has now been known for some
wears that corn by itself is not an
economical cattle feed. The reason
for this is that about one-half OF the
Of the essential compounds needed to
produce growth.
In order to make corn more ettl-
cient, it is therefore necessary to mix
the corn with other cattle feeds
which contain an abundance of those
compounds which are lacking IN
corn.
Experiments along this line have
recently been carried out by the
United States department of agr1cul-
ture It has been shown that when
certain concentrates such as cocoa
nut press cake, peanut press cake,
soy bean press cake, or cottonseed
press cake are added to the corn
more rapid growth results and the
mixture of proteins\is much more
efficient and economical than the pro-
teins of corn alone.
It is therefore very important that
the cattle feeder should so mix his
diet that he can get the greatest
amount Of growth from the least
quantity of protein used, since the
protein is the most expensive con-
stituent in his feed.
1t has been found that about 40
per cent of cocoanut press cake, or
Is per cent of soy bean press cake Or
peanut press cake, mixed with corn,
furnishes very efficient diet. 1t is
not safe, however, to add so much
cottonseed press cake, since cotton
seed is frequently toxic and is ordi-
narily not fed to cattle in amounts
of more than three or four pounds a
day. The experiments which have
been performed indicate that when
corn is properly mixed with the press
cakes mentioned above about twice
as much growth can be obtained on
pound of protein from the mixture
as on corn proteins alone.
While exact data has not been OBJ
tanned, the experiments thus far
show that great economy can be
achieved by mixture of other protein
foods with corn

Secretary Meredith
Says Heresford Calf
From Club Member

When Secretary Of Agriculture
Meredith attended the Eastern States
exposition this fall, about the first
place he visited on the grounds was
the arena where that day the prize
calves of the club boys and girls
were being auctioned off.
Within twenty minutes after Secre-
tary Meredith had entered the
grounds he had bid in the Hereford
calf which had won the second prize
at the exposition. He has sent the
calf to his Iowa farm.
Each member in the calf clubs,
which are organized by the United
States department of agriculture and
the state colleges, owns the calf
which he cares for and feeds under
the advice of his club leader. The
calves which won the county prizes
then compete for state honors, and
at the Eastern States show the ten
eastern state winners competed
against each other. When the awards
are finally made an auction OF the
animals is held.

How to ''Break Up
Hens Wanting to ''Set''

When hens become broody they
should be broken up as quickly as
possible. The sooner this is done,
the sooner they will resume laying.
To break hen of broodiness, she
should be. confined to a small coop
raised off the ground, preferably
with Stat bottom. Give her plenty
of water to drink; she may be fed
or not, as desired. Not much differ
ence will be found in the time re-
quired to break her of broodiness.
whether she is fed or made to fast,
say poultry specialists of the United
States department of agriculture.
Usually from three to six days
confinement will break her, but some
hens require ten to twelve days. The
broody hen will be recognized by
her inclination to stay, on the nest
at night, the ruffling of her feathers
and her picking at anyone who ap-
proaches her, and by the clucking
noise she makes. The fact that her
broodiness has been broken up" can
be recognized by the disappearance of
these symptoms.

not, is probably considerably less
severe and injurious than that re-

where there occurs a preliminary

Shortage $4,000 Per Day.
The extent of the nationwide car
shortage at present is indicated. Ken
dali said, by the fact that railroads
now are forced to turn down actual
orders for about eighty thousand cars
per day.
The outlaw railroad strike is
blamed for part of the car shortage
Coal production is being seriously
hampered by the car shortage, &C.
cording to reports of the United States
geological survey, which show that
bituminouS mines now are producing
only eighty million tons a week. This
is estimated to be three million tons
under the demand.
Among the cities where plants are
running on a short coal supply are
Youngstown, Pittsburgh. Cleveland
and Toledo. Switchmen still are on
strike in these cities and also in New
York. Buffalo. Philadelphia. St. Louis
and Kansas City, reports here said.
New York Hard Hit.
New York, May 1.-THE full force
of the tie-up of freight movement due
to the OUTLAW" strike of railroad men
and the strike of the coastwise long
shoremen was felt in New York today
Thousands of loaded cars stood idle
in the terminal yards while industries
suffered from shortage of fuel and
raw materials. Food supplies were
running low.
The United States Grain corporation
relieved an acute flour shortage by Of
fering supplies from reserve stocks
held for export.
Railroad officials reported their men
returning to work and freight move
ment gradually increasing, but reports
from concerns today were that their
freight shipments were not being han
died.
Cars destined for New York loaded
with freight are delivered at the ter
minals but because of the lack of
switchmep, the railroads are unable to
deliver the cars to their final destina-
ton.
Conferences were in progress today
looking to settlement of the strike ot
coastwise longshoremen. This would
considerably relieve the freight con-
gestion in the New York terminal.
Industries Shutting Down.
Chicago, May 12.-Industries in the
middle west are being forced TO shut
down daily because of a shortage Of
cars for transportation of material, nc-
cording to reports received by business
men here today.
Chicago is losing close to two mil
lion dollars a day as a result of the
car shortage, according to John NJ.
Glenn, president of the Illinois Manu-
facturers' association.
This is the situation also in the ad-
joining middle western territory,

Railroad men say there is little hope
of relieving the present car shortage
until more cars are built.
