Demand Increase for Grinding Wheat


Flat increase of 10 cents a bushel
for grinding wheat is sought for all
classes of mills by the Montana Mill
ers' association in the application re-
ceived by the Montana Trade Com
mission.
I Rates for grinding wheat in Mon
tana mills, as fixed by the state COM
mission are: Mills of % barrels a
day capacity or under, 35 cents a
bushel; over Is barrels and under
100 barrels daily capacity, 80 cents
bushel; 100 barrels capacity and
over, Is cents a bushel; interior mills
located 20 miles or more from rail-
road, 40 cents a bushel
The increases sought are: Mills of
25 barrel capacity and under, As
cents bushel; over Is and under
100 barrel capacity, 40 cents; 100
barrel capacity and over. 35 cents a
bushel; interior mills located 20 or
more miles from q railway, so cents
a bushel.
Millers also ask that custom grind
ing or exchange rates be increased
Their demands for the increased
milling rates are based they say, on
the increased cost OF both skilled and
unskilled labor, the higher rate on
borrowed money and that all ma
chfnery. repairs and other items have
risen greatly In price since the pres
snt rates were established.

Avoid Waste of Man Labor
In Haymakng This Season

The hay crop, even when the labor
supply is normal, causes more worry,
anxiety, and disappointment than
any other crop. The time for har-
vesting is comparatively short. 9th
err crops require attention at the same
time. And the weather is to be reck-
Oned with This year, when farm
labor all over the country is very
scarce, the difficulties of hay-making
will be much greater, and larger
quantities of hay will be lost than
usual-unless labor-saving methods
are more generally employed.
A great deal of labor is wasted
every year during hay harvest, say
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, not because
of actual idleness on the part of the
workers, but because labor is eX-
pended unnecessarily on operations
that do not utilize it to the best ad-
vantage If an old method can be
superseded by new one that VIII
enable the same number Of men to
accomplish more work in the same
length of time, or fewer men to ac-
complish the same work in the same
length of time, it will mean more hay
saved, more profit to the farmer, and
a better condition for the country.
Shift Burden From Man to HORSE
Although there is scarcity OF man
labor, there are still plenty OF horses
on most farms, and herein largely
lies the solution of the problem. On
farms where considerable hay is
grown methods must be adopted by
which the greater part of the heavy
labor is done by horses. This will
necessitate the general use of certain
types of labor-saving machinery,
some of them not so common in the
east, which have been thoroughly
tested and proved satisfactory in the
western part of the United States.
ETyl.a L hOxx no
not make a very heavy investment In
new haying apparatus, for by rear
ranging the working of his crew and
using a little more horse labor Tor
the hard work he can add consider
ably to the efficiency of MS crew.
Here are some suggestions made
by the specialists for avoiding waste
of labor in haymaking.
Do not run two or more mowers
close together. If the front mower
has any trouble that causes it to
stop, all of the mowers usually wait
while repairs are made on one. There
is a tendency, also, for drivers. to
waste too much time talking when
they stop occasionally to let the
teams rest. A good practice when
two or more machines are used is for
each driver to law off land" for
himself and work Independently, so
there will be no interference from
other machines.
Side Delivery Rake Is Best
Do not turn hay by hand. 1t is too
costly. The cheapest and most eff
cient way Of stirring hay in the
windrow is with a two-horse tedder
One man will do more work than IL
men stirring with hand forks. 1t is
not even necessary to. have a man to
run the tedder. A boy big enough td
. drive a team will do just as much
work.
A one-horse rake operated by a
man makes raking very costly. A
two-horse sulky rake is better, but
the side-delivery. rake is hest. When
curing is done in the swath and a
hay loader is used, the crew can
start taking the hay from the wind
row as soon as the side delivery has

"See that bunch of horses over
yonder?" asked the farmeri 1ndlcat-
ing six or seven animals which were
impatiently crowding against fence
growing just beyond the reach of
their outstretched noses. There's
marketing lesson in what those
horses are doing. If they only knew
it, a little pushing in unison would
lay that fence flat, but the trouble
is they don't understand, and so they
won't push together.
Then. after a pause: Human folks
are a good bit like those horses. A
lot of them don't know how to push
and pull-in unison. Think of the
unutilized power those animals have,
and think of the infinitely greater
power we intelligent humans have,
the word: Cooperation! A good
many farmers have learned tits big
advantages, but their number is still
small beside the millions who might
benefit from it.
There is the Tillamook County
Creamery association, for example"
continued the farmer. That's won
derful organization which has set
lot of people to. thinking; and the
beauty of it is, their achievements
are getting bigger every year
Recent Figures From Til1anook
This farmers thoughts had been
turned toward cooperative marketing
by reading a recent report from Till
amook County Creamery association
in Oregon, composed of twenty-five
farmer factories which cooperate in
the sale of their products. The re-
port of the secretary-manager for
1919 indicates that the total sales of
cheese from these twenty-five fac
tories amounted to $1,954,039, with
additional receipts for whey cream
of $32,305 and for whey butter,
$2,5O6. With the estimated sales
from miscellaneous sources amount
ing to $18,635, the total for the year
was $2,007,475.
In the first year of its existense,

In making I've hominy, or hulled
corn, any variety of white or yell
low dent or flint corn may be used,
preference being usually given to
varieties having large or fairly large
kernels, as they are easier to hull
than the smal1-kerneled varieties.
Only clean, sound ears should be
used. New corn is better than old
corn for the purpose. In fact, hon.
my of the finest flavor can be made
from new corn that has just ripened
sufficiently so it can be shelled from
the cob.
Instead of boiling the corn in a
I've solution, as has been directed in
published recipes, the department of
agriculture recommends treating the
corn in a cold solution made as fol-
| lows: -
Take five ounces of I've (also known
as sodium hydroxide, or caustir
soda), five quarts of corn, and six
quarts of water. Dissolve the I've
in the water and stir in the corn.

Then wash thoroughly to remove the

Deadlest Beasts Prove to Be Four-Flushers;
Science Makes Discovery in Worlds Behalf

The announcement by the Universe
ty of Arizona, after long research,
that there never has been an anthem
ticated case of death resulting from
the bite of ella monster, leads Rob-
ert H. Moulton to write in Popular
Mechanics:
Trust a scientific shark to take
the thrill out of what has always
been mysterious and e-inspiring
until science got to fooling with it.
For there are other things, also, it
appears-many others-which once
helped to add to the wildness and
woclliness Of the west, but which
now, alas, are no more.

investigators found out, or at least
so it is said, that the hydrophobia
skunk's bite is no more dangerous
than that of the common house or

made one double windrow across the
field. If the sulky rake is used, the
crew will have to wait until the rake
has gone several times across the
field: In this matter the extent of
the haying operations has to be con-
Eidered, of course. 7 On very small
farms the use of the side delivery
rake might not be economy.
If the weather is clear and the
hay is in proper condition, there will
further labor till the hay is thorough
ly cured and ready to be hauled. But
hay caps will pay for themselves in
one year when the weather is bad.
They are more especially needed with
clover, alfalfa, and pea vines, all of
which cure slowly.
If hay is to be punched, the hand
method is too expensive. A two
horse sullSy rake can bunch 80 acres
or more day and boy can drive 1t
Just as we'll as man. Even more
labor can be saved, however, by using
the push rake to bunch hay after it
has been raked into the WindroW. 1t
is a good plan to have two men
working together to round up the
lunches, since more can be accom-
plished than when each works alone.
1t is waste of time to pitch hay
onto a small hayrack on a high
wheeled wagon. Use large hayrack
on a Iow-wheeled wagon.
Loading hay with pitchforks is the
hardest, slowest and most expensive
way. The men are working constant
ly, but the horses are doing nothing
most of the time If a loader is
used, the hardest part of the work
is done by the horses and the men
can handle about 80 per cent more
hay.
Save Labor ON the Stack
The push rake furnishes the most
economical method of hauling hay
to the stack, barn, or hay press if
the distance is not much more than
one-fourth of a mile. One man, or a
boy, with a good push rake and a
team used to the work will handle
three times as much hay as two men
with a small rack on high-Wheel
wagon.
Stacking hay with a pltsh rake and
an overshot stacker mounted on
wheels eliminates nearly all OF the
fork method. With a yield of one to
one and a half tons to the acre, two
men on the stack can easily handle
all the hay brought by three push
rakes, accomplishing a vast saving
in labor and hay over the pitchfork
method: Another method not so good
but still vastly better than the
pitchford method is stacker equip
ment with a double harpoon fork.
The outfit can be made at home and
will cost very little compared with
the labor it saves, but harder work
is necessary to get the hay on the
stack with the overshot stacker.
When hay is to be baled from the
field, one man by working in the
afternoon, can round up enough hay
which has been punched by push
rakes to keep the press going next
morning until the dew is gone from
| the hay in the windrow. When the
hay is not thus rounded up the crew
will lose two hours or more on morn
| ings when there is a heavy dew.
Carelessness in setting the press
may result in loss of labor. When
| the press is properly set two men
can get plenty of hay to it from
! the stack.

Farmers Learning Benefit
OF Cooperative Marketing

and 1919 was 20 per cent over 1913.
-Four factors have played an es-
sential part in making this co-opera-
tive achievement possible, and they
apply very generally to cooperative
marketing of farm products. First,
the farmers were brought to clearly
recognize the need for united effort
in solving their marketing difficult
ties. Second, there was available in
their community q volume OF busl-
ness sufficient to make cooperation
worth while. Third, given these two
conditions, the farmers met the need
by adopting and enforcing standards
for their dairy products. This has
improved the quality of the output
and has produced uniformity, thus
q brand and of advertising on a
large scale Fourth, the association
has employed efficient sales meth

Standardization Essential
The difficulty OF pooling the out t
put of several cheese factories in TIL
iamoo!l county lay in the absence of
Standardization. In consequence, the
association engaged an inspector ana
placed him in general supervision
over the cheese making of the mem
Der factories. From the start this
inspector has made regular visits to
each plant, giving suggestions and
assistance where needed. The money
spent in his salary has repaid the
association many times over. >.
The cheese is inspected. and II
found to conform to the standard set
up by the association, is sold under
the organizations brand. This brand
has become known in nearly every
market on the Pacific coast, and the
reputation which has been built. up
for this associations cheese gives
that body a decided advantage in the
markets.
In many other lines the co-opera-
tive principle has been tried out with
pronounced success. notably in fruit
and vegetable marketing associa-
lions. grain elevator companies, and
cooperative creameries. Farmers
have also proved the value Of coop
erative purchasing. Any one inter-
ested in cooperative marketing or
purchasing should write for inforna-
fion to the bureau Of markets. United

To remove the slight discoloration

pounds of guano. Would it be
better to put half in before
planting and the other half at
planting, or put 1t all in at one
time?
Presumably, the boil weevil has
reached your county. There is no
telling what damage it may do this
summer; Planting is bound to be
late and this will favor weevil dam
age. On the other hand, we have had
quite an excessive fall of rain in re-
cent months, and it may be that the
weather will be hot and dry later
on which will tend to minimize the
damage the weevil might otherwise
do. 1 am disposed to think that ma
long run. On the other hand. L be-
lieve the weevil is likely to do con-
siderable damage in north Georgia
this summer. That being the case,
I would advise the application of all
the fertilizer under the drill row at
the time of planting the cotton or
slightly before. The type of nitro
gen you are using will permit of this
practice with both safety and sat
isfaction.
Under weevil conditions, the idea
isN to develop the cotton plant as rap
idly as possible and by frequent cul.
tivation and liberal fertilization force
it to an early development so a con
siderable number of bolls will be set
before weevil depredations begin in
earnest. When this can be accom-
plished and the plant. kept growing
throughout the season, the weevils
will live on the young and tender
squares in preference to the Older
and harder bolls and so part OF
the crop set on can be matured. In
view of all the light before us rela-
tive to this matter, therefore, we .ad.
wise the use of the fertilizer under
the drill row and at the time sug-
gested. We presume you will with
any sort of good luck get your cot
ton planted between the goth OF
April and the LIST of May. We are
satisfied you will find a good strain
of the Big Boil variety excellent tC
use in your location.
