US. FARMERS AT THE TOP
GREATEST PRODUCER OF ANY
COUNTRY On EARTH
Crop Values in 1919 Far Exceed Any
Other Year, Notwithstanding the
Devastating War

The minister OF 2gricultEre has in
his annual report made public many
facts of interest to the whole nation,
and especially to the agricultural por-
ton of it. 1t is shown what may be
done when the whole population of
producers begin to pull together for
a large output. In spite OF the fact
that so large a number of the best la
Dor was withdrawn from the farms
during the period of the war, the coun-
try produced more during the war
than at any time before. The value
of the 1919 crop of agricultural pro-
duce is three times as great as the
average value of the crops produced
during the five year period previous
to the war. The high prices did, of
course, serve to send the figures up,
but the actual increase in production
was notable While the crop values
before the war averaged nearly 6 bill
hon dollars. the 1919 crop is worth
nearly 16 billion dollars. The fact is
also brought out that the amount of
agricultural raw material produced
per individual on the American farm
is considerably greater than that pro-
duced by agriculturalists anywhere
else in the world. The American far
mer produces two and one-half times
as much annually as the Belgian and
German farmer, % times more than
the British, 80 times as much as the
French brother, and six times more
than the Italian farmer. This is due
to the fact that the American farmer
makes use of more and better farm
machinery than his European rival,
and that on the whole his labor tempo
is higher. He works faster. On the
other hand, when it comes to intensive
production per acre, then the Euro
pean farmer far outstrips the Amer
lean. Belgium, Denmark and other
nations have in this respect much to
teach the American farmer.

BETTER TO KEEP GOOD BULLS

When a certain farmer a few years

to his local butcher no records had
been made by any of the bulls
daughters. Within year IL of the
daughters freshened at the ages of
two and three. Records were then
made of milk and butterfat produc-
ton, and to the establishment of every
body the average milk production was
IA, 1902 pounds and the average butter
fat production was 573 pounds.
But before these records were avail
able the bull was dead and his hide
had become leather. Because there
were no records, a $4,000 bull had
been sold for $50. The cow-testing
association tests the dams and daugh-
tiers, and the bun association makes

COVERING FOR CREAM CANS
Great Part of Value Is Lost II Product
Is Exposed to Sun While Be-
ing Hauled.

A great part of the value Of keep
ing cream cool on the farm and at the
station or creamery is lost IL the cream
is exposed to the direct rays of the sun
while being hauled from the farm TO
the point of sale. Far too few people
stop to realize the Importance Of COW
ering their cream cans when bringing
them to town. Expensive jacketed
cans are not necessity to keep the
cream cool. In summer weather just
an ordinary piece of wet burlap thrown
over cans will keep the temperature
of the cream as much as 20 degrees
below what IT would rise to if left I'M
covered while being transported over
the average hauling distance.

Time-care 10 Needed.

Some cows are inclined 10 keep up
the heavy milk flow until calving
time, and the dairyman is apt TO neg
lect drying them up. Some cows dry
themselves while others must be dried
up by the mixer. Care must be taken
or the udder VIII be injured. The
best practice is to cut off the grain
feed, giving no grain at all, and IN
some cases giving less Of other feeds.
The COW should be MIXED only once
a day for a few days. and then the
period Heightened until only once In
four or FIVE days. This should be
kept up until the flow has entirely
