GOOD FARM HOUSES FAVORED
Essential That Dwellings Be Close to
Other Buildings-Flowers -
Aid Appearance.

The dwelling is the headquarters of
the farm business. Chores are done
before breakfast and often after sup
per, the stock need close attention, GER
tain farm seeds are kept in the house,
the hired man may sleep there, and
the women folks often take care of
the poultry; thus II is almost essential
that the house be reasonably close to
the other buildings, says the United
States department Of agriculture.
The value Of the house constitutes
an important part Of the real estate
value of the farm. On the higher
priced corn-belt farms the value Of
the dwelling represents from to 10
per cent Of the real estate value Of
the farm, while In the eastern part Of
the United States this percentage Is
more commonly 20 per cent or over.
The beautifying Of the yard by
shrubbery, flower beds, and good
lawn involves the occasional use Of
manure, the introduction Of fertile
soil, the use of team and of small
farm tools. all Of which are available
on the average farm.

BY utilizing the by-products of
their business and handling them in
large quantities many concerns have
added materially TO their profits.
There is a valuable object lesson in
this to farmers in many parts of the
country who have not been market
ing the products of their woodlands.
Most farmers have not realized that
timbered areas can be made to yield
regular Crop" which could be
counted profitable by-product, IL
not principal product-nor do they
appreciate the benefit that would come
through handling the output Of the

other wood-using machinery Is to be

required and the salary and expenses
of the manager and his co-workers
will have TO be provided.
Permanent Benefits Secured.
Not the least valuable result to be
expected from cooperative forest
products association is the establish
ment Of permanent local industries,
and prosperity resulting 10 the whole
community. in contrast 10 the ex-
ploitation of forests by temporary in
dustries and Cimported labor. The
tendency has been to develop the
wood-using industries entirely apart
from the community life. Forest re-
sources have been exploited so ex-
tensively the imported labor has
largely supplemented local labor. One
of the unfortunate results of this pol
icy has been to cause the abandon
ment of farms I'm certain communities,
notably in New England and Pennsyi-
vania.

A survey made by the bureau Of

showed that there were approximate

marketing organizations in this coun-
try. These included grain warehouses
and elevators, creameries and cheese

also shown in the prices for garden
beet, carrot onion. spinach and Eng
llsh and Swedish turnip seed. An in
crease of about IS per cent is noted
in the prices for garden peas, while
similar increases are shown for musk
melon, summer and winter squash,
and tomato seed. This condition
should prove favorable to extensive
garden planting which is urged by
the United States department of agri-
culture.
Replies to inquiries addressed to
representative seed dealers showed
that few in industrial centers, par
tcularly in the East, were selling from
10 TO 80 per cent less seed than last
year. The cause, apparently, was the
of labor on truck farms.
Compared with normal conditions be-
fore the war; the reduction in these
Eastern centers ranges from 10 to 40
per cent.
On the whole the sales to home gar
deners seem to he larger than those of
last year, ranging from 8 per cent
Increase in some sections to so per
cent in others. Dealers In the most
Northerly cities were unable to report

| Some members of the sweet potato
and cotton clubs are running fertiliz
er experiment plots in connection

parish. Mr.. Crumpton says that he
has the livliest bunch of club mem
bers enrolled this year he has even
worked with. .sn.
The purchase of purebred pigs by
| club members in some communities
has caused farmers to buy purebred
stock, writes H. H. Hester, agent in
Ped River parish. Club members are
doing excellent work, he says.
On Wednesday and Thursday Of
this week, F. W. Spencer, corn club
agent, met with clubs at Sunny Hill,
Mt. Hermon and Franklinton, at
which time these clubs went into per-
manent organization, reports J. V.
Rabb, agent in Washington parish.
From the present outlook the club
work will be the best we have ever
had in the parish, says Mr.. Rabb.
The best prospect for outstanding
results in club work was noticed in
the cotton club patch of Oren Sayes
Of Wick, writes F. A. Swami, agent
in Avoyelles parish. This club mem
ber has his soil in perfect state of
cultivation, has applied the necessary
fertilizers, has used standardized
seed, and judging by his past records
he will keep up his good work. Mr..
Swami warns that Avoyelles has led
the state before in production by
cotton club members and that his
boys are determined to do so again
this year.
twenty-five members of the Pine
Grove Club, Rapides parish, attend
ed picnic and tish~fry this week, re

agent. Mr.. Baker says that such af-
fairs are very stimulating to club in
terest. Other club rallies will be
held OIL the next three Saturdays.
Two canning and sealing outfits
for girls, and seed corn for AZ corn
club boys were received this week,
writes Geo. w. Bofne, agent in Allen
parish. This was made possible
through the generosity Of the banks,
chambers of commerce and individual
to club fund which
has been placed in the agents hands
for such purchases as may be neces-
sary to carry on club work. The next
purchase will be velvet bean seed for
club boys.
Regular visits to club memberz
every two weeks are made by J. J.
Nixon, agent in Natchitoches parish.
Each member is required first to
make either verbal or writ item re-
port on all work done, after which
are given for the next
two weeks. We find that club work
must have regular attention to get
worth while done, com
ments Mr. Nixon.
