COUNTY FAIR GROUNDS IN NEED
OF ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS.

In order that the farmers OF the
county may understand the need ofnew
equipment at the county fair grounds,
an investigation has been made by
the County Agent to ascertain Just
what is needed to make the Delaware
County Fair the greatest county fair
in the state.
There is need for cattle barn and
pavilion where judging may be done
on rainy days and where sales can be
held throughout the year. A central
sales pavilion for the county Is
great asset, not only to breeders, but
to the farmers themselves, in that they
can attend these sales and see what
kind Of livestock is being produced in
the county, and to purchase breeding
animals, from time to time.
< Farmers in other counties have con-
sidered sales pavilions such vital fac
tor in the production of livestock that
they have contributed amounts as high
as thirty and forty thousand dollars
for the construction of such buildings.
A new cattle barn in the sales pavil-
ion Is needed very badly at this time.
1t is evident already that there will not
be room for the livestock In the pres
ent building. which will necessitate
the renting of tents as was the case
for the last two years. Tents are
very unsatisfactory in that there is
much danger from storms and the de-
st.uction of valuable breeding ami
mails Thousands of dollars worth of
livestock are placed on exhibition in
order that people Of the county may
have an opportunity to see first-hand

COLESBURG AND MALLORY TOWN.
SHIPS HOLD MEETING.

A large gathering Of farmers from
both townships met at the Colesburg
Consolidated school on Saturday at.
ternoon, June 10th. The main sub
ject for discussion was the road stu
ated in that district, as all the enter
prises of that district are determined
by the road problems.
Several speakers appeared on the
program and rendered allotted subjects
well. The result of this meeting indi-
Gated that the farmers are all agreed
that the road problems should be solv-
ed and that work should begin at once
by the committee. Through the eff
forts Of the program committee and
others, who have been working on the
road problems in that community, sew
eral others We're suggested. One COM
mittee to work on the question OF
gravel, one on the rock, committees on
finance and another to post themselves
on county, state and national laws ef-
fecting road building. These COM
mittees are to report at a meeting to
be held on July 18th, at which time
the farmers Of the community will DC
informed as to the progress OF the
work of the committees.
1t is hoped that some tangible work
be undertaken before the school opens
this fall. These Farm Bureaus thru
their cooperation, have set an ex-
ample for other Farm Bureaus in the
matter of studying their local needs
and adopting some one problem and
solving it. The elimination of the
road problem in their community will
pave the way for many other commun-
ity enterprises in the future. The
men who are instrumental in promot-
ing these enterprises are to be giver
considerable credit for their interest
and ability in meeting the situation.

counts on maintenance OF horses. Mr..
C. B. Reed and Jessie Tyrrell were sell
best development. The two crops
just mentioned are quite valuable
from this standpoint. Where these
are lacking provision should, be made
to provide plenty Of forage for the
growing pigs, and in fact, it will pay
to provide same for all the swine. A
good mixture that may be seeded at
any time is as follows:
One bushel each of oats and barley,
with four pounds of rape. This may
be seeded in lot close to hand which
is used for hog run. It is pre-
ferable to establish two or three such
seedlings so that the pastures may be
had number of times. In this man
.ner, large amount Of forage can be
provided throughout the summer sea-
son, and if not pastured too closely,
will provide a large amount OF feed.
The ration in this forage mixture
provided the protein which Is very
necessary to the growing pigs and
helps to build up the ration for the
older hogs, which are being fattened.
Furthermore, some farmers may find
it advisable to produce as much pork
on forage crops as possible, owing to
the fact Of the uncertainty Of the
markets. The feeding of grains
should be studied with the utmost care
and wherever possible, grain should
be provided with the pasture ration
at hand, which is always some form Of
forage crop. The ranking of forage
for the production of swine are as
follows.
Alfalfa, clover, several mixtures OF
seeding containing rape and blue
grass.

be of considerable value to this COM
mittee.
These men will report to the insti
tute this fall, the result of their find
ings. In regard to dairy feeding,
markets were considered the greatest
problem. The feeding problems will
be taken up through the institute while
cost accounts will be undertaken in
regard to producing dairy products.
Geo. Griffith was selected Chairman of
the committee, to work out cost ac-
counts in milk production. In regaR
to cattle, cost accounts will also be
kept by r. E. Chase and ]. Barr, who
have agreed to determine the cost Of
producing cattle. This committee will
also report at the institute.
i In poultry production, equipment,
diseases ond producing poultry
were considered the main problems, in
which was agreed that better houses,
sanitation and culling were very es
sential in meeting these problems. The
committee to work on poultry has not
DIS YET UCSu uut 10 lihCly
that it will consist of Mrs Basker-
vile, Mrs. Ross Chase, Mrs. Tyrrell
and Mrs. Tibbitts will assist in the
promotion Of the poultry work in the
township.
The County Agent then presented
the plan for perfecting county ex-
change, for the purpose of pooling the
buying power of the county, in the
purchasing of supplies and also in the
selling of farm products. 1t was
voted that this work be undertaken by
the local Farm Bureau as one of it's
larger problems The final COM
mittee for the promotion of this work
will be determined in future meet
ing.
President B. E. Fitzpatrick regretted
that more farmers did not attend this
business meeting, such meetings be-
ing very important II the farmers are
going to work out the problems that
are affecting farm business.

MIDWEST STATES FEDERATIONS
MEET AT AMES.

Representatives of the Farm Bureau
State Federations of twelve midwest
states met at Ames recently for the
purpose of outlining a plan whereby
the selling OF farmers products In
these states might be pooled with par
ticular stress being laid upon the sell
ing OF wool and grain
The purpose Of this new movement
is to place the farmer in control Of his
own market rather than have 1t con-
trolled under the present system or
being subject to the distastes OF specu-
lators and those who wish to gamble
with his products. A start has been
made in this direction in the state OF
Illinois, local business men, farmers.
cooperative organizations, elevators,
ETC., having co-operated in wonderful
manner to assist in this movement.
The big idea is to provide adequate
storage facilities in the elevators OF
the primary markets so that all avail
able grain which is sold by farmers,
may be stored there until there is ad-
equate market at the great consuming
centers. This will do away with the
present method which is so very costly
to the farmer, by which the farmers
grains go to the primary market or
local elevator, is then sold to large
market sometimes controlled by specu-
lators who will manipulate the market
assthey wish and where the farmers
products are held for final distribu-
ton. This may necessitate a re-haul
from the central market, past the
farmers own local township to some
neighboring city where the products
have been purchased. 1t is not un-
common in the county of Delaware
to have some farmer ship car load
of grain to Chicago and at the same
time farmers in another section OF the
county are purchasing corn from the
Chicago markets. This wasteful sys-
TEN of long hauls and improper dis
tribution must be changed. Farmers
should obtain this margin OF profit.
1t will be big boost for the farmers
organization If they can perfect q
system by which the farmers, like any
other business men can establish a
business on a cost-pius basis
