Milk Won't Stay Sweetif Carelessly
Handled, Never Mix New Milk With Old

No matter how well milk has been
handled up to the time it is delivered
to the consumer, it can not be ex-

poured into pitcher, pan, or other

Now and then the question is
asked, What benefit does the farm
err receive from the government crop
reports?" Also, DO they not play
into the hands Of the. ,speculators?"
Here are a few facts that may help
to clear up doubts as to the immense
value of the crop estima ting work
done by the United States depart
ment Of agriculture.
Farmers are benefited directly and
Indirectly. Because the reports cover
crop and live stock conditions, pres
ent and prospective supply, for all
states, and because they are I'M
biased, disinterested, and as nearly
accurate as it is practicable to make
them, farmers can use the informa-
ton they contain as a guide to plant
ing and marketing; that is, by OBJ
serving whether the indicated sup
ply is or will be relatively large or
small as compared with previous
years. the farmer can decided intel
ligently whether to increase or de-
crease the acreage in particular
crop. and whether to sell his harvest
ed crop Immediately or hold for a
probable advance in price at a later
date. Hundreds of farmers have
written the department that they
have profited from few hundred to
several thousand dollars in single
season by regulating their paintings
and marketings in this way, and
many farmers state they have OBJ
tanned top prices year after year by
studying the crop reports. Every
farmer could and should do the
same.
Indirectly Benefits Many
Indirectly the monthly crop reports
benefit farmers in many ways. For
instance, all banking institutions
study the government estimates of
crop acreages and prospects and the
live stock estimates as a guide to
the amount of funds that will be re-
quired, and which they will be called
upon to advance for financing farm
ers through the crop season, as well
as the movement of crops after har-
vest Railroads use the crop re-
ports as guide in arranging to
supply cars when and where need
ed for moving crops and live stock,
so far as cars are available for that
purpose. Manufacturers, merchants,
dealers, and business men are all
interested in the crop report because
it enables them to plan their opera
tions far enough in advance so that
the machinery, farm equipment, and
supplies which farmers will require
can be supplied when and where
neededl thereby avoiding costly and
annoying delays; and to the extent
that business men avoid losses they
can afford to sell at reduced prices
which benefits farmers as well as
other customers.
Crop reports are of fundamental
Importance to all marketing and dis
tributing agencies, and to the extent
that the risk involved in buying
farm products and carrying them
in storage until needed is reduced
legitimate buyers can operate on
competition with each other, they
can afford to pay higher prices to
farmers.
Speculation Thrlves on Uncertainty
Speculation thrives and depends
upon lack Of information, uncertain
ty, and confusion on the part OF
farmers and the public. Crops and
live stock are grown in the open and
can not be hid. Spectators have
their own means of getting infor-

depend upon the quality of the pro-
duct.
Now the farmers do their own
marketing through the association.
Sixteen warehouses, properly equip
ped with grading and packing ma
chinery, have been erected. The beans
are carefully graded and then packed
in new, overweight 100-pound bags,
which are neatly sewed and branded.
The association demands clean cars
from the railroad, and in loading the
sewed ends of the sacks face one
way. The association believes in the
bureau of markets proved theory
that when buyer throws open the
door of a car he is instantly i'm
pressed if the contents present a
clean. orderly appearance The New
Mexico association has 1900 members
and marketed $50 carloads of beans
last year. 1t is constantly calling on
the bureau of markets for assistance,
which is cheerfully given.

Feeders show an increasing ten
dency toward finishing off their beef
cattle at younger ages. In general
this tendency is created by two
causes: First, consumers are demand
ing small, high-quality cuts of meat;
second, the cost of producing beer,
due to advance in land values, feeds,
labor and taxes, has increased to such
an extent that feeders and breeders
can seldom hold their cattle to adj
vanced ages at profit. General
conditions in the past few years have
indicated that no class of beef yet
produced more nearly fulfills the re-
quirements of both producer and
consumer than baby beef, and the
feeding of baby beeves has been in
creasing in popularity.

dairy specialists of the United States
department of agriculture say. Some
times in very hot weather house,
keepers complain that in spite of all
precautions it sours quickly, even In
the ice box This is often due to the
fact that the air of the ice box, al
though it seems cold in contrast with
the heat outside, is really not cora

most of tt+s milk comes by morning
trains from a considerable distance.
it is often impossible to deliver fresh
mornings milk in time for breakfast,
and that MIXED the morning before

on early delivery. They would get
their milk from twelve to eighteen
hours fresher if they would take it
in the afternoon instead.

Feeders Finish Off Beef Cattle
... AT Younger Years, Bigger Increase

dustry steers were kept on the range
until from three to five years of age.
The use of better bulls with consez,
quent improvement in quality and
early maturity of market cattle, to-
has made it possible to put just as
much flesh on the animals by the
time they are from ten to twenty
months of age. With improvements
in breeding and in feed-lot methods
heavier cattle with more quality may
in time be put on the market at
even younger age. The precise age
at which steers should be marketed
depends upon several conditions
which must be determined by the in
dividual feeder.

kets every fifteen minutes. The sales
of live stock in the Chicago yards

country is more than $4,000, 900 900

When a market is oversupplied
with a product-particu1arl a highly
perishable fruit or vegetables great
waste results. The product spoils
and becomes unfit for use and the
dealers suffer financial loss on &C
count of this spoilage and also on
account of the fact that they must
sell their stocks at sacrifice in
order to dispose of them at all. Gluts
of this kind used to occur frequently
and were nearly always coincident
with a scarcity of food in another
place. Since the market news serv-
ice on fruits and vegetables was in
stituted, this situati has improved
materially.

Incubator Troubles

CLEMSON COLLEGE-Prof. F. c.
Hare, poultry husbandman, has re.
ceived recently letters of complaint
as to losses from incubator hatch
ing of chicks, and has made the
following suggestions in reply.
There is no good reason why sc
many chicks should fail to hatch. II

machine should be run one-half to
one degree higher throughout the

egg chamber reached 103 degrees
after the eggs were placed in it.
Some machines may need to be run
at temperatures as high as 105 de-
grees in order to get the chicks out
on time.
sprinkle the eggs twice daily on
the 18th, 10th, and Goth days. Pans
of water in the incubator are not

wide movement is on foot to elm
mate many of them. Cooperative
selling organizations are already do
ing much to promote uniformity and
Standardization. 1t means money to
them not only because of the ia
miliarity of the trade with the con-
tanners used but in permitting meth
DDS of loading into cars that reduce
the likelihood of breakage to min

After a careful canvass of the sit
uation the bureau of markets, be-
lieves, and, in this, those who have
studied the problem are of the same
opinion, that five standard hampers
and four standard round-stave bas-
kets are sufficient to meet all ship

sions or shape, and strength. In ad-

The sample of grass enclosed is
known as Timothy. 1t is a common
hay grass of the northern states. 1t
is not extensively grown in the south
because it is only we'll adapted to
moist, rich soils. 1t does not thrive
satisfactorily on either high, dry or
sandy lands even though they may
be very fertile naturally. It does
best on soils which contain a consid-
cradle amount of lime and humus. 1t
is rather a slow grass to start off in
the spring, and it is not as we'll
suited for pasturage as some other
kinds of grass.
1t will be best to seed this grass
in the autumn, say sometime in Oc-

should be sown per acre. 1t may be
scattered in the drill and lightly
covered or 1t mar be nroadcasted
and a weeder used to incorporate 1t
into the soil. When this grass is
sown, the land should have been pre-

mo SEED TREATMENT WILL

son-Plant Early Seed.

NO known seed treatment will
prevent rust in wheat. Rust is a
plant disease and is spread in GER
tain definite ways. Weather cOndi-
tiOns make it easier or harder for
the rust to spread. But rust is not
caused by weather" says Professor
Alvin Kezer of the Colorado Expert
ment Station. ''rhe best that can
be done at present to control rust
is to plant early maturing varieties
of wheat-wheats that tend to rip
en- in the hottest part of the sea-
son before the rust normally devel-
ops.
''In his respect, Marquis, which
ripens earlier than Defiance. does
not rust as badly if the two are
planted at the same time. Turkey
Red or Kanred winter wheat ripens
earlier than either of these spring
wheats and, consequently, does not
rust as badly. Early maturing
wheats ripen earlier than late ma
turing wheats and thus escape rust
attacks better. This latter condi-
tion has been especially true in
1920.
Spring wheats planted early in
the spring will mature earlier than
late planted spring wheats. Conse-
quently, early planted spring
wheats escape rust anA are not us
ually affected as badly as late plant
ed spring wheats.'

OF 5,009.991 acres in cultivation in
the state this year. including wild
hay. compared with 4,S20946 acres
reported by county assessors last
year. Since present indications are
that the reports of county assessors
are about 10 per cent incomplete,
the total area in cultivation in the
state this year is above 5,500000
acres. not including orchards These
reports include 49,117 farms on
which land was actually cultivated
this year The census bureau found
46,170 farms in the state in 1910, and
the area reported to the bureau as
under cultivation in 1909 was z,253,-

UNDULY ALARMED

The Star is informed that Mr.. w. j.
Folks, late candidate for representa-
tive. has said that he fears Ocala town
is against Marion county, that the
candidate who was nominated against
him favors no-fence. and will work
that way with the assistance of 0cala
if he is elected to the legislature, and
therefore shouldn't be elected.
We hope Mr.. Folks has been mis-
understood. IL he hasn't been, we beg
to inform him that he imagines a
vain thing. To our positive knowledge
a great majority of Ocala people
have only the best of good wishes for
their country cousins and a sincere
desire to work them for the common
advantage. Also, Ocala people are not
even thinking Of no-fence. They
have a no-fence law in the town
limits, and fence or no-fence In the
country districts does not concern
them. The no-fence movement that
Mr.. Folks fears is entirely out in the
country.
No matter where il: is it was sup
posed by all except few naalcon-
tents to be settled for two years in
the primary of last June. These NAL
contents viii either have TO abide by
the decision of the primary or bolt
the party. If they bolt, they will not
be allowed to return except as low
privates in the rear rank. The DEM
ocratic party in this county has
Strengthened out a right smart in the
last two years, and it isn't as straight
now as it is going to be. It's tired
of men who break their word.
The best thing Mr.. Folks can do
is to gather together his friends and
come in town tomorrow night to the
ratification. They'll feel at peace
with all the world when they start for
home.
