CAN INTRODUCE GOOD
SIRES IN MANY WAYS
Causes of inferior Farm Stock
Briefly Summarized.
Success Comes Only in Large way to
individuals and Communities Who
Have Adopted One Breed and
Stuck Right to It

The causes Of inferiority among live
stock, cattle, sheep, horses and
even chickens may be summed up
briefly. They are:
1. Lack of purpose in breeding OPP
erations.
2. Failure to use good blood.
3. Indiscriminate mixing of different
types and breeds.
f. Lack of good care and manage
ment.
In inaugurating the better sires-
better stock" crusade, the United
States department of agriculture fully
recognizes the obstacles to be met ana
overcome. There are few today who
believe that d scrub is In any way
equal to the purebred or better-bred
animal. The purebred, particularly
the better bred, animal is rapidly find
ing place on farms where heretofore
the less desirable kind were growing.
Those who previously were growing
scrubs are growing good stock, while
those who previously kept good ones
are now growing the better kind.
Good sires may be introduced in
many ways, but among the more prac-
teal are:
|. Individual ownership.
3 Copartnership ownership, where
two or more farmers purchase a sire
jointly, or
3. The agricultural organization,
club, farm bureau, or community own
ership plan.
Good results are seen everywhere
from cooperative efforts along this
line.
The communities as well as individ-
uals that have become most noted
for the animals they have produced
are those that have selected just one
breed, and only one. While no one
would attempt to tell you the breed
you should keep, yet success comes
only in a large way to the individuals
and communities who have adopted
one breed, rather than two or many.
To work out this plan successfully,
the individual likes and dislikes will
have to be overcome or minimfZed.
Where this has been done, marked
progress has been made.

SUPPLY OF GRAIN FOR HENS
Fowls Will Consume More Food il
Spring Than in Fali-Amount
Varies With Breeds.

The feeder must use his own judg-
ment in deciding how much grain to
give the hens, as the amount of feed
which they will eat varies with diff
ferent pens and at different seasons
of the year. They will eat more feed
IN the spring while laying heavily
than the summer and fall when laying
fewer eggs.
A fair general estimate is about one
quart of scratch grains and an equal
weight of mash (about one and half
quarts) daily to ID hens of the gen.
eral purpose breeds, such as the Ply
mouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, or
Wyandottes, or to 10 hens of the small
er or egg breeds. This would be about
seven and half pounds each Of
scratch grains and of mash daily to
100 Leghorns and about nine and a
half pounds of each to 100 general
purpose fowls. If hens have free
range or large yards containing green
feed a general purpose hen will eat
about as pounds of feed in year and
a Leghorn will eat about So pounds. in
addition to the green stuff consumed,

maintenance OF DIRT ROAD
to Remain on Surface-Repair
Ruts Quickly.

To maintain an earth road so that
1t will adequately take care of heavy
traffic 1t is essential first that no wa
ter be allowed to stand on the road
surface or in the bitches, ana second
ly that defects occurring In the sur
face be repaired Immediately and in
a manner that will form crust suffi-
cient to maintain the loads and resist
the wear caused by traffic.
The first can be accomplished only
by grading and draining the road In
manner that will permit water to drain
quickly from the surface after every
rain, and the second by adding clay
and sand in the proper proportions as
required shaping up the surface with
light grader, and keeping the trav-
eled surface smooth and even with the
road planer, after which the earth sur
face eventually becomes smooth and
impervious to water. The result is an
extremely satisfactory road at very
low cost to the public.

$40 miles of federal aid road were I'M

Of May 1, 1920, an average rate of con-

The difficulties of transportation,
the lack of materials, the insufficient
number of contracting organizations,
the scarcity of adequate equipment
and the general shortage of engineer
ing personnel in connection with high

years have reduced road building ac-
tivities to about 81 of the full pro-

Pecan Crop Of Country Is

New Orleans, La.-Louisiana's 1920
pecan crop is only 33 per cent of nor
NAL, according to estimates on Sept.
by the United States department of
agriculture bureau of crop estimates,
and the entire crop of the United
States will be only 81 per cent, against
an 81 per cent yield in 1919.
The figures for Louisiana are based
on returns from pecan growers
throughout the state and the condi-
ton of 100000 pecan trees was taken
into consideration.
The average price received by Lou
isiana growers for the 1919 crop was
zoe per pound, according to the re-
port. Forty per cent of the trees of
bearing age are not producing this
year, it is estimated.

AID SELLING OF
FARM PRODUCTS
Farmer Often Ships to Distant
Markets When Better Prices

VALUE OF MARKET REPORTS
Practice Of Ignoring Nearby Markets
Not Only Means Loss OF Money
but May Result in General Eco
nonic Waste as Well.

The epigram, HE can't see the
woods for the trees" is one that can
well be applied to Ae marketing of
farm products, say specialists OF the
bureau Of markets, United States de-
partment of agriculture. Often mar
keting opportunities at the very doors
Of growers are overlooked. A produc-
er will ship his products to distant
market at considerable expense and
in competition with other growers
when he might have sold them nearer
home at larger profit to himself and
at lower cost TO the consumer. Inc
reason he does not do so generally is
that he is not sufficiently Informed of
the requirements in his more immed1-
ate territory.
Precisely this condition has exist
ed In the state of New Hampshire for
a good many years. Dealers were
equally at fault, for in many leading
cities orders were sent to Boston for
large quantities Of seasonable New
Hampshire products, which, when
traced, were found in some instances
to have been produced and shipped
from stations within a few miles of the
very cities or towns where the dealers
were located.

markets was created in the state Of

location of production and cOnsump-
tion and to bring dealers and growers
together, so that they would not be
working at cross purposes. An inves-
tigatiOn Of the marketing Of peaches
in HillsborO county disclosed that
growers were marketing large per-
centage of the crop in Boston and 9TH
fruit could have been disposed Of to
better advantage at local markets.
Through the bureaus activities the re-
turns to the growers who marketed
their peaches in the state in 1919 were
as much as 100 per cent higher than
the prices received by producers who
continued to ship to out-of-state mar
kets.
Another investigation revealed the
fact that hundreds of pigs purchased
in Massachusetts by New Hampshire
farmers could have been supplied by
local producers. Immediate assistance
was given the New Hampshire farm
ers in purchasing direct Of local swine

pigs were offered in one section they
were marketed to advantage in other
sections where there was a demand for

of this condition will be readily seen

tiers in New Hampshire made out-Of-

mately $4,000, 000-a large percentage
Of which could have been supplied by
