CROP REPORTING SERVICE
By julius H. Jacobson, Field Agent,
Idaho Crop Reporting Service.

Recently was talking to a group
OF farmers concerning government
crop and live stock reports, when ]
was asked of what use crop reports
were. This is a question frequently
asked and can be answered in many
ways. However, was interrupted by
one of the farmers, who asked per-
mission to state his experience. He
said, II had forty acres of potatoes
in 1919 and last fall buyers offered
me $3.50 hundred. This looked
awfully good to me, especially in
view of the fact that l had lost on
potatoes the two previous years.
However, my wife and had been
studying the crop reports as issued
by the government and they all in
dicated that there was a shortage in
every commercial potato state. To-
gether we decided to store the larger
part of our crop until spring. Just
the other day l sold my potatoes for
$500 hundred. Gentlemen" he
added, "The differnce between those
two prices represents what crop re-
ports did for me-"
This is one instance of where a
farmer benefited directly in fin
ancial way. To it might be added
the experience of farmers in south
ern county who were endeavoring to
have creamery built in their neigh
borhood Capital could not be in
terested unless it could be shown how
many mich cows there were in the
territory tributary to that point and
the probable milk production that
could be expected. 1t so happened
that the January live stock report of
the Idaho Crop Reporting Service
was issued about that time, which
estimated the number of mich cows
and milk production by counties for
1919. With this report as basis it
was much easier to interest capital
in the establishment Of a creamery,
since the dairy possibilities Of the re-
gion were Indicated Thus, not only
were farmers benefited individually,
but a whole community was benefited
through the live stock report.
Many other benefits from crop re-
ports could be enumerated, such as
information to railroads
as to the probable crop production
along their lines SO that provision
could be made to reduce as much as
possible the annual car shortage; !
also acquainting prospective settlers

BOYS RELAY RACE

A good time is in prospect for the
boys of Vienna Township next We'd
nesday, May 26, when a relay race
under auspices of Genesee County Y
NJ. C. A. will be run. Boys from this
township will participate, in fact,
boys throughout the county will par
ticipate, so that it will be county
relay race, each boy running half a
mile, and as soon as the course in his
district is finished, he, with the other
runners in that district, will be pick
ed up by an automobile and taken to
Flint, where he can enjoy bath and
supper at the Y. M. G. A. There will
be program of speaking at the sup
per, which will be very interesting.
Fathers, brothers and other people in
terested in boys will participate in the
supper, the charge for which, and for
soap and towel for the bath, will be
55c. Boys who wish to participate
in the run should notify Floyd Pratt
at Reid Bros Drug store without de-
lay. Each boy who desires to partici-
pate in the run will have to provide
himself with physicians certificate
that he is in proper physical con-
dition to make the effort. Local ply
sicians will probably make this ex-
animation without charge. 1t is not
expected, however, that boys will ex-
ert themselves in any harmful degree.
1t will be a race where time over the
half mile course will count. Boys
from IL to 20 years of age will be
eligible. This will be one grand,
good time for the boys and we hope
and expect that many of this vicin-
ity will take part. The run will start
at about 4 o'clock and the supper will
begin at $50 o'clock, so that the
boys will have a chance to attend
school, as usual, and yet take part
in the race. p. V. Sangren, Supt. of
Clio Schools, is a member cf the
county committee which will have
general supervision of the race. Now,
let's all take hold and give the boys a
good time-and if we are cid boys
let's join with them and play we are
young for an hour or two. Our boys
and girls are our most important as
set. Here is a chance TO make them
believe we are sincere in the state
ment. They will need some automo-
biles and some men to drive them.
Who will volunteer to go? walk
right up and say Hellow Why, yes,
I'll go, sure I'll go.

JUDGING LAYING HENS

The keeping of poultry now is a
matter of expense. Cheap chicken
feed is no longer available. Every
ounce of grain is valuable. Therefore,
it ought not to be a hard matter to
impress folks with the advantage of
being able to Gull the non-productive
hens from their flocks. This it is un-
doubtedly possible to do and that the
farmers of this section may do it for
themselves-farmers and all others
interested in poultry-County Agri-
cultural Agent S. S. Smith is going
to bring an expert here from M. A.
c. to show them how. This service
will be absolutely free; all that is
necessary is to go to the places where
the demonstrations will be made.
The date will be next Tuesday, May
25, and the first demonstration will
be made at the home Of Seward Col
lins, on the Dixie, beginning at 100
o'clock. Following this, and begin
ming at 100 o'clock demonstration

ACHIEVEMENT DAY PROGRAM

The second annual Achievement
Day Program of Genesee County
Boys and Girls Clubs was held Sat
urday, May 18, 1920, at the bort
school, Flint. There are several clubs
in the county and the number is rap
idly increasing. There isn't a factor
in the school curriculum which will
more closely unite rural school with
its community than boys and girls
clubs. There are clubs to interest
every boy and girl in a school, such
as sewing clubs, canning clubs, pig
clubs, calf clubs, and garden clubs.
The Waldo school has had Sewing

Day State Club Leader, Mr. Turney,
