PURDUE MEN STUDY
PRODUCTION OF BEEF

Costs OF producing beef will be
studied again this winter by Purdue
university and the Office of Farm
Management OF the L. S Depart
ment Of agriculture. Last winter p
farms In east central Indiana were
visited once a month and all the de-
tails connected with cattle feeding
were checked and studied. Accurate
records will be kept on similar
number OF farms this year. Atten-
ton is being given to how cattle
feeding fits into the whole farm
business for efficient use OF capital
and labor as well as the different
factors IN the cost of production to
the records obtained. Feed is by
far the largest single item OF cost.
AS a general thing, the credits
from pork and manure have fallen
"A little short OF taking care of all
feed lot expenses other than feed.
m only a light corn ration Is fed or
manure Is handled wastefuIly so as

THE POTATO SHOW GAME.

One of the most fascinating
games known TO the farming bust
ness is one that big potato growers
play among themselves. II is the
potato show game. II usually starts
with a community or county show
and leads up to a state show, such
as the Wisconsin state potato show,
the biggest in the country. Eric
Nicholson OF Pembine Wis. who
learned the Lotato show game in the
Marinette county show. is the cham
pion Triumph potato grower of the
state and to see him preparing his
potatoes for exhibit ia a revelation
in grooming. No horse ever was pre-
pared for a race, no fighter for the
ring. no bride for the altar, with
more care than Mikkelson bestows
on the potatoes he intends TO show
at Milwaukee next month.
