THE WONDERFUL FARM BUREAU GROWTH

Probably the most wonderful piece of organizing done
in this country in century Except military mobilizing
has been that of the farm bureaus welded by states
into the American Farm Bureau Federation.
1t is only very few years since first heard of the
beginning of this widespread organization, then
scattered community farm bureaus But during the past
two years they have been growing by leaps and bounds
until today the American Farm Bureau Federation is the
greatest single popular force in the countryanyway in
the agricultural parts of our country.
Our last information that all but six states had
joined the federation and that three of the six
pected to come in Immediately.
In most organizations of quick growth, flghty mem
bers put fghty people in the places Of leadership with
the result that the whole movement is discredited
among sane people Not so with theAmercan Farm Blu
reau Federation It's officers and managing committees
are all of solid substance and correct Judgment and
result you may look for great things from this force
full body of agriculturists
The Columbus Dispatch is franchise member in
national editorial service which has expert reporter
in close touch with the farm bureau federation chiefs and
expect that enterprise in this direction will keep
readers informed constantly the large movements
of the farm bureau federation.

tell folks about lumber in their own language, that is in

wilt incline the hearts of the

subordination and obedience to
government; and entertain a
brotherly affection for one an

thou wilt most graciously be

Welded on Deathbed.

In Philadelphia a dramatic bit
of romance became public the
other day when it was learned
that Francis ]. Donnelly, a
wealthy young man, believed to
to be dying, wed his sweetheart
on his deathbed, willed her $780,
900 and then, under the stimulus
of his neWfound happiness, de-
fed all laws of medicine and be-
gan to recover.
That is the only reason the
physician can give for the re-
markable progress he has shown
in a gallant fight for life at the
Abingdon Memorial hospital,
where the belief is now express
ed that he will live.
Sometime ago Donnelly was
stricken with appendicitis and a
hurried operation was decided
upon. Alarming symptoms de-
veloped and then pneumonia set
in. He expressed the desire to
wed his childhood sweetheart,
Miss Emma A. Lacy. and the
ceremony was performed last
Saturday at his bedside.

are always after you. If you
lend it you are always after 'em.

sorrow. It's the cause of happi-

hOssins Down Corn.

Ward low price Tor corn and
fair price for hogs during the
coming fall. Kentucky farmers
can market their grain and pro-
duce pork in no better way than
by turning hogs into their corn
fields to hog off the crop, accord.
ing to swine specialists at the
Kentucky Agricultural Expert
ment Station. This method of
fattening swine involves less la
bor in feeding and harvesting
and is therefore more economical
and in addition results in the
greatest returns from manure
and crop residues. The hogs are
also kept in more healthy en-
vironment and should make
more rapid gains when prepared
for the market in this manner.
Experiments conducted by the
station show that tankage fed in
a self feeder as a supplement to
corn made the best combination
for hogging- off purposes. By
this method of feeding the an
imals were kept healthier and
were ready for the market ear
lier than those fed by other
methods. The corn and tankage
produced an average daily gain
of 1,475 pounds of pork on the
animals which received it.
Corn and soybeans grown to-
gether and hogged off also made
a good combination, this system
of feeding resulting in an aver
age daily gain of a little more
than one pound of pork on all
animals in the lot. The six year
average obtained by the station
in hogging down soybeans with
an allowance of two and one
half per cent. of the body weight
of the hogs in corn daily result
ed in an average production of
681 pounds of pork an acre with
a net profit of S15.97 an acre.
Corn alone when hogged off pro-
duced an average daily gain of a
little more than three-fourths of
a pound of pork.
Results obtained in the exper-
iment indicate that it is best to
use hogs weighing about 100
pounds in hogging off fields. If
the animals are smaller than
this they are unable to get the
corn down while larger animals
do not make as economical gains.
From general observations made
in the experiments it pays to
start hogging down corn and
soybeans about the time the
beans are in the dough stage,
putting enough animals in the
field to clean up the crop in
about IS to 40 days. When
corn alone is hogged down the
animals should be turned into
the field as soon as the grain has
nasse6 the oIaZed stage.
