Plant Odd Land to Trees.

A wood lot on an Iowa farm is a
necessity according to the forestry de-
nartment of Iowa State college. Iowa
uses one billion feet Of lumber annually
worth $5O,OCO,OOO of which a large ma
jcrity is rough lumber which could be
grown at home.
BY planting hillsides, odd corners
on the farm where road or railroad
has cut it Off and places where erosion
has been had good investment can
hC gotten. If land is subject to over
flow cottonwood will grow and it will
in short time furnish desirable rough
lumber.
Soft woods make excellent fence
posts when treated with cresOte and
have been found to last over ten years
which make them desirable from the
standpoint of cost.

Get Soy Bean Seed Early.

Soy bean seed for Iowa farmers
will be scarce this spring. according
to f. S. Wilkins of Iowa State college
who has been carving on experiments
with this crop. Due TO the increase il
the number of users and the small
number of seed growers it would pay
any farmer to raise good bean seed.
Be careful in buying seed. points
out Mr.. Wilkins as much late matur-
inc stock was placed on the market

and will not suit Iowa conditions.
The best varieties for hogging down
i'll Iowa are the Manchu. Black Eye
brow and Mongol. If the beans are to
be raised for slmgo. Medium Green.
Medium yellow or Mongol are desir-
able.
If seed has been kept over from
last season be sure that it has good

Farm Conditions Be:tering.

That we have reached the bottom
OF the period Of depression which has
taken Iowa farmers in the slide anG
that we VIII have better times from

u. Pearson. president OF Iowa State
college in an address to farmers al
the short course.
I'VE have reached the bottom in the
period we have just gone through and
we are bound to start up grade soon.
The horizon for agriculture is brighter
than ever before and the new year
promises to bring good things for the
farmers.
THE college has been accused of
increasing production in Iowa without
bOthering about the markets and that
this has caused some Of the trouble.

Horse Outlook is Bright.

Iowa horse breeders are more Ell.
tluSiastic over the outlook for 1921
han eyer. according to the sentiment
expressed ut their annual meeting of
the Iowa Draft Horse Breeders as
sOcia ton.
In their annual meeting and confer
cncc at Iowa State college during
Farm and hCme' week, they were I'M
animously of the opinion that the
horse industry has suffered less than
any other important industry in the
past year. They were also agreed
that in both city and country Il sen

that ii is sinking in through experience
that the horse is not back number

Feed Cheap Corn to Cattle.

! Iowa farmers who have Il large guam
| tity of corn on hand and do not want
| to sell it at loss should use all they
can on feeding. says ". T. La Grange
Of the animal husbandry department
OF Iowa State college.
With corn worth from 80 to GO cents
on the farm it would seem that steers
could be fed corn with the assurance
that when sold. they will return Il good
profit for the feeding operation. How
ever the cattle market has been un-
certain and farmers are loath to OK
prrience again what they did last year
in producing beef. Feeders bought
right are half sold is the old saying
and yet cattle men know by painful ey-
perience that in the past their feeding
cattle were bought wisely. fed and
managed wisely and yet the returns
did not show Il profit. The farmer
must consider various items in t&ur-
ing his cattle feeding operations, such
as original cost Of the steers, inter
est on the investment, cost of labor
and feed. upkccp of equipment, pounds
OF pork produced by hogs following.
fertility value returned 10 the farm in
tho way Of manure. etc.
For those farmers who are feeding
cattle, considering the present price
0l corn. it would seem advisable to
full feed shclled corn. giving the steers
all the Silase they would clean up
along with a protein supplement such
rs ccttonsccd or oil meal preferably
the latter if there is not a great deal
Of difference in price.
The length Of the feeding period will
depend on various factors such as the
amount Of feed on hand. the price Of
feed and quality Of cattle being fed.
From 80 to 120 days is the cheapest
feeding period for grain.
