DR.. Hollenheek, state nhog cholera
specialist of Bismarck. spent p couple
of days the past weekk. in l. an M2't.ft effort to
check the cholera outbreak in the vi
cinity Of Glendale. DIR. Miles and the
county agent took him to several Of
the farms that he might talk with the
farmers and advise them as to the
best course to pursue. His advice to
them was to vaccinate with both ser
um and virus before any hogs became
sick. This treatment makes the ami
mails immune from cholera for life.
and is the only safe insurance against
cholera loss
DR.. Hollenbeck says, There is alb
solutely no danger of hogs dying from
cholera if given the double treatment
before they become sick with the dis
ease. 1t is regrettable that so many
farmers take the long chance Of wal
ing until some Of their hogs are sick
to do their vaccinating and conse-
quently an ,aften subjected to heavy
losses that could have been prevented
by vaccinating sooner. Although tho
expense of vaccinating may seem large
at this time, it is about the cheapest
insurance that man can buy when
hog cholera is spreading as rapidly as
it is in this neighborhood."
This word from DIR. Hollenbeck
should be taken as propaganda for
profit. The government pays him q
salary to give advice to farmers in re-
gard to cholera treatment. He does
not treat any hogs himself, and could
not possibly gain anything from CIV
ing this advice.
Warning has been given to all farm
ers and any one who suffers large
losses from cholera has no one to
blame but himself.
Picking seed corn from your field
of standing corn during seed corn
week means dollars in your pocket"
il the slogan for North Dakota corn
growers during the week Of Septem-
per to 10. This has been selected ~
seed corn week by the extension di-
vision and the agronomy department
Of the Agricultural college as an aid
to securing the maximum yield per
acre next year at minimum expense.
Because Of unusually good weather
conditions for corn growing this year,
this crop promises to produce large
yield Of mature corn from one to two
weeks before the usual harvesting
time.
Picking seed ears from the stand
ing corn will save the farmer money
in at least three distinct ways, extern
sion workers point out. It will in
crease his yield per acre next year by
giving him the most healthy, vigorous,
thrifty corn from which to grow the
crop; it will increase the yield per
acre by providing proven, acclimated
seed, instead of seed grown under diff
ferent climatic conditions, and it will
save him from 81 to 81 per bushel on
the price he would pay if he bought it
from commercial seed men.
A carload of dairy cattle for every
community in Sargent county is the
program being worked out by the
Farm Bureau, bankers of the county
and the county agent. AS start on
the program, Mr.. Greenwood, two
farmers and one banker have made a
trip to Wisconsin and purchased two
car loads Of grade Holstein heifers.
Just as the party was ready to
start on the trip by automobile, a
third community reported it was ready
to purchase car Of dairy cattle The
necessary arrangements could not be
perfected in the short time, however.
and this community will receive it's
car load in the next lot purchased.
The dairy COW program was adopted
as the result of meetings in the coun-
ty held by County Agent Greenwood
and Max Morgan, extension live stock
specialist of the Agricultural college.
Bankers who attended these meetings
agreed to finance the purchase of one
carload of dairy cattle each. Several
counties in the state are working out
similar programs.
There is an abundance of feed on
every farm this year. Therefore no
excuse exists for any one starving his
live stock next winter. Grains are so
cheap that they will return more when
fed to stock than when sold on the
market. The wise farmer is busy
putting in storage all feed possible.
Next year may not be as favorable for
feed crops as this year and then he
will profit by the foresightedness dis
played by taking care of feed while
he had feed to take care of.
