FIX FARM INCOME BY
 VOLUME OF BUSINESS
Must Be Margin Above Annual
 Maintenance Charge.
Size of Business Is Most Important Factor to Be Considered in Select ing a PIace-Three Things
 to Remember.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture,)
 It requires a farm business of at least fair size to provide an income that will merely cover maintenance charges and these charges are relatively higher for small farms than for large ones. say special ists of the United States Department of Agriculture. A farm may be of such size as to furnish most living needs of the farmer. such as vege- tables and fruits. as well as enough in- come to pay the taxes and ru ming expenses, but unless there Is mar gin above this annual maintenance charge no progress can be made to- ward accommodating a surplus.
 This point is often overlooked, and thousands of men fail to understand why they do not get ahead faster, when, as a matter of fact, the size of their business is such that there is only slight pos sibility of any margin being left after obtaining bare living and paying absolutely necessary running ex- penses. Often the income is insuffi- cient even to do this, and the farmer and his family have to go without some of the comforts of life.
 Thus 1t is that the size of the farm business Is one of the most impor- tant, if not the most important, factor to be considered In selecting farm. In determining the value of farm in this regard It is essential, special fists say, to make sure of three things : That you have an opportunity; that ! is. make sure that the desired volhne

NEWS WILL BE GIVEN

ANNOUNCED BY POSTMASTER. GENERAL HAYS.

Washington. - Postmaster General Hays has announced the authorization of the government son the develop ment of a stupendous undertaking in the realm of radio telephony.
 The project is the dissemination of weather, market reports and other government information. news of the day and other matters Of interest to offices and homes throughout the country by the radio telephone.
 Involved In the undertaking is the big question of the control of radio ernment to which President Harding soon is to direct the attention of Con. gress as a result of n study of the problem by an interdepe;tmenta board
 Some of the radio companies have asserted exclusive proprietary rights ln certain wave lengths of ether em. ployed in transmission. The result would be to debar other companies and the government from using such wave lengths. One suggestion con. sidered by the interdepartmental board is that the government shoulo assume control of the ether and allo- cate the radio concerns the various wave lengths employed of which there are about 15o.
 The system of disseminating gov. ernment information by radio tele. phony has been worked out for MT. Hays by J. c. Edgerton of the Post. office Department. w. A. Wheeler o4 the Department of Agriculture and K. B. Howell of Omaha. an authority on wireless. MT. Hays said that Mir Howell is sailing for Europe on Sat. urday to conduct an investigation for the government at his own expense of the operation of a radio telephone system in Berlin and of telephone newspaper" in Budapest.

also of the grade No. causes the ship per heavy loss.
 The specialists believe that commer- cial grades for any kind of hay should be made so that the physical limita- tions in production and preparation will be properly recognized. and that such grades should be uniformly ap- piled. and not influenced whatever by the state of the market
 Causes of Wide Margins.
 Most shippers in the irrigated sec tions seem willing to handle hay at a gross profit of S1 per ton if the chance of losses on account of rejectionS could be eliminated. The rejections are almost always based upon the claim that the hay Is not up to grade but occur almost entirely upon a de ciining market With only the meager protection against this practice and resultant loss, furnished by inspection services maintained by the trade or he is compelled to raise his margin of gross profit to S2 or $3 per ton.
 When the producer notes the wide difference between the price which he has received for hls hay and the price quoted at the adjacent market. he feels that the shipper or dealer is talk ing advantage of him and is making too large a profit. The producers de sire to share in this supposedly large profit is one of the principal causes of the cooperative wave that is now agtating southwestern alfalfa grow CTS. When this desire Is stimulated by an enthusiastic, prospective manager it seems to be not very difficult mat ter to form an organization of pro- ducers to ship and market hay.
 Cooperative Marketing Association.
 Cooperative market associations can no doubt market their own hay as advantageously as the individual ship per, provided their manager is as well trained and possesses equal experience and business ability, but they are sure to meet the same marketing difficult ties, and will have just as many rejec- tions and losses which must be de ducted from the proceeds of their sales.
 Many of the Irrigated sections of the Southwest do not ship more than from 2,0OO to 5000 cars of hay each year and this business is in some in stances divided between two or three ShiDperS who also conduct other buSi- nesses in connection, thus greatly re ducing overhead expenses. Co-opera- tive shipping associations are being or ganized in several of these projects. The cure for the present marketing difficulties in. the alfalfa sections of the Southwest would seem to be along the line of better standards and their impartial applications, say the market ing specialists.

DAIRY COWS LIKE VARIETY
Few Speckled Apples, Beets, Carrots and Other Worthless Foodstuffs
 Are Deiicacies.

A dairy COW appreciates variety In her ration almost as much as does a human being. Hay, grain and siiage are good and certainly should consti- tute the main part of the ration. But few speckled apples, beets, carrots, small potatoes. and other worthless foodstuffs all are dellcacies to the COW.

 wise Discard Her.

The COW that milks heavily for a short time or for four or five or six months and then drops off, perhaps entirely drying up, Is never to be seri- ously considered when annual records are being computed. Naturally If one is to keep up the milk flow he must have COW persistent in her makeup. If she proves otherwise, 1t Is probable that she belongs to the class of star boarders that have no place dp any dairy farm where busi- ness methods arc practiced.

(Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The irrigated areas of the south. western United States can produce q high market grade of alfalfa hay, but there are several difficult problems that must be solved in order profita- bly, to market the hay, say specialists of the bureau of markets and crop es. inmates, United States Department of Agriculture.
 Method of Ealing. The first step which has direct bearing upon the marketing of aifal- ia is baling. The rainfall in the South west Is exceedingly light during the hay-making season, and for this req son much of the hay is baled out of the windrow or cock.
 When hay is baled from the wind row In sufficiently green state to save all the leaves, it cannot be pressed tightly because of the danger of heating, and shippers therefore fire quently experience considerable diff culty in loading cars with the mini mum weight for which they pay charges. Hay which has been stacked and allowed to dry can be baled more compact, but in baling stack hay many of the leaves Shatter because of the dryness. According to the application grade rules, this hay Is of a lower grade than when the leaves cling to the stems, notwithstanding the fact that the leaves may be contained in the bale.
 Sources of Trouble.
 Bleached hay. together with weeds, causes considerable trouble in mar keting alfalfa. It is well known that alfalfa hay bleaches quickly when ex- posed to bright sunlight, but there is wide difference of opinion as to just the amount of nutrient that is lost in bleaching.
 Commercial grade rules, hows.-Sr are based in part upon this facssr. Producers and shippers in these sec tions contend that too much weight is
  commercial grades for alfalfa and not sufficient weight to its feeding value.
 From investigations recently made by the bureau of markets and crop estimates, il appears that when the present grading rules are rigidly and technically applied, as is frequently the case on declining markets, it is impossible under the most ideal condi- tions to produce choice" grade alfal- ia.
 The presence of weed, blade of grass or of a bleached stem will pre- vent bale from grading "choice," and it is practically impossible to obtain hay which is entirely clear of any of these things. Considerable hay is | bought and sold on this grade. how ever. but the use of 1t, and sometimes
