Wheat Cost Decreases as the
Yield Per Acre Increases

Farmers who sold their 1920 wheat
at $3.50 bushel lost, on the average,
IS cents on every bushel, according to
1920 crop cost figures secured from
619 North Dakota farmers by the farm
management department of the Agri-
cultural college extension division and
published in experiment station bulle-
tin No. IA.
The 1920 wheat crop cost the farm
er an average of $2.45 bushel, the
bulletin reports, which is 80 cents less
than the 1919 cost. When sold at
$3.50, every bushel produced required
1.64 bushels to pay the actual labor.
rental, seed, and other bills incurred
in growing 1t. The average yield was
o. bushels.
Horse labor was the largest item III
the producing costs, the estimates
show, being $4.34 of the $2312 average
acre cost. Use of land cost 1895 an
acre, while the seed was next in the
list of expenses, with 1855 an acre.
Man labor, exclusive of threshing, cost
$3.50 an acre, while the total thresh-
ing cost was $2.77. The total acre
cost is more than for 1919, but the
larger 1920 yield reduced the bushel
cost.
1t is obvious that every effort should
be made to increase the yield, says the
bulletin, commenting on the statement
that smaller yields cost more per
bushel to produce. With. an increase
in yield from to IL bushels in differ
ent sections of the state the cost per
bushel was reduced from $3.13 to
$2.06, or decrease of S1.07 in cost
per bushel due to an increase in yield
Of four bushels.
The counties from which the infor-
nation was secured were Pembina,
Grand Forks, Barnes, Pierce, Ramsey,
Mercer, Mclean. Divide, Ward, Noun
trail, and Burleigh.

Ing low in price, potatoes properly
cooked are a valuable addition to the
diet. As a source of the mineral mat
ter needed for building the body, they
rank very high. They furnish nearly
as much iron as do eggs, and compare
favorably with cereals in the supply Of
phosphorus and lime. They supply
calcium for building bone, magnesium
and potash for building cells and
nerves, sodium to aid digestion, iron
for the red corpuscles.

PROPER FEEDING
OF SMALL CHICKS
(By Enoch J. Peterson, Poultry Hus-
bandman, North Dakota Agri-
cultural College.)

Brood coops should be made sd that
they can be closed ut night to keep out
rats, cats, and other animals.
The hen may be confined in the coop
for the first two or three weeks while
the chicks may be allowed free range
after they are n few days old. If the
hen is confined the chicks can always
find shelter and heat under her. When
hens are allowed free range they often
take the chicks through wet grass
where the chicks may become chilled.
One hen will successfully brood
from Is to 20 chicks, depending upon
the size of the hep and the season of
the year.. In warm weather one large
hen will brood 25 chicks.
Feeding the Little Chicks.
After the chicks are 49 hours old
feed equal parts of bread crumbs and
oatmeal. To this mixture add q SMALL
amount of chick grit. Feed the chicks
four or five times day what they will
take up in few minutes. After the
third day change gradually to hard
grains. The following mixture will
give good results: Cracked wheat IS
pounds, fine screened cracked corn rs,
pounds, pinhead oitmeal 10 pounds.
Feed four or five times day the first
week, after which gradually diminish
the number of feeds until the end of
the third week when cracked grain
may be fed three times day. Keep
water before the chicks at all times.
After they are two weeks old feed a
mash Of equal parts, by weight, Of
bran, corn meal, and wheat middlings.
To this mixture add 10 per cent beef
scraps. After the chicks are six weeks
old the small grains are discontinued
and wheat, cracked corn, and other
grains should be fed three times day.

That the local weekly after all is the
best farm journal, was one Of the
points brought out at the country

This conference was inaugurated last
year to encourage the country weekly,
which has come to be recognized ns

Mr.. F. B. streeter,
Dear Sir:
l wish to congratulate you on the
Records birthday. That ,write-up
lis splendid, and what a lot of knowl-
edge is at your command through
those files of "0ld Records. (" I'm
sure can almost feel how it is to you
to have had such a father and the
way he helped to make Emmons what
it is today. I had the pleasure OF
meeting him once in the Office.
I suppose my Granddad was one Of
his earliest subscribers.
Very truly your friend,

SOIL SURVEYS GIVE
USEFUL KNOWLEDGE

Less than half of the soil in Trail
county, Red River valley county, is
heavy clay or "gumbo'' soil, it is
shown by a soil survey of the county
recently completed by DR.. H. L. Wal.
ster, agronomist and director of soil
survey, North Dakota agricultural ex-
pertinent station. In discussing North
Dakota soils, DIR. Walster says:
us the Red River Galley all heavy
clay or 'gumbo?' Does the Red River
valley in North Dakota contain
variety Of soils, each soil type being
peculiarly fitted to some special crop,
or system of farming? It is the bust
ness of the state soil survey to dis
cover these essential facts about the
soil, our fundamental agricultural
asset.
'The recently completed survey of
Trail county, a Red River valley
county which occupies the geographic
center of the valley in this state,
located no less than % different soil
types in that county. The soils are
not oil heavy clays or gumbo. AS
matter Of fact, only 1872 per cent of
the soils in that county are heavy
soils such as clays, silly clays, or clay
loans. whereas 21.5 per cent are soft
loans and the remaining 1853 per cent
are still lighter and easier titled soils.
The principal class being very fine
sandy loans.
1.-The soil map of this. county shows
the definite location of more than
$4,000 acres of very fine sandy soils.
Very fine sandy loans are ideal po-
tatO soils and are likewise earlier,
warmer soils suitable for corn produc-
ton. The prospective settler in Nortl,
Dakota or the present land owner has
right to demand that the state
furnish him information as to the
adaptability Of his soils to special
crops and as to the methods Of soil
management best suited to the soil
type. This information can only. be
supplied after careful field examine
ton and field and laboratory examina-
ton.
Detailed reports similar to the
Trail countS map and report, are
available for less than 20 per cent of
the area of the state. Write the Direc.

"A PIONEERS LETTER

Pollock, S. D., April %, 1921.
Mr.. F. B. Streeter, Editor of the
Record,
Dear Friend:
I am deeply interested in your birth
day story Of the Record, the issue of
April 18th, and, being one of the earli-
est settlers Of Southern Emmons,
have been thinking that maybe might
be included with those from whom you
solicited "reminiscences of early days.
AS I sit at my chamber window, in my
lonely old age, bereft of my sweet
mate Of more than sixty years.. and
look out upon the prosperous vttsge
Of Pollock, and to the hills beyond,
dotted with farm buildings and fertile
fields, I am led to compare the beau
tiful present with the desolation of
thirty-seven years ago.
On July z, 1884, landed at Winona,
and found my old friend, R. w. Child,
and the next day he took me to his
sheep ranch, twelve miles out on the
Cat Tail creek, where / selected land
for my son, Win, and myself. 1
stayed with him few days, and then
returned to Bismarck, where 1 filed a
homestead and tree claim, and then
returned to Hunter, N. Oak, where
had pre-emption and where Win was
staying. On the 9Th of May the next
spring, 1885, we started win and y
from Casselton with our four-horse
team and all our household stuff
packed in lumber wagon, for Winona
by way of Lisbon and Glendale, and
arrived at Winona at noon, May 10th,
being seven and half days on the
journey. (We>were hindered one-half
day by rain.) The first day out from
Glendale, we made Cold Water, a
little cattle ranch twenty-eight miles
from Glendale. The remainder Of
the distance COS miles) to Winona we
followed dim trail through the grass,
with no sign of human Kabitation ex-
cept little shack and lone settler
north of Hoskins Lake. AS far as
know / was the fourth person to file on
territory extending from the River
Settlements to Hoskins on the east,
and from the Wiiliamsport Settlement
to where Pollock now stands. (There
may have been filings on the Little
Beaver.) It was, indeed, a desolate
region, and /, fifty years of age at the
time, and now, in my old age, I wonder
that | survived the years of pioneer
life and hardships that followed, of
which / will write in another article,
if desired by the editor. D. R.
Streeter was a household name, and
the Record Gin its first year of in
fancy a household paper.
In my next will try to tell some
thing Of those early days and people,
of the lights and shades, of hopes real
lied and hopes vanished, of dreams
come true and of dreams wrecked.
But at eighty-fve, with frail body
and a sorrowful heart, I can promise
nothing sure.
Sincerely,
j. DON TRACY.

hear from Mr.. Tracy, and wsuld be
