prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
That the size of the farm has much
TO do with the success of the owner is
shown by results of survey conduct
ed by the United States Department
of Agriculture in five counties In the
south and southeastern Ozark region
of Missouri. The operation of gen
eral farm in the Ozarks with much
less than 40 acres of land for crops is
exceedingly unsatisfactory, regardless
of the location of the farm, whether
among the valleys or the hills.
Study Many Kinds Of Farms.
The report of the survey published
by the department as Department Bull
letin 941, entitled Farm Management
In the Ozark Region of Missouri" is,
based on the study of the organization
and management of 10 farms, 81 of
which are representative of conditions
of rolling and hilly uplands, and AS of
valley and level uplands The topo-
graphical structure to a large extent
determines the agricultural value of
the land, says the report. As a rule
the operator of a valley or level up
land farm has a decided advantage
over the operator Of the rough farm.
After deducting from their total re-
ceipts the years operating expenses,
including the value of family labor
and allowing per cent interest on
the capital invested, the survey shows
that the operators Of rolling and hilly
farms had, in 1917, an average labor
income OF $500, and those operating
valley or level upland farms an aver
age Of S646.
OF the 10 farms studied, 20 per cent
had no labor income after allowing for
the deductions referred to, and 81 per
cent had a labor income above 81 900.
Labor incomes earned by typical oper-
ators indicate that one having much
less than 40 acres of crop land for
general livestock farm has a rather
poor chance of financial success.
Better Cows Would Increase Income.
Livestock farming is the principal
agricultural industry of the region
The use of cows for dairy purposes is
increasing. The average annual pro-
duction per COW of q cows on the
better class of dairy farms in the area
covered by the survey was 142 pounds

report, would become more profitable

PORK DAY is ANNUAL EVENT

Pork day is one of the big annual

comes in October usually. In this con-
test the farm bureau center is the
unit, and every farm bureau in the
contest advances one carload Of hogs
to be exhibited and rated by an ex-
pert judge. Every farm bureau cen
ter must have at least six consignors
to the load, thus preventing any big
concern from exhibiting carload. In
the contest last fall six farm bureau
centers as well as a boys pig club
took part in the contest. Ten car
loads were auctioned In addition to
seven cars that had been In the con-
test.
The county agent leader says IN his
annual report to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture: There
seems to be no more convincing argu-
ment to hog producer than to see
the actual sales of his animals take
place and to know the difference In

Farm bureau sales of this kind were
started In California In 1916 on the

BETTER QUALITY OF POULTRY
Platte County (Neb.) Farmer Llsts
Chickens, Geese and Ducks, All
Purebred.

A noticeable feature of the "Better
Sires" campaign conducted by the vari-
ous states and the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture is the excel
lent quality of poultry kept on general
farms. Typical of this condition is a
statement recently received from a
farm ln Platte county. Nebraska. The
principal live stock kept were Short
horn cattle and Poland China swine.
In addition the owner listed the fol-
lowing poultry. all Of which was
standard bred: Seventy-five Barred
Plymouth Rocks, 10 Black Langshans,
100 Brown Leghorns, 100 Rhode Island
Reds, three White China geese and
. three Pekin ducks. II was noteworthy
that, whereas the poultry was all Of
pure breeding, the swine herd includ-
ed a number of grade females. The
sires kept for all classes Of stock were
of pure breeding--a requirement for
enrolment In the Better Sires-Better
Stock" campaign.

NEW DEVICE CLEANS GRAINS
Recently Invented contrivance Re-
moves Smut, Dust, ETC., at tho
Time Of ThrashIng.

A new device known as an aspirator
has been designed by specialists Of the
bureau Of markets, United States De
partment of Agriculture, for cleaning
wheat and other small grains by re-
moving smut, dust, and dockage at the
time Of thrashlng. This device Is at
tached to the grain delivery spout, and
tests indicate that II removes approx
mately one-third of what ordinarily is
classed as dockage. The use Of this
device will enable farmers to keep for
feed part of the seeds and other for
eign material ordinarily hauled to the
elevator and lost to the producer; 1t
also improves the quality Of grain by
removing from 1t large part of the
smut dust and Objectionable foreign
material. A recleaner, for attachment
to the deck OF thrashlng machines, al.
so designed, gives promise Of being ef,
ficient, 1t Is said.

1t is often desirable to dehorn the heif
ers as well as the steers, especially
when they are to be fed In troughs
for part Of the year.
Calves may be dehorned when a
few days old by treating the undevel-
oped horns with caustlc soda or
caustic potash. taking care that 1t does
not wash into the eyes.
II the horns are allowed to develop,
II becomes necessary to cut them Off.
Clippers made for the purpose may be
used on the younger animals. With
older cattle saw is best, as II pre-
vents crushing. and the friction of the
blade causes the blood vessels to clot
and heal quickly. The work should not
be done In warm weather, as the
wound may become infested with
screw worms. Where there is danger
Of flies, hy-repellent should be ap-
piled.

the Standardization Of practically the
entire Bermuda onion industry In the
United States.
United States grades for Bermuda
onions were recommended by the De-
partment OF Agriculture in the spring
of 1918. The same year the state Of
Texas legislated the compulsory grad
Ing of Bermuda onions according to the
grades promulgated by the department
and adopted by the Texas state depart
ment of agriculture.
When the onion shippers in the Goa
chella valley requested inspection serv-
Ice from the California state depart

practicable to render such service un-
less suitable grades were agreed upon
as basis for inspection. Accordingly,
the shippers made comprehensive
study Of onion grades and decided
finally 10 use the grades recommended
by the Department Of Agriculture. Per-
haps the most important consideration
leading to this decision was the fact
that since the adoption Of the depart
ment's grades In Texas there has been
considerable decrease In the number
Of rejected Texas onion shipments.

Early History Of the Hat.

The use OF beaver In making hats
commenced about 1900. for Chaucer
mentions It. Flanders turned out the
first. Hatters' guilds began to appear
In England. and apprentices were
taught the art Of making felt hats
and decorating them. Nine cents a
day was then a hatter's wages. In
the Sixteenth century the first hat
stores began 10 do business, and hats.
therefore as widely decorated as po-
etic fancy, began to be standardized.
In other words-style began to rule.
BY 1000 styles were very much In evil
dence, but were very changeable.
Shakespeares plays speak Of various
types OF hats then worn.

better-balanced rations was practiced
more generally. Pasturage is the
foundation of livestock industry,
but natural pastures can be greatly
improved by thinning out woodland
areas, keeping the underbrush down,
and sowing tame grasses.
For greater assurance Of livestock
feeds during the summer droughts, to
which the section is liable, many
farmers plant sorghum, millet and
kafir corn as auxiliary hay crops. On
better-managed farms sllage is also
produced for winter feed and some
times to supplement the pasture dur
ing summer droughts. With proper
care alfalfa, clover, soy beans and
cowpeas are grown, the possibility of
these crops, both for hay and grazing,
being clearly recognized.
The soils of the region have wide
variation in natural fertility and pro-
ductiveness. They are usually porous,
owing to the large content of stone
and gravel. AS a result. air and water
circulate through them freely, and
when they are put under cultivaHVn
the humus content is quickly lost un-
less a system Of farming Is adopted in
which provision is made to replenlsh
the supply. II the humus content is
lost the water-holding capacity OF the
soils is greatly reduced, and, as a re-
suit, crops suffer severely during the
summer droughts and profitable yields
are then almost impossible.
