The 5lst General Assembly Of Mis-

which was amended in the House by
adding a county option" feature
where by each county may adopt the
law by vote. The Missouri Dog Law
is the simplest plan ever offered to the
State Legislature, and its advocates
forcibly and successfully held that it
would reduce the number Of worthless

the sheep industry. The new enact
ment provides for an annual tax of
n dollar on male dogs and three
dollars on female dogs. The county

the license tags. All fees Except ten

In the monthly bulletin Of the Ms.
SOUR State Board of Agriculture the
anne of the following men Of Aud
rain County appear on the honor roi'
Of Missouri crop reporters: j.. G.
Waggener, C. G. Lewis,T. B. Robinson
Pollock Mill Co., j. E. Northcutt,
Judge S. o. Groves, W, R. C7athorn,
P. T. Bruce, W. W. Braden, ". W.
Banks, Sheldon NJ. Miller, W. J. Half
ner, S. R. Craghead, Charles G. Dam
iel, John ]. Johnston, E. ]. Simms,
B. A. Smith, S. 7. Torreyson.
Just how this reporting is done is
told in the late bulletin issued By the
state board.
In the collecting of the new coop
erative crop reports. and farm Stats
ties, we follow generally the blanks
and forms of the Bureau of Crop Es-
Inmates of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. However, under
contract we are permitted to ask
any and all additional questions need
ed for Missouri, although of course
we must ask all Of the que-''-
Uncle Sam wants asked in each Of
the 4S states.
We have printed monthly, at the
plant Of the Hugh Stephens Company
in eJferson City, the little slim" re-
porting blanks which are almost in
yariably II inches long and 3h inches
wide on green paper, planned this
shape because Of the fact that it
makes it so easy to take the reports
from n county and lay them on a
table "shingle feshion" to add up the
county report without copying off the
figures on to a special sheet, thus
saving a world of work when rushed.
We are also printing for each month
a "pink tabulttion sheet" with the
same headings as the green blanks,
using this as a ~tabughting sheet, one
Tor each county, when there is time
fer editing and r~e-copying the figures
of each Crop Reporter"
AS we are now working under this
cooperative plan, all of the blanks
and envelopes are addressed and mail
ed from the office Of the Secretary of
the Board on the first floor of the
State Capitol in Jefferson City, The
return envelopes" are all addressed
to "Mr. E. A. Logan, Agricultural
Statistician, Columbia, No." since
Mr.. Logan had located in Columbia be-
fore the Board Of Agriculture moved
over to Jefferson City.
Mr.. Logan has a business office on
behalf of the United States Bureau
Of Crop Estimates in the Elvira
Building on Broadway in Columbia,
where he has office assistance.

A careful study Of the following
data, sent out from the Union Stock
Yards at Chicago, showing advance
census figures does not lead to the
conclusion that there has been any
material substitution for horses used
on farms, but on account of the high
price Of feed, there has been a mark
ed tendency on the part of farmers
to cut down the number of horses to
The minimum actually needed for
farm work.
The reduction in number of horses
in towns is due largely to displace-
ment of driving horses, wagon horses
and drafters, by motorized vehicles.
Such displacement was possible in
many instances because the transpor-
alton users did not know what their
horse drawn equipment was costing
and We're easy to mislead by auto
statesmen both with respect to cost of
horse drawn equipment and probable
cost of the motorized.
Business men urge farmers to pat
soni2e home industries, but have sig
7ally failed to reciprocate by the gen.
eral use of animal motive power in
the zone where it is especially eff
Gent. Both midwest farmers and
business men will benefit greatly if
business firms will make it a rule to
use horses or mules on all hauls
where they will do the work efficient
ly, and more cheaply, than motors;
for no n can benefit in the end, by
the building up on extravagant meth
DDS of hauling or delivery. The more
general use of animal motive power
in cities will reduce business costs
and at the same time will widen farm
er's markets for horses and mules "a
by-product Of good farms) and for
the staple farm products-coarse
grains and hay.
The first figures show the horses as
Of April Is, 1910, spring colts ex-
clpded, the second figures show the
horses as Of Jan. /, 1920, the third
shows the increase or decrease, in

BY no means as many of the fine
Jersey cattle sold Thursday at the
big sale in Mexico were bought in this
county, rs should have been. 1t was a
wonderful opportunity to increase the
number and raise the character Of
dairy cattle in Audrain which should
not have been allowed to pass. Mex
leo is ideally located for dairy farm
ing. Besides the local demand for
milk and cream the city is so situated
on the railroads that milk shipped
late in the evening would arrive in
Chicago early the next morning.
Other great centers of population are
in as close proximity if not closer.
Dairy farming also will rehabilitate
the soil in Audrain which in many in
stances is suffering for lack of the
proper fertilizers. We should make
Audrain a great dairy center. 1t
neal much to every citizen of the
