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 a 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 rs Department Bull
letin 941, entitled EARN Management
In the Ozark Region of Missouri" is
based on the study of the organization
and management of 70 farms, 81 of
which are representative of conditions
Of rolling and hilly uplands, and 4s 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 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 21 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 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 IS cows on the
better class of dairy farms in the area
covered by the survey was 142 pounds
Of butterfat. This industry, says the
report, would become more profitable

PORK DAY is ANNUAL EVENT
Hog Producer Witnesses Sale Of His
Animals and Learns Reason
for Different Prices.

Pork day is one Of the big annual
events of Kings county, California. 1t
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 a carload. In
the contest last fall six farm bureau
centers as well as 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
price paid for a superior quality ami
NAL
Farm bureau sales Of this kind were
started in California in 1916 on the
initiative of the county agent Of Kern
county. They are now becoming COM
mon In all pork-producing counties Of
the state. There were 175 such sales
in 1920, with sales aggregating 81 .40O,-

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 caustic soda or
caustic potash, taking care that it does
not wash into the eyes.
If the horns are allowed to develop,
1t 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 it pre-

more generally. Pasturage, is the
foundation Of a 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 silage 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

being clearly recognized.
The soils of the region have a wide
variation in natural fertility and pro-
ductiveness. They are usually porous,
owing to the large content Of stone
and gravel. AS result, air and water
circulate through them freely, and
when they are put under CULTIVATION
the humus content is quickly lost un-
less a system of farming is adopted In
which provision is made to replenish
the supply. If the humus content is
lost the water-holding capacity Of the
soils is greatly reduced. and, as re-
suit, crops suffer severely during. the
summer droughts and profitable yields
are then almost impossible.

handle the animals and insures that
each one will have a more equal
chance at the feed trough. 1t renders
the animals less dangerous to attend

STADIUM BUILT
 TO LAST AGES

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. 2S Criticism by University of Cali fornia men that the Stanford stadium is not permanent structure was answered here by Dr. T. M. Williams president of the Stanford Board of Athletic Control He said
 T have heard that our friends across the bay are expressing some fears and regrets that the Stanford stadium is to be only a temporary affair That, I think, is an unneces- sary worry on their part. With the exception of our wooden seats, which are easily replaced at intervals, and some concrete curbing around the track, our structure is composed of water-worn stones, sand and gravel. In other words, the embankment forming our bowl has about the same composition as that of a terminal mo- raine left by prehistoric glaciers.
 Just how long such structure will last no one can say, but we have it on no less authority than the late Professor Joseph Ia Conte of the University of California that these moraines have stood and held their shape fairly well from 10000 to 20,- 0OO. years. Figuring on the minimum duration. we are perfectly safe in say: ing that we have a stadium good for the next 10000 years. Before the end of that period we hope to be ir financial position to erect per manent structure"
