GET FIGURES ON PUREBREDs
Bureau Of Census Completing TabuIa-
tion for States Not Yet Shown
In Reports.

On account Of the great Interest
which the United States Department
of Agriculture finds has been shown
In census figures Of %purebred live stock
in ten representative farm states, the
bureau of the census is proceeding
with plans to complete the tabulation
for the remaining states. This work
is receiving the hearty cooperation OF
the United States Department OF Agr1-
culture. Live stock specialists of the
department regard such figures as
very valuable as factors in production
problems, and as indicating develop
ments in the improvement Of domestic
animals in this country.
1t is understood that the final census
figures pertaining to purebred live
stock on farms will be available at the
same time the general live stock hg-
ures are furnished. 1t is thought that
this will be some time during the com
ing summer. Breeders and breeders
associations interested in this work
have already indicated their apprecia-
ton of the value of the figures thus far
available. 1t is the first time In the
history Of any country that accurate
figures on the total number Of purebred
animals on farms have been compiled.

CARE AND FEEDING OF STOCK
Vermont Live Stock Owner Says Cause
of Runts Is Due to Neglect Dur
ing First Year.

In contributing his experiences on
the cause of runty live stock In a re-
cent inquiry conducted by the United
States Department of Agriculture, q
Vermont farmer urges greater care In
the early life Of domestic animals.
"When people can be educated to the
proper care and feeding Of Stock ne
declares. "the runt will be practically
wiped out. The reason, perhaps, why
there are not so many runts In pure
bred herds as in others Is because the
man who cares what kind of stock ne
keeps cares enough to care for them
better" He concludes that n of the
principal factors in the cause of runty
live stock is the man who has the care
of them the first year.

Will Discuss Disarmament.

Yielding to the demands of the
people President Harding has at last
invited the powers to send represent
atives to Washington for the purpose
of discussing the question of disarm-
ament, or at least a stay in the prep
aration of new building program.
Not only have citizens of all class
es in the United States made known
their desire for a reduction of taxes
and the National debt through cut
ting down the expenses of war prep
aration, but the peoples of Europe,
much harder pressed for the neces-
sites of life and burdened with even
greater taxes with less ability to pay,
are also anxious for some agreement
which will eventually result in re-
duced armament.
If the full wishes of the people OF
the world are complied with an agree
ment will be reached which will cut
the cost of military preparations
more than rs per cent. To expect
this, however, is to invite disappoint-
ment. Great Britain officially, contin-
ues to harbor the idea that a large
navy is necessary to keep the empire
intact. Leaders at Washington have
made up their minds that the United
States should not be satisfied with
any navy of less power than that
owned by Great Britain. japan feels
that if the United States continues
to build ~battleships, she will of ne
cessity have to follow suit. If these
leaders go into the conference with
those ideas uppermost in their minds,
not much in the way of reduced arm
ament will be accomplished. We may
at least hope that the discussion will
be open and free from jealousies and
that the representatives of the powers
will go into the matter with the in
.tention of doing their part in re-
.lieving the world of the consequences
of this mad race for military and
naval supremacy.-Farm and Ranch.

Free Seeds and Petty Politics.

The agricultural appropriation bill
carries an item Of S240,000 for the
distribution of small packages of gar
den and flower seed to the voters of
the nation. For many years the Sec
retaries of Agriculture have made an
effort to eliminate this item and it
possible either save that amount of
money for the people or use it in
connection with more serious and val
liable work of the department. Con-
gress, however, has always refused
the request of the Secretary and
again in 1921 when the nation is
straining every to raise mon
ey with which to pay legitimate debts
Congressman insisted on having the
usual seed graft.
Any member of Congress who still
believes that the receipt of a pack
age of miscellaneous seed, none of
which are of more than ordinary val
ne, will make a voter, whether city
OF rural, believe that he has received
a special favor, is hardly smart
enough to represent his constituents.
The voters in his district have been
wise to the graft for many years and
the receipt of a few seeds has no
influence with him in the least de-
gree. AS the distribution of free seed
has no other object than to fool the
voter into believing that his Con-
gresham has remembered him per-
sonally and is working his head off
for him, and as the voter is not fooled
in the least, then why. continue the
free seed practice? Distribution of
free seed, as it is now practiced, is
an insult to the intelligence of the
yoters.-Farm & Ranch.

Two Kinds of Farmers.

In a recent communication to Farm
and Ranch it was stated that there
were two kinds Of farmers, n who
continually directed his efforts to-
wards getting a maximum acreage
production by building up the fer
tility of his soil, and the other who
mined his soil, taking from it all he
can get without putting anything
back.
The miner farmer is found in every
|neighborhood. He can be spotted by
the general run down condition OF his
farm; his shiftless appearance; and
his pessimistic attitude on every
question. AS a general rule he does
not read a farm paper or even a
newspaper. He is always poor and
given much to cussing the Govern
ment. He is a one cropper by nature;
talks about working sixteen hours a
day twelve months in the year when
as a matter of fact he spends more
time going to town than he does in
his field. He is a failure on the farm
and the only place he can make q re-
spectacle living is on the JOB in town
where the boss has the brains and a
determination to make him speed up.
The other kind of a farmer never
cultivates a greater acreage than ne
can take care of himself or hire TAX
en- care of without at least having an
even chance to make a profit. His
plan is to make his land more produc-
tive each year. He plants a variety
of crops and never two that require
his attention at one time. He has one
good dairy COW or more and never
goes to town to buy butter. He has
a flock of chickens and takes care OF
them. He has eggs and poultry to eat
and some to sell. He has a good gar
den and orchard. He also has a smoke
house and kills much of his own meat.
He grows feedstuffs and has enough
hogs and cattle to eat them. This kind
of a farmer studies his soil needs and
if necessary will turn under sweet
clover, cowpeas or other green crops.
He is not adverse to listening to other
peoples opinions; consults his county
agent and studies results of the work
of experiment farms. By growing
much of his own living he is able to
sell his surplus at the top of the mar
ket.
Fortunately the latter class of far
mers are becoming more numerous
in the Southwest.-Farm and Ranch.

practical methods Of preventing

your financial returns from live stock
be increased If yo.l had no runts?"
The replies thus far received show
that Inferior breeding and poor feed
Ing are Jointly responsible for nearly
two-thirds Of the runts among i've

cent of farm live stock is commonly
in the runty class. Detailed data on
