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 i'm 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 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-
partmcnt Of Agriculture There
seems TO be no more convincing argu-
ment 10 a hog producer than TO see
the actual sales of his animals take
place and to know the difference In

NAL
Farm bureau sales of this kind were
started in California in 1916 or 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 81 400
600.

SIZE OF FARM A
SUCCESS FACTOR
Results of Survey Conducted by
Department of Agriculture
in Ozark Region.
ADVANTAGE OF VALLEY LANDS
Dairy Industry Would Become More
Profitable il Cows of Greater Pro-
ductive Capacity Were Intro
duced by Farmers.

tPre pared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
That the size of the farm has much
10 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 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 20 farms, 81 of
which are representative or conditions
of rolling and billy uplands, and 4S of
valley and level uplands. The tOpO-
graphical structure 10 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 5000, and those operating
valley or level upland farms an aver
age of S646.
OF the 70 farms studied, 90 per cent
had no labor income after allowing for
the deductions referred to. and 81 per
cent had labor income above $1,000.
Labor incomes earned by typical oper-
ators indicate that one having much
less than 40 acres of crop land for a
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 rs cows on the
better class of dairy farms in the area
covered by the survey was 142 pounds

report. would become more profitable

Poultry manure is the richest ma

ordinary farm not much attention is
