town on those evenings to hear the
music. III,
This fall and winter the boys ex-s
pect to get some new instruments
which will greatly improve the band.
One of the instruments is a tuba and
the boys are planning to give an en-
tertainment in the near future, the
money from which will be put into q

New Wheat ~.
/. Arrives In Town
REPORTED GOOD CROPS MAKE
SHOWING OF HALF .5a
A CROP

John Schulz, prominent farmer just
north Of town, was the first to haul
wheat to the elevators, that had been
threshed this year. Mr.. Schulz thresh.
ed wheat from 6O-acre field and the
average number of bushels for the
acre came to IA bushels. The wheat
hauled to the Riverside Elevator was
graded No. 1 dark northern. Mr..
Schulz has other fields which he states
will average about 10 bushels, although
the crop has not been threshed.
The good crops reported two and
three weeks ago have not material
lied at ALL Fields that everyone
thought would go at,Ieast 20 bushels
to the acre are only making half that
amount. Some fields have a perfect
stand of wheat, yet when the heads
are shelled out the grain is small
and shriveled. The kernels in some
cases have shriyeled towards the
heart, which if they do gives q good
weight to the grain and make it grade
up, but when the kernels shrivel the
other way, causing the heart to spread,
the wheat fills >quicker to the bushel,
and gives it a low grade. The crop
around Washburn will yield about half
of what was expected. In other places
over the county where the grain
looked to make 10 and is, bushels to
the acre.. the fields are yielding only
around 5 bushels Some localities the
grain is not even being cut.

ORGANIZATION Z.
COMPLIMENTED. / j.

President J. r. Howard of the Amer,
lean Farm Bureau Federation declares
that the raising of a quarter-million
dollars by certain. interests at the re-
cent meeting in Cincinnati is a high i
compliment to the effectiveness of Or
ganized agriculture's efforts to vital
ize cooperative marketing.
II regard it as a special compli- +
ment to the Farm Bureau movement !
when the marketing interests which
have prospered so long at the farmers
expense band together and raise a.
war chest to fight US. am informed
that million will be raised If neces-
gary, to fight the cooperative market
ing of grain. Presently, think the
grain interests will come to realize
that even a million is not enough of a :
slush fund to stop the determined, de- /
f1ated farmers of America from mar .
keting their own products cooperative
ly to the best interests of both pro- i
ducer and consumer Ours is an CO. :.
onomic movement. It has been stead
lily developing for decades and tried
time and again by the fires of oppo- 5
sition. The Farm Bureau has vital
lied cooperative marketing in Ameri-
ca. Every producer is alive to the
importance Of joining with his neigh
Dor to have something to say about
distributing what he grows. The pro-
gress of economic truth is not to be,
turned aside by any slush fund or war
chest. The consuming public is with
the farmer, knowing that his looper-
ative marketing plans will result in
cheaper costs of distribution with the
resulting advantage to the buyer The
grain interests, contributing to tho
slush fund would better save their
money. They will need it, because
they will have to quit taking 1t SO
easily by merely standing between the
farmer and the consumer. Neverthe~
less it is a great compliment to the
whole farmers movement to see the );
panicky efforts to stop it by raising q
slush fund of a quarter-million and
brazenly announce that it will be used
to throttle the efforts of the produc-
ers on whom they have lived all these
years." =

HOGS GOOD CORN-HUsKERs.

No less than 186,6O5, 900 bushels of
corn are ripening in Missouri fields,
and here, again, the hog is coming to
the rescue of the farmer-both as a
mortgage litter and as a corn husker.
When allowed to husk their own
corn the hogs viii lactually produce
more pork to the acre than when the
crop is husked by hand and hand fed
and they charge nothing for their
labor.
"For hogging down corn most
feeders prefer well grown but thin
shoats weighing from 125 to 150
pounds-shoats that have been grown
through the summer on forage and
have not been previously fed heavy
grain ration" says L. A. Weaver, of
the Missouri College of Agriculture.
Following these with sows and
smaller pigs will reduce the waste to
minimum. Less grain will ordin-
arily be wasted, also, if the range is
limited to that which the hogs will
clean up in ten to fourteen days. A
cheap fence may be provided by
tightly set stretching low woven
wire between posts set at the ends
of the line. 1t is also advisable to
tie the wire to the corn stalks be-
tween the two end posts.
"Care must be obsered, of course,
in bringing the hogs to full feed.
This may be done by cutting some of
the green corn and feeding it to the
hogs before turning them into the
field. The amount fed at first should
be small and should be gradually in
creased until the hogs are on full
feed.
"a large amount of water is re-
quired by hogs on full feed. Hence,
it is particularly essential that an
abundance of pure drinking water be
available.
cit is also a good practice to sup
ply the hogs with mineral mixture
of some kind. Glaubers salts, 3
parts; copperas, parts; sal soda, 8
parts; common salt, 8 parts; char
coal, parts, and sulphur, 1 part, in
boxes within reach of the hogs will
help preent worms"

NEW SOURCE OF BINDER
TWINE.

The cultivation Of sisal and ma
guey for binder twine has been pro-
NOTED to such an extent by the CO.
operation of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture with the
Philippine Bureau of Agriculture that
these fibres are looked upon as an
extensive future source of American
supply.
II. I. Edwards, specialist in fibre
plant production, recently returned
from the Philippines and Java, re-
ports that $4,000 acres We're devoted
to maguey and sisal in the archipel-
ago this year, and the yield was ap-
prOximately 1878 metric tons of q
200 pounds. The value was about
81 100000 in American money.
Philippine maguey fibre formerly
was used extensively by American
binder twine manufacturers. This
fibre, which was cleaned by retting
the maguey leaves in salt water, fell
into disfavor when it was learned
that binder twine made from the
salty fibre was subject to the attack
of insects.
The Department of Agriculture, in
cooperation with the Philippine Bu-
reau of Agriculture, purchased three
modern fibre-cleaning machines, with
which they demonstrated that ma
guey can be cleaned profitably by
machines and without the use of salt
water. AS a result Of this cooper
ative government work, aided by pri-
vate enterprise, 18 machines have
been imported, and machine cleaning
Of maguey and sisal fibre in the
Philippine Islands is now established
on commercial basis.
While the quantity Of binder-twine
fibre now raised in the Philippines
IS only drop in the bucket compared
with American and world demand,
the department authorities believe
the development of the industry
promises a future output which will
relieve American manufacturers of
the present almost absolute depend
ence on Yucatan, where internal and
international conditions have some
times imperiled the American supply
The department is encouraging the
substitution of sisal for the more
commonly cultivated maguey.

WHAT ANIMALS TO SELL AT
THIS TIME.


Cool days and nights warn live
stock growers that the grazing sea-
sen for the year is nearing an end.
It is time plans for housing and feed
ing farm animals were made. Most
farmers who are growers of live
stock find they have surplus of
animals on hand. In many instances
the question of which to keep and
which to sell will have to be an
swered. Because of the impossible
ity of accurately predicting future
market demands and prices, no one
is qualified to offer information as
to how profitable the feeding of the
various types Of livestock may be the
coming winter, or even to say that a
loss may not be sustained. A few
practices can be followed, however,
that have proved profitable in the
past and are pretty sure to prove
profitable through the winter.
1. Do not attempt to winter more
livestock than you can provide with
comfortable, sanitary shelter.
2. Do not attempt to winter more
stock than you can feed literally on
good wholesome food.
3. Cattle and sheep that are to be
marketed off grass should be sold as
soon as the pasture begins to fal,
for if held through the cold fall
months on poor pasture, they will
shrink great deal, lose their bloom
end sell for less money than if mar
keted now while they are fresh and
sappy.
a. In all cases where breeding
herds are being maintained, the ques-
ton Of which animals to be sold
should be determined by a vigorous
process of culling. Sell the older fe-
males that are showing signs of hav-
ing passed their period of greatest
usefulness as breeders. Also dis
pose of all young females that are of
undesirable type.
5. A general rule pretty safe to
follow IN the marketing of hogs is to
sell when they weigh on an average
between 200 and $50 pounds.
6. Whether it will pay to fatten
cattle, sheep OF hogs the coming win
ter is a question that is hard to an
swer. The purchasing of thin cat
tie, sheep OF hogs in an open market
and shipping them out to farm to
be fattened through a short feeding
period is risky enterprise at any
time, because high freight rates,
shrinkage and other expenses make
it necessary that a decided margin
in selling price per pound over cost
price be secured in order to allow of
a profit. Whether or not this mar
gin will be Forthcoming this winter
remains to be seen.
1t will be sound practice, however,
for the man who has cattle, sheep or
hogs now, and also has feed raised on
his own farm suitable for fattening,
to market the feed by fattening the
stock. The freight on a ton of feed
when converted into pork, beef CT
mutton, is just about one-third the
amount required in shipping the orig
inal crop. The price of livestock is
low, but the price OF grain and hay
is still lower, and where other costs
in fattening are kept at a minimum
the chances favor increasing tn
value of the crops by feeding them
