Corn Better Than Wood for Fuel

So many farmers in certain dis
tricts of Minnesota are burning corn
for fuel, that inquiries have reached
University Farm as to the relative
heat units of corn, wood and coal.
The average coal, which may be TAX
en- as the standard, varies in British
thermal units from 10000 to a.
900, depending on quality. Soft
wood carries in such heat units from
5000 to 1000, while hard wood gen
orally runs somewhat above 1000.
"B. T. u" is the technical express
sion for the heat required to raise
a pound of water / degree Fahren-
heit.
J. J. William, plant chemist at
University Farm, to whom a query
was directed, made no direct determ-
nations in the particular case, but
said that calculations indicated that
ear corn has a somewhat higher fuel
value than good hard wood, pound
for pound or ton for ton, varying, of
course, according to the amount of
moisture in the corn. Mr.. Whitman

Potato Exchange Standing the Test

Potato Exchange Standing the Test
James Cumming, community and
county leader, member of the state
legislature, and president Of the Min
nesota Potato Exchange, the cooper
alive society organized by growers
for marketing potatoes, is confident
that the exchange is going to weather
every storm and be a big success.
He says:
"The Minnesota Potato Exchange
has stood a test since its organize
ton which it will not be called up
on to go through again, furnishing
ample proof that it will solve most
of the farmers problems by bring
ing him more closely in touch with
the consumer and serving as med
ium by which he can obtain farm
ing equipment and supplies at the
least possible cost.
"The Exchange has been built on
a firm foundation, and though diff
culties have had to be overcome, like
other conservative enterprises it is
bound to succeed. Some day these
farmers exchanges will be handling
wool, vegetables, honey, hay and
grain, giving each as much attention
as is given potatoes now"

WHEAT AND CORN
COST PER ACRE
Springfield Farmer Proves Cost
Much Greater Than
Receipts

The Springfield Drown county,
Advance in a recent number pub
lisked the following figures COM
piled by a farmer in that locality
showing what it cost him per acre
to raise his last years crop Of wheat
and corn. It would seem that the
figures furnished by this farmer are
conservative, possibly a little high
in some instances and possibly a
little low in others. This farmer Of
course figures that he is a heavy
loser on his last seasons crop, based
on present prices.
The Tribune would be glad to pub
lish similar figures furnished by 10
cal farmers, if any have kept such.
The Springfield farmers costs as
figured by him follow:

Farm Management One Day School


Farm management meetings or
one-day schools will be conducted
over the state this winter by w. L..
Cavert, farm Management demon
strator on the agricultural extern
sion staff of the state university. Mr..
Cavert has selected series of II
subjects, part of them dealing with
costs of production, and others afford
ing a study of the average seasonal
trend in prices of farm products, also
work in keeping accounts, renting
farms and planning we'll balanced
cropping system.
Only a limited number of these
schools can be held in county and
no more than two of the subjects,
which are to be previously agreed
upon by a community, will be taken
up at a given meeting. In consider
ing costs the farmers present will be
asked to make estimates as to each
item of production expense. The
University Farm representative will
then summarize the figures on the
blac kboard and lead the discussion.
Farm bureaus or other groups of
farmers can arrange for this service
through the medium of the county
agent.

A JOYFUL Funeral

Not long ago there was q unique
funeral down in a Wisconsin town
where a cow testing association had
been doing some good work. They
had a scrub bull funeral. A picnic
was held and the funeral OF the last
scrub bull in the community attract
ed so much attention that over 500
people attended. A pure bred
Guernsey bull, the animal that took
the place of the deceased scrub, was
hitched to a milk wagon which con-
tanned a crate representing a coffin.
The wagon was decorated with flags,
blu the coffin was decorated
with stick tights and bull this
les. A leading lawyer Of the COM
munity acted as undertaken and
pastor. A fifteen piece band head
ed the procession which was made up
of fifty automobiles and a large num-
Der who followed on foot. Extreme
gaiety marked all the proceedings in
stead of the grief incident to the
usual funeral. The procession wend-
ed it's way to bridge over a river
where after proper ceremonies, the
coffin, crate and all were dumped in
to the river. The farm community
is now on a hundred percent pure
bred bull basis. The funeral
attracted more attention than
any other ever held in
the neighborhood and sentiment
among the farmers is such that if
ever again a scrub bull entered or
there would be a riot.

ing communities would be much diff
erent.
It is the opinion Of many econ
omic experts that in so far as grain
growing is concerned there will new
er be much remuneration coming to
the farmer but that dairying will
yield steady and sure return and
a good one on the investment.
The fact remains, however, that
some grain must be grown to feed
humanity, and in order to insure
this, the growing Of it must be at a
profit and not a loss.
