COUNTY AGENT WORK

Successful extension work in sec
ton where the plantation system of
farming prevails is reported to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture in the case of Madison parish,
Louisiana. There are approximately
100 plantations in the parish, practi-
cally all of which the county exten-
sion agent visits in the course of the
year. Last year S5 per cent of these
plantations were aided in their pecan
work, Is per cent carried on demon
strations in soil improvement, and
eight per cent received help in live
stock sanitation. In carrying on these
demonstrations the farm manager
acts as the local leader, and through
him practically all the tenants bene-
fit from the extension agents activi-

COST OF HORSE LABOR
CAN BE CUT DOWN NOW

With the harvest season almost
ended in Kentucky, farmers can cut
the cost of their horse labor by econ
omizing in the feeding and care of
work stock during the coming win
ter, according to w. S. Anderson, a
member of the animal husbandry de-
partment of the College of Agricul-
ture, and well-known authority on
horses. Only a small part of the av-
erage number of work animals will
be needed on the farm between now
and the time of early spring plowipg.
This form of economy is especially
important at this time in view of
the fact that the chief consideration
of the farmer is tor educe cost of
production and of operation.
Work stock in the early fall will
do well with third to a half grain
ration and access to good pasture
field. The grain can be gradually
lessened until the animals are con-
suming only the roughage of the pas
ture which may be supplemented by
stover, straw or rough hays. If a
shed can be provided so that the
work stock can go into it to protect
themselves from severe storms, they
will do well the entire winter running
at large in a boundary. AS cold wea-
ther comes on and grass disappears,
somes uitable roughage must be pro-
vided. Access to a straw or hay stack
or plenty of corn stover will enable
the animals to go through in fair
flesh. Some grain should be given,
however, in the coolest and toughest
weather
1T is not necessary that idle stock
be kept in stalls and fed like stock
which is in the harness daily. Free
dom of field where plenty of exer-
else can be had and access to a rea-
sonable amount of roughage is all
that is necessary. This method of
Carrying work stock through the win
ter cuts off the big items of daily at
tention such as feeding, watering and
cleaning stalls. A big part of the
grain feed also is saved by this meth
cd of handling the animals.
Horses and mules that will not be
needed for heavy road work for some
months to come should have their
strong enough to bear up, they should
be allowed to go without shoes from
this time until spring work begins.
A considerable item of expense can
be saved in this way"

seen in Kentucky.
The hurley growers had to wait a
while for their price to be met. This
is not an uncommon experience in
the merchandising line. The store
keeper is accustomed to figure on a
certain amount Of time in disposing
Of his wares. He could sell out his
stock in a day If he were to permit
the public to take what is wanted at
any price the buyers might offere.
The farmer is now a merchant. He
is, marketing his goods and helping
fix their price. That he has the right
method is proven by the success OF
growers Of other pooled products.
That the seller must be able TO help
control his price is the oldest rule In
business.
The tobacco auction was never con-
vincing, Sometimes, the buyers for
the manufacturers did run up the bid

was kept on a decidedly conservative
basis.
