Walter S. Diokey OF Kansas City.

and to fog the issue" Mr.. Dickey

by Atlantic ports, New York particu.

you make it possible for the farmer

That does not mean the farmer
sells his wheat cheaper. The cost of
wheat in Liverpool is determined by
world conditions, and in turn governs
the market here and in all wheat pro-
Gucing countries in the world. Con.
sequent'y, when you save twenty
cents a bushel on transportation
costs, the producer gets the whole
saving. None of it goes to the Middle

there in force.
When Rev. A. ]. Archibald, the

TO BACK UP PASTURES
Farmers Should Plan in Spring to
Plant so.Ing Crops

Burlington, April "a. Farmers
should make plans now for summer
soiling crops and not wait until dried
up pastures and shrinking cows are
sstaring them in the face, says S. G.
Judd, acting Dairy Extension Special
list of the University of Vermont, Col
lege of Agriculture, Burlington, VT
Past experience teaches us that
while dur cows are stimulated in milk
flow on flush May and June pastures
they usually begin to shrink in early
July. Often by August, particularly
in dry seasons, feed has become so
scant in the pastures that our cattle
shrink in flesh and unless otherwise
provided for will come into the barn
in the fall in unthrifty condition. I'M
der these conditions q spring fresh
COW Is dry by fall and must be carried
without return until the next spring.
The reason for this July shrinkage is
the fact that much OF the pasture
grass has matured and has not the
stimulating effect OF the young grass
in May and June. TO keep production
uniform, foresighted farmers grow
solling crops to supplement the pas
lures in midsummer.
The best crop for this purpose is
oats and Canada field eas, sown at the
rate Of one and one half bushels Of
each seed per acre. Three sowings
made about ten days apart In April
will carry the herd through July and
most of August The yield should be
six to eight tons per acre. In feeding
soiling crops most farmers do not feed
enough of them. Assuming that the
COW gets one half her feed from the
pasture, she will need fifty pounds Of
oats and peas per day to provide the
balance OF her requirements
Mtllet can be sown to follow the
oats and peas. Often it is more eco.
nomical TO plant extra silage corn
and use this as green feed after oats
and peas Many farmers SOW barley
in July or early August and use It as
a solling crop through September and
early October because barley is very
resistant to frost.

Our social security lies in an un.

We ask for minimum wage boards 10
prevent any group Of wage earning
women being paid a pauperizing wage
because a low paid group Is a menace
