Scrub Stations on Decrease.

| Comparative figures from fourteen
leading horse producing states show
there has been a decrease since 1916
of about 60 per cent in the number of
| creased little less than so per cent,
indicating that grades, scrubs and
crossbreds are not holding their place
as well as the purebreds are. The
fourteen states surveyed had an en-
rollment of 46,121 stations in 1916
and only 1902 in 1921. However,
there was an apparent slackening in
the decline last year. OF the stall
lions in eighteen states in 1921, 74.2
per cent were purebred. Evidently
as the number decreases the quality
improves.
Jacks increased in number until
last year when there was a slight de-
crease; 29 per cent of the stations
and jacks enrolled for public service
in fifteen states last year were jacks;
in ten states in 1916 only 9.3 per cent
were jacks. The number of stations
of the light breeds has been decreas-
ing at a faster rate than OF the draft
breeds.
Some states are legislating to i'm
prove breeding stock. For instance,
Indiana and Pennsylvania permit only
the use of purebreds for public serv-
ice, either stations or jacks, and
Michigan will have similar law in
effect the first of next year. They
also disqualify stations and Jacks of
inferior type or conformation, un-
sound, or that would in anf other way

interests of their states.

OF that opinion. The thing went by
reclamation; Ballantrae was made
quartermaster, the rum was put in
his charge, laws were passed in imi-

name of Roberts; and the last pro-
posai was to make an end of Teach.
But Ballantrae was afraid of a more

More than 100000 acres of corn in
Iowa will be "hogged down" this year,
and this plan is expected to yield a
good profit. Hogging down means
turning hogs into corn fields to get
the corn for themselves-and they get
it, picking up or roofing out every
kernel. The saving of labor and the
wholesome freedom and exercise for
the hogs are believed to more than
offset any greater profit that might
be made from harvesting the corn
and feeding it to penned animals. This
means that z per cent of the total
corn area of the state is to be hogged
down.

Was Regular Case.

County Agent Robert Cowan asked
the auctioneer if that was a regular
case, and he answered that he most
always received from $40 to $50
more for cows, with testing associa-
ton records than where they had no
records on the milk and butterfat pro-
duction.
Cow testing association records do
more than pay for themselves at
sales" remarked Frank w. Kehrli.
dairy specialist of the extension sery-
ice. They enable a dairyman to
know at all times just where his
COWS are in milk and butterfat pro-
duction. Many illustrations might be
given of how poor cows, which were
supposed to be among the best in the
herd had been found out and elm
mated.
You can't tell anything about a
COW till you first put her on test, Mr..
Youngquest of Mt. Vernon told me
the other day. One of the best COWS
in our herd we were going to dispose
of because we thought her no good.
1t happened that her sister, who was
on test, got hurt and we put this COW
on to finish her time, and in this way
we found that she was a 532-pound
butterfat cow"
Cow testing, for milk and butter
fat production, is one of the best
friends of the dairyman and it is i'm
possible to build up herd without it.

Trying To Make 3 Dreams Come
True In Pro-
jects
BY NORRIS QUINN.
Copyright, 1929

DETROIT, Jan. 90. Henry Ford
is trying to make three dseans come
true.
Those dreams have been behind
every massive business move Ford
has made, or planned in the last year
his bid to buy the undexel-
oped power plant at Muscle Shoals,
ALA.
And if you watch closely you'll
see these three dreams behind every
Ford enterprise in years TO come.
One.-D Doing away with the neces-
sity for great cities and getting the
peoplc-cyen industrial workers
back to the soil
Two fastening the arrival of an
era when heat, light and power will
be so abundant that sit will be waste
full not to use them'-this by inten-
sive development of water power.
Revising our financial sys-
tenn SO money won't have the power
to stop things'
Ford told all about his. three
dreams and how, he hopes to make
them come true in an interview here.
Doom of Great Cities.
"The great cities are doomed" the
auto magnate said. He made a ges-
ture as if he were actually sweeping
The cities away.
Il don't mean they'll fall into ruins
Immediately. But they'll go sooner
than you think. A few will stay.
They will be big distributing and as
sembIing points-not congested cen
ters.
The people will go back to the
farm and small town. They're head
ed that way now.
"The city's served useful pur-
pose. It's taught people how to live
in groups and close communities.
When. they go back to the country
they won't tolerate unpaved streets,
badly equipped schools, defective san
itation.
The coming small town will have
all the advantages of the big city and
none of its drawbacks"
"Then will factory workers COM
mute to and from their work?"
mot at alp Ford answered. "Their
work will commute to and from
themI They'll complete the work
in their village workship-then it
Iwill be sent to one of the big as
Esembling and distributing points.

HARDING URGES
NEW FINANCING; L;
FOR FARMERS s
Advocates Putting Industry On
Basis Of Own, AS He Opens
Conference


! WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The de-
lvelopment of thorough code of law
and business procedure, with the
Eproper machinery of finance, to as
sure the farmer as generous a supply
Iof working capital on as reasonable
terms as is granted to other indus
tries, was advocated here today by
President Harding in opening the ma
[tional Agricultural conference.
"An industry" the president said,
more vital than any other, in which
nearly half of the wealth of the ma
tion is invested, can be relied upon
for good security and certain in re-
turns"
The conference, attended by APP
proximity three hundred delegates
representing agriculture in all its
phases and Industries related to farm
ing, was called to order by Secretary
Wallace.
In his address President Hard
ing outlined half a dozen broad ques-
tions to the consideration of which
the conference might well give at
tention. He included the formation
of loaning, buying and selling asso-
Citations; the creation of instrumen-
tahties for collection and distribu-
tion information; practical develop
ment of the water resources of the
country; methods for bringing about
further reclamation, rehabilitation
and extension of agricultural areas;
and the promotion Of new eoncep-
ton of the farmers place in the ma.
tlonal social and economic scheme.
Five days have been allotted for
the conference which is expected to
first consider the emergency facing
1.-THE country's producers and then to
take up the matter of permanent
agricultural policy. Over half Of the
personnel IS composed of adirtn farm
ers, the remainder comprise repre-
lSentatives of state agricultural Of
ficlals, state agricultural colleges, edi-
tors of agricultural papers and indus.
tries dependent on agriculture for
their existence.
Twenty-six women, several Of
Whom own and operate their own
farms, were included in the list Of
invited delegates.
The present agricultural situation
and suggested remedies viii be laid
before the conference at the after
noon session through reports by rep
resentatives from the leading farm
regions of the United States.

i5hed and brought back here.
''The workmen live under semi-ru-

Il spoke of using water power to
operate the little experimental plants

Let me tell you, water is the gol-
den fluid of the future. 1t will give
US our light, our heat, our power.

as it rains, rivers will flow and they'll
supply power ceaselessly.

it win be &asteful net to use all you
can.
"And it will cost little. A river
charges nothing for flowing. And 1t
c SITS but little to make the power
and deliver it TO the user"
Then, Ford turned to currency re-
form, the one Of his three projects
that's had wide publicity.
Moneys yalueless, except to move
things" he said "You can't eat
money. It's useful only as medium
just like this wire" And Ford
seized the wire that dangled from
his telephone.
But money doesn't fulfill its func-
ton. When you want to use it, you
have to go to almopey lender to buy
it.
"What does 'defation' mean? That
bankers are trying to make the sup
ply of money approximate the supply
of gold.
why, to make business run on
gold is like making passenger traffic
on a main line dependent on facili-
ties Of a local branh line with one
train a day!
That's why ] believe in issuing
currency backed by public wealth."
Opportunity At Muscle Shoals.
Ford paused again.
Now, at Muscle Shoals" he said,
there's chance to work out all of
these things.
That whole country could be laid
out in senii-rural communities.
And water power possibilities are
just waiting to be developed. The
Tennessee river is second in power
possibilities only to the Niagara.
THAT power should be used to
manufacture Southern raw products
right there, instead of shipping them
half way across the continent and
back again.
And Muscle Shoals could furnish
opportunity to show the government
how to develop public works without
paying three times their cost in in
terest charges. But our public offic-
ials will have to. see the idea clearly
first.
Fright now every farmer should
be encouraged to harness whatever
water power he may have, if it isn't
any more than rill. Even that will
heat the farm home and run the farm
machinery.
Diagrams and plans for small de-
vices Of that kind are being made
now"
