FARM PROBLEMS ARE.
TO BE TAUGHT NOW.
Actual Farm Problems for
Communities Is a New Idea
Being Worked Out.

That agricultural instruction in
instruction in schools should be
based upon and have a vital cOnneC-
tiCn with the actual farm problems
Of the people of the community is
one of the newer educational ideas
which is being made use of effective
IL in the work which the States Re-
IatiOns Service. United States De-
partment of Agriculture, is doing in
cooperation with the Federal Board
for Vocational Education to improve
the teaching of agriculture in the
rural schools The basis of this
work is what has come TO be known
as job analysis of farm enterprises
I This means that a careful study is
made of the agricultural conditions
and problems of the community, and
on the basis Of the knowledge so
obtained courses of instruction are
formulated which IL is thought Will
be most likely 10 aid in the practical
solution of these problems.
The work of producing and mark
citing a farm problem is called
farm enterprise, the unit Of farm
operation. In making an analysis of
the farm enterprise, the jobs of
farmer in producing and marketing
the product are determined, and
with each job. respectively, the kind
Of knowledge and skill needed for
doing the jobs as we'll as they can
/ be done This will neable him as
farmer 70 more easily apply the
knowledge he gains to his work.
Suppose a farmer or a farmers
son feels that he needs TO know more
about potato raising or pork produc-
ton. He may apply to an agricul-
tural school where a unit course has
been organized, based upon the job
analysis of the farm. enterprise. The
student finds that the unit course is
composed Of the jobs with which he
is confronted on his farm, such as
selecting seed potatoes, determining
the adaptability of a piece Of land
for potato raising, blowing, cultivat-
ing finding a market, and grading
and packing potatoes for market.
Each lob" in the course has been
carefully analysed by an expert after
making a thorough study OF the
work necessary for the efficient pro
ductiOn and marketing of. certain
farm products, and after comforting
with successful farmers regarding
the essential Jobs in the enterprise.
A student may complete studies on
each Job" or section of the work
separately The plan may be COM
pared to a home economics course
from which a prospective student
may elect the enterprise" of cook
ing, laundry work, or dress making.
| Under cooking the student might
need to study the job Of pastry
work or bread making, using each
I job as the basis for series Of de-
tailed lessons.

long askew. Will again become work
able and agriculture will find a firm
foundation.
That program forms the best So
luton Of the agrarian ills OF the
country IL the consensus Of farm
ers' views counts for anything.
Farmers throughout the United
States are talking OF bursting sur
plusses and products. The excess in
foodstuffs held, however, is due to
the fact that there is no market de-
mand, officials at the United States
Department of Agriculture asserted
today.
There is no real Overproduction.
The trouble is that there is under
consumption, they say. Claim is
made by them that there is not
enough food in the world today 10
provide for normal consumption.
In the fifty years following the
Civil war, according to best stats
tics available. the United States
farmer increased cotton production
FIVE times. wheat production four
times and corn three times. This in
crease happened while the pOpula-
ton of the country only Increased
two and three-fourths times
No wonder" says DR.. T. d. Ball.
director Of scientific work of the
Agricultural Department. that when
the Secretary Of Agriculture states
that the United States produced
% percent of the wheat 60 percent
Of the cotton and IS percent of the
corn Of the world. with only one
sixth Of its population, the nation
should feel it was on a firm foun-
dalton and its future prosperity as
sured.
THE peak OF agricultural produc-
ton per capita Of population was
passed in 1898. Agricultural produc-
ton almost kept pace with popula-
ton increase for some little time af-
ter that date, but in the last decade
it has steadily and ever more rapid
ly fallen.
Probably this can be more con-
cretely shown by the definite state
ment that the cotton production has
fallen in a decade from 100000
bales to less than 100000 bales.
Corn production reached it's peak
decade ago and has remained Drac-
tically stationary ever since. The
1920 average was 1O4,OOO,OOO bush
els. the same as it was in 1910.
be even worse if It had not been for
the fact Of the great war drive and
the remarkable advance in the sell
ling price of this cash crop.
The combination, however, only
forced it up temporarily, and It has
dropped back almost to pre-war
average"
DR.. Ball declares that the larger
area OF fertile land in the country
has been taken up and that the in
crease in farm area in the future
will be very slow. Production costs
will be higher, he predicts.
Statisticians in the Department OF
Agriculture have estimated tina the
population OF the United States will
be more than 22O,OOO,00O at the
close of the present century. They
have placed the probable time in
which the United States will begin
to import staple foods at from 10
to 80 years. America today, they
declare. is a food-importing nation,
measured in dollars.

HOW CORN CHAMP
GREW HIS CROP
X. l.. Heilman Tells How Ten
Ear Sample Won Sweep
stakes at Purdue.

Some points worth thinking about
on corn growing were brought out
recently By r. L. Heilman. of Hope,
whose ten ear sample of corn took
weepstakes honors in the state corn
show held in January at Purdue
University. Mr. Heilman uses good
methods in corn production and gets
sood yields which shows tina show
type corn is high yielding. He won
a bronze medal given by the Indiana
Corn Growers Association in the FIVE
acre corn growing contest for yield
of 7S.5 bushels to the acre.
Improved Quality.
Il have been trying to improve the
quality and quantity each year by Sc
lection and testing of seed" said
Mr.. Heilman. The reason I find
that testing is necessary each year
is because with the modern method
Of testing, all ears that show disease
and low termination can be discard
ed before planting time"
The soil on which he grew the
grand sweepstakes ears last year was
level, black bottom land, tile drained.
The previous crops were, lSZO, Al
sike clover; 1919, wheat; 1918. oats
and wheat; 1917, corn.
Planned During Winter.
The ground was plowed during the
winter and early spring and worked
into ideal condition the latter part of
April 1t was planted May 3, and
Z, with about so pounds of 2-S-2
fertilizer per acre. The rows were
SO inches apart and it was drilled Is
inches in the row. The corn was
cultivated four times, a severe wind
storm blowing the corn down and
preventing further cultivation. Ow-
ing to this wind storm and the dry,
hot weather, the yield which would
have been much higher was cut to
1876.
During the first two weeks in No
vember, the corn was husked and
the seed corn picked as the wagon
went through the field. Mr.. He'll
man attributes his success as a corn
grower to selection Of seed in the fall
from standing stalks and then thor
ough testing of his seed every spring.

WAR SHELL KILLS ONE BOY,
SLIGHTLY INJURIES ANOTHER

A narrow escape from death was
experienced by Thomas Creek, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Creek of
this city, Saturday, when a shell
exploded after being thrown against
tree by playmate, Wesley Gull
liams, and the later instantly killed,
the accident occurring at Reno,
where the Creek boy was visiting.
The shell was one which had been
in the Guilliams home for several
years and was regarded as a harm
less relic of the world war. The
explosion came as a result of the
injured lad having thrown the mis-
sile against a tree where it instantly
exploded, scattering projectiles in
many directions. That the Greek
lad escaped with only minor in
juries is considered miraculous. De-
ceased was a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
L. Guilliams of Reno.

HUNTERS PREPARING FOR
OPENING OF DEER SEASON

Many hunters throughout the
state are making preparations for
journeying into the hills Friday in
quest of deer, the season for the
killing Of those animals being open
on that date. Among places to be
visited are the China garden above
Toll House, Martin Creek, Pine
Forest range and the Grant Noun
tain near Gerlach, also the Sonoma
range near this city.
Deer hunting furnishes one OF
the best sports of this country and
many hunters make yearly trips to
their regular hunting grounds. Num-
bers Of sportsmen come from Reno
and Carson yearly to take advantage
of the splendid hunting in this part
of the state.
Saturday the duck season opens
and due to the prevalence of these
birds in this county along the Hum
boldt, good sport is being looked
for in that line also.

FLAMES DESTROY
. NEWSPA PAPER PLANT
Battle Mountain Scout Office and
Equipment, Owned By Winne-
mucca Men, Burned With
Loss of $500 to $4,000

Fire of unknown origin which
started yesterday afternoon about
4:30 o'clock partially destroyed the
printing plant and office of the
Battle Mountain Scout, published
by A. L. Bracket and R. C. Stit-
ser of this city, who are also pub
fishers of the Humboldt Star. Loss
of the printing plant is said to be
practically complete, while the frame
building in which the paper was
printed was badly damaged by the
flames but can probably be partially
salvaged. Loss is set at between
$2500 and $4,000, partially covered
by insurance.
First information of the fire was
received by the owners in this city
late yesterday afternoon when f.
K. Triplett, manager of the Scout
telephoned to his employers and
told them that the plant had burned
He stated that no one was in the
oiiiNC lhC iiIt leu, ne De-
ing in another section of the town
attending to business matters, The
only theory advanced by him as to
the probable cause of the fire is that
the sun, shining through a window
may have ignited an oily rag or a
rag dampened with gasoline used
for removing ink from forms.
The plant was equipped with two
presses, newspaper cylinder and a
platen job press, in addition to type
and other necessary equipment for
printing, and office equipment. Both
the printing plant and the building
were owned by Messrs. Bracket
and Stitser, who left for Battle
Mountain today to take charge of
rehabilitation work. 1t is stated
by them that the plant will be re-
placed as rapidly as possible.
