Financial Aid to U. S. Agriculture
Totals $133,547,2I5.

Washinton, Dec. 2o.-Government
financial relief for American agri.
culture totals $I33547,2I5 and the
governments advances have prevent
ed crisis in the farm districts, the
war finance corporation Thursday
reported to congress.
Under the new powers given the
corporation by congress to assist do
mestic agriculture, the farmers have
been benefited to the extent of $8z.-
ooo.o 900. In this total, three groups
participated principally. They were
grain, $I5.oO0,O 900; cotton, $22, ooo,-
900; livestock, $12, 900.
Congress was told that the gov
ernment's farm credit policy has
gone far toward restoring conf
dence. where confidence was lacking
and of reopsning credit or trade
channels for interests that were fac
ing bankruptcy in the sudden price
tumbles many months ago.
The governments credit policy with
respect to the farmers has extended
benefits to other industi les than
those sharing the loans directly, the

Three Acres of Corn for Taxes.

There was time when the farmer
reckoned the cost of things in terms
OF dollars and cents, but now he has
changed and to gain a clearer idea
of values and what things really cost,
reckons in terms OF produce or BUSH
els. Just as an instance take the case
of a Buchanan county farmer who OH
q trip to Chicago and return last
week GU: his expense bill So by rid
ing in a|chair car instead of Pull
man. Reducing So to. bushels, Mr..
M iididfffrtUn inquired THAT at 70 cents
per bushcl it would have required
forty bushels of oats to pay his Pull
man fare, not including the porter's
tip. Forty bushels of oats would
make fair-sized wagonload, and Mr..
Middleton was justified in hesitat-
ing to exchange that quantity of
grain for two nights privileges on
Pullman. The reader will not fail to
notice the disproportion existing be-
tween the cost Oh the Pullman ser
vice and the exchange value of the
eats. The thought suggests itself at
ence that somethig is wrong when
one costs so much and the other is
worth so little-one luxury and the
ether necessity.
A farmer out in Nebraska who
writes occasionally for this paper has
been computing his state taxes in
hushels OF corn, and the result is
equal interest to the incident re-
ported from this county. He has
tabulated Nhe state taxes paid on
farm in Buffalo county during a
period of ten years, together with
The average farm price for corn on
December 1 each year. as given by
the yearbook of the department of
agriculture. and the number of BUSH
els Of corn required to pay the taxes.
The tabulation is as follows:

farmer they are now burdensome
He would not feel the burden so
heavily if he were getting fair price
for his produce. and it is because the
burden is so onerous that he is reck-
oning it in bushels of corn and oats.
The disproportion between the Ne
braska farmers taxes and the mar
set value OF corn is not as great az
that between the cost 81 Pu Imam
service and the market value of the
Buchanan county farmers oats.
Three acres of corn. at an average
yield of forty five bushels per acre,

and that does not have the appear
ance of undue exaction, even when
corn is only 80 cents per bushel.
That is not saying, however, that the
price of corn is not too low, or that
the taxes are not too high.
Hard times have an educational
value that is not to be overlooked or
disparaged.-St. Joseph Observer.

That $500 Prize.

The County Agent is very anxious
that Bates County enter the 1922
Better Bull Contest, the prize money
for which is being offered by the
Kansas City Chamber of Commerce,

is large county and since there is
room for Improvement of our live
stock, we all know that this county
has as good chance for first prize
in this contest, if every member Of
the Breeders Association will push
it.
Bates county will not be entered
in the contest unless the farmers
want to take this action The matter
will be placed in the hands OF the
Bates County Live Stock Breeders
Association. and it is hoped that 4
meeting will be held i'll the near flu
ture for the purpose of considering
the advisahility Of the county enter

Big Boys and Girls Pig Club at
Rockville.

Mr.. Borden, the energetic cashic
of the Farmers Bank OF Rockville
and Mr.. Brown Kinchloe, Farm
Bureau booster, were in the County
Agents office Monday completing
plans for big Boys and Girls Pts
Club at Rockville.
The Farmers Bank OF Rockville
will take care OF the financial end Of
the Club, taking a IL months note
from every member o. the club toi
the gilt The plans OF the boosters
are to have about IS boys and girls
i'll the club. each take a pure bred
gilt bred for fall litter, then next
January have "a show and sale, sell
ing the SOW and all the pigs. These
gifts will be bred to three or iouT
good we'll bred bears selected by the
men in charge. Also they plan to
Mr.. Charters sale in Nav of this
year, thereby getting each one more
interested in good hogs and i'll tax
ing care OF his own. Also each mem-
Der will be interested in seeing the
ancestors of his or her gut since all
OF them will be OF Mr.. Charters
breeding.
Fiity-live gifts were purchased
Monday by Mr.. Borden from Shaefer
Bros. and from Fred Brayton, west
o. Butler. The gifts will be distrlb-
uted about Feb. Is to the club men,
bers.
We all know that now is the best
time to start Pig Club or to stock
up with pure bred stock OF any kind
for that matter, for at no other time
has pure bred live stock been so near
market price and it is not expected to
stay there very long. We lcel sure
that the farmers around Rockville
will be benefited for several years to
come by such a club, and MIR. Bor-
den has set good example for banks
and we wish others would do the
same. Clubs have been fostered by
banks in other years, but declining
prices hurt the interest i'll them. But
now it seems is the very best time
for such a move and the County
Agent will be glad to assist in any
way possible.
He is assisting the Rockville Club
by supplying record books for each
member, sending them literature and
bulletins every month on topics OF
Importance to them, to get them bet
Ter posted in feeding, caring for hogs,
Judging hogs and keeping interest in
the club work. Also he will help in
Judging contests, and the show and
sale of the pigs. We will probably
have a tour SO all the members can
see the other members hogs some
lime during the summer.
l might add by way OF suggestion
o any other members who have any
dea Of helping with pig club that
hey use more than one breed OF hogs
the Poland Chinas and Du-
oc Jerseys. l might say. also. that
he County Agent had no part IN
hoosing the breed or buying any OF
hese gifts for the Rockville Pig

High Standard Set by Farm Hen:

By closing the year with new
high average for October produc-
ton, total record which exceeded
that of any other year by more than
IL eggs per hen was established by
the birds competing in the Missouri
Demonstration Farm Flock Laying
Contest. In this contest reports
were received from an average OF
I68 farms. each month showing the
production from an average OF LA
hens to each farm or total OF more
than $4,000 hens. These flocks were
located in 81 Missouri counties and
each flock was handled by the own
err under representative conditions.
The average record for each hen
Tor 1921 was 1851 eggs. In the 1890
contest the average was ia eggs and
in 1919, 1868 eggs. while in 1918 the
production averaged only Ioh.o eggs
per bird. Thus the 1921 contest
shows a IS per cent increase IN pro-
duction over the first Contest carried
OH four years ago. Many Of the caa-
tcstants who competed this year
started in 1918 and have participated
during each year of the contest, and
the Improvement in production can be
traced directly to better methods OF
feeding. housing and breeding.
The 1921 records show somewhat
