COST OF FARMING is
FOUND MUCH REDUCED

Cost accounts kept by Ohio farm
ers with the aid of farm manage
ment specialists at the Ohio State
university show that. though prices
paid for farm products continue
proportionately low, as compared to
the prices Of manufactured prod
ucts, yet the costs of operating a
farm are less than they were year
ago, and considerably less than they
were two years ago.
A study of horse labor costs just
completed from the books Of such
farmer corporations in Greene
county shows that, on an average,
the annual keep of each animal
dropped from $161 in 1920 to
around $111 in 1921. This is re-
duction of $50 year, or of 81 per-
cent

AS to fruit in general, reports
from orchard men all over Ohio in
dicate that trees bloomed early, such
as Yellow Transparent and Duchess
apples, and peaches in general got
off relatively light as to frost injury,
and promise to make a nearly norm
al crop.
Chinch bugs will be very bad this
year, says T. H. Parks, Ext. Entomo-
logist.
Watch and spray! Particularly

Sam says "The most important
thing for farmer to remember is

Frosted apple leaves now falling
in many orchards are the first leaves
that formed. Since newer leaves,
towards ends of the branches are
generally unhurt, there are plenty
left to feed the tree until fall.

The Home Of the Soul

In olden times, 1t was believed
that the seat of the soul was the
stomach, most likely for the reason
that man is never so completely
used up-as when his stomach is out
of order. For the cure of ordinary
stomach troubles, there is nothing
quite so prompt and satisfactory as
