Fishing in Samoan seas is often done
by the women, and without nets, boats,
or hooks They simply wade into the
water and form themselves into a ring.
The fishes being so plentiful, they are
almost sure to imprison some in the
ring. These women are very quick and
active. and every time they catch a fish
with their hands they simply throw it.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
A certain number of farmers have
long recognized the superiority OF
| purebred animals over scrubs and
grades. By them no exact figures were
needed. There are many men, how
| ever, who demand definite statements
of facts showing that it pays to raise
animals of known blood lines. The
United States Department of Agricul-
| ture now has statements from a large
| number of farmers which go to show
| that the experience of nearly all of
more than 500 of these raisers of pure
breds is in favor of these animals as
profit makers.
Purebreds Far Superior.
An analysis of the large number of
estimates made by these men shows
that they consider purebreds of all
kinds more than one-third better or
more efficient than common stock.
The difference seems to be most
marked in the case of dairy cattle, the
average dairy farmer in the list ques-
toned considering that the COW of
pure breeding was 47.8 per cent bet
ter than the common COW. The SUI
periority Of other kinds of farm stock,
according to the investigation, was as
follows: Poultry, 40.7 per cent;
swine, 1873; sheep, 37.8; horses, 37.2;
beef cattle, 1868, and goats, 1858 per
cent. The average superiority Of all
kinds Of purebred stock over common
stock was given as 40.4 per cent.
Cows and hens show up better than
other kinds Of farm animals probably
because it Is easier to measure their
production and consequently easier to
improve them. A New England dairy
man attributes his increased returns
from purebred dairy COWS to the fact
that more attention is paid to testing
and feeding. Consequently there is
more wedding out of the poorer cows.
which results in building up a better
herd" A Florida poultryman de-
scribed how by trapnesting his flock
he increased the annual egg produc-
ton per hen from so to $50. This
was accomplished by selection and
feeding without introducing new blood.
How do purebreds excel ordinary
stock? Here are the different points
in the order of their Importance as
listed by the Department of Agricul-
ture: Better conformation and quail
ity, better selling price of animals in
creased production, stock more sal
able, more product for the feed, in

prepared by the United States DEPART
ment OF Agriculture.)
The severity of the root, stalk, and
ear rots of corn, diseases found to be
more or less widely distributed
throughout the corn belt, can be
greatly reduced by properly balancing
the fertilizing elements in the soil and
by planting selected strains of corn.
These conclusions are the result of
Investigations carried on by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, in cooperation with number of
state experiment stations.
In the past it was not thought that
the corn plant was particularly sensi-
tive TO the balance of the various ele-
ments in the soil, but now the damage
caused by these rots is believed to
depend largely upon these conditions
and upon climatic factors. Also the
nature of the plant itself-what plant
breeders call the genetic composition
has mach to do with its susceptible

Worthy of High Price.
There appears to be determination
among experienced breeders to get
sires of the desired type and breeding
even at great trouble and high price,
because of their faith in ultimate re-
suits. 'They come high" says one
breeder, "but are worth what they
cost. l saw the need of better cattle
and sold my scrubs and bought regis
tered Herefords. They have more
than paid for themselves" For the
most part, users of purebred sires are
reasonably well satisfied with them
as individuals. OF $50 users, $50 re-
port general satisfaction, II are salts

eral, about 90 per cent Of the own
ers appear to have obtained satisfac-
tory purebreds as sires. The average
estimated increase in financial returns
"traceable to the use of purebred
sires'' was 4S per cent. The profitable
results are due largely to the fact that
such sire gradually improves an en-
tire herd or flock. Especially in the
case of poultry and hogs, which mul.
tiply rapidly, a few animals of pure
breeding may in a few years become
the ancestors of hundreds of pure
breds.
Men change their ways of doing
things for various reasons. The farm
