HOG RAISERS SHOULD
Low UP BARN LOT

Hog raisers may accomplish two
desirable results by blowing up the
barn lots at least once a year, says
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. In the first place, hogs
need good s~ucculent pasture as much
Of the time as possible, and in the
second place they need protection
against internal parasites, such as
roundworms, the eggs of which re-
main in the soil. Turning over the
soil in the lots helps to get rid of
these pests and the crop of forage
makes it a profitable operation. In
addition to providing cheap protein
food, pasture crops aid as a laxative
and require the hogs to take a GER
tain amount of exercise which is nee.
essary to breeding animals and grow
ing pigs.
Rye is probably the best crop tx
use for fall, winter and spring pas
ture for hogs. Throughout the corr
belt it may be sown from August q
to about October l., depending on th'
latitude. In warmer climates TIT
crop may be put In at various times
up as late as December. By putting
in successive paintings from 2 to
weeks apart, it is possible to hav'
fresh pasture ali the time. Seeding
for pasture should be much heavie
than for a grain crop. from 3 TO
bssshaIs per acre on good soil. Pas

CULLING POULTRY TO
INCREASE THE LAYING

That culling the poultry flock to
get rid of all those birds except the
vigorous, prolific layers results in
noticeable improvement in the pro-
geny is shown by recent investiga-
tons at the United States Expert
ment Farm, Beltsville, Md. The late
moulters selected from a flock of 100
Rhode Island Reds in the fall of 1920
laid seven more eggs per bird during
their second year than the original
flock as pullets. They were used as
breeders the following spring, and the
first Red pullets to commence laying
in the fall of 1921 were found to be
the offspring of these l~ate-moulting
hens. Their pullets in a period of
seven months have already averaged
about two dozen eggs per bird more
than the original flock.
But it is not alone in number of
eggs that the late-moulter's progeny
excel, but also in the value of the
product, as the distribution was more
even, a much larger proportion eff the
eggs being laid during tie winter
months. In the last seven months
the daughters of the late moulters rot
only averaged two dozen eggs per
bird more than the original flock, but
the value of their products was, fig
uring at the same price during the
same period. 1t is expected that this
margin will increase during the next
five months.

CORN BELT FARMER
MARKETS SOY bean

The soy bean is rapidly taking a
place as a major crop in the farm
ing systems of the corn belR re-
placing oats to a considerable extent
and taking part of the corn acreage.
Although primarily used for forage,
pasture, and ensilage, the growing
exceeds the demands for planting.
County soy-bean associations, grow
ers, county agents, and extension Off
Gals, notably in Illinois and Indiana,
have concerned themselves in the &C.
velopment of a commercial outlet of
the seed. As a result, the production
of oil and meal from Corn Belt
grown soy beans seems to be definite
ly assured for the season of 1922.
Several mills in Indiana and Illinois
have become interested in the posi-
bilities of the soy bean as a source
of oil and meal. Two mills in Illinois
have planned to use about ESQ, 900
bushels this season., while other mills
are planning on a smaller scole.
Although defnate figures are not
available on the acreage of soy beans
in the various states, reports to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture indicate very large increases in
acreage for seed production and for
age purposes throughout the Mort
ern and Corn Belt States The posi-
bilities of utilizing domestic grown
beans for oil and meal no doubt had
much to- do with the large increase
in acreage for seed. Such a coramer-
cial outlet affords the grower an
other cash crop as corr and wheat.
The various ways in which the soy
bean and its products are utilized in
the United States indicates a ready
market for the commercial produc.
ton of soy bean seed. Soy-bean oil
is largely used in the manufacture O.
soaps and paints, and it is also useC
in the manufacture of lard and buttel
substitutes, rubber substitutes, limo
leum, printing ink, and as a salad oil
The cake or meal is a superior cattl
feed and of high value for human
consumption.

SHORTAGE Of LABOR
WITH STRIKE OVER

According to figures of the Depart
ment of Labor, the United States
may shortly face a labor shortage,
it's unemployment problem complete
Iy solved
Director Jones of the Employment
Service, declares the country is
steadily but surely forging it's way
toward a period of industrial pros
perity in which it is possible that the
labor supply will not equal the de-
mand." Optimism, he believes, per
vades every industry in every part of
the country.
Economists of the Nations Capital
sound a note of caution to those to
whom any optimistic statement is
taken at its face value rather than for
its real meaning. They point out
that a labor shortage does not neses-
sarily mean that every in the country
has a job, but that there are jobs
enough if every man without a job
could get to it. No country, at any
time in history, has eve succeeded in
effecting such perfect distribution of
labor that all jobs were always filled
without their being any jobs or men
left over. Thus at the present time
there are States with a crying need
for farm hands. There are industries
with a forceful demand for skilled la
borers which can not be found and
trades with skilled laborers who can
not find work. 1t is fundamental and
countrywide conditions which the De-
partment of Labor considers, and in
summarizing the decrease in unem-
ployment and the coming labor short
age in certain lines, it shows only a
national aspect of grove questions,
Local conditions may contradict ma
tional one in certain places without
prejudice to the accuracy of the sta
tistice as a whole.
With practically every industry in
, the country taking on more men, anC
with Wall Street and the banking in
terests registering optimism, it is no
! difficult to read into predictions o
! labor shortage a comforting assuranc,
: of a coming solid and pre-war norma
1 prosperity. Such, at least, is tn
mature judgment of impartial Gov
