Some Crops Marketed
Earlier Than Others
Figures Gathered by De-
partment Workers.

prepared by the United States Departmeat
OF Agricuiture,l
A difference in the rapidity with
which leading farm grain crops are
marketed is shown by studies conduct
ed by the bureau of agricultural eco
romics Of the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture. Statistics on the
monthly marketings by farmers over a
iye-year period, l9l7-l922, show that,
while there is considerable variation in
marketing activity from month to
month. the ive-year average is fairly
representative OF the market condi-
tons each season.
According to the figures gathered by
Departments workers and volunteer crop
reporters stationed in the grain mar
kets of the country, 62.1 per cent OF
the marketable amount of the wheat
crop moves during the four months of
July, August, September and October,
while only 1913 per cent of the oats
crop marketed during the year moves
during the same months. Similar fig
ures gathered for the four peak mar
htl llOulllS lOT the vii Nlbp' hohi'isf
December, January, February and
March, show that 4T.2 per cent moves
while the rest is marketed gradually
through the remaining months of the
year. The significant fact, in interpret
ing these figures, is, however, that
while nearly all wheat is sold except
that needed for seed, only n small part
OF the corn and oat crops actually
leave the farm.
The department has no figures to
show the monthly marketing by farm
ers Of buckwheat, rice, the grain
%sorghums, and kafir, but a study of the
market figures for barley over the five
year period shows that 5l.9 per cent
Of the annual market crop Is sole dur
ing the first four months after harvest.
Unlike the other crops, the peak mar
ket months for faxseed are September,
October and November. An average
of 59.2 per cent of the crop is sold dur
ing these three months, while 81 per

Way to Progress Is by
Use of Better Animals

The success attained N Tie DullulhS
up OF a herd of grade or Of pure bred
animals will depend largely upon the
care and understanding used IN the
selection of herd sires, say New YORK
dalrymen who have made A consplcu-
Gus success in improving their diaries.
The state college of agriculture at
Ithaca backs this up by saying the
average man must depend upon the
law that like produces like" and Sc
lect animals for breeding purposes
that have the physical and producing
characters desired in the offspring.
Were 1t possible always TO use
proved sires, or sires with daughters
Of producing age, little chance would
be taken in their selection. Unfortu-
nately too few proved sires are avail
able and most men must select d
younger, less expensive, and untried
bull. In this selection, individuality
and pedigree should be considered.
Since there Is a relation between the
size and conformation of an animal
and It's ability to produce satisfactory
physical development and type must
be insisted upon.
A bull OF good individuality and de-
velopment whose female and male an
cestors in the neal two or three gen
eratlons have made or have trans
mitted uniformly good productions,
averaging well above that Of the herd
to be improved, should be selected.
For grading, 1t would seem wise to
require that the females in a sire's
ancestry should have at least shown
sufficient ability to qualify for ad-
vanced registry. Such a bull will
usually transmit to his offspring the
producing ability so common to his
ancestors.
Young and improved bulls Of excel
lent breeding may be purchased at
H-'"as below their actual value.

educational booth where the different
types Of corn will be on exhibition.
This display is being arranged by a
committee of agronomiSts who will
submit samples of the types of corn
they consider the most satisfactory for
farmers to plant in their respective
territories. The country IS divided into
six regions and the experts have been
holding meetings in their sections dur
ing the summer and will have a final
show. These state representatives are

the display arranged by this committee
will tend TO unity the types and will
bring the adherents of the various
styles closer together so that q stand

In the open classes Of the grain and

nearly three thousand samples entered
by the champion corn ralsers Of the
entire country. Cash prizes amounting
to considerably over $4,000 for corn

Experts Advocate Extremes.

Recently the discussion among corn
experts reached such a point that the
adherents of each type have tended TO
differ uJre and more and advocate eX-
tremes. In order to be impartial the
Illinois state fair offered a separate
classification for each type with DIFF
ferent judges and the winners were
not compared officially. The accom-
panying pictures show the ear sam
pies that were awarded first prize In
each division. The points On which
they vary are well brought out and can
be easily compared by anyone familiar
with seed corn. 1t is interesting to
note that some farmers entered sam
pies in both divisions produced on the
same farm in different fields and won
high honors in both competitions.
