cost of producing dockage vas $271.32.
The spring wheat acreage for 1922
was Is, 639, 900 acres On the basis of
$3.50 for the dockage share OF the
cost per acre, spring wheat growers
expended $31, sos, $1,000 to produce the
dockage crop.
Consider in addition the wastage in
hauling this dockage to market, the
deductions at the local elevators and
the freight to terminal elevators. The
sum annually wasted is enormous.
Much Of this wastage can be pre-
vented by:
1. Sowing seed that has been pro-
perly cleaned.
2. Frequent blowing of land, thus
preparing a better seed bed.
8. Controlling weeds on the farm.
Cleaning Machinery
Threshing machines can now, for a
very moderate cost, be provided with a
disc recleaner which separates the
dockage from the grain while being
put through the threshing machine.
This is the cheapest place to remove
dockage. Farmers should expect to
pay the threshermen a reasonable fee
for removing dockage. else the ma
chinemen will not equip their machin-
cry with this convenience and real
necessity.

NASH'S POULTRY BRINGS
HIM BIG SUM; POULTRY
SHOW COMING SOON

Ralph G. Nash, of Spring Creek
Mesa, has a flock of 100 White Leg
horn hens. From January l, 1923. to
November l, 1898, a period of ten
months, Mr.. Nash's total grocery bill
was s163.97. There are three grown
ups in the family and there were hay
crews, threshers and potato diggers to
feed. The garden, the cows and the
hens, supplemented by $163.97 fed
them all. And in the same 10 months
period Mr.. Nash sold eggs to the
amount of $211.75-just common eggs
at market prices. Think it over!
Mr.. Nash has a complete years re-
cord on his flock showing that his
hens paid him four cents a pound for
all the grain he served them and
81 a head net above that price. In
this connection, take note that there
is to be a poultry show in Delta, Jan.
3, 4, and 5, at which time the State

tell us how to beat Mr.. Nash's record
Premium lists are in the hands of
