Building permits issued throughout
the United States during the first half
of 1923 were 36.5 per cent ahead or
the same period in 1922. Permits IS
sued in June this year, however, were
only 2.3 per cent ahead of the volume
issued in June, 1922, and were 10 per
cent less than in May of this year.
These figures, which indicate
slowing up of building activities as
compared with the unprecedented de-
velopments of the earlier months or
the year, are based on official returns
made to S. W. Straus & Co. from 225
principal cities and towns.

Utilizing Waste Roughage
for Bedding Material

On every farm there is large
amount of roughage which is not fit
to feed live stock. Sometimes this
is in the form of weeds or broom
sage; sometimes it is damaged hay or
straw. Frequently this material is ig~
nored or thrown in some place where
it can never be made use Of
This sort of material makes excel
lent bedding for all classes of live
stock, says Prof. L. V. Sarkey, chief
of the animal husbandry division, in
discussing the best usages of waste
roughages II absorbs the liquid
manure and, when hauled on the
fields, adds to the organic matter in
the soil. When we take into consid-
GRAFTON the fact that more than half
the value of manure is in the liquid
form, we can easily see how impor-
tant it is to save the liquid and thus
increase the fertility of the soil.

dig a trench two spades deep from

Proper Sowing Of Wheat
Will Kill Hessian Fly

Wheat SOWn too soon serves as fall
pasture for the Hessian fly, one Of
the crops worst enemies, and enables
the pest to live over and cut down the
wheat crop of the following season.
On the other hand, by delaying sow
ing until after the, Fly free" dates, an
nounced locally by county agricultural
agents, farmers can break the life cy-
Gle Of Hessian fly and rid their wheat
crop of the pest. the year following.
This is because the fly has two life
cycles a year. Each cycle, il COM
pleted, has four stages. To cut into
the succession at any point breaks up
the whole business. From eggs laid
on the leaves maggots hatch. These
maggots feed on wheat stalks near the
base of the leaves, sucking juice that
should go to make grain, and dam
aging the stalk so that it breaks and
lodges easily. This done, the maggots
go into puparia or faxseed form
that lives on in the soil.
Thus, by concerted late sowing Of
this crop a county can smash by
starvation that fall brood of fly. And
without a fall brood there can be no
spring brood. But one or two fields
of early-seeded wheat can infect a
whole locality.

Rat-Proofing Interest
Is Aroused in Oregon

The effect of anti-rat campaigns in
Oregon has been notable in the con-
tinued interest taken in rat-preven-
ton and rat-proofing measures. One
of the largest owners of real estate
in the public market of Portland was
so favorably impressed with the work
done last year under the leadership
of the biological survey, United States
Department of Agriculture, in destroy
ing rats and in establishing rat-proof
conditions that he has torn out the
entire interior of two of the largest
buildings and is finishing them wholly
with concrete with a view to making
them completely rat-proof.
In Little Rock, Ark, as result of
the anti-rat campaign which was
launched there, steps were taken for
the Inauguration of a general clean
up campaign in the city and for the
establishment of mere satisfactory
ordinances governing the construction
and repair Of buildings, the disposal
of garbage and the, screening of food
products.

BADGERS PRAISED
FOR CROP SYSTEM
Single Crop Farming Blamed for
Many Of the Present
Day Ills.

The course followed by Wisconsin
farmers in abandoning single crop
farming is called to the attention of
producers in other states by Rollin E.
Smith in current issue Of one of the
Eastern magazines.
"Iowa might proftably follow the
course Of wheat production in Wiscon-
SIM" says Smith. The latter state in
it's early agricultural history like
every western state, turned to grain
production.
From 1866 to 1869 Wisconsin, ac-
cording to Smiths report, produced
100000 to 100000 bushels, and
the crop was above 100000 until
1884. A steady decline followed, with
diversified farming and dairying sue
ceeding wheat, until the average pro-
duction dropped to 100000 bushels in
the 1909-13 period.
"There has been steady increase in
corn production in Wisconsin" declares
Smith. I'm the 1909-13 period Wis
consin produced an annual average
corn crop OF 100000 bushels; but
our interest does not stop with the
growing of the crop. Almost the en-
fire crop was conJumed within the
state. Only 8 per cent of the corn was

Handling Of Hogs
Causes Big Loss
Annual Waste That Is I'm
necessary and Most of It
Due to Carelessness.

prepared by the Unit I'd States Department
of Agr1culture.)
Loss through injury to hogs in ship
ment to market is an important item
affecting the profits Of the farmer and
shipper. During the past year in a pc
Rod of six months there were received
at nine of the principal stock yards OF
the country a total of 28,375 dead hogs
and 38,708 in more or less crippled
condition, according to reports re-
ceived by the United States Depart
nent of. Agriculture. These figures
indicate clearly waste that is large
ly unnecessary, most of which can be
att lbuted to carelessness on the part
of those handling the animals at the
points Of origin of shipments:
Do Not Hurry Hogs.
Aside from the wrecks and extreme
weather conditions, there seems to be
no logical reason for so many hogs dy-
ing between points of origin and des-
tination. Much fault in this respect
is attributed to improper handling OF
swine just prior to shipment. Quite
often hogs about to be shipped are
rushed to some small inclosure,
penned up in a crowded way, and fed
a very heavy ration preparatory to
being hauled or driven to a stock car.
In getting them to loading point
FREQUENTLY the animals are prodded,
kicked, and hurried until worried into
a highly nervous condition. Such
hogs are often loaded in cars contain
ing sharp pieces of broken timber,
nails sticking out of boards, and in
whick the flooring is covered with mud
and rubbish, no precautfon being taken
to remedy these dangerous conditions.
Often no bedding of any kind is pro-
vided. Under such circumstances
many of the animals reach~the yards
badly crippled, the injuries commonly
involving the hind quarters, resulting
in lowered quality of the most valua-
BILE cuts-the hams.
Avoid crowding Animals.
When ready for market, nogs should
be assembled a sufficient length of
time prior to the date of shipment to
diIOW IuOm To U0COu0 I0SICu. 4AOy
should not be crowded into small pens
or houses nor fed heavy rations. If
they are driven to the loading point
they should not be rushed on the
way; If they are hauled too many hogs
should not be crowded into the truck
or wagon. The loading chutes should
not be too steep, should be made Sc
cure and should have the sides pro-
tected so that the animals will not
fall off. Crowding too many hogs in
a car, particularly in hot weather, is
likely to result in number of them
dying in transit. Loading hogs after
a heavy feed is injurious to them. A
little hunger is far better for them on
the journey than Indigestion. There
is nothing to be gained in added
weight of the animals by forced feed
ing just before shipping. The aim
should be to get as many hogs as pos
sible to the stock yards in good con-
dition.

STUNNING HEADGEAR
FROM 1923 DISCARDS
Club Leader Tells How to
Lengthen the Life Span
of Hats.

That one of the best ways to stretch
the much-shrunken dollar is to sal
wage partly worn wearing apparel is
the claim made by Mildred Hagerty,
Wisconsin's girls club leader. She is
telling girls throughout the state that
it is easy to freshen up old winter
hats which otherwise might be dis
carded and she Is showing them ways
to do it.
Following are some of the helpful
suggestions being made by Miss
Hagerty:
soft felt hats can be cleaned by
washing in mixture of one table
spoonful Of household ammonia and
two tablespoonful Of borax to every
gallon Of water. Mix the ammonia,
borax, and about one tablespoonful Of
soap jelly with the water when quite
hot, but let cool until lukewarm be-
fore using. Rinse in water of the
same temperature.
For white felt hats which cannot
be washed, use white, powdered mag
nesia. This is sprinkled on the hat

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The fact that there are more than
100000 members of boys and girls
agricultural clubs in the United
States does not prevent Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace from taking a
keen personal interest in what many
of these youngsters are doing with
their calves, pigs, chickens, gardens,
and in canning and other home
work. The secretary writes many
letters to club members who have
done particularly good work, and in
return he receives many letters with
details of the work they are doing
and invitations to "come on out and
look over our stock"
Secretary Receives Letter.
Recently the secretary wrote a con-
gratulatory letter to two Iowa club
boys who had been successful with

Club Work Was Started
in Oklahoma in 1909

Fifty boys were pioneers in Okla
homa in the boys and girls club
work carried on by cooperative agri-
cultural extension agents, these boys
joining corn clubs in 1909 to learn
new and improved methods of produc-
ton. Now Oklahoma has more than
$4,000 of these young farmers and
home makers, according to reports to
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, and in their club work they
are carrying on some $1,000 demon
STATIONS in crop, vegetable, and fruit
growing, live stock production, cam
ming, sewing, food preservation, and
home management. These figures and
other interesting facts regarding club
work in that state were made the
basis of a pageant shown at short
course given in August at the state
agricultural college, in which scenes
portraying the main club activities
were followed in each case by lantern
slides giving information about that
line Of work.
