News Briefs
With establishment of a co-opera-
tive commission firm completed at
the second terminal market, of i'm
portance to them, Ohio livestock
producers are rapidly making plans
for opening co-operatives under the
farmer direction and ownership at
Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. Live
stock men of the state have already
been instrumental in establishing
firms on the Buffalo and Cleveland

Forty percent more hogs were
sent to market this April than in
April a year ago, and there was 30
percent increase in hogs marketed
during that month, as compared to
the April average for five years
back. Moreover, there is now IN
storage 81 percent more pork than
there was a year ago. These facts,
which rural economists of Q. 5. U.
gather, lead them to the opinion
that the present hos situation is one
which it will pay every farmer TO
study thoroughly.
Arrangements for distribution or
certified seed wheat of improved
varieties which will be harvested IN
Ohio are expected to be made at the
meeting of a special committee in
Columbus, June II. The committee
will represent the Ohio Seed I'M
provement association, o. S. o., and
the service branch of the Ohio farm
bureau federation. The use OF seed
wheat of improved varieties has
grown steadily in Ohio during the
past three years, since these yar1e-
ties, such as Trumbull, GLADDEN..
Portage and others prove superior
from both the farmers and the
millers' standpoints.
The annual poultry meeting at
Ohio Agr. EXP. Station will be held
June 21, the day before Wheatfield
day, so that persons who wish may
attend both events.

Now that eggs are cheapest is the
time to put down supply in water
glass for next winter. Use five
gallon stone jar, putting into it
something less than three gallons OF
the solution, a quart of water-glass
that has been boiled with nine

home economists at o. S. U.
Sam Says: "A man can't be a real
good farmer without being good
father. The best stock on the farm
isn't in the barn"
