MELLETTE COUNTY IN OCTOBER

Here it is the third day of October,
1923, when this is being written and
as vet we have had no killing frost in
this section of Mellette county.
Strange as 1t may seem to some we
can go into our back yard and pick
roses in full bloom, hollyhocks, petun-
las and other flowers-we can go to
our garden and pick a nice mess OF
green peas, others can pick nice ripe
strawberries, and still others can 90
into their gardens and pick nice green
corn for dinner, and there are any
number of other vegetables that can
be gathered right in the gardens of
Mellette county today. The days are
warm and the nights are cool, water
melons and cantaloupe are abundant
and of prime quality. The small grain
crop was bumper and it has prac-
tically all been threshed and stored
in the granary, the corn crop is big
one and it is all matured and good,
sound corn beyond the danger of any
injury by frost, the hay crop was a
bounteous one, and with the one ex-
ception of the outbreak Of anthrax
among the cattle and the cholera
among the hogs Of the county, the
Mellctte county farmer certainly had
nothing to complain Of this year.
Even California hasn't anything on
Us for real ideal weather, and none
of the other states as far as crops
are concerned.

Threshing Alfalfa Seed

Farmers have been threshing alfal-
ia seed in this immediate vic Unity
the past week. G. A. Brown, on the
Banker ranch threshed out about 30
bushels of prime seed, and Kenneth
Mellott got about 25 bushels. J The
seed is of very fine quality tn is sea-
son, but the yield per acre is not
quite as large as it has BEEN other
years, being On an average alb out one
and onc-half bushels per acre, which
will give the grower money return
per acre for seed alone that would
buy an additional acre of just as good
alfalfa land, or in other words the
seed crop even this year would lnore
than pay for the original east of the
land upon which the alfalfa is Iow-
ing The alfalfa seed threshing sea-
son will not be completed For Morne
time, and there will be several hund-
rod hnshelS of this yalr1ablfa- Sond $50

has been sadly neglected this past

task Of cleaning up the park. Scout

ments this year, and next season it
will be made into an attractive and
inviting camp ground for the tourist

TEXAS DUROC-JERSEYS
BREAK ALL RECORDS

With an official weight Of 389S12
pounds for litter of twelve Duroc-
Jersey pigs, Texas new holds the
world S record for tonnage OF pork
produced by one SOW and for aver
age weight per pig in six months time
The litter was weighed September l.,
when $50 DAYS old, under the super
vision OF A. l.. Ward, swine special
ist Of Texas a. & NJ. college and Off
cials of the McLennan county farm
bureau. The pigs averaged 324.9
pounds per head and made a daily
gain of Is pounds for the whole
feeding period. The last twenty days
the daily gain was 312 pounds for
each pig.
This champion litter was bred and
raised bv Vic Hill of Chalk Bluff,
McLennan county, Texas. The dam
of the litter is Scots Lucy, l39627S,
a registered Duroc-J ersey SOW that
was sired by the grand champion boar
of the 1919 Texas state fair. There
were fourteen pigs in the litter which
was farrowed March 5. Twelve pigs
were raised. The SOW was three
weeks less than three wears old when
the contest ended
The total value of feed including
pasture necessary to produce the lit
ter was $22a.S4. making the cost of
each hundred pounds $3.50. The pigs
will be sold for breeding stock but
as they are worth 912 cents a pound
on the market the dav weighed, they
made a net profit of $l40.51. The lit.
ter consumed 1896 pounds of skim
milk. 5240 pounds of corn feed meal =,
2l00 pounds of pig chow and 200
pounds of corn They had the run Of
an eighteen acre Bermuda grass pas
turc with shade and water.
In order to be correct and certain
on every point the litter was ear
marked when seven day sold by county
agent E. K. Eudaly in the presence
Of the president of the local county
Livestock association. The scales used
to weigh the litter were tested and
sealed by the Waco city inspector of
weights and measures. Mr.. Eudaly
supervised the care and feeding of the
litter during the entire test. Mr. Hill
received $4,000 in cash prizes which
were offered bv the National Duroc-
Record association of Peoria, Illinois,
and Waco business houses.

Suggestions for Improving
The Quality of Eggs

South Dakota egg producers have
been sustaining quite loss from
poor quality or badly handled eggs.
The first consideration Of every pro-
gressive poultryman in the state
should be to locate an outlet where
payment will be made for his product
in proportion to the quality.
Here are suggestions which, if fol-
lowed out. will result in the prOduc-
tion of higher quality of eggs:
!. Do not keep mongrel hens.
.. Do not allow nests to become
filthy.
3. Separate the laying hens from
the setting hens.
4. Gather the eggs at least every
day, better tsSe day in very hot
weather.
5. Keep eggs in dry, cool, well
ventilated place.
g Never wash eggs, as it spoils
their keeping qualities.
Z. Market eggs twice week in
hot weather, if possible.
8. Do not sell eggs case count.
but insist that your eggs be candled
and paid for according to quality.
Q. Do not market small, inferior or
dirty eggs.
10 Separate tire male birds from
the flock as soon as the Matching sea-
son is over. (In warm weather a
fertile egg will spoil in less than half
the time it will take for an infertile

More Good Corn

Chas. Eaton, who lives about six
miles northeast of Wood, brought us
some more samples of big corn of the
yellow dent variety and he says he
has about eighty-five acres of corn
lust like it. He husked few rows
of the corn last week and he estimates
that the corn will yield about 45
bushels per acre. 1t is fully matured
and the ears that are on exhibit in
our office weigh about one and one
fourth pounds each, measure between
ten and eleven inches in length and
have something like 1000 kernels to
the ear. 1t is corn that will compare
favorably with any corn raised in
Iowa or Nebraska. The corn crop in
Mellette county this year is bumper
one and the yield and the quality are
unsurpassed. If you have any real
big ears of corn tbe Pioneer would
appreciate a sample ear to put on er.
hibition in our office, so that we may
show the visitors who drop into our
Office from time to time that come
from the big corn producing sections
that this is just as good corn pro-
ducing country as they can find any
where.
