Interesting Figures on
Agricultural Products

The farmer still has use for the null
duplication table, despite the ups and
downs in the agricultural situation,
according to some figures just issued
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture. For example, the out
put of skim milk powder has doubled
in the last five years; the number of
cow-testing associations has been
doubled in the last six years; the
quantity of ice cream produced has
doubled in the last twelve years; and
creamery butter in fifteen years. If
whole-milk production continues at the
same rate as during the last five years,
1t will double in twenty-three and a
half years and pure bred cattle, If
they continue to- increase as in the
last two decades, will double in thirty
years. The population of the United
States comes next, having doubled in
the last thirty-nine years; the number
of milk cows on farms has doubled
in the last forty-four years; factory
cheese production has doubled in for
ty-six years; and the average yield Of
milk per COW, if continued as in the
last five years, will double in sixty
years

MODERN POULTRY
PLANT AT TECH

A modern poultry plant is one OF
the latest additions to the agricul-
tural equipment of the Idaho Tech
at Pocatello. This plant, which is in
process of construction has a 1000
hen capacity, complete with incubator
cellars. It is situated on well-drain-
ed high ground and at the mouth of
a canyon, where air-drainage is as
sured. The plant is being built some
distance from the road so birds will
not be disturbed by traffic.
Carefully selected stock, trap-nes-
ted and selected for size of eggs, con-
formation, is being secured from the
best breeders of eggs locally and US
ing them for Matching purposes, high
class day-old chicks will be sold. :.
good demand should be found for
young chicks because of the large
numbers that have been regularly i'm
ported into Southern Idaho from Cal
ifornia and other outside points.

DO WE WANT TO BE SOVIETED?

Among those present at the nearly
100000 executions by the Soviet
government of Russia in about three
years were over $4,000 farmers. They
head the death roll, which runs the
entire list of agriculture, Industrial,
commercial, educational, professional
and even religious life-for there
were SO ministers of the gospel so
killed.
The Russian Soviet money is so
cheap one can get bale of it for a
few American dollars. It's as easy as
the easiest mark of Germany.
Russia, under Soviet rule, became
notable chiefly for cheap lives, and
cheap money. 1t seems to constitute
a most horrible example-and still
there are those in this country who
would have the system fastened upon
the United States.
Sovietism has struck at the founda-
ton of Christianity and at the founda-
alton of substantial material advance
ment.
Adecadent Christianity and an in
flated currency spell chaos and ruin.
The U. S. A. will hardly be influenced
to travel that road.
