Machines Waste
Valuable Grain
Loss of Time and Money
Prevented by Good
Care of Thresher.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
If q man In New York were to buy
q ticket for San Francisco and then
walk to Chicago before boarding the
train you would think him foolish In
deed. Yet, is not the farmer who
plows his fields and sows his grain,
cares for 1t through the long summer
and carefully harvests the crops, only,
upon threshing the bundles of loaded
grain, to blow large part of it over
into the straw pile. liable to the same
accusation? Inefficient operation of
threshing machines Is responsible for
a great many bushels Of wasted grain,
says the United States Department Of
Agriculture.
Time and Grain Lost.
ANY standard threshing machine
will do it's work with very little waste
of grain or loss of time, IL kept in
good condition, adjusted properly for
the particular job on which it Is en-
gagged, furnished with the proper
amount of power applied correctly
and watched intelligently while in OPP
Grafton. Nevertheless, it Is true that
a great amount of time Is lost and
large amount Of grain wasted unneces-
sarily in threshirg.
All thresher manufacturers have
endeavored to make their machines
as efficient as possible and the con-
struction such that they will give a
minimum of trouble. However, there
are so many parts to a threshing ma
chine, and it must work under such
wide range of conditions, that numer-
Gus adjustments must be left for the
operator to make In the field, and
careful attention is required for Its
successful operation.
If a machine fails to separate all of
the grain from the straw 1t is usually
due to one or more of the following
causes: ID The machine Is not being
run at its proper speed, (2) the cylin-
der fails to thresh all of the kernels
out of the heads, (3) the separating
mechanism Is not level, or (4) the
blast is not adjusted properly.
Crop Owner Interested.
Naturally the thresherman Is not so
vitality concerned in getting every
bushel of grain from the straw as Is
the crop owner, because 1t only means
two or three cents to him for each
bushel saved, whereas to the crop
owner 1t means the price Of the en-
tire bushel, a matter of 30 or go cents,
or more, depending upon the kind of
grain being threshed and the price Of
1t on the market. The crop owner,
therefore, should be versed in the op-
GRAFTON of the machine and at least
know whether the separator man has
his machine adjusted for the most eff
ficient results possible.
Farmers Bulletin 991, issued by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, has been written for the infor-
nation Of farmers who have grain
threshing to do, and discusses the
various points to watch in the efficient
operation of the threshing machine. A
copy may be secured, as long as the
supply lasts, by writing to the United
States Department of Agriculture,

Township Adopts Novel
Plan to Improve Stock

A novel method of improving the
live stock of Mount Hope township In
the state of Washington is being intro
duced by the newly organized better
stock association. The plan of the or
ganization as reported to the United
States Department of Agriculture by
E. D. Metcalf is to limit the farm ami
mails in the township to one breed for
each class of live stock.
Belgian horses, Guernsey cows and
Duroc-Jersey swine are the breeds that
have been selected. 1t is further
planned that only pure bred sires be
used in the community, and that be-
fore the end of year each member
Of the association will have at least
one registered animal Of one of the
breeds chosen by the organization.

ALFALFA Is MAKING
GOOD IN WISCONSIN
Has Proved a Dependable
Crop and Has Paid Well
in Trials in the North.

Are we realizing results from our
county fairs proportionate with the
investment of time and money?
What value do we place on the re-
suits Of these demonstrations and ex-
hibitions?"
Fairs in Wisconsin offer about a
million and half dollars in premiums
each year. In addition there Is more
than a million and half dollars in
vested in buildings and grounds.
When we think of the many uses to
which this money could be put, we
should ask ourselves these questions,
declares A. W. Hopkins Of the Wis
consin college of agriculture.
Influence Works Slowly.
"Not even the most enthusiastic"
Hopkins says, would contend that
the results Of these annual EXPOSE
lions, when properly conducted, are
directly or Immediately apparent.
Rather their influence is exerted over
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1924-08-07

tain fairs more enjoyable for men and
women alike.
Among the contributions to the bet
terment Of American agriculture which
the county fair Is making, Hopkins
gives high place to its encourage
ment Of boys and girls In project and
club work. There Is no doubt" he
says, ''as to the tremendous value Of
training our boys and girls SO that
they will be prepared to take up their
future duties along more progressive
and scientific lines"
County and other fairs have had
great influence in bringing about the
almost unbelievable strides that have
been made in live stock production in
recent years, according to Hopkins.
AS the county fair Is close to the
great mass Of farmers 1t may surpass
the larger fairs in direct influence.
Show Ring Is Great Educator.
''The show ring competition pro-
vides one of the greatest educational
features Of the modern county fair"
he states, mot only to the partici-
pants but to the onlookers as well.
In the show ring is given stimulus
for competitors to excel in the pro-
duction of live stock. AS far as fit
ting the animals Is concerned, 1t i'm
presses the necessity Of proper care
and management previous to show
ing"

out in the show ring of the county

Feather Picking Caused
bv Lack of Ingredient

Feather picking is generally caused
by a lack of some ingredient In the
ration which is necessary to the hen.
For one thing, they may lack animal
food, such as meat, and 1t is a good
plan in this case to put hopper Of
high-grade beef scraps before the
hens and keep 1t there. In case this
doesn't do the work 1t will be neces-
sary to buy fresh meat daily and feed
them a limited amount. The best
method Of feeding is to hang on
string or wire just about as high as
the hens head, possibly half an inch
higher.

Killing Out BLUEGRASS

Cultivating alfalfa after the second
crop is taken off in order to kill blue
grass will be found the most satisfac-
tory practice. At this time the soil is
art to be dry and it is easier to kill
the bluegrass. Cultivation comes at a
time when 1t will be a big help in
conserving soil moisture. Some farm
ers cultivate their alfalfa fields early
In the spring, using a disk or a har-
row, and follow each cutting by cul-
tivatson. Often this is necessary If
the bluegrass Is not killed out by the
spring cultivation.

fair through public judging and the
explanations given by the judges for
their placings. The competitors and
onlookers as we'll are educated as to
what is the best type of the various
classes and breeds of live stock"
Seed grain growers also benefit,
Hopkins says, as the attention of the
farmers is directed to the require
ments of good grain. The housewife
is not left out The babies come In
for attention through the Health and
Better Babies Shows" There is
something for every one at the well
conducted fair.
But, Hopkins emphasizes, in asking
whether they pay or not, each one
must feel the responsibility on his own
shoulders. The county fair is chal-
lenge to each one to come out and
help make It a paying investment and
an inspiration to all.

widespread interest in the "Califor-
mia plan" of cooperative marketing
makes especially timely Department
Bulletin 1887, Organization and De-
velopment of q Cooperative Citrus
Fruit Marketing Agency, just issued
by the United States Department OF
Agriculture. In 1891, when shipments
were a little more than 1000 cars,
there was an apparent overproduction
of California citrus fruit. Thirty years
later a crop totaling more than $4,000
cars was marketed successfully. Bull
letin 1887 describes the growth OF the
system of cooperative marketing that
since 1898 has taken leading part In
the development of the California cit
rus industry. 1t outlines, also, the
steps by which local associations and
district exchanges became federated In
the California Fruit Growers ex-
change.
Historical Account.
A brief historical account is present
ed of the California citrus industry
since the Introduction of orange trees
by the Franciscan monks In 1863. The
conditions causing the practical bank
ruptcy of the industry in the early
nineties, and the unfortunate alliance
of the exchange with commercial ship
pers in 10000 are other topics dis
cussed In the historical section of the
bulletin.
Considerable space is given to dis
cussion of the organization and opera
ton of the local units that make up
the exchange.
''Local cooperative associations are
the foundation of the exchange sys-
tenn" it is stated. 1.-THE earliest or
ganizations of this kind preceded the
Incorporation Of the exchange by al
most three years. They were created
by the members Of community who
considered their marketing problems
as being, first OF all, local in char
acter."
The organization and functions of
the district exchanges and the various
departments of the California Fruit
Growers exchange are discussed In
detail.
other Organizations.
An organization for the purchase of
supplies and two by-products compa-
mics have been established by the fed
Grated associations. These organiza-
lions are not subsidiary to the Califor-
mia Fruit Growers exchange but are
units of the exchange system. The
problems leading up to the organiza-
ton Of these companies, and the serv-
ices they perform for the members Of
the exchange, make up one section of
the bulletin.
Several pages are devoted to dis
cussion Of the economic services Of the
exchange, and the fundamental prin-
ciples upon which the organization Is
based. The appendix contains the
original organization and marketing
plan adopted in 1893, the bylaws Of
the exchange and contracts in force
between the growers and their asso-
Citations, the associations and the dis
trict exchanges and the district ex-
changes and the exchange.

Early Matched pullets should not be-
forced to quick maturity by heavy
feeding of mash, lest they begin lay
ing prematurely and go into winter

Spray for Potato Beetle

The Colorado potato beetle is con-
trolled by spraying with pounds of
powdered arsenate of lead to so gaI-

put on when the insects first appear.
The various worms that feed on the
leaves of cabbage can also be con-
trolled by this spray.
