THE CALL OF THE HOME
(By Miles Cannon, Director of Farm
Economics, U. S. Bureau of
Reclamation

Economics, U. S. Bureau of
Reclamation
In our last article we referred TO the
demand for spring lambs and it is now
our purpose to offer a concrete ex-
ample of what can be done on a small
unit
| Scott Brothers, whose post office ad-
dress is Delta, Colorado, occupy a unit
of the Uncompahgre Valley project.
They bought two cars of lambs during
the fall of 1928 and ran them on sugar
beet top pasture as the principal feed,
although there was. in addition, some
corn fodder and alfalfa pasture avail.
able.
The extent of the grazing ground
was regulated each day SO as not to
permit any of the beet tops to be
wasted. Toward the end of the feed.
ing period the lambs were topped off
with little alfalfa hay and some corn.
The average gain was 81 pounds and
the following financial statement tells
the story:
Gross return, 49,
600 lbs. at 15c-- $4,000
Cost, 5,40O lbs at
11Ac ---------- s4,159.5O
Freight, pasture
bills, labor, and
all other expense 1,445.OO 5.6O4. so
Net profit ---- s1,595.5O
Studying this exhibit a little further
we would estimate that this lamb
crop would indicate not to exceed 400
ewes, and if, instead of buying the
two cars of lambs at cost of s4,159. so
the farmer could arrange to own these
ewes himself he might augment this
profit by the sale of 1000 pounds of
wool now worth $1,000 less the extra
cost of keeping the flock. He would
also be able to contribute to his table
a bounteous supply of most delicious
meat and, in addition, he would have
an asset of possibly s1OO in fertilizing
his land.
The not unusual arguments that a
farmer could not take a summer trip
to the coast" or a "trip to the noun
tains," or, again, that no time could
be spent joy riding with a bunch Of
pesky sheep to take care of, are prob
ably, unsurmountable. These features
perhaps, constitute the greatest bar
rier to success in our day. Another
person would demur on account Of
the capital required This objection,
however, may be overcome If a man
| is inclined to heed the call Of the
home, to build himself a reputation,
and take his place in the affairs OF
the community, surely it would be a
short sighted banker who would re-
fuse to finance him in the laudable
enterprise Of adding at least one car
of sheep to his annual income.
There is yet another angle to the
feature Of spring lamb production
Many of the government projects are
surrounded by splendid summer
range and several Heighbors Joined to
gether can send their flocks to the
prairies or to the mountains, as the
case may be, and at a very reasonable
cost have them returned to the farm
unit in the fall in splendid condition
The only disadvantage we see tc
this line OF activity is that, united
with the other features of the farm
unit, the water user would be com

That cloud is film

You can feel on your teeth a viscous
film. 1t clings to teeth and stays. I'm
less removed, it becomes discolored.
Then it forms dingy coats. 1t particu-
larly discolors teeth of men who smoke
That film is the teeth's great enemy.
1t holds food substance which ferments
and forms acid. il holds the acid in con-
tact with the teeth to cause decay.
Germs breed by millions in it. They
cause many serious troubles. local and
internal So teeth which show film
coat are unsafe.

Teeth You Admire inWomen
Clean and pearly-free from dngy film
All men should have them too

A vast change has come in late years
in respect to pretty teeth. Now you see
winter teeth everywhere, and everyone
admires them.
A new method of teeth cleaning has
come into vogue, and millions now en-
ploy it. II combats the film-the cause
of dingy teeth. If you don't know it, the
test we offer will prove a revelation.
Evening star., 1924-03-30
A solution found

Dental science has found two ways to
solve this great film problem. One way
is to disintegrate the film at all stages
of formation. The other is to remove it
without harmful securing.

Also fruit effects

Research also proved that certain peo.
plies who eat much fruit are more i'm
mune to tooth troubles Many of them
are famous for beautiful teeth.
The reasons are now known. Fruit
acidity multplies the alkalinity of the
saliva. 1t multiplies the starch digestant
in the saliva And those are the agents
on which Nature depends to combat
acid and starch deposits.
So Pepsodent is made to produce twice
daily these essential effects obtained
from fruit 1t rnultiplies these tooth
protecting agents in the mouth.
Evening star., 1924-03-30

Able authorities proved these methods
effective. Then a new-type tooth paste
was created to apply these film combat
ants. The name is Pepsodent The use
has now spread the world over. Careful
people of some so nations employ it,
largely by dental advice.

We Apologize.

VIC APOiOSlLc.
Yesterday a subscriber called up
and stated that she had been answer
ing the door bell all day long; that
a steady line of kids had been COM
ing to her door and asking if she
took the Kenebec journal, and she
wanted to know if we had hired these
kids to go around soliciting subscrip-
tons to our paper. Well, of course
we had to own up that we had just
started a coaster wagon subscription
campaign, offering steel disc
wheeled coaster wagon to any boy or
girl in Maine who would bring or
send us in eight new SIX months
subscriptions.
Perhaps you too had some OF
these youthful solicitors ring your
door bell and, in piping tones, inquire
If you took the Journal. If they
bothered you, we must admit we are
the party chiefly responsible, and
we apologize for the annoyance caus-
ed you. Yet, If YOU could see their
faces light up and their eyes sparkle
when they come into our office and
get close look at that dandy
coaster all shining bright in its
cleaning blue and red paint; if you
could watch them wheel that wagon
across the floor; hear them exclaim
at the surprisingly easy, silent way
it rolls along on it's hard rubber
tires, and see how impatiently they
wait to have their name enrolled and
get their subscription blanks so they
can start right out to get those eight
new subscriptions; if you could see
all this yourself, then we bet you
would not mind their ringing your

have pleasant smile and word Of
encouragement for them. Perhaps
even you would want to assist them
a bit by pointing out or telling them
Of a home which needed a copy of the
Kennebec Journal. Really, it is in
spring to see some Of these young
sters start out of our Office Quivering
with eagernesS to make that coaster
their very own, and with a deter
mined CLEAN in their eyes to get
those eight subscriptions at any cost.
Really don't you think it is a good
thing to encourage these young men
and women of tomorrow to earn
some of their playthings themselves
and to learn the value of things and
of personal effort?
To be sure all of them won't get
the full eight subscriptions. Some
Of them will but the majority will
get only five or six or three or four,
make an honest effort and be better
off for having made that effort no
matter how successful.
To reward those VINO, don't win all
eight subscriptions but who make
a determined effort and get perhaps
only one or two, we shall give them
subscription. Furthermore, we have
arranged so that if boy or girl gets
seven subscriptions but can't get the
eighth, he or she can pay SOC and
get a coaster wagon or if only six
subscriptions $1.0O, or five subscrip-
lions and $1.75, or four subscriptions

the balance in cash they can take
