on for growers of swine in 1924 by

Jack Pine Sure to Have Day In
Court-Evidences multiply that the
jack pine will yet have its day in
court. 1t may never be described as
a '1ordly pine" but that there is a
place for it and need of it becomes
clearer with every passing year.
Director Raphael Zon of the Lake
States Forest Experiment station,
with headquarters at University
Farm, says the value of good stands
of jack pine second growth at so
years of age would be from $225 to
$500 per acre, and this in the sandy
wastes of northern Minnesota, Michi-
gan, and Wisconsin that would other
wise be classified as unproductive
While much of the jack pine is low
grade, probably because of the open
nature of the stands, small dense
clumps show quality that promises
well, say the foresters of the station
and university. 1t is well to remem-
Der that jack pine is selling for from
81 to So cord on board cars and
that average 50-year yields are esti-
mated at 80 to 40 cords an acre.

Minnesota Wheat Growers
Assn. Have 10000 Members
Eight Million Bushels of Wheat of
1924 Will Be Handled Through
State Pool

Minneapolis, Sept. minnesota
Wheat Growers this year have the
first opportunity they have ever had
to test out the real value of cooper
alive marketing with substantial
volume of the crop under control.
The Minnesota Wheat Growers
cooperative Marketing Association
is entering the 1924 crop year with
ten thousand members enrolled in the
ranks, and with approximately eight
million bushels of wheat signed up
in the state pool. That is nearly
forty per cent of the entire spring
wheat crop in Minnesota this year.
Last year this association was or
ganized, and it entered the 1923 mar
keting season with but few members
and handled only small pool of
one-hlaf million bushels of wheat. Yet
the existence of this new organiza-
ton had an effect upon the market
that was felt by every farmer In
the state, according to w. H. Fred
erick, Secretary of the Association.
"During the 1923 crop year," said
Mr.. Frederick, "for the first time in
the history of the grain trade in Min
nesota, country elevators paid prem
ium of two to eleven cents over the
station card price for wheat, aver
aging five cents throughout the
state. This premium brought an ad-

Four Cows Change Boarding Places
The story Of what happened to four
cows when they changed their board
ing places was shown this week at the
State Fair. The striking exhibit,
which showed it, was arranged by the
University of Minnesota Dairy De-
partment.
One year ago four cows were pur-
chased by the Dairy Department.
They were all purchased from one
farmer. He had just finished a year
in COW testing association. The
four cows had been on test for the
year. They had made little better
than average records. The four
averaged 1872 pounds of butterfat
and 1862 pounds Of milk for the
year.
These four cows were purchased
by the University and taken to Uni
versity Farm, where they were fed
and tested during this last year. The
idea of the experiment was to show
now much more they would produce
if they are fed balanced ration.
The following figures show the re-
suits of the test. Note that on the
original owners farm, considerable
boughten feeds were fed. At Uni
versity Farm, strictly home grown
feeds were fed.
Cows will produce their best when
fed balanced ration. Any farmer
can balance his rations with home
grown feeds that include Alfalfa, corn
silage, oats and barley.
The following figures show how
each COW responded to the change in
feed and care.
