Unproductive Idle Land
Made to Yield Profits

Idle land like idle labor is a detri-
ment to any county. Taxes must be
paid on all land Why not grow a
crop of timber on worn-out, sandy,
broken, or wet lands not needed for
agriculture? This pertinent question
for farmers is answered by w. r. Mat
toon, extension forester, with the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, who reminds us that there are
several million acres of such land
which should be producing timber be-
cause it is the most profitable crop
that can be grown on such lands.
Timberland that has been cut
heavily and burned over usually has
SO few seed-bearing trees that it does
not get well set in young growth. All
sorts of tweed trees" come in, like
sweet gums, sassafras, persimmon,
and others, often preventing the more
valuable trees from coming in.
Pines are easily propagated, and de-
nuded lands can be made to grow a
full crop of pine with little effort.
Experiments show that slash pine seed
can be successfully soWn on wet lands,
such as savannah or crawfsh lands.
About two pounds Of seed per acre
should be used. Servings on land
with one years grass have given bet
ter results than on freshly burned
over land.

Iobred Wheat Is Again
Ready for Distribution

Iobred wheat is again ready for dis
tributiOn in lots of sufficient size to
seed one acre in comparison with some
homegrown variety. This wheat is
being distributed by the Iowa Agricul-
tural Experiment association this year
for charge of $3.50 for liz bushels.
Reports received from a number Of
those receiving this wheat last fall in
dictate that 1t came through the win
ter in fine shape in all parts Of the
state. It's record at the experiment
station during the past several years
would indicate that it is an unusually
hardy strain as well as a good yielder.
Iobred is variety which. can quite
readily be distinguished from other
varieties as it has very plump berry
and also very distinct bronze col
ored chaff which makes it rather dis
tinct from the average variety of win
ter wheat.
Those interested in securing enough
of this seed to try one acre of it should
write to the Iowa Agricultural Expert
ment association, Ames, Iowa, sending
$3.50 to cover cost of seed before the
limited supply is exhausted. It is now
ready for distribution.

Corn Silage Hints
Made by Experts
Prepare When the Moisture
Content is 65 per Cent.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agrtculture.)
Corn Silage is best prepared when
the corn is cut at stage containing
about 65 or 20 per cent moisture, say
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. This may
be told when the lower leaves on the
stalk are turning brown, about 80
per cent of the kernels are dented, and
Is per cent are so hardened that no
moisture can be squeezed out.
The length to which the silage Is
cut should be from one-half to one
inch. Silage cut this short will pack
better and the silo will hold its maxi
mum tonnage. Also the chances for
the silage to spoil are considerably re.
duced
In filling the silo packing is essen
tial. The common practice is to keep
the sides slightly higher than the
center and to tramp the whole surface
thoroughly.
If the silage is too dry to pack well,
water should be added. This is best
done by directing a hose in the blower.
Well-packed and moistened silage is
less likely to mold.
When the silo is filed the silage
should be covered to prevent spoilage.
A layer of cut corn or sorghum stalks
from which the ears or grain have
been removed does this effectively.

Expensive Machines Are
Entitled to Best Care

1t is time for several of the ma
chimes of the farm to be put up for
the year The binder has completed
it's work for the year and the mower
is through with it's job: These two
pieces of machinery represent more
or less complicated design and are
expensive. They should receive good
care in order that they may be in
good working order for another year.
All dirty bearings should be well
cleaned and polished and then given
a heavy coat of oil or grease so that
they will not rust The sickles should
be removed and stored in dry place
after having been given good over
hauling and coat Of oil. The ma
chimes should be well inspected and
any repairs should be ordered now. 1t
is much easier for man to recall
needed repairs after few days than
it is to recall them after several
months. If repairs are made now, the
machine will be in working order next
year.

Surplus Vegetables and
Fruits Should Be Saved

Fall seems to be the season of sur
plus fruits and vegetables, and we
should make every effort to save
them for winter use. Canning, drying,
pickles, jams and preserves offer an
infinite number of combinations and
possibilities for these things. If you
make more than the family can use,
try and find a private market for
them in town-homes, stores and hos
pitfalls. Many farm housewives have
made quite an income in this way.
Gull fruits can be made into de-
licious jams, conserves, preserves, but
tiers, spiced whole fruits, picked
fruits, jellies, etc. Underripe fruits
make the best spiced and picked
fruits, while overripe ones make the
best jams, and conserves.
Unripe vegetables tomatoes, ETC.
make excellent chopped pickles. Gu
cumbers, which get ripe, may be made
into special sweet pickles. Apples are
good in mixed pickles. The sur
plus green tomatoes, cabbage, Onions,
caulifloWer, cucumbers, and even green
beans may be used up in mixed pickles.
Get some good recipes and try them
out.

ton? If so, then its collapse would
be nothing less than great national
calamity.
No other industry could stand the
losses and wastes which the dairy in
dustry endures, against severe COM
petition, and long persist. The reason
why dairying thus far has been able
to endure lies in the inherent economy
of the dairy cow as producer of food
for man. But even in dairying these
losses are a constant drain, more and
more keenly felt. That we are daily
making better use of dairy by-products
is shown by the large number of uses
to which they have been but recently
adapted. When dairying does for
itself what the packing industry has
already done, it's position will be still
more stable.
Methods Must Change.
What has been said is no argument
against the change which will and
must take place in dairy methods. In
the first place, the small plant must
90 Numerous little hillside and
crossroad butter and cheese factories
must soon give place to large we'll
equipped and more sanitary city
plants. This is the trend OF business
everywhere and has been for many
years; but dairying has not yet fully
realized this need. This is particu-
larly true with cooperative plants OPP
Grated by farmer producers. These
cannot effectively cope with the larg-
er and more economically managed
centralizers except they reduce their
overhead by increasing their volume
of business. With them it must be
"change or quit" and for the sake OF
the industry they must not quit.
Farmer co-operatives must continue
because in them lies the largest, per-
haps the only hope for the improve
ment of the industry. Thus far no.
eroup has seen fit to follow the prod
uct through to the consumer, satisfy
ing his demands, studying his needs
and producing to meet them.
Little effort has been made to pro-
duce quality dairy products that
would meet the most eXacting de-
mands of the consumer. What has
heen done has seldom gotten the
premium which the consumer has been
willing to pay back into the pockets
of the farmers who made the produc-
tion of this high quality product pos
sib1e. bv furnishing high quality raw
material. The most noteworthy en-
amples of such successes are furnished
nv the farmer co-operatives. When

follow the example Of paying for quail

follow the example Of paying for quail
ity or be forced out. In either event,
needed improvement in the dairy bust
ness and just remuneration for honest
effort will then become possible and
accepted as business policy.
High-CIass Leadership Needed.
In no other industry is there greater
need for high-class men at the head.
This cannst come to pass without con-
solidation. Small plants cannot afford
to pay big salaries. Expert men are
needed in both the manufacturing and
the selling end of the business. These
can be had only with large plants.
Good roads and modern methods or
transportation have rendered the
small plant unnecessary. Large, we'll
equipped factories with big men at the
head are essential to dairy advance
and will come There's yet another
reason for them.
This is found in the alarming in
crease in the use of butter substitutes.
In the United Kingdom before the war
the average annual per capita con-
sumption of butter was little over
Is and margarine 5 pounds each, but
in 1918 butter had fallen and margar-
inc had risen until consumption of
each was almost pound for pound.
In our country our per capita con-
sumption of oleomargarine is higher
than that of cheese and equal to about
1o% Of hJ1tt
why this increase in the use of sub
stitute?
There are several good reasons. In
the first place, the manufacture OF
these competitors of butter is in the
hands of few. 1t is carried on In
large plants where the most sanitary
processes may obtain under control
by few highly skilled experts, and
it is put on the market by high pres
sure craftsmanship employed in mod
ern business. For dairy products, in
a very large degree, all these are
lacking.
In the second place, the profits of
the substitute enable it to pay for
high-grade leadership. With our many
small plants this has not been pos
sible in the dairy business.
Third, the producer follows his prod
ucts through to the ultimate con.
sumner, studies his needs, and pro-
duces and packages to suit. No such
parallel obtains in dairying.
Substitutes Are Subsidized.
FINALLY. the manufacturer of SubSti-
tutes enjoys a protective tariff that

Ventilation Is Needed
for Health of Poultry

Ten hens breathe off more than a
pint Of water a day. Are you pro-
viding ventilation to get this out Of
the house, or do your hens take con-
tinuous cold bath day and night with
out a towel for rub down? Even
you would get the ronp under such
conditions. Watch out for moisture on
the windows and frost on the walls.
