(By U. S, Bureau of Agricultural
Economics and Minnesota Dept. OF

South st. Paul, Jan. 24.-Cattle val
ues are closing the week in a shaky
position as the result of daily con-
gested dressed markets and sharp
downturus at outside livemarkets.
Much Of the congestion in the dressed
trade is probably due to the fact thai
beef prices are still high when COM
pared to pork and pork products.
Hogs continue to move to the market
in broad volume in spite Of which
prices advanced 25c this past week.
Fat lambs received a temporary set
back this week, values being quoted
weak to Csc lower.
Weighty fed Montana steers topped
for the week in the cattle division.

and Children

Mrs. Anna Herndon, twenty-four-
year-old wife of Tyson Herndon,
who, with her three children, dis
appeared yesterday from her home,
6312 L street northeast, is believed
to be at her mothers home near
Manassas, Va.
The husband, motorman of the
Washington Railway. and Electric
Company, is worried, being unable
to explain why his wife took with
her a loaded .32-caliber revolver.
When he returned home from
work yesterday he found this note:
Dear Tyson am going to Vir-
ginia and will be back some day,
maybe.",
He learned she left home in a
taxicab at IL o'clock yesterday
morning, taking with her the three
children, one seven months, one
four years and the other six years
old. She also took three Easter
baskets, containing eggs and candies
which she had prepared. She had
planned to take the children to the
Zoo today.
The husband, who spent all night
visiting his wife's relatives In
Washington. decided today to go
to Manassas.
In asking police last night to aid
in the search Herndon described his
wife as follows:
Five feet five inches tall, weighs
about $50 pounds and wore black
hat, blue beaded dress and a black
coat with fur collar and cuffs.

Of Agriculture.)
Nineteen truck crops produced in the
United States the past year for table
use, canning and manufacture had a
gross value to the growers Of $3t3, 0OO,-
600, according to estimates by the
United States Department of Agrieul-
ture. This is $12O0O,OO0 less than in
1928, but $22,00O,OO0 more than in
1922, and $7S,OOOO0O more than in
1921.
There has been a rapid expansion in
truck crop production, transportation,
and marketing in recent years, as in
dicated in acreage figures, the depart
ment points out. The acreage devoted
TO the 10 crops this year was 2,302.000
acres, which is 60 per cent Increase
over the acreage in 1921.
Canning Acreage Doubled.
Production of Is crops grown wholly
or partly for table use direct was on
100000 acres and had value of
$262, 100000 The quantity produced
wholly or partly for canning or manu-
facture was grown on $4,000 acres
and had value of S51,O00,000. The
canning acreage has been more than
doubled since 1921, and the table acre
age has been increased one-third.
Tomatoes were first in gross value,
showing total Of $55,00O,00O; early
Irish potatoes are valued at $4,000
600; strawberries $35.O000O0, and can
taloupes S20,O00,OO0. Green peas,
onions, lettuce, celery, cabbage, and
asparagus each come in the $15,000,000
TO $17,0O0,0O0 range; cucumbers, snap
beans and watermelons ranged from
$S,5OO,000 to $12,OOO,O00 each, and
sweet corn for canning, spinach, pep
pers, cauliflower, and carrots, from
SO 100000 to $7.1000O0 each. The
value of elephants was S1,03O,0O0.
Tomatoes in the Lead.
Tomatoes had the largest acreage at
100000 acres early Irish potatoes.
308,O00 acres sweet corn for can
ming, $4,000 acres; green peas, 242, 900
acres; watermelons. 168,000 acres;
strawberries, 1000 acres; cucumbers,
10000 acres. These figures do not
include market gardens. Ninety-one
per cent of the acreage of green peas
was for canning; canning and manu-
facture of cucumbers took 70 per cent
Of the acreage; tomatoes, 81 per cent;
asparagus, AZ per cent; spinach, %
ner cent string beans, 81 per cent.
and cabbage for kraut, IA per cent.
Truck crops are the product of in
tensive agriculture and require much
human labor. and a highly fertile and
well-tilled soil. Gross return per acre
is far from being all profit, and some
times fails to equal the cost of pro-
duction, the department says.

Cost of Fertilizer Can
Be Reduced by Legumes

"Grow more legumes and let nature
take care of your fertilizer needs
Let the air help pay your fertilizer
BILL"
This is the suggestion soil and crop
specialists of the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture make to help keep
the cost of fertilizer down. Nitrogen
is the most expensive constituent in
factory mixed fertilizer, they say and
economy necessitates the using Aof a
part of the unlimited quantities of
nitrogen found in the air over Georgia
farms.
The clovers and vetches have been
found to make available about sixty
pounds of nitrogen per acre, and when
the whole crop is turned under, the
fertilizing value is equivalent to the
addition of five or six loads of stable
manure.
A good legume hay crop turned un-
der will lead to profitable and per-
manent farming. 1t would require
four tons of ordinary mixed fertilizer
per acre, containing 2 per cent ann
monia, to furnish an amount of nitro
gen equal to good crop of vetch or
clover. If purchased in mixed form
this nitrogen would cost from $50 to
S25 per ton.

Little Oil IN Shells
TAE wooLLY CROCODILE

The bureau of fisheries says that the
composition of sea shells. or the shells
of any molIusks, varies with the kind
or species. In general, the shell is
composed of about 90 per cent calcium
carbonate, 6 per cent organic matter
and 2 per cent water. The organic mat
ter present in mussel shells is conch-
iolin, substance very similar to
keratin. Keratin Is an albuminoid, or
sclero-protein. very rich in sulphur. in
soluble in neutral solvents. but which
may be dissolved upon warming with

-lieved that shells have any appreciable

Sources of Protein and
Vitamines for LAYING Hen

Skim milk and buttermilk are ev-'
ceedingly valuable sources Of protein
and vitamines for laying hens. This
has been demonstrated not only by
experiment stations, but also by
thousands of poultry raisers. While
poultrymen genera1y understand the
value of these products, they do not
always use enough of them to get the
best results obtainable. Too many
think that if they feed some milk or
some buttermilk in addition to the
regular mash and grain ration, they
are doing all that is necessary. This
of course, may not be true. Feeding
"some" of these dairy products max
not be enough to properly balance the
ration
1t has been shown that an ordinary
mash made of ground corn, ground
oats, bran, and shorts. when supple
mented with whole corn and oats,
make good laying ration when the
hens are given all the buttermilk or
skim milk they can consume. That is,
when they are given no water. If
they have access TO water in adj
dition to skim milk or buttermilk, they
will not consume enough of the lat
ter to balance the ration mentioned,
and therein lies the mistake that so
many poultrymen make. They do not
feed enough Of the skim milk or but
termilk to furnish the amount Of pro-
TEN needed for high production.

Control of Apple Scald

Oiled wrappers have proved to be
the most practical preventive of scald
found so far. The first consideration
is prompt cooling after harvest. Then
pack your apples, using oiled wrappers
for each apple Such apples should
come through storage in much better
condition. Write to the United States
Department of Agriculture for Farm
ers' Bulletin No. 1880 for more COM
