Possibilities Open for
Farm Storage of Grain

The farmer has the choice of three
places for storing his grain in order
to hold II for a favorable market. II
is explained by l.. f. Hickey. grain
marketing specialist of the college of
agriculture, University of Illinois.
These three places are: ~ In cribs or
granaries on his own farm, ~ eleva-
tors or cribs Mt his shipping point, or
CD at the terminal elevators. In order
to hold his grain, it is often necessary
for the farmer to borrow money upon
1t ms collateral.
When 1t is In public elevators Mt
the terminal markets he can readily
borrow on the warehouse certificates,
but the cost of such storage is rather
high. Storage in the local elevator has
advantages, but these houses are not
large enough to actually store very
much grain and many elevators refuse
this class of business or limit the time
of storage to n comparatively short
period.
Farm cattle and granaries offer the
cheapest storage for grain crops and
this method has several other apparent
advantages. However. no one would
care to loan money on grain so To-
Gated. Iowa has solved this part of
the problem by Its unbonded agri-
cultural warehouse law. Under Its
provisions cribs or granaries are OIL
cially sealed and storage certificates
Issued which are acceptable to local
bankers MS collateral for loans. The
grain thereby finances Its holding for
n favorable market.

Great Activity
of Associations
Render Some Essential Serv-
ice Connected With
Farmers Enterprises.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricultural
There are now more than 1900 ac-
tive farmers business organizations
In the United States, the Department
of Agriculture estimates on the basis
of a recent survey. This number is
more thar twice hat in 1915, when
the first nationwide survey of coop
arative associations was made by the
department.
Included in Associations.
The associations include those sell
ing farm products, buying farm sup
plies, operating creameries, cheese
factories, canning plants, grain eleva-
tors, ~stockyards, warehouses, or rem
dering some one or more of the essen
tial services connected with the CON
duct of farmers enterprises. The
figures do not include farmers coop
erative banks, credit associations. nor
Insurance companies.
Fifty-four of the associations listed
are declarations with local units, 40
are sales agencies operating in cen
trail markets, 30 are bargaining asso-

zations of the centralized type. OF
the total number of associations listed
by the department, 1926 are primarily
engaged in marketing grain, 2,191
handle dairy products. Ito ship live
stock, 1850 market fruits and vege+
tables; 121 perform various functions
in the marketing of cotton, 81 in mar
keting wool, Il in marketing poultry
or poultry products. and "a in mar
ketlng tobacco.
In North Central Statee.
More thar 30 per cent of all the
associations are in the II North Cen
ira states. Approximately 6 per cert
are in the three Pacific Coast states,
and less than 3 per cen in the six
New England states. The largest
number of associations reporting from
any one state is 1883 from Minnesota.
iowa is credited with 1904 associa-
tions, Wisconsin 1902, and Illinois
$50. Missouri has 537 associations /;
Nebraska, 4SS: Kansas. 1866; Califor-
mia. $50. and New York. 2s6.
The grain marketing associations
are largely in the - North Central
states. as are also the greater number
of the livestock shipping associations.
The organizations engaged in market
ing dairy products are scattered
through the country with a fair per-
centage of the total number in Mime

Clover Requires
Firm. Moist Seed Bed

Sweet clover seed, being very small,
should be planted shallow. In order
that 1t may grow when planted shall
low, the soil must be quite firm and
full of moisture. Perhaps most of the
failures with sweet clover are due
to blowing, or otherwise loosenlng M
the seed bed before planting the crop
In the spring. Early spring blowing
loosens and permits the top soil to
dry out and so prevent n good stand
OF sweet clover.
Land to be planted to this crop
should be fall plowed, or, even better,
summer fallowed the year preceding.
Where such land is not available, corn
stalk land. millet or cane land is suit
able, giving It only II Hight disklng ms

Sweet clover should be planted MS

eight TO ten pounds Of clean, scarihcd
seed per acre. Where possible, drill

one inch. Where one cannot drill so

Dairy Cow Has Financed
Farmers When Needed

Farmers realized nearly as much
from dairy cows during 1925 as from
their cor and wheat crops combined,
according to figures issued by the Ma
tional Dairy council.
According TO careful estimates based
on investigation, the farm value Of all
dairy products for the year 1928, is
81. TOO,OO0,OOO. This is only about
5000, 100000 less than the total farm
value of wheat and corn, the govern
ment estimate of the combined farm
value of the latter being S2,904,2 G9,
600.
But the important fact" states NJ.
d. Mum, president of the National
Dairy council. lis that American farm
ers have marketed their dairy prod
ucts day By day throughout the year
without any accumulated surplus On
their hands and have thus received
funds with which they have been able
to live and help finance their other
farm operations, while they still have
much of their corn and wheat on hand.
This vast sum of nearly W. and
three-fourths billions has financed di-
versified farming in this country and
relieved agriculture from what would
otherwise have beer in~surmountable
difficulties, especially in view Of the
accumulated surplus of grains to-
gether with the low prices that now
prevail. In addition TO the cash return
TO the farmer through the dairy COW he
has also been supplied with dairy
products for his own family use, which
have materially assisted in reducing

Plans to Increase
Soil Productivity
Crop Rotation as Good as
Manure and Fertilizers.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
In the practice of CROP rotation a
farmer has at his command n means
whereby he can materially reduce acre
costs or Increase the output of his
land, says w. w. Weir, associate soil
technologist of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Perhaps that
fact Is not news to many farmers
who have been using rotation in their
crop system; they know it is a bene-
fetal practice.
They may be surprised. however,
says Mr.. Weir, to learn that crop ro-
tation is nearly as effective in increas-
ing soil productivity as the use of
and commercial fertilizers.
Furthermore, crop rotation can be
practiced usually with no outlay of
money, whereas the use of commercial
fertilizers requires an expenditure of
money.
A study of the long-continued soil
fertility experiments of this country
and of England, made by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. has brought out
~ iihGbA AahA laNAo abphl ll'B AbAb
ton in its relation to soil productivity.
In general. says Mr.. Weir, they show
that rotation without the use Of
or commercial fertilizers is
nearly as efficient in effecting crop in
as the use of fertilizers with
out rotation. The beneficial effects of
crop rotation are different from the
benefits derived from the use of fer
tilizers; SO that when these two farm
practices are combined the one prac-
tice adds to the benefits of the other,
making the resultant increase almost
twice that secured by either practice
used alone.
on soils long under cultivation
highest yields are possible only when
rotation and the use of fertilizers are
practiced together.

locked out of his luxurious villa,
which was sealed under govern

was faced with the stereotyped re-
ply sent to all belated taxpayers
by his own services, Pay first,
then make your claim"
The minister paid the full amount
and then started an investigation
in his ministry to ascertain who
was responsible for the failure to
send him his tax bills.
