WALDO COUNTY FARM NOTES

Stillman White, a native of Mont
vile, who for 20 years or more was
engaged in the sheep business IN
Montana and who came home awhile
ago for visit. has decided that there
is a chance to utilize some unoccu-
pied farms here and that conditions
here are more favorable than in the
west for the development of the sheep
industry.
Accordingly he has bought the
Pentecost farm and the Fred Mason
farm. so-called. near MacFarland's
Corner and will start a sheep ranch.
Mr.. White is a man of sound bust
ness ability and this, together with
his successful experience with sheep
in the west, leads people to believe
that his venture will prove successful
and thus solve, in part at least, the
problem of Names unoccupied farms.

Bureau and the county agents, they
are doing good work, also this boost

few successful sheep farms would do
more for Maine Agriculture than all

that there is a profit in the sheep
business and a new era will dawn tor

Very little hay has been cut yet.

On the very interesting Farm
Page Of the Kennebec journal there
have appeared many pleasing stories
of different farmers in Kennebec
County who are engaged in some
large farming enterprise. A great
many farmers through the county
are acquainted with Arthur n.
Ward of this town, owner and man.
ager of Pine Cone Dairy Farm, as
Mr.. Ward was chairman of the
Winslow Farm Bureau, but perhaps
there are still many to learn that he
is, besides all his other labors, busily
engaged in the poultry raising bust
ness. His farm is situated on a
beautiful location spot along the
Sebasticook river on Clinton avenue,
and is an ideal spot for any kind
of live stock to feed and thrive.
The land is in excellent condition,
as are the buildings, and the farm,
house and barn present as attrac-
tive appearance as any on the road.
At the present time Mr.. Ward IS
hauling gravel for the town of
Winslow with his Ford truck. but
he finds time to feed and care for
700 hens and growing stock. Mr..
ward states that he raised some
where around 10000 chickens this
spring. All surplus cockerels not
needed for breeding are shipped
away to be used for broiiers, to a

Expansion Reported In
S h ep Industry
Throughout World

Expansion of the sheep industry
throughout the world is reported by
the Department of Agriculture in a
statement issued on July Is. This
expansion, however, is not expected
to bring much more foreign mutton
and lamb into competition with dom
este supplies of the United States, 1t
was said.
Text of Statement
The full text of the departments
statement follows:
Although potential supplies Of NUT
ton and lamb in 1926 in exporting
countries will probably not be less
and may be larger than in 1925, there
Is no reason to expect any material
increase in the imports of these pro-
ducts into the United States. Mutton
and lamb are being imported into the
United States in small quantities but
large imports have never been profit
able to importers. Prices In export
ing countries are low, but not low
enough to enable foreign producers to
compete in the United States after
paying the tariff duties of 21a cents
a pound on mutton and cents on
lamb.
Expansion is still the rule In the
sheep industry throughout the world.
In Australia sheep have increased
since January, 1928. An unofficial
figure for January /, 1925, indicated
that the number increased in 1925
from S3,0S3,000 to 10000, 900. New
South Wales, which has about so
per cent of the sheep in Australia,
expects another big lambing. The
New Zealand lamb crop this season
was rated at 80 per cent due to a
fortunate change in the weather at
lambing time. 1t is expected the
number of sheep and lambs in New
Zealand when the figures for April
are made available. will show an in
crease over those of last year.
Flocks in Uruguay Increase
The last lambing heason in Cru-
quay is said greatly to have increased
hocks. The number of lambs born
this spring in England and Wales has
been good average. Lamb and
mutton importing countries, with the
exception of Germany and Denmark,
have generally increased the number
OF their sheep since 1928.
Figures for most countries for
which slaughter data are available
show increased killings of sheen and
lambs since 1928. In Chile and Ar
gentina, however. the slaughter this
year is expected to be less than that
or 1928. Slaughterings of sheen and
lambs in New Zealand in FEBRUARY
numbered 1,333,o00 carcasses. com
pared with 1.161,0O0 in 1925, an in
crease Of Is per cent.
Export figures indicated that 1925
was better mutton and lamb wear
than 1924 in New Zealand. Argentina
and Australia. Supplies in 1925 in the
United Kingdom. the worlds largest
importer of frozen mutton and lamb.
We're larger than for any other wear
since 1921. The increased slaughter
lngs in exporting countries were
probably due, in part to lower wool
prices. This is indicated by the fact
that New Zealand furnished more
mutton but less lamb in 1924 than in
1925.

Clean Oats Add
To Acreage

Cleaned and graded oat seed will
add several bushels to the acre, de-
clares a Michigan Agricultural col
lege bulletin. Removal of light oats,
pin oats, chaff, weed seeds and dirt
by the machinery now installed In
big seed houses or even by the fam
ming mills on the farm, will greatly
add to the yield. The experiment
station has proved this by field trials.
While the home tanning mill does
valuable work in cleaning the seed
1t is by no means as efficacious nor
can it remove the weed seeds with
anything like the certainty nor to as
high a percentage as the machinery
installed in the big seed plants.
The extra price for pure seed
which has been carefully machined
is more than repaid by the addition
al yield per acre of this quality of
seed. "In the case of oats, more
than other grains" says the bulletin,
large plump seeds show an increase
in production" This is another
grain in which the farmer can trace
increased yield directly to the seed
factory work.
A great deal of loss is caused each
year by the loose smut of oats. It
has been proved that this loss can
be controlled successfully by proper
disinfecting treatment and by re-
moving the diseased seed from the
healthy. Formaldehyde is the chem
ical used in Michigan to disinfect
seed of smuts and the experiment
station recommends that all oats
planted in Michigan should have
forlnaldehyde treatment before
planting. 1t is estimated that oat
smut often causes a loss of ten BUSH
els per acre where seed is not treat
ed. 1t is essential that properly
cleaned and tested seed only should
be planted in order to secure bumper
oat crops.
Seed oats from the big seed houses
are carefully cleaned and are of the
highest terminating quality and are
freed from much of the smut infec-
ton that homegrown seed supplies
are bound to carry. The use of this
quality of seed is not only an econ
omy but an actual matter Of direct
profit.

we'll known commission house in
Boston. Around the Fourth of July
between three and four hundred of
these fine large broilers were ship
ped away. some to Boston and some
to New York. Asked about the
amount of grain necessary per
month to feed so many hens, Mr..
Ward stated that that could hardly
be estimated at random, for some
months it takes more and some less.
He also gave out a very interest
ing and helpful statement. that If
the exact amount of grain could be
figured up, another poultry raiser
might not be able to feed the same
number of hens and chickens on the
same amount as he could. as their
stock might be older or younger.
and again on the other hand, they
might be able to feed more. The
amount of grain fed depends entire
ly upon the age of the hens, and
whether they are to be used for
breeders or broilers or layers. Mr..
Ward also has nearly a hundred
eggs to collect each day, and a great
many of these are shipped away
Mr. Ward is valuahly assisted by
Mrs. Ward, and these very popular
young people have a fine family Of
children. Mr.. Ward is certainly a
very hard working man and is max
ing a great success Of the poultry
raising project.

Country All Interested
In Impressive Grange Memorial
Dedication July 80. at
Washington, q. c.

One of the most outstanding
Grange events that has ever taken
place in this country, and upon which
national attention will be keenly CEN
tered, is to occur Friday. July so, at
4 p. NJ, at Washington. D. c., in
Rock Greek Cemetery. when formal
dedication exercises will be carried
out around a handsome granite mon
ument erected to the memory of
Oliver H. Kelley, founder of the
Grange organization 60 years ago. and
atfectionately known among the mem
bership everywhere as Father KEEL
ley.
Appropriate dedication exercises.
with ritual ceremony. will be carried
out under direction of Potomac
Grange at Washington, featured by
dedicatory address by National
Master Louis J. Taber, and the un-
yelling of the monument. This me-
mortal is erected by the family of
Mr.. Kelley and. with the cemetery
lot, is presented to the National
Grange, which organization will as
sumo the perpetual care of this his
toric spot. Grange members from
many parts of the United States will
attend the dedication exercises and
throughout the nation wide men,
berSh1p OF more than 100000 Patrons
the July 80 occasion will attract keen
interest.
Father Kelley, who, with six as
sociates, founded this national fra
ternity of farmers six decades ago.
was born in Boston, Massachusetts,
January 7, 1926, a typical Yankee, a
student and philosopher, but a man
of vision and courage, who dreamed
of the possibilities of organizing the
tillers of the soil and whose dreams
crystallized in the Order of Patrons
of Husbandry, in whose creation he
was assisted by six other men, con-
shutting a group universally known IN
Grange parlance as the Seven Found
ers of the Order. During his resi-
dence upon farm in Minnesota and
over long period of life at Washing
ton. d. c., Mr.. Kelley gave unstint-
ingly of time, strength, thought and
money for the creation of the farmers
fraternity of which he dreamed and

ter evaporates very fast, especially If
left out in the sun, becomes warm
and tepid, and does not have the
cooling affect that fresh cool water
has. In order to correct such condi-
tons the water vessels should be kept
in the shade during the summer
months. They should be kept album
dainty supplied with clean, pure.
fresh water and the birds should have
access to 1T at all times.
A common cause OF heat prostra-
ton is the exhaustion which follows
when strange birds are allowed to get
together and quarrel and fight. Many
valuable male birds have been lost
during hot summer days by changing
them over from one pen to another
or combining birds which have been
running in separate pens. They will
tear around the yard after each other,
chasing each other and fighting until
they drop exhausted. They are not
able to stand such violent exercise on
such extremely hot humid days, with
out succumbing. Likewise, females,
if changed from pen to pen or com
bined. will often quarrel and get
overheated, so that care should be
taken never to change birds or COM
bine hocks just previous to or dur
ing extremely hot humid weather.
Should one find his birds suffering
from heat prostration they will usual
~ be found lying prone fiat on the
ground with wings spread out and In
the early stages painting, or in later
stages entirely senseless and more or
less limp. Birds affected in this man
ner should be removed to a cool spot
Immediately and gently famed or
allowed to lie in a draft made by an
electric fan. They may be sprinkled
slightly with cool water and allowed
to drink If they are able to, freely.
Any extreme case, success has follow
cd the holding of them under a
faucet, but this is rather a violent
treatment and there is a question as
to whether it Is the proper procedure.
Corrective measures require that the
bird be given plenty of fresh air ana
draft. in fact. be cooled off slightly by
sprinkling with cool water and drink
ing cold water ALI this discussion
about losses from heat may seem out
of place TO many beginners, but to the
experienced poultry keepers he has
dong learned that knowledge and the
correction of the causes go a lons
ways towards avoiding losses from all
abnormal conditions Heat prostra-
ton is no exception to the rule.

The Making Of Red
Meat

We have always been taught that
we cannot make something out OF
nothing and yet, the reason why some
farmers make more money than 9TH
ers is beca use they regulate things so
thin air can be made INFO meat. It
seems quite long road from the go"d
red meat that is put on the table to
the thin air that is everywhere out
doors, vet often this road is Travelled
in much less than q season.
Here is field of pink clover or
purple alfalfa being drifted in peace
full waves by the slight breeze. And
upon the roots Of the o,overs or al p
falfa there are small round or elon-
gated bodies called nodules. The
nodule is really a colony house where
millions of bacteria live. These are
tiny plants The same wind that rus
ties the clover and alfalfa and watts
the perfume to those who pass,
brings with nitrogen for the air is
four ffths nitrogen.
And strangely enough. the tiny
plants that live in the nodules eat
nitrogen: it is their food. And after
they have eaten. the refuse of the
meal is thrown off as nltrates which
are in turn taken up by the plant.
All the plants that have nodules on
their roots contain much OF CON-
pound which the stock feeder calls
protein. He says the clovers and al
falfa are high in protein. That is.
the plant has appropriated the nitrate
made By the bacteria which in turn
makes it high in protein for protein
is largely nitrogen.
Inoculating alfalfa and soybeans
makes them contain more protein
when they grow Frequent trials
have shown that soyEeans that are
inocul2ted have more protein in them
than those which had no nodules OF
their roots altho both lots of beans
looked much The same.
The stockfeeder has found that out
of all the feeds he puts before h,s
livestock. there are really but two
compounds that concern him. There
are the carbohydrates and fats, and
proteins. Fat is really carbohY
drates concentrated or boiled down
two and a quarter times so the stock
feeder regards them as much the
same thing altho making allowance
for the greater strength of fat. But
protein is an entirely different COM
bination. As the name implies, cal
bohydrates are compounds in which
carbon is the most important Gle
ment; while with proteins, nitrogen
is the important factor. SO We see
that the proteins of the plants trace
back to the nitrogen in the thin air.
The animal takes the carbohy-
drate of the plant, concentrates =
two and quarter times and stores il
as fat But the muscles, the red
meat. are made largely from the pro-
teins. And so the hogs. sheep. or
cattle that are pasturing on the clio
yer or alfalfa or eating soybeans or
cowpeas are really taking what was
but few days ago thin air and
making it into the red meat that is
SO highly priced on the table.

whose promotion he was constantly
assisted by his wife, Temperance
Lane, and four daughters. Again and
again Mr.. Kelley made long, weari-
some trips in behalf OF Grange pro-
motion, and he lived to see his sacrt-
flee and efforts rewarded by a farm
ers' organization bounded by the two
oceans and extending from the Do
minion on the north to the Gulf of
Mexico on the south, with an infiu-
ence in community. educational, So
cial and legislative affairs of rural
character that has never been ap-
proXimated by any other organiza-
ton Of farmers in the world.
1t is easily within the facts to as
sert that no other one American has
made so large contribution TO the
welfare of the rural people as Mr..
Kelley. through the organization
which he so wisely planned and
which has functioned so effectively
over so long a period and in such a
variety Of directions. Mr.. Kelley
close association with the Masonic
fraternity aided him greatly in the
preparation of the Grange ritua |,
which is considered one Of the most
impressive of all fraternal express
sions, especially built around the sea-
sons and the growing life of Nature.
Several others of the group of
Grange founders are also buried in
Washington and the National
Grange has placed suitable markers
upon all these graves. Rock Creek
Cemetery is beautifully located in the
capital city and on the Kelley family
lot, around the beautiful granite me-
mortal, will gather on July 80 note
worthy assemblage, not only of
Grange folks, but of agricultural
leaders from all parts of the United
States.
