How best
can-I trade in
my pres ent-car
for a new car

TKTHEN you are ready to trade in
wv YOU. present car for q, new car, you
naturally want full value for your pres
ent car. But most of all you want full
new car value.
It will therefore pay you to consider
varying txade-in allowance offers in the
light of these basic facts:
Your present car has only one funda-
= mental basis Of value: ie., what the
dealer who accepts it in trade can get for
it in the used car market e3 :
s - Your present car has seemingly
n different values because competitive
dealers are bidding to sen you new car.
& =. The largest allowance offered is not
- necessarily the best deal for you.
Sometimes it is; sometimes it is not 4
j that you are paying an excessive
price for the new car in comparison with
its real value
z First judge the merits of the new car
- in comparison with its price, includ-
ing all delivery and finance charges.
Then weigh any difference in allowance
offered on your present car.
n Remember that you are making a
- purchase-not a sale.sYou are3buy-s
ing a new car and simply using your
present car as credit against the new
cars purchase price.

1927 Campaign for Smut-Free
Grain

Farmers of Minnesota who
treated their seed wheat last year
with copper carbonate dust OBJ
tanned excellent results, according
to reports received at University
Farm. The copper carbonate
treatment is recommended for
wheat, while sprinkling with or
dipping in formaldehyde is very
effective treatment for oats and
barley seed.
With the right kind of dust
dust that is not too heavy-and
proper care given drills and other
machinery there need be no troub-
lie in drilling in the treated seed
wheat, say specialists of the uni
versity.
The Northwest Grain Smut Pre-
vention Committee will lead an
other vigorous campaign this year
for smut-free grain. Among its
cooperators are the agricultural
experiment stations of Minnesota,
Montana, and the Dakotas, the
northwest development committee
of the Minneapolis Civic and Com
merce association, the Farm Bur-
eau, and the railroad companies.
Grain trade men of Minneapolis
will, as before, contribute the cam
paign funds.

Outlook Still Good for Sheep
Business

While somewhat lower prices
for mutton and wool may be just
around the corner, Dean w. C.
Coffey of the Department of Agri-
culture, University of Minnesota,
believes that the returns from
sheep will continue to compare fa-
vorably with the returns from
other livestock.
GAIL successful sheep men
should remain in the business" he
says. "Some who are not, but who
are successful as farmers, should
attempt Ito discover and correct
their weakness with a view to con-
tinuing with sheep. For beginners,
little flocks of from five to ten are
often advisable, but I question the
advisability of having fiocks of
such few numbers on farms of
100 acres or more after the owners
have graduated out of the be-
ginners' stage.
"When our sheep men generally
come to realize the importance of
adopting a permanent program of
production, and of giving the flock
it's due share of thought and atten-
ton with respect to breeding, feed
ing, and general care and to mar
keting both lambs and wool, it
will be difficult to run into an
unhealthy sheep situation in this
country"

lation are largely responsible for
fluctuations in the production OF
milk and dairy products on farms
according to the Blue Valley
Creamery Institute. That milk
COW population remains remark
ably uniform is shown by the
fact that it varies only one or two
per cent from year to year. On
January /, 1926, for example,
cows and heifers two years old
and kept for milk on farms num-
bered 100000 head. This num-
ber was one percent less than the
number reported a year previous,
and only four per cent more tham
in 1920. In contrast to this smaii
increase in dairy cow population,
milk production, jumped 30 per
cent from 1920 to 1926, but the
past year showed drop of a lit
tie more than one per cent under
1925.
The number of heifers one to
two wears old being kept for milk
cows was 1861, 900 head on jan
uary 1, 1926, a decrease of 8.0
per cent compared with a year pre-
vious and 13 per cent less than in
1920. Fewer milk cows and few
er yearling heifers on hand at the
beginning of 1926, therefore, con-
tributed in some measure to the
decline in milk production in 1925,
but the primary cause was lack of
ample feed supplies during the
pasture season of the past summer.

New Pig CROP Contest Started
In Minnesota

To locate the most efficient pro-
ducers of pork and to determine
the best methods of breeding, feed
ing, and management, the ton
litter contest will be reinforced in
Minnesota in 1927 by a second
contest in which the average num-
Der of pounds of pork produced
per sow will be the basis of awards.
The new contest will be known
as the Minnesota Pork Production
Contest and it will be directed by
a committee composed of H. A.
Derenthal of 'Wykoff, L. w. Kube
of South ST. Paul, and E. F. Fer
rim and II. G. Zavoral, both of
University Farm. The last named
will be in direct charge.
Any Minnesota swine grower
having five or more sows farrow-
ing within a period of AZ days be-
tween February 20 and June may
enter the new contest. Enroll
ments can be made with the coun-
ty agent, club leader or the ex-
tension division at University
Farm.
When the pig crop averages 1SO
days of age weights must be de-
ternined either by weighing all
the pigs or, in cases where it is
found impossible, 10 representative
pigs from the different litters. If
not weighed when 180 days old
the gain for the variation in age
is to be computed at the rate of |
1.75 pounds per pig day. The
farmer who produces in 180 days
from the time of narrowing the
most pork per sow will be the
winner.
Contestants will be required to
keep records of the kinds and ap-
proximate amounts of feeds con-
summed by the pigs from narrowing
time until the average age of 18O II
days is reached. The committee
announces that liberal prizes in
cash will be paid at least 10 of the H
contestants having the highest av-
erage weights of pork per sow. All
correspondence regarding the new
should be addressed to
Mr.. Zavoral at University Farm,
It. Paul.

Agricultural Notes
40 Per Cent "Velvet"

"A study of improved livestock
compared with common animals
shows the former to have about 40
per cent greater utility value. In
studies of meat yields conducted
by the United States Department
of Agriculture wen-bred cattle,
sheep and swine have been found
to dress considerably higher than
inferior animals of the same live
weight. The department has sta
tistics showing that the increase in
yield ranges from about 5 to 10
per cent of the animals weight.
Furthermore, the use of butter
breeding stock shortens the pro-
duction process as weH-bred ami
NAL can be made ready for market
in less time than a scrub.

Saving Shoulders

The secret of preventing sore
shoulders of horses is correct fit
ting collar and harness adjustments
says the United States Department
of Agriculture. The horses shoul-
ders, which are likely to become
soft because of idleness in winter,
should be given special attention
during the spring fitting season
and up until the muscles harden.
At the beginning of the spring
work clean the horses shoulders
carefully after each days work and
before harnessing the next morn
ing. After removing the harness,
wash the shoulders with warm wat
er and CASTLE soap, then rinse with
cold water with a little salt dis
solved in it. This treatment may
be discontinued at the end of 2 or
3 weeks, but careful daily groom
ing and cleaning of the collars are
always necessary. The use of
sweat pads on the collars is not
advisable, as they seem to do more
harm than good. Persons who use
the curry comb and brush every
morning and evening usually have
least trouble with sore shoulders
when the spring work starts.

Lime for Soils

Agricultural lime is used to i'm
prove acid soils. 1t includes
ground or pulverized limestone,
shells, marble, and lump lime, air
Stacked lime, quick lime, mari,
refuse lime, etc. The best form
to use is that material which is
finely divided and in which a farm
er can get the greatest quantity
of lime carbonate equivalent for. a
dollar. Lime improves an acid soil
in other ways than by supplying
lime to crops. When a soil is
poor in lime it is difficult to grow
crops that are heavy feeders on
lime, as alfalfa, red clover, and
sweet clover. Detailed informa-
tion relative to lining soils may be
obtained from State Agricultural
Colleges, County Agricultural
Agents, or the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
