FARMERS LOSE
70 BILLIONS IN
PRICE SLUMPSS

Champaign, Ill.-Untold suffering
and capital loss of $2O,0OO,OOO,OC-0
have been borne by farmers and their
families through the slump in the
purchasing power of farm products
and a sharp decline in the net in
come per capita of farm population,
DR.. Henry G. Taylor, former chief
Of the federal bureau of agricultural
economies, declared here.
Dr. Taylor, now connected with the
institute for research in land econ
omies and public utilities at North
western University, Evanston, con-
Guided the program of the Both an
nual farmers week at the University
OF illinois with an address on "Agrf-
cultural SURPRISES and the Tariff"
Relieve Pressure.
The only possible way to relieve
the pressure now cramping the coun-
try's agricultural industry is through
a REIMBURSEMENT of price ratios" DR..
Taylor declared. "This readiustmen,.
IN turn, can be brought about largely
either by reducing the tariff on CITY
products or by making them more
effective on farm products of which a
surplus IS produced in the United
States"
Price Fixing.
DIR. Taylor charged that tariff
rates have become a method of ar
oltrary price fixing which for the
time being enrich the non-agricultur-
al population at the expense of agri-
culture. This price fixing for the
city industries is the basic reason for
the present inequitable distribution
OF wealth IN the United States, he
declared. ~

question whether a chance should be
taken with this variety in this coun-
ty. There are few other new va
rieties that look promising but tney
have not been tested out enough Sc
as to know whether it is SAFE to
recommend them or not.
Concerning Registered MARQUIS for
seed, there is no need of buying any
outside of the county. We have as
good and pure Marquis for sale in
this county as there is anywhere. It
is better to buy at home and know
what you are getting.
Horn and Hannchen two-row bar
ley is recommended for this county.
Horn is the newest variety and seems
to be growing in favor over the
Hannchen.
Reserve and N. Dakota ia have
been found to be the best Welding
flax. There is some excellent seed
for sale in the county of these va
rieties.
Victory Oats is recommended
strongly. There is a new variety call
ed "Markton" which has shown up
very well. Tests on this variety will
be conducted in the county this year.
Markton is more rust resistant saan
the Victory
Karmont and Montana SO are fav-
ored in the winter wheats. They are
both hardy and good yielders.
Grimm and Cossack alfalfa are the
two outstanding varieties of alfalfa
From a seed standpoint Grimm is
preferable because of a larger de-
mand.
There may be other varieties that
are equal to the above mention; but
no one can make a mistake by plant
ing any of these.

Fencing Aids Different
Fields on Stock Farms

Any farmer who raises stock knows
that fencing and subdividing his pas
ture so he can rotate the pasture gives
% per cent more feed value to his
stock because 1t eliminates the big
percentage Of feed that Is trampled
down. This soon pays for the price
of the fence.
There is another gain, however, real
lied by the farmer who keeps books.
The farmer who has all his fields
fenced off not only pastures, but corn,
oats and wheat lands Is able to turn
his stock in these fields during the fall
and winter. The stock not only bene-
fits from the food value Of the rough
age but is at the same time scattering
fertilizer on the fields.
One farmer who kept track Of his
expenses closely said that the saving
of labor cost In distributing fertilizer,
as well as the smaller amount Of COM
mercial fertilizer that he had to buy,
more than paid for his fence without
counting the other benefits.
This farmer said: Every farmer
pays for fence whether or not he
has 1t, the only difference being that
the farmer who has good fences gets a
big return on his investment"

Plan Is Favored Because of
Low Price of Cottonseed
Meal and Hulls.

Because of the low price of cotton
seed meal and hulls this winter, win
ter feeding of beef cattle for the
spring market might be good venture
for farmers who are favorably located
for the work.
Favorable Fattening Dates.
''The most favorable dates for fat
tening beef cattle are between Novem-
Der 1 and March L." says Prof. r. 8.
Curtis, animal husbandman at the
North Carolina State college. Cattle
do better in the winter months and
there Is not so much danger In feed
ing the meal. Those who wish to be-
gin this work should do so at once,
otherwise the finishing period may ex-
tend over into the warm months. Con-
ditions then are less favorable for
feeding cottonseed meal, farmers are
busy In spring and the manure must
be hauled out at an unfavorable time"
Professor Curtis states that when
one starts to feed beef cattle with the
meal, each animal should be given one
pound daily and the amount be gradu-
ally increased so that a full ration
be given at the end of 80 days. A safe
rule to follow for the full ration is
one pound Of meal to each 100 pounds
live weight of animal, using 211a to 8
pounds of hulls for each pound Of
cottonseed meal used. Where farm

Avoid Tubers That Are
Badly Sprouted.

Plant the small ones and save ex-
pense, is the advice of f. A. Krantz
of the division of horticulture, Univer-
sity of Minnesota, to potato growers
who are beginning to think in terms
of seed for next spring.
Mr.. Krantz says that whole small
potatoes are even better to plant than
seed pieces from large tubers, pro-
vided they come from vigorous,
healthy plants. If planted when
weather conditions are unfavorable
there is less likelihood of the whole
small potato rotting in the ground
than there is of the seed pieces cut
from large potatoes.
Growers who have kept up seed
plots will be perfectly safe in planting
their small, unmarketable stock" says
Mr. Krantz. "The small seed potato
should be firm in substance, with the
first sprouts just beginning to appear,

impress upon these volunteers the
stern necessities Of military life. The
bluff worked and four-page petition,
signed by the most of the regiment
and begging clemency for Scott, was
presented to the brigade commander.
Upon General Smiths recommendation
General Mcclellan issued pardon.
Lincoln had little or nothing to DO
with the case. 1t Is true that he was
concerned about the case and simply
as a matter of form" made the request
to Mcclellan that SCOTS life be
spared. He let the fact Of his request
be known to impress upon the soldiers
the seriousness of SCOTS offense, for
when the pardon was read before the
regiment, the warning was uttered that
nothing short Of the Presidents re-
quest had saved this soldier and that
the President was not likely to do 1t
again.
Nor did the dramatic tent scene take
place. The widowed mother" did not
exist. Both Of Scott's parents were
living at the time. Part OF the story
about SCOTS later career Is true-that
part which tells Of his death. He was
MORALLY wounded at the battle Of
Lees Mil April 16, 1862, and died the
next day. But he did not deliver a
dying grafton nor prayer for the
President. The surgeon who attended
him has stated that he was In a coma
tose condition to the moment of his
death.
Although Lincoln was not directly
responsible for saving the life Of this
sleeping sentinel, there was similar
case later In the war in which he did
exercise this clemency. In January,
1854, Henry c. Fuller Of Company @.
One Hundred and Eighteenth New
York volunteers, was sentenced to be
shot for falling asleep at his post. One
Of his comrades, Rowland @. Kellogg,
happened to be writing to his father,
CONGRESSMAN Orlando Kellogg Of New
York, at the time, and In postscript
to his letter told Of the sentence that
had been passed upon his friend
"Hank." Orlando Kellogg had first
known Lincoln when both were In con.
gress in the '40s, and during the Civil
war they had renewed their acquaint-
ance and become fast friends.
Immediately upon receipt Of the let
ter, Congressman Kellogg went to the
White House, even though it was late
at night, to plead for Fuller's life. Ac-
cording to the story, he told the Pres.
ident that "the boys Of the One Hum
dred and Eighteenth didn't go to war
to be shot that way" Lincoln decided
to save Fuller's life and issued the
necessary papers which were carried
back to camp by Chaplain Charles L.
Hagar, who had brought young Kel.
logg's letter to the congressman. The
chaplain arrived just in time to pre-
vent the execution.

Feed Beef for the
Spring Markets

roughages are available the hulls
should be decreased. 1t requires from
90 to 120 days to put decent finish
on beef cattle. Rations should be
given them twice daily and water and
salt kept before them at all times.
Gain Of Beef Animal.
A'beef animal should gain from 100
to 200 pounds during feeding period
of 120 days and under average condi-
lions there should be margin of two
cents per pound between the buying
and selling price. Most feeders figure
that II they can break even and have
the manure clear with so to S5 per
cent of the fertilizing constituents OF
the meal in it, they have done a good
piece Of work The finished animals
are usually marketed during the early
spring.

Calf Feeds Necessary
to Make Rapid Growth

If calf eight weeks old Is to make
rapid growth 1t will be necessary to
feed it some milk with grain and hay.
II it is impossible to feed it milk it
will make a fairly good growth on the
following mixture: Shelled corn, 80
pounds; oats, 80 pounds; wheat bran
30 pounds, and linseed meal, 30
pounds. Mix and let the calf have
all it will clean up without waste. The
oats and corn may also be ground If
desired. The calf should have all the
bright clover hay it will eat and also
all the water it will drink. Alfalfa
hay can be fed instead Of the clover
hay, but it is not so good for young
calves as is clover hay, since 1t Is
much richer in protein, which In some
cases, does not agree with the calf.
The calf should have clean box stall
and have plenty of sunlight.

Extremes of Zeal

st. Bernard, st. Francis and Savon-

health by over-e0thusiastic fasting
and other ascetic practices, while
Martin Luther, after starving himself
in the monastery to the point of
emaciation, went, after his break with
Rome, to the opposite extreme and
suffered the consequences of high liv-
ing. He drank wine, as he put it, "to
spite the devil" that is, the devil In

Satisfactory Ration

A simple mixture comprised Of 40
parts corn and cob meal, 35 parts
ground oats and approximately 25
parts Of oil meal makes very salts
factory ration where the cows have
good legume roughage. If the cows
are getting silage many people prefer
to feed cotton seed meal instead of the
linseed meal, as the silage and legume
hay are both somewhat laxative and
therefore the laxative qualities of the
linseed meal are not so badly needed.
Whichever combination Is used, how
ever, will be found an ideal feed for
dairy cattle.

Good for Hog Oilers

The waste oil from your tractors
can be used for hog oilers, burning
out stumps, mixed with venitian red
for cheap barn paint, brushed on to
automobile springs, mixed with lard
or tallow for greasing wagons and
heavy vehicles, lubrfcating binders
and other farm machinery, as basis
for oil spray, sprinkling on roadway
to keep down dust, and so on. But
do not use it on leather or for preserv-
ing posts. Waste oil from automo-
biles Is also good for the same pur-
poses.

Gull Out Poor Sows

It will not pay to carry sows
through the winter il they are not sat-
isfactory pig raisers. Sows that for
any reason are not raising good filters
should be fattened and sent to mar
ket. Old sows that are past the age
of greatest usefulness should be re-
placed in the breeding herd by good
gifts. Blindness, bad udders and slug
gish disposition are frequently found
with old sows. A sluggish, lazy SOW
is more apt to inJure or kill her pigs.

Dormant Spray for Cherries

Sour cherries will not often require
a dormant spray, but If needed the
spray recommended for peaches may
be used. The sprays are applied as
follows, using lime-sulphur IL to so
or bordeaux $3.50 plus one pound of
arsenate of lead: Make the first spray
just before the cherry trees bloom.
the second when the shucks are drop
ing from the young fruit, and a third
spray following the second in about
two weeks. To control cherry leaf
spot, about two additional sprays
should be applied after harvest. The
interval between them should be about
three weeks.

Need for Pruning

Most fruit growers, even the more
experienced ones, find their notions
about pruning changing somewhat
from time to time as new evidence on
the subject is adduced, and there will
be more opening up Of the older trees,
than has been the rule, during the
next few years. There is no better
time to see the need Of this than when
one can step under the branches and
observe the large quantity of apples
on the under and inner branches that
are a liability.

Tender and Palatable
Meat Is Most Desirable

If a farmer will fatten his heifers
and kill and dress them properly he
will have very tender and palatable
meat. A quick finish is desirable be-
cause It is economical, but beef that
is fattened slowly may be very good
too.
Care should be taken not to excite
the animal before killing, as this adj
versely affects the quality Of the
meat. The carcass should hang for
at least a week of ten days before
using, in order to get the best flavor.
Some people think that the best
favored beef is from mature beasts,
but meat from yearlings properly fat
tened, killed, dressed, ripened and
properly cooked is very good.
