EXTENSION SYSTEM OF
RURAL EDUCATION GROW
ING RAPIDLY

Expansion of the system for
rural education maintained thru
the agency of the cooperative ex-
tension services of the Federal
and state governments is reflect
ed in some degree by the record
of appropriations by Congress in
support of the work. The original
Smith-Lever act, effective July 1,
1914, provided a total of $4,000,
600, at the rate Of $4,000 for each
state. Gradually these appropria-
tions have been increased to 81,
602,935 for the coming year, which
with supplemental appropriations
and an appropriation under the
new Capper-Ketcham Act makes
available more than 100000 for
Federal aid to the extension work.
Explaining these figures recent
ly, C. Warburton, director of ex-
tension work, United States De-
padtment of Agriculture, said that
each State and Hawaii now re-
ceives 100000 annually without
requirement that the state match
this sum with additional appropri-
alton. The remainder of the fund
is divided among the States in
proportion to the rural population,
and with the added proviso that
the State must provide an equal
amount of money for extension
work in order to qualify for the
appropriation. Actually the States,
on the average do much more than
match Federal funds. For the cur
rent year State appropriations
were nearly double Federal appro-
priatfons.
Comparing expenditures for ex-
tension work with other activi-
ties, Director Worburton noted that
the Government sent approximate
ly ten times as much in aid of
roads. Extension activities cost at
the rate of about 81 for each three
persons on farms or about seven
cents per capita for the whole pop
ulation. This amounts to one
twentieth of the value of farm
equipment purchased in 1927, and
about one-fifth Of one per cent of
the value of last years crops.

BANKER FOR C. T. A.

The last Issue of the bulletin,
Agricultural Commission" Am
erican Bankers Association gives
us very pointed article on ad-
vantages and need of C. T. A.
Zone cow VS.. a dozen," is the
heading of an article showing
that cows produce 100 lbs. of but
terfat year return but $14 above
feed CO st.Those producing 200 lbs.
$54 above feed cose. Those pro-
ducing over 800 lbs, 500 above
feed cost, those producing 400
lbs, $13S above feed cost. In. other
words one 400 Ib. producer will
return $40 more above feed cost
than will the entire twelve 1O0-lb.
producers. This does not take into
consideration either the added la
dor or milking and caring for the
larger herd or the much greater
expense of providing stable room
for a herd instead of a single an
imal. These figures are based on
farm prices from all parts of the
country, including whole milk dis
tricts.
These figures have been present
ed before in a rather different
way, but again bring to mind the
need Of some system of checking
the production of the cows of the
herd and the income from the herd
as whole.
In a conversation with a dairy
farmer of the White Bluffs cnun-
try last week, this farmer stated
that he felt that there were good
opportunities for making money
from the dairy herd where the
farm was so organized and the
buildings so arranged that the
work could be done without put
ting in too many long hours or
much of the work being drudgery
thru lack of proper equipment. This
farmer has good system of rcta-
ton and pasture and corn for 81
lage. We believe that the farmers
will come to program or this
kind for at least a part of the
farming.

SWEET CLOVER PASTURE

This is the time of the year
when one should be considering
carefully location of, and proper
preparation of ground for the pas
ture. Unless one is on land that
subs to such an extent thai srect
clover will not grow, there should
be no question hut what sweet clo-
Yer is the outstanding pasture crop
for this county. Where this sroT
is to be seeded, it is esse..tiai that
fal' blowing be done. This ground
nay then be seeded - rye and
.,me fall pasturage and possibly
early spring pasturage be secured
from this. About the latter part
of March, after the rye has been
closely pastured, the ground may
be rilled out and the sweet clover
broadcasted over the top and har-
rowed in lightly. The keeping of
the ground thoroly moist at the
surface until the sweet clover has
a chance to start, will help to Sc
cure good stands of sweet clover
Sweet clover NAV he seeded in the
spring without the seeding of the
rye in the fall, but the rye should
help to build up the soil and help
to hold the soil where there is a
danger of blowing. The Expert
ment station recommends seeding
one half of the pasture one year
and the other the second. This ar
rangement giving good late pas
turage on the patch seeded in that
year and good early pasturage on
the patch seeded the previous year.
Remember that sweet clover is
one of the best soil builders we
have because of the extensive root
system and the rapidity with which
it decomposes the soil.

CHANGE IN ENTERPRISE
ADVISABLE

! r. w. Turner, Extension special
ist in agricultural economics in
talking before the Commercial
Club, Thursday, stated that as a
result of a study of 80 farms in
the Yakima Valley, that it would
seem advisable for certain changes
to be made in the enterprises to
be carried upon the farm. The
Yakima Valley area includes the
area from above Ellensburg to
Pasco as generally considered, is
a great surplus producing section,
and in order to produce and mar
ket profitably, it's enterprises must
be selected which give a compare
lively concentrated production. We
are apt to look at the potato stu
alton as just a temporarily bad
situation due to local over produc-
tion, but there are other factors
which have entered into the pota-
to situation which may not be gen
orally known. One of these is the
shorter haul to Western markets
of certain of the sections which
have come into potato production,
thus sort of pushing out the Yak
ina section because of it's greater
distance from the market. This
has worked both in the Ellensburg
section and in the southern Ore
gon section. Potatoes, being bulky
products, freight rates per lb. of
product must be high.
Mr.. Turner's study covered larg-
ely dairy farms where other crops
like potatoes, corn, etc. were
grown. A comparison between po-
tatoes and corn, shows that an
acre of corn may be produced at a
cost of $27.30 including harvesting
and marketing and that the same
cost for an acre of potatoes, was
S74.O4. The total cost for the acre
seed is still more widely
divergent, being $28.10 for the
corn, and $104.04 for the potatoes.
This leaves a difference of 1884 !
in lower cost which means a big
saving in expense and Mr.. Turner
pointed out, is crop which a
farmer can take care of the lab
Or himself. While it is true that
potatoes do offer higher rates
with the present potato situation,
it should be questionable whether
one can afford to continue with
potatoes as against corn. The corn
being grown primarily for feed
to save expense of pur-
chasing feed on the dairy farm.
Just what changes should be made
IN the enterprises upon the farm
should be worked out by the farm
er himself, and the above figures
are given merely to show the pos
'ibility of one crop or another.
Mr.. Turner was in the county to
confer with the County agent on
to be held in December
IN the leading enterprises of the
county, as well as conference on
he possibilities of some work be-

these two famous veterans ever had
appeared in the same lineup cap
arisoned in the livery Of the same
ball club.
There never has been a greater
hitter or base runner, taking him
year in and year out, than Cobb,
and for all-round artistry plus a
consistency at the plate there never
has been an outfielder who meas
ured up to the gray-topped Texan.
Until George Herman Ruth
came along with his fifty-twO-
ounce bat, Cobb, then with the
Tigers, and Speaker. first with the
Red SOx and later with the In
dams, completely dominated all
discussions pertaining to the
science Of outfielding.
WHENEVER anybody felt the
w urge coming on to commit
an all-star baseball team he started
out with two players about whose
qualifications there could be no dis
pute-Cobh in right and Speaker in
center.
A part of the formula, invariably
respected was the writing of para
graph in which the claim was boldly
made that any team having Cobb
and Speaker in its lineup would
be hard to beat, or words to that
general Diollant effect
OF course, that was in the days
gone by. Cobb and Speaker are
still good, but like Mr.. Dempsey's
legs and the Tenth Avenue mule
cars, make an interesting addition
to the baseball merry go round.
Both have passed the age where
genius burns brightest in baseball
Cobb was Al III December. Speaker
will be 40 in April. Years ago, their
joint presence on any ball club
would have made that club q VIM
ming combination. Today it is diff
ferent. You hear many smart base
ball men say they will handicap the
Athletics rather than help them.
II r
Maybe so. That is another story.
I'm wondering how much more
luster Cobb and Speaker would
have added to their records if they
had come along later. Say, six
or seven years ago, when the lively
ball was just beginning to make
its imprint on the records of the
game.
Il
TOBB always was a better ball
~ player than Speaker. He was
a better hitter and a better base
runner, and while he used to be
great gate attraction he was never
the gate attraction Ruth is. think
it Is pretty safe to say there win
never be another gate attraction like
Ruth. Blending as he does, vast
personal appeal with the most ter
rife punch the game ever has
known
Ruth would have been a great ball
player under any circumstances. In
fact, he was in the process of DEM
onstrating this as a left-handed
pitcher before he turned to the
home run bat.
