SEVENTH YEAR OF TON
LITTER WORK STARTED

Litters narrowed between Febru-
airy 20 and June can be entered in
the seventh annual Minnesota ton
litter contest, which will again be
directed by H. G. Zavoral, livestock
specialist of the university, assisted
by Minnesota county agents. The
aim is to produce ton or more OF
pork from a single litter in 18O days.
Enrollments can be made with county
agents or with Mr.. Zavoral at Uni
versity Farm.
There are no entry fees to pay in
this contest, and the county agents
and specialist can be called upon for
information and counsel at any time.
Swine growers, young and old, big
and little, have much to gain and
nothing to lose by taking part. Farm,
Stock and Home Of Minneapolis will
give a gold medal to the producer of
the heaviest litter in each county re-
presented and a free trip to the In
ternational Livestock Exposition to
the winner of the contest. The Farm
er of St. Paul will award gold watches
to the novice and to the club mem
Der doing the best in their classes.
Substantial cash purses will be paid
owners of the heaviest filters by the
Minnesota Livestock Breeders As
ISOLATION.
Year by year since 1928, when the
project was started, the ton litter
contest has demonstrated that the
saving and full feeding of good sized
filters spell profit for the growers.
Big litters Of early farrow pigs have
a market advantage, for they can be
marketed in September when prices
are usually the best. Last year 80
filters were brought forward to a ton
or more each within the $50 days.
The number of pigs in the 80 filters
averaged 11.6, as compared with an
average of 81 to the litter on the
farms at large in the state.
Ton litter work makes for a quick
turnover, for less likelihood of losses
by disease, and for higher returns,
particularly in the case Of early born
pigs.

FARM POPULATION SMALLEST
IN TWENTY YEARS

The farm population Of the United
States is now the smallest in twenty
years, reports the Bureau Of Agri-
cultural Economies, u. S. Department
of Agriculture, which estimates the
farm population of 27,511 900 persons
on January l., 1929 as compared with
peak of 100000 persons in 1909.
The bureaus estimate also shows a
decrease in farm population during
the past year despite improved agri-
cultural conditions and slight slack
ening in industrial employment, the
January 1, 1929, figure comparing
with a farm population of 1883, 1000
persons on January /, 1928.
The decrease in farm population
the past year would have been much
greater were it not Offset by an
excess of births over deaths, the
figures revealing that in the move
ment of population from and to
farms, 100000 persons left farms
during the year, and 10000 persons
moved from cities to farms.
The movement away from farms
slowed somewhat during the year as
compared with Immediately preceding
years, but the movement from cities
to farms was also smaller. Thus it
is shown that 100000 persons left
farms during the past year, compared
with 1,987,000 in 1927, and with
2,155, 900 in 1926. The movement
from cities to farms was 100000
persons last year, 1,374,O00 in 1927,
and 1,135,000 in 1926.
The large farm birth rate of %
births per 1000 persons and small
death rate of 8 death per 1000 per-
sons has been large factor offsetting
the farm to city movement, so that
the net loss Of farm population last
year was $4,000 persons, compared
with 10000 in 1927, and with 649,-
900 in 1926.
The bureaus figures show that in
the New England States $4,000 per-
sons left the farms last year and
$4,000 went to farms; Middle At
lantic States 10000 person from
farms and $4,000 persons to farms;
East North Central 100000 from
farms and 218,000 to farms; West
North Central 1890 from farms
and $4,000 to farms; South Atlantic
100000 from farms and 100000 to
farms; East South Central $4,000
from farms and 10000 to farms;
West South Central $4,000 from
farms and 100000 to farms; Noun
tain $4,000 from farms and $4,000
to farms; Pacific $4,000 from farms
and 5000 to farms.

raised the quota of $500 necessary,
but went far over the top. A Scout

ing of this week, and at which T. O.

NEW ULM AGAIN RE-
JECTS BIDS FOR TRUCK

Whether the city of New Ulm will
purchase new fire truck still re-
mains a mystery, for at the special
meeting of the council last week, at
which time bids were received for a
new 600-gallon pumper, all bids were
again rejected. It was another of
those stormy and hectic sessions and
lasted well towards the midnight
hour, says the New Ulm Review.
The neighboring city seems to be
having about as much trouble in de-
Gliding the purchase of fire truck
as they did a year or two ago when
the matter of snow pillow was car
ried to the district court.

Dairy Specialist Tells About Herd
Improvement


One of the surest methods for in
creasing the profits made from a
dairy herd is to use a purebred bull,
raise the heifers from the best COWS
and in this way increase the ability of
he herd to produce more milk and
atterfat, according to J. A. Conover,
dairy specialist for the University of
Maryland Extension Service, who
further declares that a survey made
recently of one of Marylands coun-
ties showed that there were only 1870
purebred bulls in use although six
hundred milk shippers were listed in
the county.
Mr.. Conover declares that herd i'm
provement records show that in herds
averaging two hundred pounds of
butterfat or less almost any purebred
. bull will increase production. How
ever, as the production of the herd in
creases, fewer bulls will be found
that will increase production in their
daughters over the daughters dams.
Hence not more than forty per cent
of the bulls in use in the herds of the
herd improvement members have the
ability to increase production in their
aughters when the daughters come
rom dams making three hundred and
fly pounds Of butterfat
A dairyman should, therefore. exer-
Use great care in selecting a bull He
should know something about the
average production of his herd, the
lowest producers and the highest.
Having determined this, he is in
much better position to make wise
selection Of the bull of the breed that
he prefers.
He should select an aged bull, of
good type and conformation, whose
daughters have made records that are
higher than those Of the cows in his
own herd. He should select a bull
whose nearest dams have made high
ecords, or whose sisters have made
UGH records and it would be wise to
ook into the record Of the dams en-
ire family.
With such precaution there is every
ssurance that improvement would

Forestry Councils Hold Meetings

Forestry Councils Hold Meetings
In an effort to continue the move
ment started last year for the refor-
estation of Maryland's rapidly dimin-
ishing woodland, meetings were held
= st week in a number Of counties in
. e State for the Purpose of review
ing the work of the past year and
planning the program for 1880. Meet
ings were held in Dorchester, Wicom-
leo, Caroline and Hartford counties,
according to F. B. Trenk, forestry
specialist for the University of Mary
land Extension Service who is in
charge of the work. Mr.. Trenk is
directing the reforestation work
through County Forestry Councils,
composed of interested individuals in
the counties involved Aid is being
given Mr.. Trenk by members of the
State Forestry Association and a
number OF county agents. Last year
more than 100000 trees were planted
in the four counties mentioned, as
well as Carroll and Talbot counties.
Although lumber is somewhat
cheaper now than it has been in re-
cent years, this condition is due pri-
marily to the fact that the Panama
Canal offers a route for Pacific Coast
timber to be brought here cheaper
than it can be produced in this State.
This condition, Mr. Trenk points out,
is only temporary one and it is but
a matter of time before the entire
country will be suffering from a
shortage of timber that will prove
serious.
Maryland is in the same position
as the rest Of the States in this res
pect and one of the means for solv-
ing the problem lies in the reforesta-
ton of land that is no longer prof.
table to cultivate. At the present time
there are in the State approximately
10000 acres Of such land. The diff
Guilty which faces those interested is
to locate the acreage suitable for
planting and to convince the owners
of the practicability Of the plan. For
this reason forestry councils were
organized in each Of the six counties
