Death Rate in Minnesota
Has Increased in Year
Fewer Births in 1928 Than i'm Pre-
ceeding Year, Statistical
Report Reveals

st. Paul, July 22.-Minnesota
had fewer births and more deaths
in 1928 than 1927 according to a
compilation announced today by
Mrs. Gerda C. Pierson, director of
the division of the vital statistics
of the state board of health.
Mrs. Persons analysis of deaths
brought out the significant fact
that tuberculosis dropped from
fifth to sixth place as cause of
death from 1927 to 1928. It fell to
fifth place in 1928 after having oc-
cupied position of even larger i'm
portance as a cause. Another i'm
portant fact was that smallpox did
not have single victim in the
state.
Her report showed that during
the last calendar year there were
1924 births, nearly twice the num-
Der of deaths which was 25,955.
But there was decrease of 1,645 in
births from 1927 when the total
was $1,000. The increase in the
number of deaths was -1,228 over
1927 when deaths totaled 24,727.
While the birth rate declined
from 1896 per 1000 people in 1927
to 1872 in 1928, the death rate in
creased from 90 to 9.53. For this
compilation the states population
is estimated to be 2,722,O00. During
the year there were 1,465 still
births, compared with 1916 in
1927.
Improved facilities for treatment
of tubercular patients, discoveries
of medical science in arresting it's
progress, and the intensive pro-
gram of public education which
has made the public conscious OF
the stealth of the diseases ap-
proach, account largely for the in
roads made on tuberculosis as a
cause of death.

over feed cost. In the 300-pound
group the return per COW was sos.
while in the 400 and 500-pound
groups, respectively, it was $131
and STA.
H. r. Searles, extension dairy
specialist, University Farm, St.
Paul, calls attention to the fact
that the feed cost advanced about
$1,000 for each 100-pound increase
in butterfat per COW. Due to the
needs for body maintenance, the
first 100 pounds of butterfat costs
$34 in feed, but for each 100 pounds
additional the increased cost is
only $40 or $11. It is this fact that
is chiefly responsible for the larg-
er net returns obtained from high
producing cows. The labor is
about the same for low producing
COW as for a high producing one,
as are also certain fixed charges
such as shelter, interest, and insur-
ance.
According to Mr.. Searles, two
factors limit the production of
dairy cows. The first of these is
the ability of the cow as determin-
ed by her breeding, and second, the
care and feed which she receives.
He advises keeping only good cows
and feeding them well, stating that
the fewer cows through which a
given amount of feed is put the
greater will be the net return.

the flock. Repeated cuttings at
frequent intervals are recommend
ed.
In culling, Miss Cooke advises
avoiding frightening the hens and
recommends running the birds in.
to a shipping coop before trying to
catch them. Early molters will not
necessarily prove to be poor layers
because some of them will mott un-
usually quick and be back on the
job early. In general, however,
these birds will prove to be poor
in other respects. Much can be
learned from studying the heads
and removing the crow headed and
snakey headed ones, and those
having coarse, beefy heads or pale
listless ones. Sleepy eyed individ-
uals and diseased birds should al
SO be culled out.

Culling and Feeding
Determine Egg Output

Detcrmlno Egg output
Variation in egg production
among fiocks entered in the farm
poultry record project Of the agri-
cultural extension service empha-
size the Importance of feeding and
culling in summer egg production,
says Miss Cora e. Cooke, extension
poultry specialist, University Farm,
st. Paul.
The latest figures available, show
ing the results for May, reveal a
difference of more than 100 per
cent between the average produc-
ton of eggs per hen among poul-
try record flocks and the lowest
production, while the difference be-
tweetn the average production and
highest is more than IS per cent.
Average production was 1876 eggs
per hen, while the lowest was 90
and the highest 24.9. This varia-
ton, says Miss Cooke, is more sig
niffcant, since the focks entered
average considerably higher than
the general level, both as to the
kind of stock and the care and
feeding methods used.
One of the most common mis-
takes in summer feeding, according
to Miss Cooke, is failure to supply
suitable mash feed in abundance.
AS regards culling, many poultry
owners fail to realize the advis-
ability of culling early and often,
many of them putting off culling
until the majority of the flock has
reached the close of the laying per-
iod. Best results may be obtained
by culling early in the season, since
good prices may be obtained at
this time for the discarded hens,
while the feed saved will help pay
the bills for the laying members of

Permits Are Required for
Oversize Load on Road
State Law Limits Size and Weight
of Vehicles Using Public
Thoroughfares

Every few days some truck or
trailer outfit comes along the high
way which causes people to in
quire whether such outfits are per-
mitted by the State traffic act. A
highway bulletin this week gives a
summary of the law on size and
weight limits. Large loads may
be moved only on special permits.
The maximum width permitted
by law is eight feet, except farm
tractors, which may be nine feet.
The limit does not apply to loads
of loose hay and corn stalks, inn
plements of husbandry and ditch
ing equipment temporarily moved
over the road.
No vehicle except semi-trailer
may exceed 35 feet and no train
of vehicles may exceed rs feet.
Previous to 1929 the limit was IS
feet, and equipment which COM
piled with the old law may be used
until Nov. 80, 1880. The maximum
height is II feet 6 inches. No load
may extend more than three feet
in front of the vehicle. No load on
a passenger vehicle shall extend
beyond the left fender line, nor
more than Is inches beyond the
right fender line.
No load, including the vehicle,
may exceed $4,000 pounds, nor more
tina 22,400 pounds on one axle, nor
more than 300 pounds per inch
width of tire on any wheel, meas
ured between the flanges of the
rim. Lesser load limits are posted
on many bridges and on many
highways in the spring.
Permits for larger loads should
be obtained from a district MAIN
tenxnce superintendent, if the pro-
posed trip is over trunk highways.
If the trip is over state aid or
county roads, application should be
made to the county highway engi-
neer. The permit will specify a
route where the load will not DAM
age the highway or any bridges,
nor seriously endanger other traf-
| fic.

American Farm Incomes
Show Yearly Increase
u. S. Survey Indicates Best Con-
ditiOns Since the War-Net
Profit $1,334

Washington, July 22.-The best
farm returns for any since the
postwar agricultural depression
are reported in the annual survey
for 1928 issued by the department
of agriculture.
The reports from 1851 owner
operated farms in 1928 showed an
average net return of 1884 while
1889 farms in 1927 reported an
average return of 81 ,290.
The survey showed 26 per cent
of the farms reporting returns be-
tween $1,000 and $1,000, As per
cent reporting returns of zero to
$1,000 and 9 per cent reporting
losses.
BY geographical divisions, the
survey said, the largest increase
during 1928 over 1927 were in the
South Central states, IA per cent;
West North Central, 10 per cent
and East North Central, 8 per cent.
Returns for the Western section
showed little change over 1927.
Gross receipts were larger on the
average in 1928 than in 1927 but
expenses were also higher, the
survey said.
Z The average size of farms report
ing was 284 acres, with an aver.
age investment of $15,417, both
size and capital investment being
larger than the census average. No
tenant farms were included in the
survey.
Average gross receipts were ST.
COS, consisting of $946 from sales
of crops, 1896 from sales of live
stock, $3.50 from sale of livestock
products and $37 from other items.
Average current expenses totaled
$1,51S, including 1894 for labor
$23S for livestock purchased, 1882
for feed purchased, $67 for fertilizer
SAG for seed, $184 for taxes on farm
property and 1927 for other items.

That high butterfat production
per COW is an outstanding factor in
dairy profits is strikingly shown
in some results taken from 40

according to production and feed
costs and returns computed for
each group, the returns being fig

Cows producing 100 pounds of
