ALFALFA HAY AND
FERTILIZER

Not long ago farmer of the
County called our attention to the
fact that farmers of the valley had
sold hay at $500 per ton bailed,
which means approximately $1,000 per
ten in the stack. At the same time
carloads of fertilizers are being sold
to farmers of the County.
We realize that a financial situa-
ten with an individual farmer may
make it necessary for him to dis
pose of hay even against his better
judgment. We believe, however. that
if farmers could be brought to see that
for every ton of alfalfa hay sold thai
they are selling at the present time
with the present prices Of fertilizer
$n.76 worth of fertilizer in every ton.
that there would be more serious
thought given to the feeding Of the
hay crop and the consequent saving
of the large part of this fertilizer
value on the farm. This value is based
upon the cheapest source of the vari-
Gus fertilizer ingredients, namely
nitrogen. phosphate and potash.
This looks like simple business
proposition and yet one which we
think should receive much more at
tention on, the part of the farmer.

FARM ANALYSIS RECORDS

The Farm Account Books kept by
representative farmers from over the
County have been very well kept
according to E. c. Durdle, County
Extension Agent. While all of the
records have not yet been taken up
farmers who have been visited and
their records completed and the new
records started for the coming year
have done very good job of keeping
of the records.
Some of these records were started
September l. Others October l.. still
others November, and probably the
majority of them january 1st.
These records are being kept by
farmers as & I''eans of working out
a farm analysis survey of actual coil
ditlons as related to farm business on
farms OF the County. AS soon as all
OF the records have been taken up
a farm analysis sheet will be worked
out by +. NJ. Turner. Farm Manage
n,ert Specialist at the College, fol-
lowing which ,irse records will be
returned to the farmers with the
analysis sheet and his farm business
gone over. with the idea of assisting
the farmer in answering the ques-
lions which he may have in regard
to how to increase his income, and
improve the farm business.

spL1NTERs ARE DANGEROUS

The possibility of acquiring splin-
ter wound is one which faces the
larger number of workmen in our
state who work with lumber. But even
the child at play or the housewife
at home may suffer the painful ex
perience of acquiring splinter. The
general belief that an injury from
splinter is of slight importance has
been found to be an error advises
the PUBLIC HEALTH LEAGUE
OF WASHINGTON.
Figures compiled by the Bureau of
Statistics and Information, State De-
partment of Labor. New York, and
published in the September issue of
the Industrial Hygiene Bulletin, in
dictate that a large percentage OF
wounds Of this type results in infec
ton and, in some instances, death.
A tabulation indicating the comper-
stated injuries in the year ended June
so, 1929. for that State. show that
total of 1907 cases. and deaths
were due to wood splinters and SIT
cases and one death due to metal
splinters. 1t was also found that
eighty percent of the injuries from
the wood splinters and nearly nine
ty percent of those from metal be-
came infected.
These facts are convincing proof
of the seriousness of splinter wounds
and of the need for prompt medical
attention as safeguard against in
lection. If physician is not readily
available, the injury should be treat
ed Until, iodine r1oetanhen rnerclIrO-
chrome or some other efficient anti
septic until medical care can be Sc
cured.
Instead of saying cts only splin-
ter" let us learn to say ut is a
splinter-treat the wound immedi-
ately"

CHOOSE STOCK CAREFULLY

Pigs is pigs in fiction. but on
the farm pigs are problem. The
choosing of promising looking por-
ker as the mother of next springs
pig crop will mean some tall think
ing for farmers" declares Howard
Hackadorn, head of the State College
Department of animal husbandry.
"A big, nicely balanced. well grow,
gilt will look worthy of consideration
if like produces like. But too often
the brood sow produces quality rather
than quantity. The inheritance of the
ability to produce large families is
handed down from one generation to
the next. so farmers will do well to
investigate an animals pedigree.
"Some sows produce large litters but
never seem to raise up to weaving
time profitable family for the far
mer. Three or four pigs are not
enough; it takes six or seven to pay
the bills and to furnish credit on
the right side of the ledger. Some
sows find it too much of task to
nurse their offspring. They seem to
think they have done their part in
bringing them into the world. If
the ancestors have this sort Of COM
plex, the SOW will not be a good in
vestment for the farmer.
1.-THE first litter is not always an
accurate criterion as as to the probable
number of pigs a gilt will produce.
At the State College we generally
give an animal a second chance. IT
she then proves to be flop. her
next engagement is to fill sausage
casing"
