Exchanging Best Products

MOSCOW-By exchanging its best

boarded valuables, the Soviet govern
ment has found way to get gold
which in the past it could not obtain
by force.
In previous years it was a crime for
any Soviet citizen to have gold in his
possession. particularly roubleS OF the
Czarist regime But many persons,
especially peasants, hid their precious
metals.

Faced in recent months with increas-
ing demands for gold with which TO
meet i3relgn obligations, the govern
ment threw open the doors Of "Torgsm
to all owners Of the yellow metal.
"TorGSin" is a chain of stores in
which .ne best of Soviet food supplies
and manufactured articles are sold to
foreigners only. Here prices are on a
par with those In other countries and
often lower than those charged for in
ferior merchandise in stores operated
for Soviet citizens.
Heretofore, Russians were not per-

Mixing Corn in Field

The safe distance of separation to
prevent the mixing of corn depends
very largely on the amount of wind
and the prevailing wind. Corn pol
len is very light and in windy wealth
er may be blown quite a long dis
tance. 1t all depends on how far
the wind will blow the pollen.
Sometimes two kinds of corn plant
ed in the same field may mix, where
the first half dozen rows of each
kind come near each other and the
end of the field from which the
prevailing wind blows keeps almost
entirely free from mixture. That
is, if the strongest wind is from the
north or west, that end of the field
is much more likely to be free from
mixture than the other.-Rural New
Yorker.

Results Achieved When
Feeding for Baby Beef

Some interesting facts concerning
the differences in feeding beef steer
calves and beef heifer calves for
baby beef have recently been an
nounced by the Illinois experiment
station. Five months of full feeding
will ordinarily put heifer calves in
the best condition for slaughter,
whereas, with steer calves, seven
months is usually required.
The Illinois experiments proved
quite definitely that at 700 pounds
in weight the baby beef heifers are
fully equal if not somewhat supe-
rior to baby steers. At 900 pounds
in weight, however, the baby steers
have a slight advantage, because by
that time the heifers are slightly
overdone.
1t would seem, from the Illinois
experiments, that a definite effort
should be made to educate the pack
ers to the fact that discrimination
against baby beef heifers at 700
pounds in weight Is not in any way
warranted, and even at 900 pounds
in weight, the price discrimination
should be very little.-Montreal

Larger Legume Acreage
for Fertility of Soil

An ambitious program is spon-
sored by the State College of Agri-
culture for Kentucky, involving an
increased acreage of alfalfa, sweet
clover and soy beans. The objec-
tive is a million acres of each Of
these legumes, in addition to which
there will be heavy seeding of les
pedeza and other clOvers suited to
the South. Restoration of soil fer
tility is given as the main reason
for restoring to legumes, though IT
is not the only gain that will come
to the farmer. Regardless Of pres
ent prices. which are by no means
favorable to the grain growers. the
safest policy is to include live stock
in the farm program and to grow
feed in sufficient quantity to provide
for them. Balanced rations cannot
easily be prepared without red
clover, alfalfa or the more recent
Introduction. soy bean.
Having obtained a good stand Of
clover or alfalfa the labor cost,
compared with grains, are conSid-
erably less, and in this way eX-
penses are kept down. The expert
ence Of others in the neighborhood
Is the safest guide in choosing a
legume While each has its advan-
tages there are limiting factors TO
be kept in mind. Were alfalfa suit
cd to all localities it might be gen
orally recommended. If it does not
thrive, there are cloyers and vetches
that will do very well in its stead.
BY all means give legumes n more
prominent place. both for present
results and future improvement of
the land.-Exchange
