Cutting Costs of
Poultry and Eggs

Success with poultry today depends
upon getting production costs IN iihe
with the low market prices OF poui-
try and eggs. There are many lac
TORS entering into production COSTS

consideration. Just as lmportah. d.
reducing production costs is the mar
keting of the products to the pes'
advantage. na

Discussions on Federal, State. County,
And Other Taxes TO be Presented
In June

The farm tax situation and what
to do about it will receive the atten-
ton of Ohio farmers during June
and July when n series a discussions
on federal, state and county taxes
are presented by specialists in the
department of rural economics at
the Ohio State University from the
state-owned radio station WEAO, ac-
cording to officials at the college OF
agriculture.
In launching the series of tax dis

Dairy Trends in Ohio

Tho census reported $4,000 cows
lant for milk in Ohio in 1910, 9l6,-
ooo head in 1920, and 100000 head
in 1880. The milk production report
ed in 1909 was 306,0o0,oO0 gallons;
i 1919 it was 348,OO0,0Oo, and IN
1929 it was 454,0O0,000 gallons, ac-
cording to J. l. Falconer, Chief Oh
the Department of Rural Economies
at the Ohio Experiment Station.
While the total number OF milk
cows in the state shows a decrease
when 1929 is compared with 1919
this decrease in number IS confined
tn northeastern Ohio and TO the
counties around Cincinnati in the
southwest. Cuyahoga, Geauga ana
Lake counties alone showed a de-
crease sufficient to account Tor the
etate decrease. In these northeast
ern counties the expansion OF the
nrhan area and the tendency TO-
some of the poorer areas TO go out
OF use led many W
dairy industry. Others switched
from dairying to poultry. Ten coun-
tics in this area showed a total de-
crease of $4,000 milk cows, or x
per cent decrease in number, IRON
1920 to 1880. In other areas OF the
state dairying increased, especially
in the central and west central anc
southeastern Ohio counties.
Of the total milk produced IN the
state in 1909, about 32 per cent was
sold as whole milk; in 1919 it was
40 per cent, and in 1929 it was 5o
nor cent. Whole milk sales, there
fore. more than doubled during tn
period. This largely represents an
increase in the sale of market mix
as comparatively little milk in the
state is sold to creameries, cheese
factories, or to milk product mand-
featuring plants. There are few
eondenseries in northwestern ONO,
but these consume probably not over
5 per cent of the total milk produc-
ton Of the state.
In the territory more distant
from a city market or transporta-
tion, butterfat sales have increased
Little milk is now brought into the
creameries for butter production; II
is largely sent from the farm as
cream.
In 1909 there were 64,0000GO
pounds of butter made on Ohio
farms; in 1929, 14,500,000 pounds.
The amount Of farm butter sold was
100000 pounds in 1909 and 6,000,-
900 pounds in 1929.

r SPRAY LEAVES ON BOTH +
+ SIDES +

Often a gardener is surprised and
disgusted when he finds after
spraying his plants that the bug
still seem to prevail. The reason
usually is that the method of spray
ing was faulty and as result the
plant in all likelihood was not more
than half sprayed, the half missed
being the favorite half of the insect
pests. This is the underside Of the
leaves.
Thorough and effective spraying
demands that particular attention be
directed to hitting the under side of
the leaves. That is where the plant
lice or aphides congregate and breed.
That is where the so-called worms"
or "slugs" caterpillars of some insect
do their work. You must thoroughly
spray the under side of the leaves
to make spraying effective. Merely
drenching the upper surface OF the
leaves will not eliminate the insect
pests.
An excellent plan is to start from
the base of the plant and spray up
ward, hitting the undersides Of the
leaves thoroughly Then hit the up
per surfaces. In contact poisons the
insect must be hit with the spray
material to be killed. With arsen-
ical poisons this is not necessary,
but enough should be spread so that
the feeding insect or worms" will
get good mouthful of it.
Sprays which operate by air pres
sure are the most effective, distrib-
uting the poison with less effort,
few strokes Of the piston compress
inp enough air to send the spray
over large surface. For small
plants or small gardens hand spray
ing outfits with a mason fruit jar
as a container for the poison are
handy and efficient. The piston
must be operated continuously IN
these to distribute the spray.
All forms of plant lice, and they
come in variety of color from black
to green and white, are killed with
nicotine sprays, a contact poison.
They must be hit by the tobacco So
htion. One shot with tobacco juice
or the nicotine Of proprietary pois-
ons such as black leaf 40, the plant
louise is done for. Plant lice are
sucking insects.
Chewing and biting insects such as
the various worms" or "slugs ana
beetles such as potato bugs, must
have arsenic to finish them. ms

To produce corn for 25 cents a
bushel, the yield per acre must ap-
proach 70 bushels, according to cost
records kept by aspiring members
to the 100-bushel corn club of Ohio.
OF the 55 farmers who last year
checked their corn yields officially,
the men who raised from 70 to 90
bushels of corn an acre produced
the crop for 21.7 cents. Those who
exceeded 80 bushels raised their
crops at cost of 165 cents a
bushel, and a few who produced more
than 10 bushels per acre found their
cost to be 1873 cents.

Cut Clover Early
For Feeding Value

The growing of crops of high
feeding value for livestock consump-
ton on the farm should receive Sc
rious consideration as one means Of
reducing the expense of purchased
concentrates, says l.. E. Thatcher,
Associate in Agronomy at the Ohio
Experiment Station Much improve
ment in the feeding value Of hay can
be brought about by harvesting be-
fore the approach of maturity has
decreased the protein and increased
the crude fiber content.
In general, red clover and red
clover mixtures are harvested for
hay when past the full-bloom stage,
at time when few Of the heads
are turning brown. At that stage,
the crop cures somewhat more read
ily than if cut earlier because the
plants are less sappy. Also, if tim
othy is sown with the clover, there
is tendency to allow the timothy
TO reach full development before cut
ting the mixture, which carried the
red clover beyond the full-bloom
stage.
Evidence is accumulating, however,
which indicates that earlier cutting
than this customary one will yielu
hay of higher feeding value. Alfalfa
has a well-deseryed reputation for
high protein content, but DR.. &. j..
Willard, Associate Agronomist, has
recently called attention to the fact
that if red clover is cut at the same
time as alfalfa, it will have as high
a protein content. The main, if not
the only, reason that red clover hay
is usually lower in protein than al
falfa hay is because the first cutting
of red clover is usually made about
two weeks later than the first cut
ting of alfalfa. When cut at the
full bloom stage, red clover will yield
practically as much hay as If cut
later.
The timothy in q red clover-tim-
othy mixture also has a higher pro-
tein content if cut when the clover
is in full bloom than if cut later.
Experiments under way in sheep
feeding by D. S. Bell at Wooster are
showing that early cut timothy IS
valuable roughage whereas late cut
timothy is an inferior roughage foi
sheep. Early cutting of the clover
timothy mixture would seem logical.
If the mixture is one Of red clovei
and alsike with OF without timothy,
the stage of development of alsike
may be disregarded and the time to
cut determined by the stage OF de
velopment of the red clover.
Although it may be somewhat
more difficult to cure early cut req
clover or mixtures, the improvement
in the feeding value Of the hay GER
tainly justified the attempt.
Earl cutting Of red clover IS also
favorable to seed production IN the
second crop. 1t is probable that red
clover seed production would DC
greatly stabilized in this state i
early cutting of red clover became
general.

Chicago Wheat

Chicago, Oct 2G-(UP)-Decem- Der wheat dropped to-day to the lowest price at which any future has sold on the Chicago board of trade since futures trading began 70 years ago.
 At A 1-8 cents bushe1, Decem- ber wheat set new, all-time low.
 Earlier in the day, the same de- livery dropped to A 1-2 cents a hushel, an all time low up to that time. The drop occurred on a fresh influx of selling orders.
 Winnipeg's price for December wheat plunged to 46 1-2 cents, an all time low there.
 Selling orders piled up overnigh. and swamped the wheat pits. Traders, disspirited by a drop to AZ IA cents a bushel in the price of December wheat at Winnipeg also a new all-time low record made only desultory efforts to stor the landslide.
 After the plunge to the lowest levels, prices edged back fraction. ally, both on the board of trade and at Winnipeg.
 All futures opened at new lowi for the season on the board oi trade. The quotations were: De cember, 45 to 45 1-2 cents. un' changed to 3-s cents lower; May 50 1-2. off 1-2 cent; July. b1 3-4 off 3-S.
