Dairy Income

The cash income of farmers from
sales of milk and milk products in
1892 Is estimated at a little less
than a billion dollars ($9S5, ,099. .000). E..
Adding to this the value of the
milk. cream, and butter used in
households on the farms where pro-
duced, gives a gross income from
dairy products in 1882 of about one
and a quarter billion dollars Isl ,260,-
424,0OO). With the prices of most
farm products declining even faster
than the prices of dairy products,
the proportion Of the total income Of
farmers derived from milk increased
from 1917 per cent in 1929 to 24la
per cent in 1882. If allowance is
made for the value of the milk cows
and the calves Of milk cows sold or
slaughtered in 1892, the total income
of farmers from dairying was close
to 81. .400,00O,000 or about 27 per
cent of the income from all farm
products. - United States Bureau

TO GET 1T DONE
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH

THOUGH doing something here
l. and there
Around the house takes thought
and care
And time and strength. the greater
task
Is not TO do II but to ask.
Though doing something seems to
be
A burden, we shall learn to see
There always is a greater one,
And that is getting something done.
There always is a thing or two
Around the house the rest could do,
81 wish you'd fix this matter here"
If they would only just refuse
We'd save a lot of time we lose:
Would say they won't. we'd go
ahead;
Alas. they say they will instead.
And, making this better earth,
Their promises have equal worth.
Whoever may perceive the need
Must do the thinking, then the
deed
The rest our wisdom may approve
But always nod and never move.
We must not ask of anyone,
Must do a thing to get it done.

NOT ALL EGGS ARE
CLASSED GRADE "a"
Quality Changes Rapidly to
Still Lower Type.

An egg is never better or freSher
than when 1t Is first laid, but not
all eggs are grade A when they
are laid, according to Prof. ii. e.
Botsford of the New York State Col
lege of Agriculture. One hen may
lay grade B eggs consistently while
another may lay Grade A eggs. An
egg may mature. he explains, and
be ready to be laid just after the
bird has gone to roost in the eve
ming and be held in the hens body
until the following morning. Sew
eral hours at a temperature of i05
to 1O7 degrees Fahrenheit may
change the quality grade or more.
Regardless of the quality Of an
egg when it Is laid, this quality
changes rapidly toward still lower
grade, unless something is done to
check the move. Eggs are like milk
In perishability. except that they
do not go bad so quickly. The
changes In eggs are dl1erent anu
just as important to quality. Low
temperatures are important to hold
ing quality In both eggs and milk.
Frequent gathering and storage
in cool place help to keep egg
quality high, he says. And then, if
the eggs are shipped at least twice
a week. the quality of the pack is
more likely to be high-grade. If the
poultryman has enough eggs for
twice-a-week shipping. 1t will pay
to sort the eggs according to size
and interior quality. and to pack
each size in strong. clean cases with
clean flats and filters.

Free Choice of Grain
and Mash Is Good Plan

Giving pullets on range free
choice of grain and mash is a good
practice, according to C. NJ. Fergu-
son, specialist In poultry for the
agricultural extension service at the
Ohio State university.
Here at the University farm" he
says. I'VE have been carrying our
pullets on an all-mash ration con-
tanning 10 per cent dried milk and
s per cent meat scrap until they are
from twelve to fourteen weeks old.
At that time we have been reducing
the milk to 4 per cent, leaving 8
per cent meat scrap in the ration
and continuing to use an all-mash
feed This method has given us
very satisfactory results but may
not be applicable to all farm con-
ditions, particularly farms produc
ing their own grains"
If the poultryman has his own
corn and wheat. the ration could be
left unchanged and the pullets
given free choice Of grain mixture
Of wheat and corn In addition to
their mash containing 10 per cent
milk and s per cent meat scrap. This
method of feeding is gaining con-
siderable prominence even for lay
ing fiocks.
At the present price Of milk, Fer
gusOn points out. many farmers are
turning to the use of the skinned
produce as means Of saving some
cash outlay for protein concentrates.

Alfalfa, Clover
Bring Late Crops
To Be Used Where Chinch
Bugs Have Riddled the
Corn and Barley.
BY J. c. Hackleman, Crop Extension
Specialist, College OF Agriculture.
University of Illinois
WNIT Sar,rlcn

Extensive areas in central and
north central Illinois where chinch
bugs have ruined the corn or barley
crops can best be planted to alfalfa
or red clover. Planting these le-
gumes not only would put a crop
on land that otherwise would be
idle and costly, but also would be
in line with the national agricul-
tural adjustment program, which is
designed to reduce the acreage of
grain crops. Illinois farmers al
ready have adjusted their cropping
systems to the point where they
are growing million acres more
of legumes than they were In 1910
1914, but the acreage can be vastly
extended by seeding alfalfa and red
clover on land where the corn or
barley has been riddled by the
chinch bugs, provided the soil is
adapted.
1t Is important that soil condi-
tions in the field be known before
either alfalfa or red clover is seed
ed. The land must be sweet and
must have a sufficient amount of
phosphorus. Simple tests are avail
able for determining this. The seed
bed already has been prepared and
by occasional additional cultiva-
tions can be kept in excellent con-
dition for seeding. Red clover and
alfalfa can be seeded In mid-sum-
mer. This will help to solve the
problem of crop acreages and will
make it materially easier for farm
ers to put a crop adjustment pro-
gram into effect for 1884.
Choosing something to replace
corn that has been ruined by
chinch bugs is doubly difficult be-
cause the crop must be one that is
immune to the bugs and that can,
at the same time, be planted at late
date. Sudan grass and millets,
which could be seeded at this sea-
son of the year, are out of the
question because they are highly
favored foods of chinch bugs.
About the only cash grain crop
available at this date is buckwheat
This will yield from ten to as many
as twenty-five bushels to the acre
depending upon soil fertility and
seasonal conditions. The best va.
rieties are japanese and Silver
Hull.

Finds Phosphates of
u. S. Worth Billions

The $30O,OOO,00O worth of phos-
phate rock which the phosphate de-
posits of the United States have
yielded to date Is a small item COM
pared to the total phosphate re-
sources of this country. Workers
of the bureau of chemistry and soils
have completed a survey of Amer
ica's phosphate resources which has
been published by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
They estimate American phosphate
resources at 6,20O,OO0,OOO long tons,
worth approximately $1S,OOO,O00,0O0.
Because the phosphate deposits Of
the United States form it's most val
liable natural fertilizer resource,
and because phosphate fertilizers
are used more widely and in great
er quantities by American farmers
than fertilizers containing other
plant-food elements, these findings
are Of interest to farmers and fer
tilizer manufacturers.
This survey discloses the occur
renee, production, and reserves OF
phosphate rock in the United
States and presents detailed in
formation on their chemical compO-
sition which indicates the COM
parative value Of all the domestic
varieties of phosphate rock that are
of compercial Importance at the
present time.
