Say Pig Passes
) All Farm Stock
In Quick Growth

The pig is the fastest-gro"lng
farm animal. and the greatest
croft in pork production calls for
maximum growth at an early age,
savs H. w. Taylor, swine extern
sion specialist al State college.
In this growth, he explains,
home development is just as impor-
tant as flesh formation. Unless
the PIG. receives adequate calcium
and phosphorus, either the rate Of
growth will be delayed or, more
usually, increase in weight VIII
continue normally until the under
nourished bones can no longer
support the added flesh.
Then a breakdown occurs. The
weak bones snap in two, the ten
dons break, or the joints are at
fected. In all instances the pig
becomes lame, gradually loses the
use Of it's legs, falls off in weight,
and finally dies unless relief IS
given through change in ration.
Taylor says knowledge Of. the
mineral needs of farm animals has
increased markedly during the
past few years, both by expert
ment and practical observations
on farms. Some of the earlier be-
liefs have been modified, and new
solutions to problems found.

Dr.. Anderson explains. "The at

The value of, terracing in keep
ing soil on moderate slopes from
washing has been proved in MANY
parts of the country. Terraces
usually are built on land with no
more than Upper cent slope.
In one case unterraccd land lost
soil at the rate of Ga tons an acre
each year. On similar land ter
raced. the soil loss was a little
more than two tons an acre. In
another test, unterraced land lost
from eight to 10 times more soll
per acre. g.
Another value Of terraces, in re-
gions where rainfall is scanty, is
that they hold moisture as well as
soil. Numerous tests show that as
much as so per cent more water
runs off unterraced fields. Crop
yields also are increased on ter
raced fields, after the second
wear, the increases being much
greater after several years.
The soil conservation service
finds that terraces should not be
much over a quarter Of mile in
length. Shorter terraces generally
conserve moisture and retard
washing better than long terraces.

MANY FARMERS INCREASING
ATTENTION TO PASTURES; If
NEGLECTED THEY ARE COSTLY

Experiments have shown that by
applying a complete fertilizer OF
lime, PHOSPHORUS, potash and nj
trogen the yields of grass have
been doubled and sometimes
tripled
Experiments extending over
period of FIVE years have shown
that when rOtational grazing was
pIacticed 1.3l acres of unIertl-
lied pasture was enough to mann
tain a haifer weighing 900 pounds
over a grazing season of five ana
a half months. When fertilizer
was used along with rotauonal
grazing, .S5 acre was enough for
each heifer.
There are three methods that
have made good in increasing pas
ture yields: CD Applying a com
plete fertili2er; 90 Rotational
grazing; CD Establishing legumes
along with grass. Some supple
mentary pastures of Sudan grass
for midsummer grazing have
proved very satisfactory where
there is no legume combination
available.

Stuart Chase Declares Ma
ture in Revolt on This
Continent

NEW YORK, Sept. 20. (UP).-
The trouble with this country,
Stuart Chase, economist, says,
has been the concept of intinlty.
That concept explains why the
area of the United States, once
forest and grass covered, teemlng
with wild life, criss-crossed with
clear running, fish+filled streams,
now experiences dust storms,
Gried-up artesian wells, gully
scared hillsides and ugly, muddy,
waste-polluted rivers. .
Ever since this lush continent
was exposed to their crcduIous
gaze of the European, fresh from
starved and weary land, the ma
jolity Of its population has pc
iievcd and preached that natural
resources here were without emo;
"What if a forest was leVeled
here. or a field quilted there!
Move on, brother, move on; the
great open spaces beckon," was
the cry, Chase writes in his book,
"Rlch ana GOOf l-aIu'
CALL NATURE IN REVOLT
1t is that attitude applied to
soil. forests, oil, coal, water and
minerals that Chase calls "the con
cent of infinity." The results, he
writes. has been the depletion OF
natural resources until mature
revolted' and dust storms, drouth
and floods signalled the end OF an
epoch. ,.o.

resources and the possibilities N

Among the, agricultural COM

The competition of foreign cotton
from new foreign producing areas

port markets also has provoked
widespread political discussion, IN
view of the price-sustalnlng effects
of cotton policies here. T..
All expert analysis here of in
ternational trade in these COM
modities takes into account the
overshadowing effects of the sum-
mer's drouth, with the major fact
that the indicated U. S. produe-
ton of all feed grain, including
corn, oats and barley will be only
about 58,000,000 tons compared
with an average of about 100,-
100000 tons annually in 1923-32.

predicted, as the smallest in SIS
years. ...

'cede the probability of U. S. I'M

The livestock feed situation may
become more severe late-in 1886
or 1887 than it was after the 1884
drouth, and the differential be-
tween United States domestic and
Argentine corn prices will be more
than the 25-cent import duty. Ar
gentina is expected to have 200,-
100000 bushels from the 1886
crop available for export as COM
pared with S0,000,000 bushels in

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 (Of)
Bureau of Agricultural Economies

the claim that larger agricultural
IMPORTS in the past two years have
in the main been an effect of re-
viving prosperity and higher prices
rather than a cause Of INJURY 10
the nations landSmen. .,
Statistics were produced, in the
face of partisan attacks, to show
that, DESPITE abnormal needs due
70 drouth in 1884 and 1886, total
agricultural imports are still Tar
below pre-depresSion levels. 1t was
alleged also that a considerable
share of current imports are d.
rectlv to the advantage of Ameri-
can farmers and liveStockmen, as
for example the arrivals of for
eign corn for livestock feed.
The total of all United States
agricultural imports, including the
tropical products, was given at
S1.073.OO0,OOO in 1885, compared
with the depression Glow" OF
S668. 100000 in 1882, and the
pre-depression high of S2,415,-
100000 in. 1926.
The 1885 agricultural imports
were sub-divided into non-com-
petitive commodities, such as rub
Der, raw silk, coffee, tea, cocoa,
and spices, valued at $483,OOO,-
900. and competitive products
valued at $59O,00O,O00.
The competitive" commodities
included all farm articles which
were in any degree competitive
with home-produced goods, and
the total of $590,000,00O COM
pared with the depression low
! of $296,0OO,000 in 1882 and the
pre-depression high" If $1,O17,-
100000 in 1929.
The valuation of some ,lmpor-
tant non-competitive commodities
imports i'm 1885 as compared with
1928 included: Sugar, 1888, $780,
coo against S2O9, 100000; vegeta-
bic oils, $53,3OO,000 against S62,-
100000; hides and skins, $40, $780,

Major causes for improved I'M
ports were said to be the deficits
e., in feed grains resulting from the
ll934 drouth, and the fact that
with higher prices in this country
| foreign goods naturally sought the
more favorable marketing oppor-
tunity. Average prices paid to

varied in different months from
