ture. from lightweight replies to
hundred questionnaires sent to.
shcepmen of California over period
of three years. These tabulated
replies were presented TO shecpmcn

The seven factors are: Maintain
ewes in good condition; change ewes
from dry feed to green feed about
ten days before oreeNing time: re-
placement ewes shipped from other
states should be wintered in Cali
fornia as lambs; Gull old ewes and
undesirables annually: use an ample
number of thrifty bucks; feel the
bucks a suitable grain mixture once

hundred days.

FARM PRODUCT SALE
RECEIPTS DECREASE
-POST-PREsS PHOTO-ENGRAVINC

Receipts from the sale of prin-
cipal farm products in February,
as in the previous month, were less
than for the corresponding month
of 1897. the Bureau of Agricultural
Economies reported today.
An increase in receipts occurred
Cnly in the West North Central
states where income last year was
reduced as the result of
a drought.
In the other five regions. de-
creaSeS ranging from 5 per cent in
the south central states TO l8 per
cent in the Western states.
Government payments to farmers
totaleI $3l000,0OO in February com
pared with S52.0O0000 in February
1887. In the North Atlantic States
alone was there an increase in gov
eminent payments over those re-
ceiyed in February of 1887 but the
increase was insufficient to offset
the decrease in receipts from sales
of principal agricultural products
In the West North Central States
the decrease in government pay
ments more than offset the in
crease in receipts from farm mar
ketings. IL the other divisions
the smaller government payments
further REDUCED cash farm income
Cash income from all farm mar
ketings for the entire United States
as reported March %. amounted to
S456 100000 in February. 10 per cent
less than the $505 100000 received
in February last year. Total cash
farm income from marketings and
government payments was 13 per
cent below that Of a year earlier
Although the state estimates of re
Ceipts are based on the marketings
Of only 33 of the more important
farm prClucts, they reflect the
nationwide decrease in the Febru-
ary cash farm income. In past
years the receipts from markctin2s
OF the 80 principal farm products
measured approximately 90 per cent
of the annual United States cash
income from all farm products.

When commercial fertilizer was
first brought into use it was spread
over land that experts said lacked

Sometimes the commercial fer
t'lizer worked Other times it did
not.
Puzzled agriculturIStS decided to
find out why the commercial fer

After a series of Investigations the
agriculture experts found that in
many cases the land lacked not

minor element. bismuth for in

Thus the agriculturists found that
barnyard manure served the pur-
pose much better than commercial
fertilizers. not that commercial fer
tilizers could not be made to serve
the purpose. because the barnyard
manure contained the various minor
elements so necessary in the rails

The pictuIes shown on this page

advantage to be gained by pastur-

The picture clearly indicated the

applications over that not fertilz-
ed. In some cases there is a foot
