personal things. Who says I

just finished a pair of socks I made
for a friend of mine in the Air

getting the toe to come level with

to stand on his head to put them
on, won't he?"

FARM BUREAU DRIVE
STARTED THIS WEEK
CONTINUED from Page One)

Since hogs represent the second
largest item of income on Stearns
county farms, hog producers this
year should be especially interested
in the eighteenth annual Swine
Feeders Day, according to the
county agents office in st. Cloud.
This year Swine Feeders Day
comes on Wednesday, November 6,
and will open at 1000 a. m. at Uni
versity Farm with w. H. Peters,
head of the animal husbandry de-
partment in charge. Reports on
this years feeding experiments COW
ering protein supplements and linn
iting the amount Of tankage on
rape pastures will be made at the
opening Of the program. Another
live subject, the use Of minerals for
hog feeding will follow this. Min
erals are always a live topic with
livestock men, especially hog feed
ers, since there are so many types
Of minerals offered for sale. Some
minerals today cost four times as
much as others and actually the
high priced ones are often not as
good as the cheaper ones.
The subject Of selling hogs on
the basis Of dressed carcasses will
be discussed by E. F. Ferrin, in
charge of swine work at Univer-
sity Farm, and Don w. Johnson, a
member Of the animal husbandry
staff. Headlining the afternoon
program on the subject Of hog dis
eases will be DR.. X. w. Stouder,
extension veterinarian at the Iowa
State College. Another important
topic on the days program will be
the development Of county organi-
cations to stimulate the increased
sales Of pork and lard. Several
such county organizations are al
ready in operation in Minnesota
and this subject will be discussed
by r. c. Juhl, president Of the
Swine Breeders Association, and
w. T. Foley, associate editor Of
The Farmer at st. Paul.
One Of the most important hog
topics to consider at the moment
Is the matter Of selling on the basis
Of dressed carcasses. Denmark and
Ireland who have for years produc-
ed the best hog carcasses in the
world have followed this basis Of
selling. Here in the United States
farmers themselves have to some
extent objected to this thing be-
cause 1t slows up for a few days
tho ooft1apnant IN tho hnOo 90 fhau
are sold. However, all operators
on the terminal markets are now
checked on as to their financial
stability and farmers would be TAX
ing no risks in going in on this
type Of a program. 1t Is only thru
this that proper credit can be CIV
en- for quality production in swine.
