Woman Has Churned
10 Tons of Butter

EVERTON, MO. = Mrs. Gala o.
Fletcher of Everton, by actual ac-
count kept in an old ledger, has
churned $1,000 pounds of butter by
hand in an old-fashioned brass
bound churn in her Is years. She ex-
plains that she has been churning
butter since she was four years old
when she had to stand on a wooden
box to grasp the dasher handle.
ut would be quite a lake if all
the cream ] have churned should
flow into one pool" she said re-
Gently.
The churn she uses is a century
old and she has worn out many a
homemade dasher in it. She keeps
the cream only a, short time before
she churns it so that the butter she
makes will be sweet.
After the butter is churned she
places it in a large earthen crock
which has been summing for several
hours. Then she starts working it
with circular movement, using a
fiat wooden paddle. That works the
milk from the butter in about 10
minutes. She puts the butter away
for several hours and then works it
again to get out the last Of the milk
drops. The finished butter is a gold
en- ball.
In order to have the best butter
milk, Mrs. Fletcher leaves flakes of
butter floating in it. After rs years
experience she believes she under
stands all phases of butter making.
Contentment among cows is as
important to good butter as the
right kind of feed, she believes.

phosphorus and potash will be a ma
jor factor. More bushels per acre
can, and will, mean more food from
less land.
Increase Yields, Not Acres.
"The wise farmer will be the one
who does not buy more land, but
who increases the crop-yielding ca
pacity of his present acreage by
soil improvement measures. He will
study the most practical uses Of
plant food. He will consult agrono-
mists at state college and agricul-
tural stations for the most effective
methods of fertilizer application,
the analyses best suited to his par
ticular soil and crop conditions and
the quantities to use."
This advice to farmers to inn
prove their present holdings rather
than to acquire greater acreage,
was corroborated by the commit
tee on farm land prices of the Amer
lean Bankers association which
urged member banks to admonish
would-be farm buyers Ego Slow"
to discourage borrowing to specu-
late in farm lands, and to tell vet
Grams of "the hazards inherent in
excessive land prices" -
Country bankers" a committee
spokesman said, "are fully cog
infant of the dangers inherent in the
present farm land price situation.
They are urging farm owners now
to reduce their debt and to plan saw
ings for farm improvement during
these years of high income, because
when conditions return to normal
and American agriculture is in COM
petition with other countries for
world markets, it is probable that
farm earnings will not support
prices at current levels"

''WHAT GOES up"
WHAT GOES Up =
Land Prices Soar
Released by WNU.

Is speculative ownership of
land becoming the mo. l Enc
my" of future farm prosperity?
Are land prices due to tumble
as they did after World War I?
Will the cost of land go so high
that the farmer cannot make a
profit? These are questions that
are being asked from California
to Maine.
Land prices have already scared
II per cent above the 1859 aver
ages. They are approaching the
boom levels that followed World
War I. Many bankers are frankly
worried lest the crash and deflation
of the early 1920s be repeated.
Government figures show
farm land prices during World
War III more than doubled in
Indiana, North and South Caro-
lima, Kentucky, Tennessee, Colo
RADIO and Wyoming.
Increases of more than 80 per
cent have been recorded in Ohio,
Michigan, Georgia, Mississippi,
Arkansas and Montana. For the
country as whole, farm real
estate values have jumped IS per
cent in the past year.
From the beginning of World War
I to the initiation peak in 1920, land
prices jumped 70 per cent. Prices
at the start of World War II were
lower than in 1914, but the in
crease this time is already II per
cent, although the actual prices are
not yet at the 1920 peak.
Higher Land, Less Profit.
Farm sales are continuing at the
high level they attained during 1915.
The number of farms resold after
limited period of ownership has
increased, indicating speculation.
Farmers who have a "yen"
to acquire additional acreage,
says a statement by the Middle
West Soil Improvement commit
tee, should bear in mind that
the higher the cost of land goes,
the harder it is to show a profit,
even at present prices received
for crops.

and with more and better farm ma
chinery in immediate prospect,
many farmers figure it would be a
profitable move to work much more
land than heretofore" the state
ment points out. eff they will re-
member the bitter aftermath of
World War rs land boom, when food
prices were even higher than they
are today, they will see the hazards
of such move.
"Sooner or later the present world
food emergency will be solved and
the mammoth demand for Ameri-
can food products will end. Then
American farmers will have to COM
pete in world markets. The only way
they can do this successfully is to
produce crops at lower cost per
unit. In such a program, the steady
use of fertilizer containing nitrogen,

for the treatment of polio, includ-
ing hospitals which normally do
not accept patients suffering with
contagious diseases, and he added:
"Such pre-epidemic planning is
necessary if adequate care is to be
given to all who contract the
disease. Under the guidance Of those
officials charged with the commu-
nity's health and with the substan-
tial support of the National Founda-
ton for Infantile Paralysis and its
local chapters, every community in
the United States can be prepared
to meet epidemics of polionnyelitis
without fear or panic.''

out the community, it reduces the
number of susceptible individuals
to a point where the epidemic can
no longer maintain itself. Until a
new group of potential victims grow
up, which may be from four to six
years, that community should be
less vulnerable to attack"
DR.. Parran said there was dam
ger in "relying too strongly on this
theory" since recently exposed
areas may be "lulled into a feel
ing of false security" while local.

disease for several years ''may

"The safest procedure by far" he
advised, els for all communities to

DR.. Parran's article in the AHA
magazine was one of 10 on infan-
tile paralysis timed to reach more
than $500 member hospitals
throughout the country before on
set of the polio epidemic season,
usually ranging from late June to
September.
The other articles provide in

organization of community re-
sources, the key position of the gen.

of poliomyelitis patients, and the
role of the National Foundation for
