public we hear that the New St.
Croix Turf Club is preparing
another racind card for Monday,
January 80, Roosevelt Birthday.
Supporters of QUIZ are not salts
fled that she could be whipped by
ST. PATRICK again, and are an
xious for another race with them.
1t is hoped SIR HENRY could
make another try to take the ba-
con to st. Thomas, but this is I'M
certain as we learn that he and
his companion SWEEP got badly
bruised on their way home. How
ever, game sport as he is, we
wouldn't be surprised to learn that
MIR. Daley has succeed in healing
him and bouncing him right into
your lap. Nothing is impossible
under the sun.
1t is said that Joshua made the
sur to stand still'. That is his
troy. And this is also histroy:
FLAME made SYMPHONY to
stand still-at the post. A serious
case of "bugbearism". And
FLAME will do it again, says her
owner. Doubt it? Then insist on a
race between FLAME, SYM
fPHONY and CITATION on the
S0th of this month.
Another exciting and very IN
teresting match will be X-RAY,
BEAU GESTE and SUZANNE, all
thorcughbreds, the public will see
something for their money. SUI
ANNE says X-RAY, can't do it
again, BEAU GESTE says "tis
good | wasn't there. $50 what"
says X-RAY, inject me on Janu-
airy 80 with no excuse about your
foot being lame. So folks, as /
said, this should be both exciting
and interesting. Wonder if COL
TON will attempt to put his foot
in to that again? Some horses
don't learn by experience and
some are determined ITO see it
to the bitter end" Cotton, sock
roach has no business in fowl

surprised to see Palm Tree Sta
ble's little FLY STARLIGHT do

ing is true-Good things are pack

That fellow"Pop" is very daring,
it will be no surprise to me if he
sticks her between them again.

Three Per CENT OF FARMERS OWN Al PER Gent
OF FARM Land IN UNITED STATES

Only go of the farmers in the
United States own 1000 acres OF
more. But the go that do have that
the nation owned by individuals.
The other 97% of the farmers, along
with few other occupational groups,
have among them the rest of the
land that individuals own.
Nearly fifth of the farmers have
less than 80 acres each. Another
fifth have SO to SO acres, and about
fourth have 70 to 139 acres.
These figures are for the nation
as whole, including cattle and sheep
ranches. They appear in landowner
ship study just published by the
federal bureau of agricultural eco
nomics. But even in the south, which
excludes the ranch country, 46%
of the farm land is in holdings of
1000 acres or more and 1870 is in
holdings of $500 acres or more.
The so-called agricultural ladder"
by which men are supposed to climb
Ii Oii lain W GtildnC W OWucI,
is shown by the study to be largely
folklore rather than fact. Fewer than
a third of the farm owners, the BAE
found, had experience both as farm
workers and tenant before acquiring
ownership. They got to be owners in
some other way.
Few farmers acquire ownership
of land while young. Only one out
of four owning farms were found to
be under as years old.
Eighty-five per cent of the ma
tion's IL billion acres in farm and !
ranch land is owned by individuals,
the study shows; go by the corpora
tions; SO by the public Estate, fed
eral and other units of government)
and 3@o is Indian land.
Ownership Varies
Of the total owned by individuals,
500 is held by farmers and re-
tired farmers-but with the size
of individual ownerships varying
greatly as indicated above. Four
teen per cent is owned by bust
ness and professional people, 2%
by housewives, and 5%o by clerical
people and laborers.

SHORT SHOTS

President Truman has asked the
Congress to reduce excise taxes, but
not on SIS, 200 mink coats. Cong. Dan
Reed, NY, states he will sponsor
measure to take off all excise taxes.
Don't be in hurry to buy that mink
coat. Also, watch how your congress
man votes on this measure.
Remember back when the bank

told you "a bank guaranty act of
$4,000 will wreck the economy of the
United States?" Now they want
bill through Congress increasing the
guaranty up to $4,000.
How much of a rent boost can
you stand? If none, then write

contain the right kinds and amounts
of proteins, vitamins and minerals.
The shortening of feeding time from
six months to five and one-hali
months means considerable saw
ing in feed costs because early gains
take less feed than when the hog is
older
In addition, getting hogs to market
two weeks earlier often means the
difference between hitting peak
prices and a sagging market. Fol
example, on September Is, 1949, the
top price for hogs was $22.5o. just
two weeks later, the price was down
to $20.50-a drop of exactly $500. Or
just one litter of nine hogs, this diff.
ference could be as much as $50
to $40.
Research has shown that pigs
need more protein until they weigh
100 to 125 pounds, SO don't follow
the accepted practice Of changing
the protein content Of the ration
when pigs are weaned. After pigs
weigh 100 to 125 pounds, q ration
with lower protein content can
be used.
