Agent Reports
Expansion Costly
To Dairy Farmers

Costs of dairy farm expan-
sion may run as high as $1,000
for each COW added to the herd.
Dairy farmers must plan care
fully to keep their expansion
costs as low as possible, says
George Vapaa, Kent county ag-
ient.
"Remodeling old buildings
isn't always the way to keep
expansion costs down." Mr.. Va
paa says. For one thing, cost
of lounging area should not
be more than ST per square
foot"
If old building are poorly To-
Gated for drainage, do not al
low enough overhead clearance,
or waste labor, they may have
a negative value in a new sys-
tenn. Some dairy farmers who
remodeled old buildings say
they would have been better off
if they had selected a new site
and started from scratch.
Dairy-farm mechanization can
save labor and time, the agent
says, but it can also increase
expense of operation. This
means more pressure for higher
output per man which is why
so many dairy farmers have in
vested in various combinations
of more land, buildings, machin-
cry and cows.
Many times, a minor expan-
sion by adding a few cows, put
ting in a bulk tank and remod-
cling an old building is enough,
Mr.. Vapaa says. But sometimes
a major expansion is needed,
and it may take eight to ten
years to reach the new size.

Legume Crops
May Be Seeded
In Late Summer

The 1861 feed grain program
offers corn or sorghum grow
ers a real opportunity to start
a good field of alfalfa or other
legume forage crop, says George
iVapaa, Kent county agricultural
agent.
He points out that well-limed
and fertile corn fields are usual
| ly an ideal field for alfalfa. But
this is an especially good year
because the farmer can be paid
for diverting corn and sorghum
a ere age to soil conserving
crops" he explains.
The cooperating farmer who
diverts 20 percent of his corn
and grain sorghum acreage to
soil improving crops will re-
ceive payment equal to 500
of the normal yield of this acre
age. The payment will be in
the form of a negotiable certifi-
cate redeemable in grain or
cash equivalent of grain. And
he can get up to one-half of
this payment at the time he
signs-up. This can 60 a long
way toward getting the land
prepared for the new legume
seeding in August or early Sep
Itember, Mr.. Vapaa points out.
If weeds are a problem, he
recommends using modern weed
control m e t h d S, including
chemicals and summer fallow.
After weeds have been brought
under control, the farmer will
have the field in ideal condition
to establish prize-winning le-
Igume crop.
Late summer seeding of al
falfa and grass mixtures have
been successful in many parts
of the Corn Belt. Recommends
tions for seeding, lining, ferti-

time is at hand, William H.
Brady listed four advantages to
farmers who ."sign up" in the
feed-grain program: () immedi-
ate payment of about half the
total amount the farmer will re-
ceive for compliance; (2) assur-
ed participation in the 1861
price support program on feed
grains; (3) savings in labor,
seed, fertilizer, tractor fuel and
weed chemicals; (4) a kind of
insurance against drought, in
sect attack or other potential
hazards to crops that would
otherwise be grown on diverted
areas.
Brady pointed to the uncer-
tain 1861 grain market situation
as the most important single
factor that farmers should con-
slider before planting corn. AS
the u. S. Department of Agri-
culture releases its surplus hold
ing of corn to pay cooperating
growers, this corn may be sold
on the market or may be fed to
livestock or poultry.
'Tn either case, this extra
corn, available from government
stocks, is certain to affect the
market price" Brady said. This
will make it particularly hard
on the farmer who doesn't sign
i up and who will be ineligible
for price support payments and
will have to take whatever the
market price happens to be-" he
declared.
For the benefit of non-farm'
ers, Brady explained that the
1861 feed grain program is an
effort of the Federal administra-
ton to halt the buildup of the
u. S. supply of feed grains, now
at an all-time record high
Farmers who agree to take a
percentage of their land out OF
corn and divert it to conserva'
ton, uses, receive payment in
the form of certificates which
may be redeemed either in
grain or cash.
From the point of view OF
the taxpayer, the program is
designed to tighten the load in
several ways: Q) government
surplus grain stocks will be re-
duced, with resulting lower
storage and a d m mi tr ative
costs; (2) the program is paid
for from the sale of present
surplus stocks rather than from
Congr e ssional appropriation
Government gives either grain
or certificates to farmers who
cooperate. Farmers use grain
or sell it, or cash in certificates
permitting government to sell
an equivalent amount on open
market.)
Brady urged all farmers who
have not yet investigated the
program to visit their county
office Immediately.

A state research magazine released in

area for October 1860 was up SIX per cent
over that of October 1859. Such news
is indeed heartening to merchants and
residents of the area. There has been
much talk as of late to the effect that
business transactions in Holmes County
have reached a low ebb. They study how
ever, proved these reports TO be mis-
leading.
Actually the report should o come as a
surprise because numerous new businesses
have located in the area within recent
months. Once agriculture provided vlrtu-
ally the sole means of income for Holmes
citizens. When the crops were good the
whole economy was good. Such, OF
course, is no longer the case. With the

addition of industries and businesses
which maintain a steady work force
throughout the year a constant flow OF
money is in circulation at all times.
Regardless of what some prophets OF
doom may say Holmes County is on the
move. Her people are destined to enjoy
more for their labor. The new balanced
economy means more for more people.
There was a time in the county when
many individuals attempted to keep new
businesses u This, of course, is no
longer true. Merchants are becoming
more promotion-minded. Newcomers are
being welcomed into the community.
Continued efforts on everybodys
part will mean even greater increase and
prosperity in the part of everyone's
