so that it is difficult to interpret the results accurately.” In Prof. Stewart's opinion, it is reasonable to conclude from this 14-year test, however, that the popping quality of popcorn is entirely independent of viability, that popcorn 14 years old pops nearly if not quite as well as it does at any earlier age. and that no one knows how long it will retain its popping ability. It was observed that popcorn stored on the cob retained its popping quality better than does shelled popcorn. MANAGEMENT IS NECESSARY NOW Expert Advises Sufficient Hogs To Consume Home Grown Corn Lafayette, Ind., Nov. 6—" Doing the job when it should be done is one of the chief essentials in making the most satisfactory income from the hog enterprise.” stated O. G. Johanningsmeier, extension agricultural economist of Purdue Uni- ' versity, recently, basing his conclusion upon u study of nearly 4,400 farm records summarized dur- ' lug the past six years. The farm records showed that 71 per cent of the total cash farm income in Indiana is obtained from sales of livestock and livestock products, and that 40 per cent es that figure came from hog sales. "Thus, with hogs producing the chief income on so many Indiana farms,” Johanningsmeier continued. “the operators may find it necessary to plan carefully the or-, ganization and management of this' al! important enterprise, if the returns from the entire business are to be satisfactory year after year.” One of the safe policies cited by i Johanningsmeier in planning the ‘ swine enterprise is to produce. I] enough hogs to market the corn 1 i grown on the farm. The extent to which the hog enterprise can be expanded profitably and safely ahove the point where the purchase of corn is necessary depends upon [ | the efficiency of the hog producer and his nearness to a corn suri plus area, assuring a corn supply |at reasonable prices. Following are practices that I farmers keeping records have found profitable: selectiug healthy, well-developed gilts from large litters to replace poor producing sows in the breeding herd; feeding young gilts a growing ration: selecting healthy, active, well-developed sires from large litters; and haying sows gaining In weight at breeding time. — —b !

ESTIMATE MADE I ON POPULATION U. S. Believes Number Os Farm Residents Is • Stationary The farm population of the United States remained virtually stationary last year, the Bureau of, Agricultural Economics said in a report issued today. The number of persons living on farms January 1. 1936 was estimated at 31.809,000. as compared witli 31,801. 000 one year earlier. The number of persons on farms at the beginning of this year was only slightly greater than in 1920 and was somewhat less than in 1910. Births on farms last year were estimated at 727.000. while deaths were placed at 333,000. | The fact that the total farm population did not increase materially despite the excess of births over deaths is explained by the migration of persons away from the farms. During the year it is esti- ' mated that 1,211,000 persons mov:ed away from farms to towns and cities, and 825,000 moved from towns to farms. For the first time since 1930 every- region in the country showed a net migration away from the farms except the Pacific Coast, where one movement balanced *he other. Thus it appears that the farms last year furnished the towns and cities with a gain fa population of 386,000 and at the: same time added 8,000 persons to 1 the farm population. Discussing the effect of the de-1 preSsion years on farm population,, the Bureau noted that between the beginning of 1930 and 1935, farm ( population increased by 1,632,000. Migration away from the farms, during those years was comparatively light, amounting to a net lost of only 598.000 persons (or the whole period On the other liaud. during Um preceding five-year period, 1935-30.1 mainly one of urban prosperity, tin-1 farms lost people to the cities at a rate of 600.000 annual net loss. Farms are an important source from which new population is constantly recruited for urban ecu tors, the Bureau points out.

I farms changes greatly from year to year, depending upon the relative attraction of urban jobs and opportunities. FOOD IS NEEDED ! BYGRASSCROPS ! Lime. Fertilizing, Seeding Brings Profit To Farmers if you want good grass, give it food. That is the timely suggest ion of the Soil Conservation Set vic<. Even the best of grass seed will not give good results if the soil is lacking in the necessary plant nutrients, the Service says, and this goes for lawn grass or for pasture grass on eroded hillsides in the country. i Grass can be—and is—starved, just as an animal can be starved. Furthermore, neither a dirt farmer nor a scientist is likely to produce a miracle grass that will thrive on subsoil or other infertile soil unless certain plant-food elements are present. A 10-acrc field on the 11. A. Studor farm in Ohio was in poverty 'grass for many years. The soil was Muskingum silt loan, lying on an average slope of about 20 percent, pud was eroded until only a thin layer of topsoil remained. Liming, fertilizing, seeding to sweet-clover, timothy, and oats, controlled grazing. and then seeding to alfalfa, built up this field within 5 years to ! where it yielded well over 4 tons iof alfalfa per acre. : The remarkable results on this - field led to the investment of apI proximately ?10 per acre for material'to improve a similar 50-acre [tract. Within 2 years a heavy stand of sweetclover was obtained on these impoverished, eroded areas. *■-- ■ i o ■ Dance Sunday Sunset. Dr. Eugene Fields DENTIST X-RAY LABORATORY Phone No. 56 127 N. 3rd st.

INBREEDING IS INVESTIGATED — I Good Sire Transmits Good | Desired Characteristics To Daughters Inbreeding, feared by most livestock men I ut used with extreme success by some, has been practiced for 20 years in the Bureau of Dairy Industry herd at Beltsville, Md., without bad results. But the Bureau warns that its success, as in all cases of inbreeding, probably was due to the fact that the first sire was an excellent individual, able to pass on high production without reducing fertility or seriously weakening his off-, ■ spring. The inbreeding trials began in 1915. About 15 grade dairy cows I were mated with a registered Hol--1 stein bull. The bull was then mated with his daughters. An inbred son, | with three straight crosses of the first bull, was chosen for the second herd sire. An inbred grandson became herd sire no. 3. This grandson, mated to his own dam. sired the fourth herd bull. He in turn was mated witli this same dam to produce bull no. 5. This herd probably is the most inbred in the

' country. Daughters of the first bull and the foundation cows averaged an increase of lot) pounds of butterfat a year. These daughters mated to the inbred son of the first bull produced daughters which averaged 63 pounds more butterfat a year than their dams. But when this inbred bull was mated with hla iown daughters, average butterfat i declined about 17 pounds, although H has remained ala high level with further inbreeding. Inbred calves, are somewhat lighter in weight, as are the mature inbred cows. The Bureau concludes that the only way to find whether a dairy bull that increases production should be used for inbreeding is to mate him with his daughter. If the bull has the right factors for inheritance, production will be increased without a lowering of fertility or virility. Live Stock Show To Have Many Entrants Chicago.

"These handicaps may manifest themselves in the competition of other farm animals for feed and pasture, a limited amount of leg nine hay for winter feed, and the unsuccessful control of external and internal parasites." Harper said. Other handicaps cited by the specialist were: lack of suitable shelter, losses from predatory animals, lack of sheep proof fences in some areas, losses of lambs during the lambing season, losses of ewes during the gestation period, a poor and inadequate source' of desirable breeding rams in certain sections, failure of sheep to return a weekly or monthly income and an insufficient amount of information on the part of beginners and those inexperienced with raising sheep. For the gestation period, which is now as hand, Harper makes the I following feed and management | recommendations: Feed a legume hay, have the ewes gain 15 to 31) pounds each, avoid injuries that, may cause abortion, feed grain if necessary to make gains, shelter ewes from rains and storms, and
