1937 Farm Pocket Book To Be Larger Is U.S.D.A. Guess

I Higher Level 01 Rural Living To Be Result 01 Increased Income During Coming Year. 1936 W AS BETTER A higher level of farm family living in 1937 resulting from a marked improvement in farm ingome is forecast by the Bureaus of Agricultural Economies and Homo Economics of the U. S. Department of Agriculture in an | Annual Outlook report. The bureaus, summarizing the i prospects, said: "The 1936 gross cash income from agriculture is continuing the upward trend begun in 1933, and, according to preliminary estimates. represents an increase of approximately 11 percent over 1935 income. This general increase in 1936 is expected in j spite of the severe summer drought i that destroyed crops and pastures over a considerable area. Probably much of the effect of this drought on income and resources 1 ■will not be felt until 1937, and its influence on farm income will 1 be chiefly regional. The outlook for 1937 income from agriculture ' the country over is a continuation . of the upward trend of 1933-36. More Marketed “The improvement in income in the first half of 1936 reflected | a larger volume of farm products marketed, together with the higher prices received for meat animals, dairy products, and fruits. The improvement in income during the second half of 1936 is re-1 fleeting chiefly the higher prices Attention Farmers! We do custom butchering at reasonable prices and under sanitary conditions.

(of nearly all groups of farm pro- ! ducts, together with the considerably heavier marketings of meat animals. Payment by the agricul- | tural iidjußtmnet administration ito farmers will be substantially j smaller in 1936 than in 1935. "Increases in net income from agricultural and nonagricultural sources, lower interest nates, and long-time financing plans for debts will tend together to increase the cash available for farmfamily living in 1936. More To Spend i “Farm families in general will have somewhat more money to distribute in 1937 among items of family living, in spite of the fact ings, and livestock for replenishing herds will doubtless claim a goodly share of the increase in income. Increased cash available for family living may be offset in ]>art by higher prices of food and of some other commodities. “Retrenchments made in family living because of the limited funds available during the depression continue to affect the distribution ' of increased funds for family use. I In view of adjustments already made, it seems probable tlvat in- ( creased resources in 1936-37 will ' go to focal, furnishings, household . operation, medical care, and cloth- ; ing. Major home improvements I probably will be made by many families in 1937. Ilin area® where electric lines ire being extended and the cost of electricity is being reduced to farm families, some of the increase in income may go for wiring, electric service, and electrical appliances. “Greater use of cooperative pur- | chasing associations is indicated by the fact that both retail and I wholesale organizations have increased in number and in size of ' business in 1936.” o FOR RENT FOR RENT-Modern 8 room house with 2 car garage.

HOGS REQUIRE MINERALSALTS ' Proper Feed Necessary To Raise Good Pigs In Spring i Hog 'producer® who want to produce a satisfactory crop of spring pigs should not neglect to supply sows this winter with the minerals they require. Al Severson, of the Nortn Dakota agricutural college animal husbandry department, recommended the feeding of special steamed bonemeal and salt. “The hog is a good judge as to the amount her system requires, he says, "Therefore, it is best to feed the minerals free choice. “Place a small box containing two compartments in ono comer of the pen. One compartment should contain salt and the other special steamed bonemeal with about 5 'percent salt to render it palatable. The free choice method supplies the ex-, act amount needed by the hog.” Severson points out that hogs I not accustomed to salt should 6e fed small quantities at the start until they have satisfied their re-I quirements. Salt is a poison if conturned in large quantityOne of the most essential miner-. ; 1 ingredients for swine is iodine, to 'prevent the production of hairlees pigs. It is possible to prevent hairlessness in pigs by a small quantity of iodine, for at least three ■ fourtlis of the gestation period. A sow needs only two grains of iodine per week during the gestation per-, iod. Information on feeding iodine anj other minerals is available from all county agents, or can be secured direct from the State Agricultural College, Fargo, North Dakota.

FARM RECORDS HELP PROFITS - ' ■' Economics Points Out Benefits Os Accurate Accounts "’The farm account and record book is like a doctor’s examination, says Dr. Max F. Abell, assistant agricultural economist at the University of New Hampshire, ‘‘it reveals where attention should be placed, and prevents the use of the knife where a dose of castor oil would serve. “A farm account is really easy to keep. It consists of an inventory of farm, stock, equipment, and supplies, and a record of sales and <purchases. These items entered regularly provide in one book all the necessary information for a complete farm account, and supply the material necessary for making an analysis of your farm, such an analysis reveals the faults for correction, and the results for satisfaction. “A set of farm records takes the guess work out of farming. They reveal where you are making money and where you are losing- Our poultry accounts show how important records tire by providing the yardstick by which we may measure the effectiveness of certain practices. We often think that high egg production is an indicator of high income, but a set of accounts show ns how much more important than eggs per hen is the reduction of death losses among the layers, keeping houses filled to capacity, holding feed costs to a minimum, and making the most out of labor. "These things are evident without records, but records call them to our attention much more forcibly and show how important they are on our income. "A good job well done deserves a

Special programs will be offered during the five day period for women and the hundred® of home economics clubs over the state will send delegates to get the information and inspiration and tajre it back to their own clubs. Then, special programs devoted to the various current problems of production and marketing will be given for livestock producers, including those on beef cattle, sheep, swine, horses, dairy cattle; special programs for poultrymen, for fruit growers, vegetable growers, beekeepers, alfalfa growers, corn grower®, and almost every phase of agriculture found in the state.

Spring is the best time to plant the trees. — Always clip the hair on the flanks and udder of dairy cows. Otherwise, the long hair will accumulate dust and dirt which may fall into the pail and contaminate the milk. Many a wintry day can be spent to advantage cleaning seed for spring planting, says Purdue’s weed specialist. The ordinary fanning mill will do a surprisingly good job of cleaning when properly operated- The secret of doing a good job

BREED SHOULD BE IMPROVED I Specialist Recommends Poultry Breeding Program Urbana, 111., Jan. 1-With the 1937 i hatching season not far off. now is a good time for poultry raiser® to start plans for improving their; flocks through breeding, according to H. H. Alp. poultry extension specialist, College of Agriculture, Univeiwity of Illinois. “The first step is to decide what is the greatest weakness of the present flock,” Alp explained- In tome flocks it is egg size, winter pause in production, body size, livabi’ity or vgor, rate of maturity broodiness or other faults that need correction.” Three sources of stock from which improvement can be expected are a local breeder, a breeder outside the local territory and the poultry raiser’s own flock. If fowls from the home flock are to be used, it will pay to inspect them carefully for vigor, maturity, body size and conformation to type, keeping in mind the standard weight requirements for the particular bleed kept. Use of pedigreed males from a reputable breeder may give the improvement desired. However, he pointed out that the mere fact that a bird is pedigreed is not sufficient to guarantee good breeding results. It fe sometimes possible to buy a two or three-year-old male which the breeder is through with, but which has proved his value as a breeder'll pays to use in the breeding flock two-year-old bird® that meet the requirements desired. Older birds have demonstrated their ability to live, it is pointed out. Careful selection of egg® used tor incubation purposes to see that they have desirable market characteris- | tics such as size and shell color is aleo a profitable practice. HYBRID CORN" IS EXPLAINED Farmers Warned To Take Care In Selecting Corn Many growers have only a hazy idea of what is meant by hybrid seed corn. To help clear away doubt G. H- Dugan, of the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station, recently aided farmers by explaining some of the thing® buyers should look for and others they should avoid if they wish to get good hybrid seed corn. "Corn grower® should under- , stand" he eaid, "that good hybrid . seed cannot be produced by crossing certain rows of an adapted variety, or by selecting seed in a field grown from commercial hybrid
