**■ «■*. - ■ ' SOYBEANS ARE LARGEST CROP Linseed Oilmeal Production Less Than Soybean For First Time Urbana, 111., March 12 — For the! first time iu history, the produc ! tion of soybean oilmeal in 1936 exceeded the production of linseed oilmeal, according to R. C. Ashby, associate chief in livestock mark-, eting. College of Agriculture, Uni-! varsity of Illinois. Production of soybean oilmeal in j the United States last year was listed at 688,000 tons as compared with 460.082 tops of linseed oilmeal produced the same year. The substantial increase in soybean oil-! meal production is indicated when the 1936 production is compared with the 1935 production of only 218,203 tons. On the other hand linseed oilmeal production for 1935 amounted to 401,867 tons. Concerning the adaptability of soybean oil meal as a livestock feed. Ashby points out that it is used satisfactorily with all classes of livestock including poultry. Most livestock prefer the flaked or pea-size to the finely ground liivdl. Soybeans for Hogs For hogs soybean oilmeal is rated highly as a supplemental protein feed. It is good for any hogs or any pigs in ration. If fed in dry lot it is best supplemented with a simple mineral, such as 2 parts finely ground limestone, 2 parts steamed bone meal and 1 part of salt. For cattle feeding soybean oil-! meal is proving very satisfactory. I Ashby points out. Sheep make good use of either soybeans or soybean oilmeal, but the oilmeal appears to be more palatable to' lambs. Poultry rations are taking increasing quantities of soybean oilmeal. As a feed-soybeans before being' processed have limited usefulness. ■ If whole soybeans are fed to inar-j ket hogs, there is danger of soft pork. Fed to fattening cattle, they are not as satisfactory as the soy-; bean oilmeal either in rate or econ-1 omy of gain. The beans may be | fed to sheep, dairy cows, brood' sows and to a limited extent to horses. Soybean hay fits in well for any class of livestock. However, no hay erop is more abused, probably because soybean hay appears to with A . ..J /IF

Bona Allen LATIGOTAN today —is America’s fastest selling harness. Why? Because of many special LATIGOTAN features — an exclusive Bona Allen tannage that does not have weight fillers” . - . but leather that retains its natural oils and greases longer, minimizes stretching, uses no injurious dyes or chemicals, gives harness GENUINE qualities of longer life, greater strength, weather resistance, and STAMINA under punishing wear. No harness is better than the leather that goes to make up the harness. Come in and carefully inspect this LATIGOTAN harness, check above statements and convince yourself that this Bona Allen is the harness to buy.

weather and exposure. In addition i there is a wide range in the maturity at which soybeans make satisfactory hay, although if it is cut I too late, curing is often difficult. Between the two sets of factors no hay crop presents wider variations | in quality. SUGAR GEETS SHOW PROFIT Adams County Farmers Will Realize Nearly SBO An Acre From Crop Farmers in this section realized a substantial profit from the growing of sugar beets last season. More than 98 growers in Adams county averaged over 10 tons to the acre and found this hardy crop of great value in their rotation program, the Central Sugar Company announced in a statement today. A total of 567.40 acres was harvested by these growers for a total tonnage of 6,724.88 tons with an average of 11.85 tons to the acre. The average planting date was May 11th with about half of them plowing their land the preceding fall. All of the growers used fertilizer with an average application of 232 pounds to the acre resulting in an average stand of 79.07%. The average cultivation was 5.59 times during the season. Sugar beets have been the best I paying farm crop during the past five according to figures given out by the United States de-j partment of agriculture and many I farmers are planning additional j beet acreage this season because eugar beets are a nou-surplue crop and always find a ready cash market. Increased acreage and high i yield do not reduce the price of sugar beets per ton while additional acreage and a normal growling season will lower the present I prices of such surplus crop as corn andwhewt. j Return to the above group of ' farmers, on last year’s crop, will ! approach SBO per acre when refin- | ery and government figures are all in, the Central Sugar company I estimates. An other factor which !is prompting many farmers to plant beets this year, is, recognition of the value of sugar beets as : a soil conditioner. Much humus is added to the soil by growing beets and crops following them show a 10 to 15 percent increase in yield, thon i tho livn cln/ilz foodinrr

“Which came first, the chicken or the egg?’’ remarked County Agricultural Agent L. K. Archbold in explaining this chart. “As yet ’ no definitely acceptable answer ' been offered to this somewhat fool--1 ish question. And so it is that we ' can neither say that factory workers' payrolls are responsible for fluctuations in the farm receipts from foodstuffs nor vice versa, al--1 though we have plenty of evidence 1 pictured here that there is a definite and positive relationship be--1 tween the two.” i

' value of the beet tops is worth $6 ; to $7 per acre. o CROWD TO HEAR GOV. TOWNSEND I Large Attendance Assured For Farm Meeting Next Thursday I A capacity crowd is assured for the farm meeting in honor of Gov- , ernor M. Clifford Townsend at the court house Thursday afternoon at one o'clock, County Agent L. E. i Archbold, chairman of the arrange- . ments committee announced today. Problems of Indiana's agriculture and the new soil conservation pro- - gram will be discussed by the Gov- ; ernor, who is a real dirt farmer, i owning farms in Grant and Blackford counties. His talk will be from ' ( first-hand knowledge. This meeting will be one of the highlights of Governor's day and is to be the only open meeting, with the exception of the banquet I j to be sponsored in the evening by h the Chamber of Commerce in the I I Catholic Auditorium. | Arrangements have also been I II completed for the farm leaders I banquet to be held in the Rice Hotel at noon Thursday. Invitations to attend this banquet have been forwarded chairmen ot the township soil conservation committees, township trustees, the county commissioners, the county council. E. W. Busche, chairman of the county long-time planning program; H. P. Schmitt, chairman of the livestock show at the 1937 Decatur Free Street Fair and Agricultural Exhibit; Dee Fryback. president of the Decatur Chamber , of Commerce, and Mayor Arthur . R. Holthouse, of Decatur. , Governor Townsend through his agricultural activities before he assumed his high office became acquainted with many Adams county farmers. Others met him when ■ he directed the state fair as commissioner of agriculture of the, state knd lieutenant governor, dur- , ing the last four years. o • THRIFTY PIGS By L. E.

n This close relationship is of trey mendous importance to Indiana d farmers by enabling them to base t a considerable part of their sorer cast of future prices of farm pro- -- ducts on consumer purchasing powe er, according to specialists of the t- farm management department at r Purdue University. s When factory payrolls decline, 1- the buying power for farm proe ducts likewise declines. This shows I- up in declining prices for farmers. - Rising factory payrolls mean greater buying power for farm products.

gradually increase the feed as the pigs get older. Here is a good feed mixture; 1 bushel of shelled corn, 1 bushel of good oats and 5 to 6 pounds of tankage. Some ground wheat or flour middlings added to this mix- . ture will improve the ration. It pays to coarse grind the corn and oats. The tankage may be replaced by 1-2 to 1 gallon of skim milk per] sow daily, or 7 to 8 lbs. of soybean oilmeal may be used in place of the tankage in the above mixture. Also have a supply of suitable min- 1 erals and salt, free-choice, in a I self-feeder for the sows. When the | pigs reach two weeks of age, feed; sows all they will clean up twice daily, and they should always have plenty of good water to drink. Slop feeding is not recommended. Dry feeding is better as it greatly reduces the danger of causing scours in pigs. Treat sows and pigs with considerable care. Full measure of success in starting pigs right cannot be realized unless they are very tame and easy to handle. Give pigs a good growing feed, starting when not less than two weeks old. DAIRY MEETINGS ARE ANNOUNCED Moving Picture To Be Shown In Decatur Wednesday Evening Moving pictures on cattle breeding taken through a microscope will be shown at a dairy meeting to be held In the Decatur high school, Wednesday evening at 7:15 o'clock. E. T. Wallace of the dairy extension department of Purdue University will be in charge of the pictures. This movie has been produced by scientist and specialist in genetics. County Agent L. E. Archbold has announced that all persons interested in dairy work should see the picture. A short time on the program will be devoted to 4-H club work. All calf club members and prospective members have been urged to attend. A dairy meeting has also been announced at the Bluffton community building. Tuesday, evening at 7:30 o'clock. Dr. J. L. Axby and H. Busman will discuss “Disease j Problems in Cattle and Their Re- | lation to Production."

You don’t need to have bedbugs, fleas, cockroaches, clothes moths | or silver fish, in your home, unless I you particularly like them. There are definite methods of control. Here is a “must”. You must keep t pigs iu pens no longer than a week or ten days. They need clean land and plenty of direct sunshine to prevent thumps and anemia. Farmers who are most success-' ful, according to Purdue market-I ing specialists, never wait until ; harvest before considering a market for their crops. 1 Even in the poultry business the ' "in and outer” can get fooled sometimes. The man whose chicks all ’ died last year from Pullorum Disease (Bacillary White Djarrheal will likely take blood testing more seriously this year.
