Continued weakness in l the consumer demand for meats may prevent the usual increuse in prices associated with smaller marketings." Foreign Wheat Market In commenting upon the price situation relative to the major farm products, the bureau said that "Wheat prices during the next few weeks will depend largely on European buying. A comparatively stable level of feed grain prices is in prospect. As a result of the unusually large rice crops, rice prices have not been much above the low prices of 2 years ago. “It Is probable that the seasonal advance in lamb prices will not be nearly so great as in the first 4 months of 1937. A large part of the downward adjustment in prices of the better grades of slaughter cattle, expected for the first half of 1938. apparently took place in November and December, when prices of such cattle experienced one of the sharpest declines on record. Some upturn in hog prices appears probable within the next 2 or 3 months. The large out-of- I storage movement of shell eggs during December increases the chances of more favorable egg prices to producers this winter and i next spring.” SELECTION IN FLOCK NEEDED Plans Should Be Made Now For Next Year’s Poultry Flock While it may be a month or more I before chicks or hatching eggs are to be purchased, it is time now to select the stock for next winter’s laying flwk urges I). D. Moyer of the Missouri College of Agriculture. The business of raising pullets to iUake iivu k replacement is quite | often not given any thought until warm weather arrives in the spring. When this happens it is not likely that adequate preparation will be made in securing the right kind of chicks and getting the brooding equipment ready at the proper time. Successful poultry raisers plan many months ahead because the egg laying qualities, as well as the livability of the flock, cannot be determined until after the flock has been in production for several months. Many successful poultrymen choose their chicks from flocks in which the females have been carefully selected for vigor, egg production. and standard-bred qualities. The flock is mated to pedigreed males, or males of similar quality from trapnested hens with annual egg records of 200 or more eggs- Such flocks are designated as U. 8. Certified flocks under the national poultry improvement plan. The chicks produced from such flocks are known as U. S. Certified chicks. Pullets raised from flocks of this quality have much higher egg laying possibilities than pullets produced from flocks that are headed with males of unknown ancestry. Although it is extremely important that chicks be hatched from good parent stock, it is likewise important that the breeding flocks j he bloodtestrd for pullorum dis-1 ease and all the infected birds re- | moved from the flock. . Bloodtest-1 ing to control pullorum disease has | been carried on rather extensively during the last few years. The importance of starting the chicks at the right, time is too often overlooked. laist year, many poultry raisers delayed buying or hatching chicks because of the: shortage of high price of feed. Consequently, many flocks did not start laying during the fall months and are now just coming into profitable production With more plentiful teed supplies, it is likely that chicks will be hatched earlier this year. o — Rummage sale.

Land planted continuously to corn in this Illinois experiment yielded about half as much during the last ten years as it did in 1888, the first year shown on the chartOn land planted to a rotation of oats and corn the corn yield at the end of 43 years was about half the yield at the beginning of the experiment. Ou land planted to ALFALFA NEEDS GOOD FERTILITY Legume Draws Heavily Upon Soil For Plant Foods, Expert Says — It is important that all old stands of alfalfa have plenty of plant food in an available form, to produce successful crops of high quality hay, urges O. T. Coletnan of the Missouri College of Agriculture. Alfalfa requires a higher level of fertility for success than the grass and weeds that are commonly found growing with it, and if this extra plant food is not present in available form the grass and weeds will be able to survive and grow to better advantage than will the alfalfa. As a result of the dry years of 1934 and 1530. and the graeshep per damage and the dry fall of 1937, most alfalfa stands will likely be rather thin and weedy next summer. Abundant moisture between now and next spring, and during the early part of the growing season, will greatly improve this condition provided there is sufficient available phosphorus, potassium, and calcium or lime present iu the soil for the growing crop. If this is not the case,’ the more favorable the moisture conditions are for growth the greater will the competition likely be from undesirable grasses and weeds. It is more or less common belief that, once a field is well established in good alfalfa, it will take care of itself so far as plant food is concerned, but this is not the.

Clark Osterheld of Dane County, ' Wisconsin, raises alfalfa hay as his main cash crop. Three years ago, after baling from the mow for many years, he started to use the pick-up baling rig pictured at the top. He likes this plan best because it saves aU the leaves—preserves the bright green color—and the hay is ready to sell as it leaves the field. It has the extra quality that . brings the extra price. Purdue * university designed the cult creep illustrated at the left—for feeding grain to suckling colts.

a rotation of corn, oats and clover, supplemented by applications of manure, phosphate and lime, yields increased by 17 per cent over a 28-year period. Duiing the last 10 years, this land yielded on the average more than two and one-half times us much as did Ind in continuous corn, a lease. It is true that this crop is i able to supply its own needs for nitrogen from the air, provided it 11 is properly inoculated and is grow- . ing on a soil that is adapted to it ■ and to the development of this ini oculation. But poor development ■ of nodules are often obtained on flat, poorly-drained soils that are . low in the essential plant foods. Alfalfa is a heavy feeder on i phosphorus, potassium, and calcii um, and the only place it can get i these is from the soil. For this i reason it is quite essential that I these plant foods either exist in > the soil or that they are added in ' the form of lime, fertilizer, or both. 0 I functe Jim Sags! r i— i i ■ * AX-K 1 J IM/ ftV al I 11 >1 <&* 45 ; "My sister Kate, who lives in the ' city, writes us that a dependable ■ supply of food and fiber is surely ’ appreciated when it comes to stay--1 ing within a family budget.” If you are looking for a good home attend the Public l Auction at 908 N. 3rd st..

And it will work just as well for pushing beef calves along. You can take a lot of heavy lifting out of butchering by making a pair of “scissors” out of 2 x 4 timbers to hold one end of the pole —and lifting the carcasses with a block and tackle. Harry Dandliker, Jr., of Richardson County, Nebraska, raised 13 Chester Whites from one litter. They gained an average of 1.43 lbs. per day. Average weight at 200 days was 286 lbs. or a total of 1.86 tons for the euuis litter.

CORRECT CARE IS NEEDED NOW Work Animals Should Be Examined Frequently In Winter Time Correct feeding, exercise, care of the feet, and treatment for intern--lal parasites, should be watched ! if farm work animals are to be in desirable condition when the spring work begins, says T- A. Ewing of the Missouri College of Agricul--4 ture. The same applies to the proper development of colts and year- ■ lings. The ration for horses will depend on the age, sex. and the amount of work being done. Mature, . idle horses will not require much grain it fed some legume hay. I Nine pounds of grass hay and 9 pounds of legume hay per day will be adequate for idle horses. If no legume hay is available it will be necessary to double the grass hay and feed 1 pound of linseed oil meal or soybean oil meal per ' head daily. Another ration could be 12 to 15 pounds of silagd, 6 pounds of silage, 6 pounds of oat ' or barley straw, and 6 pounds of legume hay. Horses doing light work should receive 4 to 5 pounds of corn or ' 6 pounds of oats daily, plus roughagesT. These suggested rations are for 1200-pound horses. Brood mares will require the legume hay or protein supplement, plus 4 to 6 pounds of grain. The grain should be a mixture of oats and bran and protein supplement. Corn or bar--1 ley can be used in place of the oats. A mineral mixture of fully ground limestone, bonemeal, and salt, equal parts by weight, should be supplied. Horses' feet should be trimmed as often as required. Colts’ feet | should be trimmed every four to six weeks to have well shaped feet on the mature horse. To do a satisfactory job of trimming, it is necessary to pick the foot up and use a hoof knife and a hoof cutter on the bottom of the foot instead of using a saw, chisel, or cum knife with the foot on the ground. Internal parasites that cadse the most trouble in horses are bots, round-worms, palisade worms and pin worms. Horses should be treated in December for bots, and in May and again in September for worms. o Mrs. Frederic Schafer and Mrs. ■ C. J. Beavers spent Thursday - morning in Fort Wayne.
