THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY COUtf--1 TY AGENT LEAMING. i —— Completes Feeding Trial. That a ration of corn and tankage for hogs is a profitable and practical scheme of feeding is the conclusion of Erhardt Wuerthner, of Newton township, who has recently completed a feeding trial on his farm. This trial did not receive official supervision and the results are printed as reported by Mr. Wuerthner: ■> 19 pigs, farrowed between August 15th and 20th, 1918, were used in the trial. The sows were fed corn and tankage until the pigs were weaned on October 15th, when the pigs were weaned and placed on a grass lot on corn, tankage and water. The pigs w%re Sold February 18th at $16.50 per cwt., the average weight being 181 pounds. .. The feed record is as follows: Corn fed sows, bushels. Corn fed pigs, 190 bushels. Total corn fed, 210 bushels. Total tankage fed (low grade) 400 pounds. Cost of tankage. ... . --$ 18.40 .Selling price of hogs.... 557.43 Return from 210 bu. corn. 539.03 Return bu. corn 2.56 With corn at $1.20 per bushel the profit per hog would be $15.10. While, as a cost of production record, this report is somewhat incomplete, not taking into account,, the total cost of feeding the hrood sows, the interest and depreciation on lots, hogs and feeding equipment, the returns shown by the report are adequate to illustrate the point that hog feeding is profitable when similar rations are used. The use of a ration of corn and tankage is being adopted by more farmers each year and it is only a question of time when this system will be a universal practice. Beekeepers Meet March 10th. President Frank Foltz has called a meeting of all the beekeepers of the county, which will be held in the court house at 1:30 Monday, March 10 th.

Mr. E. G. Baldwin of the Department of Entomology will be present again and take up a 'discussion of spring and summer management of the apairy. Prof. Baldwin made many friends among the bee keepers when he met with them here last fall and a promise can be made that no one will he disappointed in him. Mr. Foltz especially desires that the women and children of the county also attend this meeting as beekeeping fits in as a side line which may be handled very nice’ly by them. Livestock Men Submit Program. The County Livestock committee has submitted the following program of work which it expects to develop in the county this season as a factor in increasing livestock profits: 1. Self feeder demonstrations— A series of demonstrations of the use of the self feeder as a means of reducing the cost of pork production, Joseph Koihoff has agreed to secure demonstrators in Carpenter, Milroy, Marion and Newton townships; Alfred Duggleby in Kankakee, Walker and Gillam townships; George Heilman in Wheatfield and Keener townships. , , , , Self feeder plans will be furnished through the county agent’s office. The committee will arrange with the local dealers for a carload of tankage, the farmers to get the material off the car and to pay the dealer for this trouble. 2. Demonstrations in hogging off corn and soybeans, to determine the value of hogging off these crops over hand feeding. 3. Pure bred sales. The committee will ask the president of the County Livestock Breeders’ association to hold a special meeting of the organization on April 26th. to consider the advisability of holding a pure bred livestock sale this fall. ~4. A livestock survey. The committee will undertake to find out how many farmers are using pure bred sires of all classes of stock, and a list of those not using pure bred sires. Men not using pure bred sires will be urged to use them and assistance will he given in locating good sires. 5. A livestock tour. A recommendation that the livestock association conduct a livestock tour during the summer. . ~ t , 6. Livestock show. A livestock show will be held next fall. 7. Community building. The committee recommended that steps be taken to construct a community building suitable for public gatherings, shows, sales and meetings of all kinds. The livestock program is one of several adopted at the general meeting last Tuesday. Other programs will be published as space permits. .

KEEP THE LOAN FIRES BURNING, WORKERS!

"Finish the Job" Should B« the Slogan of Victory Liberty Loan Leaders of Seventh District SOLDIERS STICK TO POSTS Chairman and Thair Alda Must Not Quit Until All the Govammenfs War Obligations Hava * Been Discharged. Returns at the five state headquarters In Chicago show that the county chairmen and other important workers in the Seventh Federal Reserve district are signing np for the fifth big loan. They are actuated by the same sense of duty, it is reported, as fills the breasts of the soldiers now -held in France. The soldiers over there long for home; but they realise .that their work Is not done. Garrisons I must be held along the Rhine until |peace has been formally signed and the terms of the peace treaty have been carried out.

In the same way It la generally recognised by chairmen and other workers throughout the Seventh Federal Reserve district, the men whe are responsible for the financial part of the war, cannot quit until the financial Obligations are discharged.* The big bills for undertaking come In immediately after the completion of that work. It would be an Irresponsible business man, It Is conceded, on all hands, who would refuse responsibility for that part of his contractor’s bills that came in after the driving of the last nail.

The Fourth Liberty Loan paid off the then outstanding treasury certificates of Indebtedness and furnished enough new money to carry the government until mid-December. Since that date the treasury department has been borrowing from the banks at the rate of $300,000,000 a week, and by the time the Victory Loan is offered will owe nearly six billion dollars. The Fifth loan money will pay off these bank loans and carry the government until tiie money raised under the 1918 revenue act begins to come in. The sudden termination of the war brought an increase In the day to day military expenditures. The total for December passed, for the first time, the two billion mark. The January total was slightly less, but exceeded any other month except January. February promises to show a considerable decrease. The high daily outlays since the end of fighting have, been due to the liquidation of the war machine, and were unavoidable. Thera is still a great mass of contract obligations to be cleared away—contracts entered into by business men for the rush production of munitions that would have been absolutely essential had the war gone on for a few weeks or months longer. Chairmen and workers who happen to hear of anyone who is declining to participate in the next loan have ready to their hands a set of the best possible arguments against this sort of conduct. In the first place the man who refuses to work in the next loan or to buy bonds of the next issue can be charged with being a quitter or a coward. Neither is an especially American attribute. As a nation Americans have the reputation of seeing a thing through. And the fields of France proclaim that they are not cowards. But the infrequent loan worker who is saying that he cannot find time to participate in the Victory drive, or does not feel any obligation to do so may be charged with cowardice. It is generally recognized where such an attitude is encountered that the man fears the fifth loan will not be a success. The man who is preparing to quit now, it is pointed out, is doing so because he ddes not want to be identified with a failure. The answer to this ls that none of the 8,000 marines who stopped the victorious German march on Paris at Chateau Thierry asked to be excused from going into the fight because he expected it to be a failure. Yet all the foreign military men thought that the Americans could aot stop the Germans at this point. Another argument answers a good deal of half-hearted comment which maintains that it makes no difference whether the banks have to take the loan. But the business man or the wage garner who thinks that It makes no difference to him is decidedly mistaken. If the public does not take the bonds the banks, as everyone knows, must do soT Now on December 31 -the national banks of the country had resources of $20,042,224,000, This was the first time In the nation’s history that the total ever got above ‘the twenty-billion mark. This enormous banking power shows,.< for <me thing, that the nation can take another six billion loan with ease if the organization gets out and, works. But it also shows soniething else. The twenty billion, of course, is greatly more than the total that is actually available for credit operations. If the banks should have to take the greater part of the next loan, and to add this, burden to the more than two billion now tied up in Liberty loans, and the additional treasnry certificates

J that will be issued next summer and 1 fall, there wIU be a very much reduced balance for general business credit accommodation. Everyone knows what credit limitations did to business in the days when fighting was going on. The readjustment pause that has followed has lessened the demand, but the minute business starts forward on the reconstruction boom, as It will in a short time, every dollar of credit facilities possible will be In demand, and any such limitation as a failure of the loan would entail would mean business stagnation and unemployment Every loan worker In the Seventh Federal Reserve district must realize that the success of bis own business, or the size of bis own pay envelope,- is tied bp with the success of the government’s financial plan. Finally, the nation has such an enormous amount of new wealth that it is Impossible to assume that the loan will fay. Everything says that, unless patriotism and common sense werd botfi' stricken dead In every American breast upon the signing of the armistice, the loan will be a success. National bank deposits in 1913 amounted to only $6,051,689,087; today they amount to $15,051,000,000. Farm-profits on the 1918 crop have been enormous and the 1919 crop promises to be the greatest in history. The hard-coal mines of the country produced 76,649,918 gross tons of new wealth in 1918 and the petroleum wells added 345,500,000 barrels of oil. The national balance of trade —the excess of exports over imports—has grown •from $252,677,921 In 1900 to $8,150,000,000 in 1918. In four short years we have changed from a debtor nation owing $4,000,000,000 abroad, to a creditor nation that is owed $10,000,000,000 by foreign nations and their people. And lastly, American banks hold the greatest accumulation of gold ever known in history—as much as is owned by the next eight most wealthy nations put together. Any citizen who fears that the fifth loan cannot and will not be subscribed has little of the courage and confidence that made America famous at Chateau Thierry and Cantigny and in the Argonne Forest.

WOMEN BIG HELP ON VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN

Preliminary Work Is Well Mapped Out —Big Showing In Former Leant to Be Exceeded This Time. Preliminary returns show that the women workers of the Seventh Federal Reserve district are out to make a big showing in the Victory Liberty Loan. Women chairmen and worker* are everywhere signing up for the fifth campaign- There have been very few resignations, It Is reported, from women who felt that their obligation to the nation had ended because the fighting in France was ended. On the contrary, it is asserted by Miss Grace Dixon, director for women, Seventh district, and by other leaders In the women’s loan activities, the women workers feel more strongly than ever their to get out and personally go after bond subscriptions. The very fact that individuals are found who do not appreciate the obligation resting upon the civilian population has aroused in double force the patriotic sense of duty in the breast of the women workers. These are asserting through letters received at Chicago headquarters by every mall that they intend to work twice as hard ad in any preceding loan—if that be possible—in order to counteract the "quitter” sentiment that is manifesting itself among certain Individuals In every community. Preliminary work is well mapped out in a majority of the counties in the district It Is planned to have a larger number of .women workers enrolled everywhere than was the case in the preceding loans. Workers already are securing pledges from recruits and veterans and it is promised that a better'Showing will be made in every state than in any of the Llb*rty loans so far placed. The Fifth loan, it Is pointed out, will come at a time when women on the farms and in the smaller communities cad give an especially large amount of time to the loan work. The drive, coming in April, will precede the active farm and garden work and The women will, therefore, be in a position to concentrate on the campaign In a way they were unable to' do in the Fourth loan. The results of the Victory Loan are expected to prove a monument to the patriotism and self-sacrifice es the women of the Seventh Federal Reserve district, for the spirit of service is the animating principle of the American people at this time.
