County Agricultural News

Department of Farm Welfare Conducted by County Agent Dwight Mawhorter.

How Farmers Cut Cost of .Living Why can the farmer continue in business when the financial summary of his operation shows at the end of the year a margin of profit so small as to be insufficient to support his family? It is because of the food, fuel and shelter furnished the family by the farm. “These contributions,” ‘ says the United States department of agriculture, “are not a cash receipt from the farm business, but they enable the farmer to reduce materially the cash cost of living.”' So far as food, fuel and shelter are concerned two-thirds of the farmer’s living is furnished directly from the farm. The food retained for the family use may be raised especially for the family or may be taken from the regular farm products raised for market. No farm plan seems conn plete without its family garden. A part of the day’s supply of milk and a part of the day’s collection or eggs is used in preparing meals for the family. Similarly, other food products are diverted to the pantry, cellar or smokehouse instead of being sent to town to be sold. The farm wood lot, condemned fruit trees, discarded fence rails and posts, and pruning wood furnish fuel for cooking and heating. These perquisites are not Furnished altogether free of cost to the

farmer. They represent labor and Invested capital. Much of tne labor, however, is performed at times when the work of the main farm business is not very pressing and frequently a considerable part of it is done by women or children. Thus the actual cost of these things to the farmer is insignificant or at most is considerably less than It would be if they were bought. Pictures and descriptions of important methods followed by the farmers inutilizing the food, fuel, shelter and other things that the farm furnishes free of money cost are published by the United States department of agriculture in Farmers’ Bulletin 1082, “Home Supplies Furnished by the Farm.” Copies may be had free from the Division of Publications, United States Depart-ment-of Agriculture. Twin Calves John Slgo’s pure-bred Shorthorn heifer, which he showed at the live stock show a year ago, brpke another record by giving birth to twin calves. Jasper’s Horses Jasper county has some of the finest pure-bred Belgian horses in the state, out of the noted imported Crouch blood. Garland H. Grant, a progressive farmer, has two stallions out of this blooded stock. He is worthy of comment for he raised them and has developed as fine show animals as there is in this part of the country. Timber Helps Poor Lands Timber is essentially a poor land crop. Steep slopes, poor soil, rocky land, unusual corners, gullied and wooded tracts —all these afford opportunities for growing timber profitably, say specialists of the forest service. United States department of agriculture. A careful survey of the average farm will reveal a surprising number of spots of this sort which can be utilized to advantage. If they do not already have trees, planting them with the proper varieties will materially increase the value of the land. Spring Pigs The managers of the shippers’ association report that the number of spring pigs is surprisingly small. Nearly every farmer reports that their spring litters are far below the average. Others report a high death rate. One farmer In jordan township says that he has 16 pigs left out of 90. This situation is very alarming from the standpoint of pork production. It necessarily follows that the number of hogs put on the market this fall will be decreased considerably, and that the prices will go higher unless the western supply Is above the average. Spraying Trees This is the time of the year when one sees the wise fruit-grower out With his spraying outfit applying the different sprays to his apple, cherry, peach and plum trees. At present time indications are for a heavy crop of peaches in Indiana. To save this crop we must spray them. The brown rot is a very serious disease in the peach orchards. The curculio is very injurious, causing wormy peaches and plums. Arsenate of lead solution is very effective in controlling the curculio. Help lower the high cost of living by saving what

Popular Leader of Peacetime Army

MISS EVANGELINE C. BOOTH, Commander of the Salvation Army in the United States.

WITH the $14,000,000 fund generously contributed by the country t® the Salvation Army last May all but exhausted through the Army’s unparalleled year of activities and service throughout the country. Commander Miss Booth is now marshaling her forces for the organization’s second nation-wide Home Service Appeal to be held May 10 to 20. “It makes me extremely happy to report, even before the full statistics of the year’s work are in hand,” the Commander stated in New York recently, “that never before in the history of the organization in this country has the Salvation Army’been able to ac-

we have and what nature is growing for us. The City Library Few city libraries have as many country book borrowers as they should. Some localities have large direct country circulation, and are a great asset to the country. Many of the books are attractive and educational to the farmer by furnishing him with timely subjects, such as fly control, clothing and studies on goods; also many other country-wide projects for the coming year.

complish so much for the poor, the distressed, the sick, the unfortunate and the erring. “All this is because of the magnificent way America has supported our efforts. We are deeply thankful to God and country for the opportunities of Christian and humanitarian service that have been afforded us during the last few months. Very shortly, now, we shall give an accounting of our trusteeship, and soon thereafter we plan to go to the country again for the encouragement and funds with which to maintain our many vital activities throughout another twelvemonth.”
