Department of Farm Welfare Conducted by County Agent

County Agent's Service In order that you have the service of the county agent you must necessarily know his phone number. As there is no assistant in the office it is obvious that you use my home phone number, which is 405. This same phone was left in the house for your benefit. For some reason there are calls coming in every day for me at my old rooming place and not at my home. “Central” has been notified concerning the home call and if they give you the Old number Instead of the new, it is easy to find the mistake. I certainly want to be of service to you and when you cannot locate me at the office, call the house and learn my whereabouts.

Hauter Culling Demonstration Results Seven days prior to the culling demonstration on Aug. 4 Mrs. Oscar Hauter gathered 235 eggs from her 120 hens, and the seven days following the demonstration the 76 remaining hens laid 195 eggs. With these figures we have 40 eggs less after the demjonstration than before, but there were 15 hens following the demonstration which started to set which accounts for the diminished egg record. Mrs. Hauter sold her 45 cull hens at 36 cents per pound, making her a neat little sum of money for hens which were yielding nothing. She is well satisfied with the results of the culling of her flock. Look for the Hessian fly free date posters which are being placed in Several of the stores and banks all oyer the county.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

held Sept. 9 at Winamac. E. H. Cunningham, secretary of the lowa State Farm Bureau, will be the principal speakers. A tractor demonstratlop will be held in the forenoon. This will be of special value to the farmers of Jasper county since we are going to organize our farmers’ association, beginning Sept. 13. Let’s make a tour of this for our farmers and attend this picnic. Those wishing to attend, meet in front of the court house in Rensselaer at 8 o’clock Thursday morning, Sept. 9, and accompany the county agent to the picnic. Stock Show This Fall Plans are being formulated for the coming live stock show in Rensselaer some time in October, the date of which is not definitely set. What are you doing to prepare your stock for this show? Make your home county show a success by contributing your fine stock. There are numerous quantities of fine stock in this county of all types and breeds and there is no reason, why we should not have a fine show*.

Large Saving to Farmers Effected by Co-operatives Co-operative farmers' associations in the northern and western states, whose organization was promoted by county agents, last year effected a saving to the members of $5,434,000, according io reports made to the state’s relations service, United States department of agriculture. The governing principle in all activities on the part of county agents sharing in co-operative movements has been not to act as the direct business agent of the farmer or an organized group, but to assist farm- j ers in jletermfining what form of local organization is desirable and to secure expert assistance, when available, in organziation and wherever practicable advocates the use of existing agencies. The co-operative associations which the county agents have helped form have had to do with production and distribution and include co-operative grain elevators, creameries and livd stock selling associations. Other Culling Demonstrations We held a culling demonstration at Andrew Nusbaum’s, south of Remington, Saturday, Aug. 14. There was a large crowd of poultry enthusiasts out to witness the culling, which was a decided success. One remarkable feature to be learned from the demonstration was that even though some hens were moulting heavily they were still laying, for the simple reason that Mr. Nusbaum was feeding these hens a, balanced ration which egg production. Mrs. O. S. Bell, west and north of Parr, held a neighborhood culling with her flock of 31 hens. There were 18 neighbor ladies in attendance. Out of the 31 hens 10 were found to be non-producers. Schedule of Culling Demonstrations Following is a schedule of poultry culling demonstrations to be held in several of the different townships: Tuesday, 2 p. m., Aug. 24, at H. J. Kuppers’s, Barkley township, one mile east of Newland. Wednesday, 2 p. m., Aug. 25, at Charles Welch’s, Carpenter township, two miles east and one mile north of Goodland. Thursday, 2 p. m„ Aug. 26, at Rollin Stewart’s, Hanging Grove township, one mile north and east of Banta school house. Friday, 2 p. m„ Aug. 27, at Fred Waling’s, Newton township, two miles south and five miles west of Rensselaer. Tuesday, 2 p. m., Aug. 31, at Mason Barlow’s, Milroy township, three miles south and west of McCoysburg. These demonstrations, ladies, are worth your while to take off half a day and learn how to cull your own flock. Your non-producers aie yielding you nothing. Why not cull them. The average farm flock is on the average one-third non-pro-ducers.
