The Farm and The Farmer By William R. 8anborn

James Ardery, of Bllllngsvllle, Union county, says that there Is a revival of Interest In tobacco down there. Many farmers are going to put In burley tobacco. He says there is good tobacco land in that section. The statement of a Liberty veterinarian that Union county will have but half of an average pig crop

to feed this year probably is about correct. Some men were very unlucky during cold weather. H. H. Smith, of near Liberty, says that he has 50 acres of very promising wheat and will plant 80 acres to corn, if It stops raining long enough to get his big tractor and gang into the fields to prepare the seed bed.

Says that he isn't going strong on

hogs this year. Mr. Smith is farm

ing 240 acres and had a fine crop of

corn last year. Beet, Poultry and Jerseys

Horace LaMarr, Union county, active in federation work, lover of Jersey cattle and has a registered herd.

has an acre of White Leghorn chick

ens and a spring start of 40 odd

stands of bees, among which he was

at work when the writer dropped in. Mr. LaMarr remarked that one of the first things done when he located on this farm was to build a modern home for his chickens, and that these well repaid good housing and care. "As to hogs," Bald he, "am not go-

Farm Federation

The Iowa federation advocates the keeping of stock records, and the head of the farm management department of Iowa is lending assistance. The work is done in co-operation with the farm bureau and 30 Marshall county farmers installed cost account records during last week. The record keeps a detailed account of all crops, the live stock grown, sold or handled in any manner in connection with the farm, machinery costs and depreciation, and a profit and loss account on all farm operations. This means putting farm operations on a business like basis which will show the leaks and where the profits are made. It will prove to the farmer what it costs him to do business. Many farmers have kept such records for years, particularly pure bred stock breeders and large landholders with numerous tenants, but the average farmer has been mighty shy in his bookkeeping. Cars Won't Hold Wheat. Any number of co-operative elevator men are complaining not only of inability to get sufficient cars to move grain to central markets, but also that many of the cars will not hold wheat, one concern reporting seven cars out of 13 switched in, in that condition. It is a fact, too, that elevator men everywhere are obliged to repair cars for bulk grain shipments. It is claimed that we are now short 800,000 freight cars.

ing to make a ripple in the hog market this year, but shall do a little business in good milch cows. Have

40 acres of wheat in, but a lot of it will not be worth cutting; shall plant 35 acres to corn." There is about 1,000 acres of land lying close to Kltchel, 200 acres of which is to be planted to corn, and on which 180 acres of wheat is now growing. "Some of this wheat is all right," said E. A. Kitchell, "but not all of it by any means, nor even the most of it. We have sown, clover and timothy in much of this wheat and oats in part. He intends planting about 200 acres of corn. Mr. Kitchell is feeding 100 head of Herefords, but is going mighty slow on hogs, in fact, he wintered no brood sows. His feeding operations will largely depend on the price of hogs later. Is Farming 400 Acres. "Of 80 acres of wheat, half looks like a crop," said Homer Lafuse, "the rest is not so promising. It has all been sown to clover and timothy, and with a little growing weather after all this drenching, we ought to be better able to Judge the outlook." Mr. Lafuse has 30 brood sows and 130 pigs to Bhow

for his winter feeding, with some still to arrive. He complains of losses of pigs; says they were not strong and lively, that cold killed them quickly, and that his neighbors reported much the same conditions, throughout Union county. Mr. Lafuse has some choice fruit in prospect. His apricots were a mass of bloom on Thursday, these being the earliest to blossom of all our orchard varieties, and will ripen in June, when

the season is normal, he stated.

Wheat Crops Cut in Two. James Wilt, of Lewisburg, O., says that the wheat crop has been cut 50 per cent by fly and winter killing. He has a lot of young pigs which look promising, and more sows to farrow later, but that there was a heavy loss of cold weather pigs around Lewisburg. He knows no one who grows potatoes for market, and says there is a shortage of seed so that even farm home planting may be limited; also on account of high prices where seed Is on offer. "Fruit all O. K. to date." The soils and crops department at Purdue says: "If wheat was worth $2.20 in 1917, the 1920 crop should bring not less than $3 per bushel." Also that: "If corn was worth 80 cents in 1914, the 1920 crop should sell at $1.75 to $2."

Farmers May Pool Wool !

Clip; Discussed at Meeting Of County Agents in Henry "Several counties were represented at the meeting of county agents at

Newcastle on Friday," said E. F. Murphy, who attended. The meeting was called to discuss the benefits to be derived by wool growers from the formation of a pool.

The idea is to pool the wool of these counties in a district pool, each county to have a central delivery point, where the wool can be inspected and sold, or shipped. It is expected that many buyers would be present to compete at such sales, as announced. The wool would be Bold in a series of sales, and the aggregate offering would be large enough to command attention of big buyers, on different dates. County Agent Murphy says there are 6,000 sheep in Wayne and that about 42,000 pounds of wool will be shorn. At an average saving of 10 cents per pound to the grower there would be a net of $4,200 gained over the money obtained' from separate sales. It is claimed that the farmers who went into the pool last year made an extra 70 cents on the fleece.
