The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

Joseph H. Ware, of West Manchester, farmer and formerly an implement dealer, happened in on us Tuesday. Mr. Ware raises from three to five acres ' ?bJ1acP? as.a, sldt? lin,e' iv savs. and it is his opinion that nearly two-thirds of the local crop already has been marketed. He says that the bulk of the sales around his town was made at 12 cents a pound. "Farmers were not especially pleased with that price," said Mr. Ware, "and I think the tendency will be to cut the tobacco acreage this spring. In fact, I look for a reduction in the corn acreage as well and an increase in hay and pasturage. This would reduce the farmer's hard work and do away with the need for hiring labor to work crops that do not pay a profit. With regard to the spring pig crop Mr. Ware said that several of his neighbors are complaining of heavy losses of Dies. He cited one case of ! a farmer having but seven pigs leit out of 50 farrowed, and told of another who reports saving but a dozen out of around 70 little ones. He knew of no disease being prevalent among sows or feeders, nor could he give any reason for the loss of so many pislets, aside from so many wet aad chilly davs at farrowing time. Hogs Well Sold Out In a brief chat with J. M. Leas, of the bank at West Manchester, we were told that some "farmers were comDlainine of saving fewer pigs this spring than are usually saved, but could give no apparent good reason for the heavy losses, compared with ordinary years. Mr. Leas said that the last fall pig crop has been mostly marketed and that the surplus grain had about all been shipped out. He stated that the recent sales of tobacco had put a little life into farm and trade circles. Spring Plowing Delayed The efficient farmer who has put in all the time possible at plowing has J had numerous resting spells so far this season. The rider over our country roads will note many partially plowed fields, and many others still awaiting breaking, because of alternating days of sunshine and rain. This means more concentrated effort and longer days of plowing when spring finally comes to stay and gladden the earth. , . The resignation of Dean Eugene Davenport, of the college of agriculture and director of the experiment station at the University of Illinois, has been accepted by the trustees of the university. Dean Davenport became the instructor at the university in 1S95, and has been dean of the agricultural school for many years. His successor has not been named. In Days of Dime Steaks Thomas E. Wilson, of Wilson & Co., says that the average American is eating annually a little more than his own weight in meat. He places the aversge per capita in 1921 at 156 pounds. In 1900 it was 181 pounds and Mr. Wilson considers the dwindling appetite for meat a serious menace. Per-

haps it isn't a dwindling appetite bo ?Ub? grain iraae seems to De trymuch as a dwindline Durse which is !?S to tne best of lts ablllty to give

much as a dwindling purse which is cutting down consumption. The fact is that meat is consumed in proportion to the demand or appetite, subject to the very important limitation of the consumer's ability to supply that demand at current prices. Treating of this subject the Galveston Daily News says: "America buys less meat per capita, because America can not afford to do otherwise. The evidence of this assertion isn't hard to produce. Take your stand at any butcher shop today and wait for the customer who asks for a dime steak. He won't come. If he did he would get precious little steak. In 1900 a dime steak would supply a family of four or five, with trimmings enough for the family dog." If that was true in Galveston back in 1900 that Texas town must have been supplied with mighty cheap cattle and a thrifty lot of retail market men. Whenever you can supply a family of five and the house dog with a steak dinner for a dime, there will be something wrong with our finances, also the live stock business.

We don't know how many of our farmers or town plot potato growers have experimented with sprouting seed potatoes before planting, but an authorative statement comes out of Missouri to the effect that to do so is worse than useless. These experiments have been carried on for the past four jears, ana nere are the conclusions given out: "The seed potatoes which were to be sprouted were removed from storage about two weeks before planting time and spread out in a thin layer on a slatted tray which was placed in a well lighted basement room. After sprouting for ten days or more, the potatoes were cut to uniform sized Pieces and planted by hand to prevent breaking the sprouts. "The results showed conclusively that the practice did not pav. It actually decreased the yield of No. 1 potatoes, decreased the total yield and increased the percentage of culls. Costly Hog Shipping A Jo Daviess county, Illinois, farmer writes the editor of the Prairie Farmer with respect to the cost of freight and handling of hogs at Chicago After asking "what has become of the overcharge for unloading stock, we were to get back," he savs: "It takes $50.15 to ship a doubledeck car of hogs 120 miles to Chicago, 20 cents for inspection, $9.81 for yardage, seven cents fire insurance. $24.30 commission and $1.10 per bushel for iour Dushels of corn. Next thing we know they will charge us for the air our livestock breathe." Armenians Eating Corn. American corn grits and corn flour are making their first appearance in Soviet Armenia and other parts of the near east this year, these having been substituted for wheat and rice on r.n extensive scale by the Near East relief, in its work in Asia Minor and the Caucasus. An effort to make corn products popular among the Turks in the Constantinople area also has been inaugurated. As a result 17 public institutions in Constantinople have agreed to give corn products a month's trial, substituting same fur wheat and rice. If the people of these regions take kindly to our corn in its various forms, it would result in a material widening of our market, coin being so much cheaper than either wheat or rice, delivered in these regions. Praises Grain Dealers. "The local grain dealers seem to be handling corn this year on a much more economical basis than they did a year ago," says Wallaces' Farmer. "A year ago the price for No. 2 corn at Chicago was customarily about 20 cents a bushel above the country elevator price in Iowa. This 20-cent differential in early 1921 compared with a pre-war normal of about 13.5 cents. Today the differential is back again practiclly to the pre-war point. This Is partly a result of the decrease of three cents a bushel in freight rates from Iowa to Chicago, and partly be cause the grain trade seems to be trythe very best service. "Of the 14-cent differential between Iowa and Chicago at the present time, about 10.5 cents represents freight, 1 cents difference in grade, and How To Raise Baby Chicks Put Avicol in the drinking water Most people lose half of every hatch, and seem to expect it. Chick cholera, or white-diarrhoea, is the cause. An Avicol tablet in the drinking water will save your chicks from all such diseases. Within 48 hours the sick ones will be lively as crickets. Mrs. Wm. May, Hego, Ind., writes "I was losing 10 or 15 chicks n. rinv from diarrhoea before I received ths Avicol. I haven't lost ono since." It costs nothing to try Avicol. Use it either for preventing or treating white diarrhoea and all bowel diseases of poultry. If not satisfied, your money will be promptly refunded.

1'rA tORRX got i'llI HAVE TO WAKE HM about two cents handling charges and commissions. "If the, railroads and steamship companies were serving the farmer as economically, as the grain trade, it would be possible for the Iowa farmer at the present time to get at least five cents a bushel more for his corn. This wolud be roughly equivalent to adding about $25 an acre to the value of Iowa corn land. "Our readers well know that in the past we have been rather critical of I ciio giam uaue. . e ueueve, nowever. w giving creau wnere credit is aue, and if the grain trade Is now handling corn between Iowa and Chicago on the basis of. pre-war differentials in spite of the freight rates 50 percent above pre-war, we believe that our readers ought to know about it." SEEK TO PLACE BOY ON FARM INSTEAD OF REFORM SCHOOL Russell Clift, 14 years old, wants to live on a ranch. At least, that is what he told Judge Bond, ln substance, when arraigned before the Judge in juvenile court Tuesday morning. He had been brought In for forging a check. "Russell, is there any place on earth where you would be satisfied?" asked the judge when the boy was brought before him. Russell shook hi3 head. "Is there any particular job you would like to have?" "I'd like to work on a ranch," he said. "What could you do on a ranch?' he was asked. "I could herd cattle and keep others from getting mixed in my herd," Russell answered. "How about working on a farm?" Russell was not so sure about wan'' ing to go on a farm, but he agreed it was the nearest approach to a ranch that was available. . County officials are anxiou3 to place the boy on a farm instead of sending him to a reform school. Anyone wishing to take care of the boy is urged to notify the court.
