AMERICAN TRACTORS USED TO SHOW RUSS METHODS OF FARMING

By JOHN GRAUDENZ (United Press Staff Correspondent.) WpRETSCHAGINA. Russia, Sept. 25. Here In the Ural on a stretch of land covering 15,000 dessantines (approximately 45,000 acres). 20 Americans are today performing pioneer work which some day will serve as a model for Russia's entire agricultural system. "With 21 tractors, the small American colony is working hard to till as much land for this fall's sowing as possible. In shifts, they are working

around the clock 18 hours ploughing, four hours theoretical and two hours practical lessons for the neighboring farmers. The practical lessons are being performed on the farmer's land, in order to craet a fayorable feeling amongst the farmers, who are inclined to regard these pioneers as enemies. Belongs to State: This stretch of land represents a fraction of the area owned by the Soviet state, which holds a total area of five per cent of the total Russian agricultural land. In olden times the czaristic administration, which in turn gave control to owners of large industrial plants for the purpose of feeding the industrial workers of mines and plants located nearby. This particular stretch of land, for instance, always has been attached to the "Kiesel Kope," a coal mine which employs even today 24,000 workingmen. This model farm is on the same level and offers the same conditions as Texas. Company Formed. In order to secure the feeding of its large number of workmen, the management of the Kiesel mine proposed to the American colony to go there and form a joint company. As a consequence a company has been formed between the Kiesel mine, the "first tractor basis" of American workmen and a nearby superphosphate factory formerly owned by Prince Jussupoff,

one of Russia's richest men. The government leased to the company this stretch of land on a ten years contract, free of charge outside the regular natural tax. The mine provides all the required material for the electrification of the whole area, the benzine, the naptha and the transportation. The superphosphate factory distributes entire production. Urge Fertilizer Use. Today the Russian peasant uses artificial fertilizer very rarely and in small quantities. One of the main purposes of the factory is to make propaganda for the consumption of artificial fertilizer. The ultimate aim of this company is to till all the 15,000 dessatines, which are needed to feed the 24,000 workmen of the coal mine and the equal expected number of factory workers, sixty tractors are needed to till the 15,000 dessatines owned by the company. To transport the tractors a complete road had to be built along the seyenty werst from the railway station to the farm grounds. The American workmen receive $S a day wage while the Russian workmen are contented with 10,000,000 roubles or about $2.50 per day.

COOL SPELL BOOSTS FRESH PORK PRICES LOCAL YARDS REPORT

Cool weather and more promising labor conditions are stimulating the stock markets, cool weather being especially responsible for a better demand for fresh pork, says Rome Shurley, of the Shurley stock yards. The top for Saturday for choice lights

was $10, heavies, $9 to $9.50; sows, $5 to $7.50. The market was steady on dry fed tattle, lower on others; calves steady, choice $12; heavy calves, $4 to $6. Lambs were higher with choice animals of 70 to 80 pounds at $12 to $13; culls, $3 to $6. Including stock on through billing, 20 car loads of stock were handled last week, consisting of 300 cattle, 120 sheep, 510 hogs, 50 veal calves. The Shurley yards received 418 hogs, for which $7482 was paid, and paid $1034 for 17 cattle, and $717 for 35 veal calves. Large deliveries were made as follows : - Myron Hill, 68; Walter Beeson, Webster, 30;. Harry Hernley, Winchester, 65; Warren Fudge, Winchester, 51; C. C. Longnecker, Lynn, 18; W. H.

Indiana farmers are urged to observe the fly-free date this year in sowing wheat or rye, the same as has been done the last few years. Through the general observance of the fly-free date in 1921 and the year before, the fly has been greatly reduced in numbers but still Is present in most localities in Indiana, according to Prof. J. J. Davis, head of the entomology department of Purdue university.

Experimental work covering the last eight or ten years has shown that if wheat or rye is sown after certain dates, that is after the fly emerges, that it will not be attacked by the fly. However, one farmer in a community sowing before this date is liable to cause enough flies to hatch to infest rields in the entire community. For this reason, community action Is necessary.
