It is provided that there must be at least 18 lambs living at the time the final weights are taken. All lambs must be docked. Entries in the Hoosier Gold Medal Sheep club close on Jan. 31, and all entries must be in tne hands of the secretary or the associa tion before Feb. 5. as the announce ment states. The awards will be made at the annual meeting and Claude Harper, of Purdue, will act as Btate leader for the year 1923, In a press service letter irom tne office of the secretary of agriculture we find this comment; "The statistics available show a decrease of over 2i pounds per person in the amount of meot consumed each year In the Unit ed States. No doubt many factors are responsible for this situation. "Many persons still hold to the belief, which was largely the outgrowth of unfair and misguided propoganda, that meat is not healthy.' Medical science has proven over and over that a large number of ills once charged against meat eating are due to infec tion of teeth, tonsils and other organs Advice to the Public After stating that it "is obvious that a federal department representative of all the people and responsible for fur thering scientific production, distribution and utilization, cannot take a par tisan position either in favor of, or adverse to any useful product lawfully produced and distributed," the letter goes on to say that: "The Department's position, in brief, may be summarized by saying that meat is wholesome; that the live-stock industry is of fundamental importance to permantne agriculture, and hence to the interest of every citizen; and that for health and vigor we should eat weHl-balanced meals, including a va riety of kinds and ctfts of meats, making such substitutions as price varia tions show to be most economical. Chicago International. It is now stated that individual en tries for the International Live Stock Exposition at Chicago, December 2nd to 9th, have exceeded all records in the history of this great show. Even before the entry books were closed, it was foreseen that the high water marks established by proceeding Internationals were doomed to be wiped out by the flood of applications which poured in from all parts of the land. When the final count was made it was found that the anticipated increase had materialized beyond all expectations, considerably over five thousand individual animals having been listed. By the time the entries in the carload classes are closed November 25th it is expected that the total number of cattle, horses, sheep and swine entered in the various competitions will have far exceeded the ten thousand mark. Thirty-three distinct breeds of live stock will be represented in the 843 regular classes of the Exposition and over $100,000 will be distributed among the prize winners, besides the numerous ribbons, cups and other trophies offered as awards. Ohio's Standard Fertilizers. Consequent to the recent meeting in Chicago between mid-western agro nomists and fertilizer manufacturers, at which it was agreed to recommend and sell above all others, a comparatively few high-analysis fertilizers, the Ohio college of agriculture and experiment station has declared the following list of analyses, "The Standard Dozen," to be adequate for the needs of all crops grown in the state: 0160 0144 2162 0180 2122 3 8 ? 0200 2166 3124 0101 2142 4120 Ohio farmers are being urged to confine their purchases to these analyses In order that the present confusing multiplicity of low-analysis iertilizers' may be eliminated. All Grains Are Higher As was intimated in this column last week, the case in the federal court at Chicago .instituted by the Chicago board of trade, asking a permanent injunction against the enforcement oi the new Capper-Tincher law, has been sent to the supreme court for final decision. The recent advance in grains resulted in the highest closing prices of the year on the whole grain list. This means the "crop" year on wheat, and refers to the close last Friday at Chicago. Despite the climb on wheat futures several of which sold below $1 last summer, holders are expecting considerably higher prices for the wnole line. Several well posted grain firms are looking for at least 80 cent corn, says a Chicago market editor, al so for a still greater advance on wheat Farmers in Politics Reports in regard to the business or profession of members of the new leg islature show that there are at least 47 farmers on the roll. It is believed that there are enough merchants from agricultural districts for agrarian domination of the house, seven or eight workingmeri are to have seats in the house, most of them union labor men. In the senate will be seven farmers, four holdovers and three elected this year. Attorneys will be more numerous than any other class in the senate, the number being fourteen. There will be three editors, one book publisher, two bankers, seven manufacturers, three real estate dealers, two contractors and a scattering of other businesses and professions.

the Farmer Sanborn

Illinois with her 1.125.000 dairv cows ranks fourth among dairy states. Wisconsin holds first place with 2,202,000; . New York is second, with 1,695.000; iumnesoia nas 1.57S.000 cattle, taking third place. Not many think of Iowa with her huge crops of corn and hogs as being a dairy state, but she holds una piace with a dairy cow population of 1,093,000. A year ago December wheat at Chi cago ranged down as low as $1.03, and up to $L10, which shows activa trading, just as during the week end ing last Saturday. Last week the same option ranged at $L15 to a top of Sl-21. closing the week at almost ihe top of the season. A comparison i shows wheat averaged about 16 cents d a bushel, on all options, over pricca ruling at this time one year ago Cora also Is much higher than lasti season at this date. For examole. December corn struck a top of 72 c against a top or 49 c one year ago.. Here is noted an advance of more than 22 cents over last year's figures. The marking up of oats Is equally striking. This year we find December oats making a high of 44 cents, against a top of but 33 cents, or 10 cents under the current level., Now 22 cents on corn and 10 cents on oats are important differences and in view of the low figures on these grains, as compared to wheat, the addition to the farmer's income is very apparent when compared with a year ago, wherever the farmer is inclined to sell. Live Stock Prices. Last Saturday at Chicago came pretty close to bottom on the year as to average prices on hogs. The maiket was depressed largely owing to the poor average quality of the fresh receipts and leftovers. But at that, the average price on the week was $8.15 and the top of the day was $8.20. One of the reasons was a fire at the Armour plant so that the Armour house was out of the market entirely. Kegararess or Saturday being the low day on hogs, the average price on the week was $8.15, cdmpared with $7.10 in the same week in , J , l i much higher, sheep ranging at $7.40 against $3.70, and lambs going at $14.20 against $8.70. These are outstanding figures and show the gains the sheepmen have made in the year.

Lambs have brought a whole lot of . money this season, the best since De- " cember, 1919. HE HEARD THE KITTEN BOIL Bobby, aged four, was playing with his kitten before the fireplace when it began to purr contentedly. The boy's mother was surprised presently to see her son grasp his pet by the tail and drag it across the carpet to the accompaniment of agonized protests from the unfortunate animal. "Bobby," she cried reproachfully, "you must not hurt your kitty!" "I've got to get him away from thl3 fire," replied Bobby excited. "He was beginning to boil." From Everybody's Magazine.
