i ne rarm ana tne r armer

By WUliam R. Sanborn

TOO MUCH MONEY Have you ever heard of Rockhill's 1 greatest eTerbearer strawberry? Probably not These plants are mighty ' few and Tery expensive ana the farmers who can afford to Duy a handful of them at the price quoted by Frank E. Beatty, of Three Rivers, Michigan, are as scarce as hen's teeth. As the press story reads Mr Beatty la prest dent of the Kellogg company, la a na- - tlonally known expert on strawberry I culture, and has recently paid 150,000 . for a single strawberry vine which was bred by Harlow Rockhill, of Conrad. Iowa. , Mr. Beatty is quoted as saying that he does not expect tcunake money from the sale of the new straw- , berry vines, but he paid the $50,000 in thie Instance "as an incentive to growers and breeders of plants to develop jew varieties." He says, however, that it is hl3 belief that the new variety ;will practically revolutionize strawberry culture. :

Ho, it isn't claimed that this prodigy will bear all through the year, but that

it will produce fruit in the early sum

mer, rest a short time during the heat

ed spell, it may be, and then begin all

over again and continue bearing nntil frost kills the blossoms. There are a

number of "everbearing" Btrawberries catalogued. The writer enjoyed a few

dlBhes of strawberries from one of

these varieties in September and early

October of this year, and the berries

were grown in a Center township gar-

cen. it seemed about then that "sum

mer might last all the year." ; Baby Beef Too Markets

. E. W. Doddridge of Milton captured

the top dollar on baby beef at Indian

apolis, on Monday. Before shipping the particular steer for which $11.50

was paid a snap shot was made at Mil

ton, and the picture was received on Wednesday. In the letter coming with

it J. M. Doddridge wrote: "I am en

closing photograph of baby beef which

I thought you might be interested In,

as he was some baby. This baby beef

was bred and raised by Mr. E. w. Dod

dridge, and weighed 795 pounds at

nine (9) months old, without any ex

tra feed. He topped the Indianapolis

market at $11.50." The market topper was a Polled Angus, as the photo

snows. Wool-Growing Costa.

' Twenty-seven owners of fine wool

sheep flocks In Ohio concluded to feed and keep account of what their wool clips cost them per pound. The

records covered 12 months and the

sheep were owned in Morgan end Noble counties. The records were kept under supervision of the state exten

sion service and the compilation of

results showed a wide variation in ex

penses and profits.

The five farmers who reported the

most economical production showed

wool cost of 19.4 cents per pound. Wool

sold at an "average" of 25 cents for the '12 months in which the records were kept, but is now ruling much higher. Now then, 22 farmers of the

27 making the test showed an average

cost of 37.5 cents per pound of wool.

and a corresponding loss of money. Why the difference?

By way of explanation the extension

service says: "Comparison of individual records shows that the five beet

farms fed less hay, but that twice as large a part of this hay ration was alfalfa, as in the case of the less successfud farms. Also, the best farms that 'made a profit raised an average of 41 lambs per 100 head of sheep.

and the flocks that lost money raised only 30 lambs to 100 sheep."

-, t Cash for Corn Huskers. .. ... Iowa farmers raised 15,000,000 bush

els more corn this year than last, and had 40,000,000 bushels of old corn on

their farms on Nov. 1. This is almost 25 per cent of all the old corn then

held on corn belt farms. This reminds

us of some corn husking contests

staged in that state. Some of the

farmers are offering cash prizes for

the three best huskers in Iowa, and

this Is also true of a few county farm

bureaus. Boone county, for example.

is offering three prizes of $25 for first.

$15 for second and $10 for third best

husking record in that county. One

editor says: "We hope that every man

who-can husk at the rate of better than; 14 bushels per hour of working

time in the field, will enter this con

test"

International Harvester.

It now appears that the department

cf Justice has decided that rto new

anti-trust suit will be filed now against

the International Harvester company,

"and furthermore it does not believe

that the time Is ripe for proceedings

to make the old dissolution decree

more effective."

This was the substance of a report

In response to a senate-resolution, ask

ing "What new action was contemplated

This statement was dated as of Sept. 22, but did not reach the Benate until this week. The then attorney general wrote: "At the expiration of the test period set up in the decree the department of justice, in consultation with the federal trade commission, will consider what, If any, further relief may be necessary in order to effect the declared purpose of the decree, and will take the necessary steps to give effect to the conclusions arrived at" , .Where Thanks Were Due. A refreshing story, which was given

first page prominence in a number of newspapers, came out of New Jersey

lately. It was an Associated Press news item, so strangely different from

the mass of news that usualy finds front page settings that we are moved to comment upon it. It was a tale of a

Jersey community, and of the neighboring farmers all meeting in a serv

ice of thanksgiving for bountiful crops, on Sunday, Oct 29. It was stated that for two or more years crops and gardens had failed in that vicinity, so last spring prayer serviese were held, asking the blessing of seasonable weather and good crops. The harvest proved abundant so at the close of the season, and without awaiting the advent of Thanksgiving day, the entire community gathered" in a service of thanks and praise for an answer to their prayers. . . Advanced Registry for Sows. The editor of a western farm journal

talks about an advanced registry for

sows, and gives his reasons therefor. "Over fn Indiana," he sayg, "the live

stock breeders' association has' given special prizes this past year for lit

ters weighing over a ton at six months

or, age. ur course ton litters are a

freakish proposition, it being necessa

ry to save about twelve pigs in the lit

ter and then pushing them along with

the greatest possible speed. Just the same, these Indiana people are on the

ngnt tracs, for the one thing which makes for economy of pork production

more than anything else, is the num

ber of pigs saved per litter at weaning

time. Probably eight or nine pigs sav-J

ea per mter is iaeai unaer corn oeit

conditions.

We suggest that It might be worth

while for some of our pure-bred swine associations to establish an advanced

registry, to which .would be eligible gilts saving eight or more pigs- at

weaning time, and older sows saving nine or more pigs at. weaning time,

provided that at eight weeks of age

the pigs averaged at least forty pounds in weight, and none of them weighed less than thirty pounds. This would

discriminate against the exceedingly large litters where there are more than

twelve, for in such litters the weight is rarely up to forty pounds at eight weeks of age, and moreover there are usually several runts which weigh less than thirty pounds. What we want is

a sow which will farrow ten or eleven

strong pigs and raise at least eight or

nine of them. Such a sow Is entitled to advanced registry. Her blood should

be perpetuated and united with that

of boars descending from sows of sim

ilar producing ability."

Higher Rates Denied.

The commission men at the Denver

stockyards established a new schedule

of rates, in October, to become effec

tive on Nov. 1. This schedule contained

a number of advances -over that pre

viously filed with the stockyards ad ministration of the department of agri

culture, ana were consequently su

spended until, a hearing could be had

to consider what justification could be offered for the increases. The hear1 ing will be held In the federal court

room at Denver, beginning on wot. zs. The Denver yards are becoming more Important from year to year as the packing and .fresh meat business at that point grows.

"Say it with Eggs- is tne tea uross slogan In some western rural districts. In these Instances a dollar's worth of eggs is as acceptable as the cash. An

Iowa preacher says: n a man nasn i

dollar, he won't be excused irom

membership in the Red Cross this year, because no Butler county farmer has hens that can't lay a dollar's worth of eggs in short order."

However this may be tn Iowa there

are numerous Indiana farm flocks that

has been kept busy supplying a few

ee for the farm table In past few

weeks, and some of these farmers have

had no eggs for sale in the meantime.

All of which has nothing to do with

the duty of keeping our membership in

the Red Cross alive, eggs or no eggs.
