The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

BUYS PURDUE HOLSTEINS j Three registered Holstein cowb, purchased from the Purdue university herd, arrived in Richmond on Thursday evening, bound for their new home on a Franklin township farm. The cows are all coming three years old and are now on their second test. Two of these cows exceeded 12.000 and the other 13,000 pounds of milk in nine months. The new arrivals were eired by the university herd bull, which holds a state fair championship, and are fine .specimens of the breed. Everett Hunt, president of the county farm bureau. Journeyed to Lafayette in quest of these cows and is well pleased with his selections. Mr. Hunt says: "I bought these cows in the belief that increased profits -will come through more efficient production, and consequent lower costs. This is the ideal of our farmers organization." This Is a rather notable addition to Wayne county's quota of registered milkers, of which we cannot have too many, a truth that many of our dairymen are realizing more fully from day to day. This fact is apparent to all who attend pure-bred sales of stock, ranging from pigs to Percherons. Our more progressive farmers are grading up their herds from season to season, intent on finally owning nothing but animals eligible to registry, and of worthwhile strains. In Two-Day Session The Dalton township school building was the scene of a friendly and neighborly gathering on Friday afternoon at the opening of the township

farmers' Institute. The program covers two days, the closing session occurring Saturday afternoon. There are a number of exhibits made by both boys and girls, also by women and men, including a local corn show, at

which prizes will be awarded.

Amone the sneakers listed are Dr.

Test, of Dublin, who will talk on poul

try; Mrs. C. T. Lindsey. of Salem

Ind., on housekeeping and homemaking, and the selection of feeds will be discussed by F. M. Detrick, of DeGraff, Ohio. President Hunt, of the county farm bureau, will address the institute at 11 o'clock Saturday morning, and Dr. Carver, federal veterinarian, is down for a talk Saturday afternoon. He will talk about hog diseases and will show a film illustrative of ills subject. At a recent farm gathering, .T. E. Mount, an Indiana farmer, told his audience that: "To succeed the farmer must learn to produce not more, but more to the acre. High yields to

the acre make low cost to the bushel. My contention is that farmers do not need special class legislation." At the same meeting Dr. T. N. Carver declared that: "Farm credits are not o national cure-all." He maintained that "credit can help only the man who is now making money, or who has a good chance to make money in the immediate future." The speaker held that neither laws or movements can fully restore rural prosperity, until Europe is ready to buy and pay for our surplus farm products as in prewar days. The Changing Seasons Watermelon ground is ready for planting in Florida and some planting has been done in the southern part of the stata. In this state the next citrus crop will be larger than early estimates indicated. Much new growth is showing on the trees. California reports no serious injury to citrus trees from recent cold weather. Peaches are blooming in south Texa3 and the carlot movement of oranges is on. Strawberries are plentiful in Texa3 and are making good growth in Mississippi. Apricots and almond3 are

blooming in New Mexico. Spraying and pruning of fruit trees is well advanced in California. A considerable

grape acreage is expected in Arkansas

In Florida preparation for spring

truck crops is well advanced and the condition of cabbage, celery and lettuce is reported good. South Georgia is making express shipments of cabbage. In Mississippi miscellaneous truck is moving unusually early and in abundance from Louisiana. Lettuce shipments from Arizona are steady. In Louisiana sugar cane grinding is ended and stubble cane is growing well. Fall sown grains have changed but little In condition since the middle of January, according to the semi-monthly crop" notes of the department of agriculture for the latter half of January. Rains and snow in some Eection3 have helped the wheat and in others mild and open weather has caused it to make good growth. In sections where

: it has been backward in development

it has generally caught up. In a few

areas in the middle west and northwest some damage has resulted from

freezing and thawing. ; An Old Poland Breeder. Xed Caverly, of Toulon, 111., recently

held his thirty-sixth Poland hog sale.

' He is among the oldest breeders in the corn belt, dating back to 1893, when registered hogs were few in number ; and prices were low. When in remi- - niscent jnood, Mr. Gaverly likes to discourse on hogs and the rise of the

pure-bred in popular favor, citing some of his own experiences in the ups and downs of the business. He states that he first began raising Polands In 1893,

but did not begin with strictly purebreds until the following year, when

he paid $12 for his first herd boar.

His first sale of registered stock was held In 1901, In the driveway of his barn, when he sold twenty head of bred sows at an average of $28. His lowest average, he states, was at his sale in 1905, when his boars and open gilts averaged but $23. But the story of his 1919 fall sale reads vastly different In that year he sold one boar for $6,000; this animal, with five litter mates, brought a total of $8,985 and hi3 bred gilts averaged $368.10. In all these years he has been a feeder in a large way, his sales representing only the pick of his herds.

The biological survey is conducting

jack-raDDit campaigns in four states, and has been for at least a year. In

Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Tex

as, with the states co-operating, more than a million of these pests were

slaughtered in 1922. The jack-rabbits have been found very destructive

to altalfa, cotton, melons, lettuce,

grain ana otner crops, so much so that their destruction has become of

prime importance in many western

counties. - ,

In 10 counties of Idaho 32,235'

pounds of bait treated with 2,159 ounces of strychnine were used on 312,350 acres of land. By poisoning and by drives 640,050 jack-rabbits, ac

cording to actual count, were destroyed in that tate. In six counties !n Washington 155,500 were reported killed, and in four counties of Oregon it is estimated that 350.000 were destroyed. In three counties of Texas 35,060 jack-rabbits were accounted for. Soil surveys made by the bureau of soils, department of agriculture, are filling an increasing variety of demands. Prominent among these demands, in addition to those coming from the co-operating states, are those from the development companies interested in opening up large tracts of cut-over land to settlement, from the homeseeker or farmer looking for a new location, from road engineers, land banks and large loan companies.
