severely from drought during the past reason the southwest. Including a large part of Texas and a part of Oklahoma, and a considerable portion of the northwest, including large sections of North Dakota and eastern Montana. These regions represent a large part of the prainproducin? areas of the United State., with particular reference to grain sorghums, oats, barley, fl.ix, and corn. The seed corn situation in the northern half of the corn belt is more serious than it has been for many years. Early frosts (throughout the northern part of the corn belt caught much of the corn either in the milk or in the dough stages, and although the crop was large, it contains an unusually high percentage of soft corn. The high prices prevailing also have caused farmers to sell their old corn and consequently there is a much smaller supply on hand than in former years. Sweet Crops Injured. "Reports received through the department's agents and from other sources are to the effect that the crop of both grain and forage sorghums in Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma was badly injured by t lie drought and by early frosts. Unless prompt action is taken to buy anil store the :-eed, a pronounced shortage will undoubtedly exist next spring. "Uarly maturing varieties of soy beans in recent years have become very important in several northern states, especially in Michigan and Wiscemsin. The early frost of this year e-a tight the soy beans in these states when they were about half mature anl the seed rop, therefore, is practically a total lo:-s. The probable latj-'e up of soy beans as feed, hoth whole and ground, and a.s human food, will absorb a '.arge part of the crop of the early varieties harvested in Indiana and Ohio. Since theso arc the only f-cction? from which suitable seed for Michigan a tul Wisconsin can be secured, it is important that adequate seed supplies be withdrawn from consumption and made available for planting during the next senton. lUans Alx ;ui luc. "Three northern spates produce large quantities of white or navy beans Michigan, Xew York and Wisconsin. Of the total acreage, nearly three-fourths is in Michigan. An early frost not only reduced the yield, but also greatly injured the viability of the beans. It is essential, therefore, that action be taken to see that an adequate supply of good seed is available for the next planting season. "It is the purpose of the department, if the sum suggested is made available, to take immediate steps to secure, test and store at least a portion eif the supply of these seeds that will be needed for next reason. In this connection, it should be borne in mind that, under the Lingua go of the item, the seed will Le sold to farmers only for cash at a reasonable juice, and it is provided that the fund may be used as a revolving fund until the secretary of agriculture determines that the emergency contemplated by the appropriation no longer exists. In the circumstances, it is believed that it "ill he possible to return to the treasury the entire amount appropriated, or at least the greater portion of it." VIC. CLUC WOHK GROWING. Many More IJoy. and Girls Help to InercaM" Nation's .Meat Production. Despite lack of riss in nearly every state, the fiscal year that end-i ed June 30 brought hi? increases in the membership of bojs' and pirli' pig clubs, with consequent greater intlucnces on meat production, according to the annual report of the IUireau of Animal Industry, United States department of agricultural. Thirteen specialists in as many states supervised the work of 21,ö 0 3 members a membership Increase of 96 per cent. This work was carried on in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nebraska. North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oro.'on. and Texas. The number of members reported showed an increase of US per cent and now is nearly CO. 000. Financial aid by bankers helped largely to make the clubs successful. As an instance, bankers ii Arkansas last year furnisbed' purebred pis to 1.S00 of the .100 i-U' club members on 6 per cent interest-bearing notes. As the notes run from 12 to 15 months the pigs themselves will pay for their cost. That the pij? club. are influencinp meat production is indicated by plans in several states to have clubs send carloads of fat hogs Vr competition at fairs or stock shows, after which they are to be marketed cooperatively.

SELF-FEEDER FOR

E Rapid and Economical .Gains Made by Allowing Animals to Help Themselves. The quickest, easiest, and mott economical method of fattening pips, with the least expenditure of srain and labor, is through the use of self-feeders. A self-feeder consists of a hopper large enough to hold a supply of feed sufficient to last several days and a trough ' -low it into which the grain flows as the pigs eat it. Hogs do not overeat, as might naturally be supposed, when they ha e free access to these feeders, but a number of tests conduct, d by the United states Department of Agriculture and various ,tate experiment stations show that with the ingredients of a good ration constantly before them they will make gains more rapidly and economically than when fed by hand. Itcsults of experiments setting forth these fact- together with plans for coustructin j self-feeders. hae been publiMicd in farmers' Bull tin The Self-I'ctder for Hogs." i I 'ceding Tc!. On a i;o eminent experiment tarnt at Ikltsviile. .Md., 1 grade' IWrksliiro jigs were put on a 70day feeding tct i:i the spri::" of l'.iltj. The pigs were kept in a dry lot and fed ,a fattening ration of torn meal, middlings and tankage. Nin were feU by hand three times a day, while nine had access to selffeeders. The self-fed pis gained more rapidly and ate more feed, but less in proportion to the gains in weight, than the pigs fed by hand. In fact, the self-fed pigs required less feed per inn pounds gain. In another test three lots of Z grade Berkshire pigs each were pastured on r e. ne lost üs selffed on corn meal and tankage, and made slightly more rapid u-ain. but required more feed per l'to pounds gain than another lot self-fed on shelled corn and tankage. I loth these lots made more rapid and economical gains than did a third lot which was hand fed on corn meal, middlings, and tankage. These tests nv borne uut by results obtained at a number of stateexperiment stations. in all. nearly i 0 'j pigs ha e been used in tests at these stations and tin. results show clearly that more rapid gains are obtained with the self-feeder than by the bo.t hand-feeding methods, partly owing to the larger daily consumption of feed per head and partly owing to the more efficient use of the grain fed. Sines Time anil Iabor. The marked success of the selffeeding system is largtly due to the fact that the hogs may eat an abundance of tho.-e feeds which will nourish them to the best advantage. By this plan the average farmer will ha e as good results as the most expert hand feeder, and the -esutJ will be obtained at much less expense of time1; and labor. All the tests referred to show that the increased feed consumtpion and the more rapid daily gains are not made at the expense of efficient use of feed. Adapted to Use Any Kind of Grain Teed. The self-feeder may be adapted to the use of any kind of grain or feed, although shelled corn and ground feeds are most commonly used. Ear corn may be fed by this method, if the hopper is of sufficient size to hold enough feed for several days without refilling. In order that the self-feeder may readily be adapted to different kinds of grain, it should be constructed with some means of regulating the opening through which the feed passes. Care should be taken to see that the selffeeders are always supplied with feed, for if one part of the ration is missing the pigs will naturally eat an increased amount of any other available and in such a case wdl make very poor use of it. The gain feeds may be mixed or placed in different compartments and '-. separately. The latter plan is tu re successful, for the pigs have be: n found to be able to balance t'. if own rations as their appetites demand. dairy cows on i;m:uy l'AUM. That Is Department of Agricul turc's Recommendation for Southern Territory. To have dairy cows as a part of the equipment on every farm, enabling tenants to become self-supporting throughout the year and at the same time maintain desirable soil conditions, is a plan recommended by the Bureau of Animal Ir dustry, United States Department of Agricultural, among the landowners of the south. The plan is accompanied with an active cami pr.ign for feed production; as a re beans and peanuts, has been shown. Every effort is being made by held men of the derartment to aid in bringing in a sufficient supply of good cows to establish dairying and to fix the type of good cows in the minds of the farmers. The readiness of bankers to help finance the purchase of dairy cattle i an indication of how well established he industry has become through cooperative and state work
