Corn Hoskers Have Very Poor c 4 nn. a. m , income Below That cf 1935 Ee- cause cf Short Drouth' Crop in the Midvest. j j Des Moines. T ; deftly wrest the talwarts who corn belt's most pared with 19 35. The army of l'orn ;huskers that annually mobilizes in tne j corn belt received a cent or two more j per bushel compared with last year, j but earned much less, agricultural I officials in seven midwest states re- i ! port. Main reason' why busking was less profitable this year, was the fact that the drouth claimed '0 percent of -be'j,,. Donald j nation's corn crop, compared with 1935 production. Corn pickers include the hired hands, farmers from sections produc- "S less corn, neighboring farm boys ;ht away who om dusk. In some rural areas school chil dren get a two or three week "corn husking vacation" so the boys can help get the crop cribbed before mud or frozen grounds makes it impossible to get a wagon in the field. Good Pickup Weather. The officials said this fall was "most favorable" for corn pickir: the corn matured early. 'and good picking weather prevailed. II. C. Aaberg of Des Moines, assistant state secretary of agriculture, said the in flux of pickers from the drouth area of the SDUthcrn section of the state, Missouri and Nebraska caused the 5 to 6 cents a bushel scale to drop to from 4 to 5 cents in a tew areas. Prices last year v.ere 3 to 4 cents. Aaberg also estimated about a ritth Tritjch.jof the 1GL!6 Iowa crop was harvested 'by mechanical pickers, which lessen ed t lie pickers' earnings. A. E. Anderson, Nebraska crop statistician, said farmers and hired hands picked the short crop and add- ed there were many mechanical piek- ducflors in. the state.

This in surance cost them $l.o0 per head, insuring the animal for $40 to $50 from death from any cause for one year. Paul Wolph of Avoca purchased 17 head of Galloway calves in Kansas l cm-rp timp u?(t for the hnvi who are feeding Galloways. These calves cost 7c per pound and v.ere handled the same way at auction. In auctioning 'off the calves the club members know ! what the total number of calves will cost them. Each calf is auctioned in dividually. When the auction is over the total saies rrice is determined. If the calves brought more than they cost the" boys settle on a pro-rated basis of so many cents on the dollar. This allows the individual member to choose his own calf from the lot and pay the price he can afford for a calf. There will be about C5 baby beeves on feed in the county in 193" in spite of the feed shortage. Turkey Marketing. The East Nebraska Non-Stock Tur key Growers' Association is a going concern. Organization has been com pleted and operation have begun. Two carload;; of over 47,000 pounds oi dressed turkeys have already been shipped. For this season cf the year, this was an exceptionally fine ship ment containing about 75 '1 prime turkeys. Returns have not been re ceived but, since the market has been steady, it seems safe to predict a net pries to growers of 20 to 22 cents per pound for prime live turkeys. Local markets are offering 13 to 18 cents per pound for top grade live turkeys. Arrangements have been made with th? Jerpe Commission company at Seward. Nebraska, for processing and packing the turkeys. They have a large, new, modern, well equipped plant capable of handling 2,000 birdc (over a carload) daily. Slack-scald dressing is done and due to the me chanically controlled procedure, trained workers and efficient super vision, an excellent job is being dom? and very attractive turke;. s are being packed. The turkeys are graded ac- I -s- 1 A With IRVIN S. GOBB An Aiuiivemry To 3s Remembered By IRVIN S. COL'3 T"IFFERENCES of an acute raiurc aro.o i D Memphis wharf.

In addition to the banquet, several hundred farmers Irom all sectiors of the state were in Omaha the s ame day to attend the 'pasture clini: There they diagnosed the grazing land problem confronting all farm- ers in 1CCJ7. Seed supplies, means of j improving pastures, range land man j agemtnt. experimental research work j with grasses and other topics cam? up lor discussion. 13. F. Eheehan, Lincoln seedsman, tolel the crowd that domestic supplies of seedstoeks are not plentiful and anything like a normal demand will see most ceed supplies e:vhai;stcd be fore a new crop is harvested. Alfred Olson, Fullcrton farmer, advocated more consideration between landlord and tenant, giving pastures th? same attention as plow land and use of soil conservation practices in cutting down pasture seeding failures. Ernest Kriesel. Jefferson county farmer, told the "clinic" that pasture terraces help solve the problem. His terraces held a 2-inch gully washer in 1&3.". Kriessel said pastures should not be u?ed for race tracks, baseball diamonds or airplane landing fields. Walter Ciiace, Stanton county agri cultural agent, praised tii? use of rye for pasture.

Time was when any orthodox housewife could claim with reason able accuracy to have cooked at least forty turkeys by the time her silver anniversary had come and gone. Ther was a turkey for Thanksgiving and turkey for Christmas, with a few occasions when she and her fam ily "went home to Mother's." Instead of being limited to holi day time, we can now buy turkeys all through the year. Turkey raising has become a major branch of the commercial poultry industry. One reason lor increased use of turkey on the table of city families is the smaller siz? of the modern bird. Tur keys weighing from 7 to 12 pounds have been on the market lately. This year this is partly an indirect result of the drouth, which boosted ieed prices. However, producers now hatch turkeys earlier and also nnish young er birds for market. These smaller birds are just what many families want. A housewife can learn to judge turkeys on the counter for herself. If lehe wants a light-weight lender young turkey, lcses than a year old, she should ask for a "young hen" or 'young torn.
