Little Corn

Judgment of men who are. in eke
touch with the situation that neither
the supply of corn in Iowa nor the
tuarLct price has bcrn appreciably
affected by the very limited torn
burning in the state.
These statements bout the s itua
t;on are based on report ju't se
cured from tounty agents by K. K.
13Iis. the director cf agricultural ex
tension at loa State college. The
county agents generally are in close
touch witli the situation and many
cf them have made special effort to
secure information, he say.
In 40 cf t4 countiea reporting to
date, county airents say that no com
ia being burned; in five counties they
ay that not more than It) per cent
of the farmers are burning aonic
com. usually with coal and wood;
in one county 2 per cent of the farm
era arethus reported to be burning
corn; in tlx counties rgents say
that more or less moldy and inferior
corn is burned; in 12 other counties
agents say that very little is used
lor fuel. In one county corn is burn
td in the furnaces cf the county
Court house and the county infirm
ary. It is not possible to place any very
accurate estimate on the amount of
corn burned in Iowa, nor the percen
tage of farmers who are using this
cereal for fuel, Mr. lilifs says. Trob
ably by far the greater number who
burn corn are merely burning corn
that is not fit for much else. All
told, it sce;as unlikely that these
counties burned more than 200,000
bushels or 300,000 bushels of corn fit
for feeding or marketing, and that
is much lcs than 1 per cent of the
pood corn produced in these coun
ties to he more nearly exact, about
one-eighth of 1 per cent. .
For the most part, the relatively
small amount cf corn has been
burned on farms that have a long
haul to market. Some has ' been
burned, also, by farmers who are bo
hard pressed financially that they
cannot pay cash for fuel.
In many sections efforts were made
in farm bureau meetings to secure en
dorsement of a movement to burn at
least 100 bushels of corn on every
Iowa farm. Almost invariably
county agents report that resolutions
to that effect were defeated by deci
sive vote. One county agent gave
this bit of information: "The few
men who talked most in favor cf
corn burning are burning coal and
saving their corn."
Pie Banned From Menu
of School Lunch Boxes
Columbus, O., Jan. 28. Pie must
go. f.
At least it must not be placed in
the school lunch box. '
This is the edict of nutrition work
ers at the Ohio State university.
"Nutritional investigation shows
that starchy foods, mixed with fats,
are among the hardest on the child's
digestion, declared Miss Minnie
Price, assistant state home demon
stration leader. . . ' '
'Tie falls definitely within this
tlass, particularly when hastily made
and served cold and soggy.
"Compared to other better des
serts pie is expensive, hard to make,
and almost impossible to pack prop
erly into a school lunch," continued
Miss Price. "It does not contain
food elements necessary to round out
the noon-day meal. It takes up room
in the lunch box which might other
wise be given to desirable dessert
dishes."
These nutrition experts expressed
, belief that pie should be replaced in
the school lunch by cup custard, or
fruit, or preserve and jelly sandwiches.

Platte County Farmers
Differ on Farm Agent
Columbus. Neb.. Jan. 28. (Spe
cial.) D. O. Lawrence, secretary of
the Platte County Farm bureau, tiled
with the county board of supervisors
an estimate of $i,7s0 which he re
quested the board to appropriate out
of the general fund to be used in
carrying on farm bureau work in
Platte county during 1922. A peti
tion signed by more than 300 resi
dents of the county engaged in farm
ing who are members of the farm
bureau was filed.
At the same time a remonstrance
was filed signed by more than 1,000
farmers protesting against the ap
propriation of any county money for
the purpose of maintaining a county
agent. The opposition states that
the farmers of the county are not
getting any benefit of the county
agent'3 work.
S elf-Feeders Practical in
Hog Feeding Operations

feeders with a single door on top,
double-side feeders with a double
door on top, and single-side feeders
with a single door on top, all have
proven practical, they say. The feed
ers are made in various types of con
struction, which the college is pre

Lincoln, Jan. 2& The general slide
ot t SK-cs, as a result of deflation fol
lowing the pott-war speculation,
caused the year V)2 to record many
changes in prices and value, which
appeared to hit the farmer first and
hardest, says a review of agricultural
conditions in Nebraska for last year.
tsued by Leo 11. Stuhr. secretary of
the state department of agriculture.
Abnormally low prices oilcrcd for
fr.rm oroducts. together with finan
cial conditions that did not warrant
the sclhna- of a laree amount ot
farm products because the prices of
fered were not sumcicnt to pay lor
the cost of production, were chit fly
responsible for the condition, ac
cording to the review.
The records show that corn re
maining on the farm April 1, 1921,
equaled 25 per cent of the previous
year'i crop; oats equaled 12 per cent
and wheat 13 per cent This grain
wa exclusive of any reserved for
feed, the report stated. Live stock
also showed a drop in number due
to easy liquidation and comparative
prices near to normal, as a result of
which much live stock was sold, the
report says.
Soil and climatic conditions also
figured, the review shows. Ne
braska's size and location, with grow
ing seasons varvins in sections and
by counties, similarly are considered.
General lessened oreciDitation with
hicrher temperatures during the
months of June and August mate
rially affected the yields, while local
drouth areas reflected the lack of
moisture in the siae of the crops pro
duced, states the report.
"Lands adjoining rivers affect ma
terially the production of the differ
ent counties of which they form a
part, while lands under irrigation
show much heavier producton of
those crops commonly raised on ir
rigated lands," says a statement
."Some western counties show a
lower production from the foregoing
causes." . .
Ohio Claims Record for
Improved Road Mileage
Columbus, O., Jan. 28. State Di
rector of Highways HerricK an
nounces that Ohio has taken from
Pennsylvania the nation's record as
to" mileage of improved roads built
within a vear. He states that more
than '1,000 miles of new highways
were constructed by the state high
way department in Ohio last year.
The previous record, 750 miles in a
year, was held by Pennsylvania.
Inasmuch as but a relatively small
amount of uncompleted road-building
remains in the Buckeye state,
special attention will be given this
year to maintenance work, Director
derrick said. He plans .awarding
contracts this year for something
ever 360 miles of road building and
hopes not only to lessen the cost,,
but increase the efficiency of the
maintenance or repair work. It is
planned this year; as last, to go over
the entire mileage under state main-;
tenance. . .., j

Property in Three Weeks

that more homes will be bought and
sold during the spring and summer
of 1922 than during any previous

off so long that there is now two
buyers for every home offered for
sale in the city. They are having
a large number of inquiries for
Hanscom park and South Side prop
erty, and in three weeks have sold
$39,450 worth of property, all home.

20 Years on the Road
, Plenty, Says Omahan
The life of the wanderer is not
so bad for the first 20 years.
That's why Charles W. Young has
decided to settle down in Omaha
and remain for a while. His first 21)
years are over.
For 20 years Mr. Younp- packed
his sample trunks over the United
States, Canada and South America
m the interests of the U. S. Gypsum
company. And finally traveling be
gan to weary him a bit. So he has
opened a real estate office with his
son, Bruce C. Young, at 1502 City
National bank building.
He says he intends to stay with
the real estate game in Omaha and
never again shall the will o the wisp
call him to distant parts.

Payne Delivers
Heartening Talk"
to State Realtors
Sayi No Section Vfl Be

Corn Belt.
The address delivered by George
If. Payne before the KcbraV Real
tors' association In Omaha Thursday
afternoon has been One f the chief
topics of ducuMion among city and
State realtors since the meeting.
Mr. Payne's talk expressed con
fident in the future, eprcialt ef
this portion of the country.
Mr. Payne tai) the pnre of farm,
products is the key to the business
situation in this part ot the country,
and he predicted that farm prices
will go up coniidtrably this year. He
said the price of corn 1 now going
up on the Omaha market and he be
lieved it would be 50 cents rf
bushel by March 1. Mr. Payne laid
in part:
Predicts Prosperity.
"There is no portion of the United
States that has been more pros
perous, or that will be more pros
perous during the next 10 years, than
the corn belt, of which the states of
Iowa, Nebraska, southern Minnesota.
Kansat, northern Missouri, northern
half of Illinois and southern Wiscon
sin comprise the principal portion,
and farm land values. In the judg
ment of level headed mn who have
given this matter thorough consid
eration, will be stabilised in n very
short time on the bajia of values of
about 1917 and 1918.
"Gentlemen, do not go home with
the impression that farm lands are
going to sell in 1922 at prices people
thought they were worth in 1919 and
1920. We have no right to txpuf
it and it is be?t for all cf Uit
they shoutd not, but a soon a ton
ditions become normal vour farms
will sell practically on the baiia on
which they were in 1916. 1917 and
1918, and in our judgment there will
be a gradual increase from those
prices as the country growa and im
proves. '
Hogt Boost Cora Prices,
"Hogs and cattle are .today bring
ing the farm from 50 cents to 7a
ccnti per bushel for his corn, and
corn and wheat have all shown con
siderable advance in price during
the last three or four monthe, which
shows already that the deflation and
depression of 1921 ii gradually dis
appearing. "Farm mortgage and loan com
panies can exert strong influence
in helping the farmers of thii state
who have had a hard time and are
unable temporarily to pay their in
terest on account of the low prices,
by giving them a reasonable time
to meet their obligations, and they
are doing it Interest collections
that were somewhat slow in many
sections of this country in the early
part of 1921 have improved to a
wonderful extent during the last two
months. Real estate agenta who
have made sales to farmera can help
in the eeneral adjustment of things
very materially by assisting farm
ers where they have more obligations
than they can meet.
Practiced Golden Rule.
"I have ia mind a case where a
farmer about two years ago bought
220 acres of land. The amount he
owed was more than he could pos
sibly pay, and the company which
had sold him Jthe land called him
into the office to- give up his con
tract, and gave him a new contract
for 160 acres, and applied all he had
paid on the 160, and he went home
a changed and greatly encouraged
man, and he will pull through.
Mr. Payne quoted from several
bankers and finance students ci the
country, all of whom expressed the
Opinion that 1922 will be much more
successful in a business way than
1921.
The following was Mr. Payne's
parting advice: "This is a time to
work and work hard, to save, to help
your fellow man and boost Nebraska.
Let no one discourage you; put on
a bold front; believe in yourself and
in your country, and encourage the
fallow who thinks he is down and
out, which in nine cases out of ten
lie is not; whip every pessimist that
comes across your track, and do not
vorry about the future prosperity of
this great agricultural country.",
