URINO the past two yearB the methods
of production nnd conservation em
ployed by tho ftinncrs of this country
have ndvunccd 20 yenrs of pence times.
Trior to 1014, nnd even up to the dec
laration of war by the United Stntcs, '
thcro wore fnnners In every communi
ty who wore not Interested In county
ngents, farmers' Institutes, the ngrl-
aultnral colleges, or tho United Stntes department -of
agriculture. Hut when war wns declared and'
Unelo Sum nsltcd the farmers to grow more food
ntuffs of ovcry kind, thoso who had beforo assumed
nn nttltude of Indlftcrcnco responded lo tho call,
throughout tho nation thoso farmers, with n spirit
of patriotism and nn nddltlonnl Inducement of fulr
prices nnd nn nssurnnco of reasonable compensa
tion for their expenditures, called upon tho fed
eral department nnd other agencies that could
gtvo them Information. Tho nttltude ns well ns
the spirit of tho farmers changed from peace-time
to war-tlmo farming.
Improved methods and practices adopted and
now being applied havo como to stny. In futuro
farming methods thoro should ho little question as
to tho practlco of tho man who has treated his oats
for smut and hns Increased his yield ; the man who
has applied fertilizer to his wheat and has In
croased his crops flvo to ten bushels nn aero; tho
man who has sought information on the feeding of
cnttlo and has found that by adding protein to tho
ration ho can produce n pound of beef with nine
pounds of com whero tho old ration required 3(1
pounds of grain ; the man who was encouraged to
build n silo through which ho Is nhlo to feed n
cnrlond of cattlo with the crops from 10 ncres of
land when beforo It lequlred 20 ncres. Mon who
hnvo learned these lessons, havo seen tho result,
nnd huvo profited hy them, tiro not going back to
nld-tlmo methods. Pat mors tiro reaching out In u
broader wny for additional nld.
Last fnll fnnners planted 40,000,000 acres of
wheat, and whllo the early prospoctlvo yield was
reduced to sonio extent by reason of ndverso
weather nnd Insect enemies, n crop of approxi
mately a billion bushels Is tho result. This hugo
crop Is tho direct result of tho good methods of
farming that wero employed In the fall of 1018.
Thero wero moro tons of fertilizer npplled to this
whput than during nny previous year. There was
moro early plowing. Thero was better cultivation.
Thero was better selection of varieties nnd better
treatment of the seed, Thero was moro top-dressing
of the crop with straw and manure than ever '
was known In any other your. Tart of the crop
was duo to favoiablo weather In some localities,
some Just to plain luck, hut tho big results
achieved in tho wheat Ileitis all over tho country
was duo to the Improved methods employed by
fnrmers.
There Is lurgo and nulllclent evidence to show
that ngrlculturo has mtulo u rapid, suro, and sub
stantial advance. If that Is true, then agriculture
will not readily revert.
At no tlmo has tho fanner been called upon to
give greater attention to tho business sldo of his
operations. In this day of hlgh-prlcodjand, labor,
seed, fertilizer, machinery, and other materials
and equipment, enrcful attention must ho given to
economical production. Industrial plants hnvo
found It necessary to Introduce the cost-accounting
nystem In order that tho cost of each part manu
factured may bo determined. In tho same way,
farmers must conduct their business and know
moro definitely tho deslrnblo and profitable lines of
production,
Not every farmer has It within bis power to In
creaso his acreage, but ho can very materially in
crease his Incnmo by judiciously Increasing tho
slzo of his business. Thoro Is ono way of doing
this that seems to bo open to farmers In prac
tically all parts of tho country. Tho Minplest and
surest way for tho land-locked farmer to make
atoro money Is to produco moro and better llyo
stock. Thoro Is but limited opportunity for ex
pansion In tho production of the Intensively grown
crops, but thero Is groat opportunity for expansion
In the breeding nnd sale of nil classes of live stock.
In tho case of 42 farms surveyed In Henry
county, Indinnn, by the department of agriculture,
11 mado an nverngo labor Income of $l,42y a yenr.
These farms kept the most live stock, nvernglng
02 animal units that Is, 02 full-grown cattle, or
their bqulvalcnt In smaller nnlmnls. Sixteen fnnns
made an nverngo labor lncomo of $470. These
farms kept live stock averaging 10 nnlmal units
per farm. Fifteen farms made nn average lubor
lncomo of but 51. Not ono of these farms kept
more thdn IS animal units.
Dividing these farms Into three groups accord
ing to the number of animals 'to nn acre, tho
same tendency Is shown. Tho moro heavily
stocked tho farm tho larger tho labor Income.
A specific exnmple of what can be accomplished
by rnlslng inoro and better stock, is that of a corn
belt 'farm, formerly managed ns a straight-grain
farm, that for tho past flvo years has been oper
ated as a hog farm. Tho system followed Is
rather unusual, In that but ono litter is raised
each year, the sows bred being gilts, which aro
fnltcnqd nnd sold nfter their pigs havo been
wonned. The pigs, put on full feed on self-feeders,
aro sold when from six to seven months old.
Enough hogs aro bought to hog down tho corn
crop. The profits realized nre far In advance
of Uiqso. realized under tho old system. For the
past threo years, respectively, the net returns
from the hog enterprise alone hnvo been $1,250,
$l,S5l, and $3,733.
It should bo bonio In mind In this connection,
however, that, Just as n large acreage may bo a
handicap rather than nn advantage unless used to
ntlvuntngc, mo live stock may bo n liability rather
than an usset unless the qunllty of tho anlmnls
Is high. Tho more scrub covs n man has tho
worse off he Is If ho persists In trying to produco
milk from them, and In some enses the quickest
way to Increaso not returns Is to sell a bunch of
cannors.
Tho high-class hog and tho hlgh-clnss cow, each
In Its own field, has no equal In efficiency In turn
ing raw products Into human food, but until wo
realize tho wldo difference In efficiency between
tho scrub cow producing 2,000 pounds of milk
and tho nnlmal yielding 7,000 pounds of milk, or
between tho razorback hog and the hog that
converts corn Into pork rapidly and economically,
wo aro not In n position to mnko the most of this
fact.
So tho farmer who seeks to Incrcnso his busi
ness by going Into llvo stock enterprises will
mnko n gravu mlstako unless he pnys strict atten
tion to the vltnl question of quality of stock. It
Is not necessary to begin with expensive regis
tered nnlmnls, for good grndo stock will serve,
but It Is essential thnt great euro bo exercised In
selecting tho Individual anlmnls thnt are to serve
as tho foundation of tho herd or flock. When
such enre Is taken, however, there Is no safer way
for tho farmer to incrcnso tho slzo of his business
than by intenslvo production of llvo stock.
honesty, frugality, and industry to secure loans
from tho federal Innd bnnk up to 75 per cent of
tho appraised value of tho land. We nlso ask
thnt tho maximum rate of annual payment, Includ
ing nmortlzatlon, shnll not 6xceed 5 per cent.
"Fourth. We Insist thnt tho secretnry of agri
culture should be n practical working farmer, and
thnt the Indorsement of farm organizations should
receive duo consideration In the selection of men
for that office.
"Fifth. Thnt tho highest rates of taxes levied
during tho war on incomes, corporations, nnd
excess profits bo continued until tho full cost of
the war has been paid, and that the government
also levy a tax on the value of land and other
natural resources held for speculative purposes.
"Sixth. We urge the adoption of a far-seeing,
patriotic policy for tho reclamation of tho waste
lands of all sections of tho country for tho pur
poso of enlarging the nrcn of ngrlcultural pro
dtlctlons. "Seventh. We demnntl tho most vigorous en
forcement of njl federal la'ws to prevent the Im
migration of undesirable aliens, nnd we also urge
tho prompt dcportntlon of nil aliens seeking to
overthrow our government and destroy our freo
Institutions. ,
Eighth. Wo believe that tho principle of co
operation should be npplled to the solution of our
marketing nnd Industrial problems, to tho ad
vantage of the producing, consuming, and labor
ing classes.
"Ninth. We are. opposed to tho maintenance of
wnr-tlrao armaments in tlmo of pence and to nny
system of mllltnry organization that includes
universal military training."
Oyster Shells for Poultry
Oyster shell Is not needed by chicks, but pullets
nnd hens do better for having oyster shell ns n reg
ular part of their ration. This wns proved by tho
New York' ngrlcultural experiment stntlon somo
years ngo, when n poultry writer condemned tho
uso of oyster shell ns unnecessary. The New York
station proved thnt a pound of oyster shell contnlns
enough lime to manufacture about seven dozen
eggs. Tills should not bo fed In tho mnsh. Fowls
know moro nbout whnt they need to ent than wo
do. If they hnvo the shell, ground bone, meat
scrnps nnd grit in hoppers beforo them, with a
variety of ground grains In dry mnsh, they will
balance their ration better thnn wo can bnlnnco
It for them.

"Fertilizer on Grass Lands
To keep up tho organic mntter of tho soil and
thereby Improve tho fertility It Is tmportnnt to
maintain good sod. In-other words, It Is a mistake
to keep mowing a field until tho yields of hny aro
no longer profitable and then plow up tho sod for
somo other crop. If a field Is to bo mown moro
thnn onco n yenr It should bo fertilized each yenr
after tho first with either manure or commercial
fertilizer. Nothing Is better for n top-drc-sslng
than mnnure, which may bo applied when weather
permits at, any time during tho winter. If ma
nure Is not avallablo equal pnrts of nltrnto of sod
and field phosphate Bhould be applied at tho rat
of 200 to 800 pounds of thi mixture to an acre.
