per acre from $10.58 to $22.05 due
almost entirely to the difference in
the amhunt of labor used in .growing
the crop. Thee two factors of yield
per acre and efficiency in tbe use of
labor enter into every crop cost ac
count, says Mr. Taylor and tell the
story of why some farmers can make
money out of their crops while others
are fai'ing. The separate accounts
show that practically one-half of the
farmers produced their crop within
a range of 10 cents above and below
the average, and that the other half
ranged from 24 cents below to 24
cents above the average cost of 4C
cents per bushel.
Farmers of the county will be urg
ed to keep these records again, ac
cording to County Extension Agent
Snipes, because by this means the
farmers can study their own business
and find out how to increase the
spread between the cost of production
and the selling price.

3 )30 OUTLOOK FOR
SHEEP INDUSTRY
Strength of Present Prices and Pros
pects For Good Market Offer
Inducements to Eaisers.
The outlook for the sheen iiWus
ry justifies .some expansion accord
:: to the survey of the division of
crop and livestock estimates made
by A. E. Anderson. Drastic- liquida
tion brought jiri.es to lower levels.
"ivorable wool situation helped far
riers, however. Less sheep on feed
aaid a redaced spring lamp crop fa
vors a strong market for several
months. Market receipts from Ne
iir: -.;ka totaled 1.369,000 sheep and
la i lbs last year.
Drastic liquidation of the sheep in--lui
iry in 1920 andT921 brought it
into favorable relation to demand.
While there was some downward
tendencies in markets last year
prices were generally satisfactory
ffben other meat animals were sold
rt comparatively low prices. Present
prices are good and the prospects fa
vor a strong market into the sum
mer. The number on feed at the first of
the year was four per cent less than
the previous year. The decrease was
heavy in the extreme western states
; nd also less in the corn belt states.
i ne decrease was onset some by m-
r ase in Utah, Montana, Wyoming
rnd northern Colorado.
Nebraska is relatively unimport
ant as a sheep breeding state, pro
ducing something like 100,000 head
per year. However, the state ranks
i'ii;h as a sheep feeding state usual
If leading among corn belt states.
Market receipts of sheep from Ne
braaka while containing unknown
duplication show a large volume and
a steady increase since 1920. Rec
orus show 1.033,000 lambs and

I the division of crop and livestock CM
tunnies obtained actual movements

In conclusion the outlook offers
opportunity for some expansion in
the sheep industry. However, the
marsei outlet tor mutton is limited

supply results in sharp fluctuations.

NEBRASKA PAIRYING
SHOWS AN INCREASE
Efficient production and conserva
tion in further expansion in dairying
is suggested by A. E. Anderson, gov

ceeds domestic demand slightly.
Marked increase in consumption has
been shown in dairy products. For
eign exports are up to the pre-war
level. Domestic stocks of condensed
milk and cheese are very high. Milk
rows increased nearly one million
head during the ast four years.
Dairying has increased since 192x

Many devices have been installed
for protection of pyblic at grade
crossings but the most effective safe
guard is for drivers of autos to stop,
look and listen.
North Carolina enacted a law re-
ailirintr autos to ston hnt'nro irneoinir
effect, in spite of the increase in re
gistered autos. grade crossing cas
ualties on the princ ipal railway sys
tem of that state were reduced 50
per cent, vitalities being 4 instead
of S. injuries 11 instead of 22.
When it is considered tha such a
law is intended to safeguard the
drivers of autos against iniurv or
death at crossings, it would seem
tbi t they above all others should fa
vor its enactment.
If the "stop law" effects such a re
duction in North Carolina, how much
greater would be the saving of life
ironi Passage oi a similar law in all
S. C. R.
