Save Money, Help Farmer by Using State-Grown Foods BY WALTER w. MCLAUGHLIN Director, Illinois Department of Agriculture fTMlEKE are probably few people in Illinois who do not sympathize with the farmers in our state and in the entire country for that matter. No doubt most of us have said at one I'. • ! r unollier, - like .some- WALTLR W. M. LAI GHLLN, MltfcU TOR, ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE -C'J^ting ought to be done to help out the • farmer." However, we usually think ;#f that "something" as a remote ac- •ion--something that some one else fihould do, that the average citizen •ould have no part in. °n the contrary, the most effective help for the fanner can come through |Jie so-called average citizen--through P®ch individual's buying more of the Illinois fanner's produce. To take the (Dost obvious example, every day the - papers bring us news about the riff Acuities of the Illinois dairy farmers -how the necessity for keeping their aduction down to the level of the iblic's consumption is forcing many :«pr them into poverty. At present the average person #bly a pint of milk a day. If each one of us took a quart every day as nutritionist^. «ay we should ia order to attain the best health and the most attractive appearance, we would of course be consuming twice as much. Think what this would do tbe prosperity of the farmers. b Helping the Farmer Means Helping Yourself. Selfishly, of course, this Improved economic condition would eventually indirectly alTect all the rest of us. Then, too, of course we would be directly saving money by using milk, which gives the greatest food value for ti\e money, instead of more expensive foods. Amazing figures could be quoted on the effect that Increased consumption would hHve on Illinois' other principal food products--corn, of which Illinois produces :i30,S4r>,<HW bushels yearly; potatoes, 4,075,000 bushels; apples, 8,- 916,000 bushels; (teaches 4,300.000 bushels, and grapes, 6,800,000 bushels. Taking each food separately, it Is easy to see the direct economy in "Buying Illinois." Afjlk alone provides an ample supply of easily utilized proteins, calcium, phosphorus and necessary vitamins. Because of this com-# plete food value, nutritionists say that as the food budget is lowered the amount spent for milk should be increased proportionately. The fact that it would take 42 pounds of meat or 30 pounds of potatoes to supply as much calcium as is contained in v.a single quart of. milk is a striking illustration of the concentrated food value of milk. Potatoes are famous as a cheap source of energy with the bulk that stays the pangs of hunger. Corn has the advantage of being Inexpensive, both iu fresh and canned form; and-- a fact not generally realized--the lowly apple may well be used at breakfast and other times in place of the more costly orange, for apples are also a good source of that Vitamin C, for w (My inportaat. LAYING HENS NEED SHADE, GREEN FEED Comfort of Flock Important in Summer Time. --- ^ The pomfort of the poultry flock is a main consideration in getting good egg yields during warn weather, states G. W. JCnox, extension poultry man, University of Arkansas College of Agriculture. v V "Shade caii be provided, by the use of low-growing shrubs or fruit trees. Heavy leafed plants as the castor bean ^nake good shade, or temporary shade can be constructed by braking low frames covered with wire and then covered with straw, The poultry house should be made gs cool as possible. Opening up the front of the house, and windows on the back and ends will allow ventilation which will insure cool housed. Green feed is important In stimulating, egg production. Cowpeas and spy1 beans make good summer greens «8 they grow well in. hot weather They also stand dry weather fairly well. If a triple yarding system is used, by rotating the hens from one yard to the other each- day tender greens can be kept growing. ' Skimmilk will stimulate egg production and may be given either sweet or sodr, but should be fed the same way each day. Buttermilk may also be given. If as much as one gallon of milk Is fed each day for each 25 hens, a simple mash mixture may be used. This mixture may be made of 100 pounds bran, 100 pounds corn meal, and 3 pounds salt. Oyster shell Is kept before the hens, and a grain feed of 2 parts corn and 1 part wheat Is fed late in the afternoon. If no niilk is available, 75 pounds of meat scrap can be added to the mash mixture. Dry mash should be kept before the hens all the .time during the entire. year, , . Poultrymen of Illinois Find the Cost of Eggs Eggs, of which Illinois farmers were producing almost 137.000,000 dozens -annually In the Inst census year, were produced at an average cost of 13% cents a dozen In 1032 on a group of record-keeping poultry farms In this state, according to figures announced by R. M. Wilcox, of the department of agricultural economics, College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. At this rate the farmers' bill on the animal production reported in the last census would have been more than $18,000,000. While this was the average cost for n relatively large group of poultrymen in the state, some of the flock owners In the group kept their costs down as low as 6 or 7 cents a dozen. The low cost on all these farms was the result, mainly, of the very low prices of feeds during the past year. Higher feed prices will make costs much higher In 1933. The average cost «t rearing a pullet . on these poultry fanns was 4fl cents, but here again individual poltrymen using better management kept their pullet raising costs below 30 cents. An ther group of men not specializing In poultry production hut using their flocks as a source of Income along with other farm enterprises kept cost records on their poultry along with their Illinois farm account book records. The cost of producing eggs on. theae farmiT was 9.6 cents a doaeo. OFFICIALS RECEIVE sf ifTRANGE REQUESTS tMa for Mile-High Tower Is One Proposal. Washington.--Money-spending Ideas m<fre novel than feasible are received daily by the federal government's public works administration, which is charged wi$h placing the $3,300,000,000 emergency fund into pay roll-producing projects as quickly as possible. A project to build a steel tower "one mile high; containing 48 platforms (one for each state! and a runway so motorists could drive to the top is one proposal. The proponent explained that It would not only provide a vast number of man-yer.rs of employment to those needing work, but also it would solve another problem of surplus •gasoline, which motorists would ,consume driving up the structure.- Another application is that of, the owner of a circus that has seen better days.

Those that have a full firm'or hard abdomen are also less desirable, and those that have molted or begun to molt should be removed likewise. In breeds having yellow legs and skin, the discarded hens would also show yellow or medium yellow legs, and yellow beaks and vents." Feed for Ducks Since ducks in their wild state subsist largely upon Insects, seeds, small fishes and grasses, similar ingredient* must be included In the daily--menu: The animal protein may he provided by fish meal or. meat meal.'while for the green grasses may be substituted alfalfa, clover, lawn clippings or other green stuffs; Ducks also require lots of water. Otherwise the laying ration is very much like that fed to6pullets in their laying houses. On free ranee ducks will require less animal protein.

For, says P. B. Zumbro, poultry specialist for the Ohio State university, interest in turkey raising is becoming more intense each year. Increased Interest resulted in a demand upon county agricutural agents to arrange a series of meetings for turkey growers, that they "might talk over their problems.

"I feel soil as if I'd really done something disgraceful the moment my mother's back was turned. But honestly, I've done nothing, Smif." "You don't have to tell me that," Smif replied, "don't I know you?" At this the girl began to cry, childish tears of relaxed tension. "You're a brick. Smif. I might have known you'd stand by me. you are always such a rock to lean on." She wiped her eyes determinedly and sat forward in her chair. "Now listen." she said.

I can draw a little, and Cousin Carola suggested that I might be able to do miniatures, copying from photographs, you understand. Mother then remarked that she would love to have a good copy of a miniature of one of the Phelps ancestors. Father has the original. I was feeling pretty mushy about mother because she had consented to let me stay at home, and I determined to copy it for her, and.

When she died, he came here and, not having the right Introductions, had not been very successful. Also, he had married, had a sweet little wife and three babies. These expenses had made it necessary for him to, give lessons, although naturally he was nothing short of a "It Would be Tsrribls to Suspect Her. She's pMy Own Cousin."
