St. Pan/) The farmer who wants to studying farm business should not overlook the importance of good records of feed consumption by his live stock. Along with the cash and the crop records, the information on feed use will help show the way to improvement in practices from year to year. Records of feed consumption are usually kept on groups of live stock rather than on individual animals In practice the operator observes carefully the amount of feed used in a day, and on this basis estimates the quantity fed in a month. In the record book, one page is assigned to each class of live stock, with different columns for the different kinds of feed. It is a good plan to check once in a while on the estimates by comparing the total feed recorded with the amounts of feed that have been actually used. By placing a value on his feed as he goes along, the farmer can readily figure his feed results in cost per pound of gain for ineat animals and cost per unit produced by dairy herds. In order to study his feed records intelligently, the operator must have standards with which to compare his own results. Cow testing records supply convenient yardsticks for the dairyman. Co-operative farm management groups use the average for the association in the various classifications. Files of the county agent's office usually contain records of various feeding trials which afford good standards for comparison. The i farmer who wishes to evaluate his records can. do so conveniently by consulting the county agent and assembling a set of standards applicable to his own type of farming. 0&8H FOR DEAD BOSSES and CATTLE $&00; Cows, $4.00; Hogs and Sheep removed free!

If loss of nitrogen by leaching can be prevented, a pound of actual nitrogen a year for a tree in full bearing is an ample supply. Too much nitrogen checks the desirable coloring of the fruit.

Comparative study ef the farm situation since 1935 with the fiveyear period preceding the World war reveals that current purchases of farm machinery and motor vehicles has doubled those made in the early period. The great increase was made in the purchases of motor vehicles, while expenditures for other farm machinery averaged about the same. The number of horses and mules on farms was reduced from 25 to 15 million head and the number of hired laborers employed was about 13 per cent lower than in the pre-war years. The number of farms is about 10 per cent greater, the acreage cultivated has increased, and agricultural production is materially greater than it was.

KNOX ATTORNEY AT LAW Pries Bldf. * Care of Orchard Fertilization of the "orchard" instead of the "trees" would do much toward maintaining good orchard sites through succeeding generations of trees, says Grover F Brown, agronomist in the northeast region of the Soil Conservation service. Nitrogen has been the chief plant food used in orchards with the result that cover crops often lack lime, phosphorus, and potash. Tests show, says Erown, that although trees in orchards may not respond to phosphorus and potash, the cover crops frequently do need these two elements. - OFFICE HOUKB - Taeodays and Fridays Sjyrg bj AppqintaBowt . ' 4 ' ^ V Wi Seedlings Need Room* It te a big mistake to plant forest tree seedlings too close together, according to R. W. Graeber, extension forester of N. C. State college. He recommends a spacing of six by seven feet, requiring 1,000 trees to the acre. This can be varied somewhat according to conditions, however. In reclaiming gullies, for example, a closer spacing of four or f i v e f e e t by s e v e n f e e t r r a y y y ' r i better results. Much clo.s-. i p.ct.ik4;i^ will stunt the trees' growth. Washington, March 12--Millions of citizens were sharply reminded this week that the national defense program is no abstract matter, but a vital factor in their lives. Talk in Congress about billions for this and that was brought into focus by the ten per cent defense tax item in personal income tax returns. While the levy is small, it is generally recognized that next year the rate will probably be boost ed considerably and extended to lower Incomes to provide necessary government revenue. The Treasury's latest drive to sell defense bonds will be a whooping affair to highlight the government's need for money. Piled on the docks and in warehouses are enormous quantities of war supplies awaiting the enactment of the lease-lend bill. It is predicted that one of the first moves of the Administration -anil be to make shipping facilities available. The report persists that the government will take over some of the shipping now laid up at anchorage in our ports and owned by countries conquered by Germany. What financial arrangement will be invoked to take these foreign-registry boats over is not definitely knowni. The urgency is such that observers believe the President will find a way to utilize these water-carriers under the new powers pending legislation will confer on him. Some shipping experts anticipate that American vessels will be used, at first, to carry essential materials from Latin-American countries to Canadian ports on the Atlantic for easy trans-shipment to British vessels. Of course, if Congress provides a blank check which permits convoys with American warships, these delays in loading and unloading at transfer points will be eliminated. The fact that Mr. Roosevelt devoted the entire time of his last press conference to the subject ox labor settlement is taken as a hopeful sign that something will be done in this direction. The government's methods of dealing with labor disputes will shortly be stressed. John L. Lewis, the militant leader, comes out of relative obscurity this week to participate in negotiations for new wage agreements between the soft coal operators and the miners' union. Mr. Lewis has been ill and had plenty of time to meditate on his course of action.^ What he has to say during the next: few weeks will claim the attention of; the politicians and industrial leaders alike. Failure of the miners to work out a deal with their employers would precipitate a nation-wide strike at a time when factories engaged on de* fense orders demanding fuel. In ad* dition, the railroads are already hard* pressed to move munitions with * normal coal supply for their locomotives. An interruption in the fori* of a strike might paralyze the transportation systems. With Federal agencies blowing hot and cold on labor policies, Congress may soon take a hand. To all appearances the Senate if completely absorbed in debating the war aid bill. On the contrary, Senators are going about their routina duties, particularly in the morning when committee meetings require their attention. Many huge appropriation bills, which in other times would be subjectd to oratorical attacks in the Senate chamber, are passed within a few minutes. Not so in the House where the representatives thresh out the various items. They consider themselves closer to the people than the Senators. The Agriculture Department Appropriation bill carrying authorizations for $890,000,000, a few days ago had a stormy passage. Attempts to increase the parity payments on live basic farm crops were defeated. It is likely that only a handful of Senators from predominantly farm areas will harangue about this measure when it comes before their body. Believe it or not, there are now crowded conditions on the farms. A few days ago the Farm Security Administration reported that, the location of defense plants in some rural areas is pushing the farmers out. Some displaced rural workers are rinding employment in construction projects. This Federal agency stated "other tenant farmers in the surrounding territory are being forced to move because workers are offering to pay higher rent for farmhouses within commuting distance of the plant than owners formerly received for the entire farm. This condition is common to all rural defense areas." It is the hope of the F. S. A. that they can relocate farm families losing their homes by defense pressure. Near a proving grounds in Missouri, for instance, there is some possibility of acquiring family-size farms and no possibility of optioning large tracts of land for subdivision. The government says, "more than eighty per cent of all farm leases are nothing more than an oral agreement." The effect is "such slipshod, unbusinesslike arrangements often lead to disagreements, mutual distrust, and frequent shifting of tenants from one farm to another." Meanwhile, other localities are plagued as the migratory moy«tr ment is felt in farm areas. (Central Standard Time) St. Mary's Gatkolle Chardi Masses: Scmdays: 7:00; 8:80; 10 Ml Weekdays: 6:45; 8:00.
