A Man-Made Desert' 9 in 00NT TURN FUN INTO MAYHEM ON APRIL FOOL'S DAY April Calendar Jackson-Perrv Home Bureau The old saying-, "Don't tool with a might fool you," will be a good one to remember on April 1. says M. Seagraves, director of safety for the Illinois Agricul- to.ural Association.

Seagraves doesn't have much use for the so-called "practical joker" who takes April Fool's Day as open season on the rest the world. Safety-minded persons decry the nit-wittery which extends from the prank of yanking chairs from under expectantly descending posteriors to the playful and ingenious device of pushing someone else's teeth into a water bubbler. "Fun is one thing and mayhem Is quite another," says Seagraves. "And yet the pursuit of the first too frequently results in the come.the 1st of April. "Perhaps if more of us would let the jokesters know we think their of -humor has the odor of a wet guinea pig, we might to a measure discourage them.

Let's have our fun, but it hardly seems necessary to risk crippling some' one for a more properly, a bray." April Executive board meeting, home of Mrs. Robt. E. Lee, Pinckneyville. 9:30 a.

H. I. A. Tester Although Illinois is blessed with more than her share of the nation's total soil wealth, man-encouraged erosion is making serious inroads on the farm prosperity of Jacksou-P'erry county, and many Illinois communities. Spots of "man-made desert" are appearing in the midst of prosperous agricultural communities, and these deserts will spread into adjacent land unless soil conservation practices-are employed.

Such a spot is shown in the two views above, taken on farms in the Munson soil conservation district, near Geueseo. The abandoned farmstead in the.iipper view was. lost under a mortgage by the former owner, and the jjO which supported it are badly dam- aged by erosion. Gullies and sheet erosion are testimonials of "hard" farming of sloping land which should-have bean protected by contour tillage and long leg-ume-grass rotations. The 'lower view shows the result of 20 years of cash-rent farming.

The farm essentially is ruined for crop production. It is now op- prated on a livestock share plan and the formerly cropped slopes are protected by pasture grasses.

F.

Russell, director of livestock marketing for the Illinois Agricultural Association, who also serves as manager of the Illinois ings of legumes and grasses made I Wool Marketing Association. Shear- by farmers participating in the, ing is now. getting under way in 1939 AAA farm program represent- many Illinois counties and the toed an increase of more than one- third over such seedings in 1938. Deterioration of range land is shown by the fact that where four acres are now required to graze a cow for one mouth, only tjwo acres were.required, when range was first opened to pasturage. tal 'dip is expected to exceed the annual average 5,000,000 pounds.

Russell said that the consumption of wool for United States mills has averaged 80,000,000 pounds per month for the last six months, or a total consumption of 480,000,000 pounds in the six-months' period, which, he said, is the highest rate lively, Russell said. In 1940, 268,000 pounds of wool were marketed through the Illinois Wool Marketing Association. Growers received cents more per pound than they could have received for their wool at shearing time at country points. Average price at country points during April May, June and July, Russell said, was 2D.5 cents per pound while the average price of all wool in the 1940 iiool was 33.16 cents per pound. Jackson-Perry county is not planning a' wool pool, but it is recommended that individual wool producers market their wool through the association's warehouse at St.

Louis. Full information can be obtained at Hie Farm Bureau of- flce. FOR bred Duroc Jersey boars and spring pigs suitable for 4-H projects. James Shaw, Cutler, 111. good heav pricet right.

The meet- ings were called to discuss and make recommendations for the sixth annual Illinois Farm Sports Festival, an event which draws more than 3000 participants and some 25.000 spectators to the.cam- jus of the University Illinois where it is held in late summer.

Two days later, the gl ollp may go oyer together the same men met to report on what they had done. Enthusiasm i1an high, twenty-three members signed were reported. Almost double that number reported as interested and would sign later, Mr.

Ziegler states.

Hercl Improvement Association SMALL HOG HOUSES ARE WARM Little pigs depend very much of wool consumption in U. S. his-I upon the heat from the sow for tory. Total wool production in the U.

Russell said, is a little over 400,000,000 pounds per year. With consumption running almost twice the total U. total' production, he said that wool is in a very favorable. position. Russell said it should prove advantageous for Illinois wool growers to market their iwool through I their own cooperative.

Thirtyrsev- en counties, he said, have already set up county wool pools for 1941. The Illinois Wool Marketing Association has made arrangements whereby, growers residing in southern Illinois counties that do not conduct wool, pools, deliver. their wool direct to a warehouse St. Louis, at Rutger was ruined by hailstones (right) which measured nearly 3" in diameter.

Her heat is most effective when it cannot readily radiate into the air and rise aivay. In a small house with a low roof there is a minimum loss of heat.

That is. one reason why small field houses are so satisfactory for farrowing purposes, states E. T. livestock extension specialist of the University of Illinois. The popular Gx6 foot A-shaped house with a of boards only 5 to 0 feet long has a comparatively small volume of overhead air.

With a sack hung over the doorway on a cold night to reduce the circulation of air, the radiation from the sow warms the space much above the temperature outside. hog raisers hang -a lighted lantern from the peak of the roof for a very young on a cold night as a further aid to comfort.
