Farms of Iowa Becoming Larger and Fewer; Average Increases From 160 to 169 Acres African Elephant Most Dangerous CLEVELAND, O. (UPt Russell Barnett Aitken. big game hunter back from an African expediiion, classifies elephants as the most dangerous of the wild beasts.

"The African elephant not to be confused with the docile Indian elephants seen at circuses is as dangerous as any other two beasts." Aitken said. He explained that the animal was most dangerous as a cow with calf or a bull in mating season. Old hat veils can be made to look like new by pressing them sheets of waxed paper. FIKML UH MK Iowa are getting larger I and lewei, according to John Tim- mons. an agricultural economist at Iowa State College.

Eased on figures released by the 195U U. S. Census ol Agriculture, the aveiage size of today's farm has increased fiom 160 to 169 acres. The census counted only 203,139 Iowa farms in 1950, a drop of nearly 10,000 since 1940. These "missing farms have been combined i other farms.

Ninety-two percent oi the farms were classed by the census as "commercial" farms--those selling products worth S250 or more a year. The other percent fell into different classes About 4 percent were "part-time" farms--with operators working olf the place 1UO days or more a year. Another 4 percent were listed as "residential" faims, were living quarters for citj workers. Five counties, all in northwestern Iowa--Ida, Osceola. O'Brien, Ciay and Sioux--reported that 80 percent or more of their commercial had sold products which totaled $5,000 and higher.

Seven counties--all in southern jowa--reported that less than 30 percent of their farms sold prod- acts worth more than $5,000. These counties were Appaaoose, Davis, Buren, Monroe, Wapello, Deca- cur and Lucas. In Iowa's 87 other counties, the number of farms selling products totaling $5,000 or more ranged from 30 to SO percent. The census also reported laiger movements of city workers into rural areas. This trend was noticed especially in four counties--Appanoose, Lee, Polk and Wapello -where more than one-fifth of all were classified as "residential" or "part-time." Timmons says this trend of ur- ban workers moving to the country probably will increase as the state's industries giow -and as more industries move into Iowa.

Can't Fool Worms, Science Discovers CORPUS CHRISTI. Tex. -An experiment by the U. S. Department of Agriculture in coastal Tex- discounted the theoiy that "suicidal emergence" may be a to contiol pink bollworms.

Before the experiment some farmers aigued that if cotton planting were delayed in the spring, the pink bollworms would emerge from hibernation only to find no cotton and hence starve to The experiment, in which cages of moths and worms were studied in nine counties, disproved that. Dr. D. M. McEarhern said the experiment indicated that the insects appear to know the opportune time to emerge and can go through a long stage of dormacy if necessary to wait until cotton is available to feed on.

Water Makes Pork Gains in Winter Plenty of fix-sh water, always available, can arid about 10 pounds IKT head to I he winter gains of your hogs. This is the conclusion from an experiment conducted winter at the I a Stale College swine i i fai mby Landy E. Altman, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, and Goidon C.

Asliton and Damon Cation, swine nutri- tionalists at Iowa State College. In (lie 40 days Dec. 12, 1031, and Jan. 23, 1952, pigs which KCJ I then watei Irorn a tank at atmospheric temperature averaged 49.1 pounds of gain per pig. The average atmospheric temperature i this i was 16 degrees.

Water often froze solid within a lew minutes a being placed ihese pigs' trough. Heated Automatic Waterers Two lots of pigs leceiving their water in heated automatic water- eis gained 58 and 60.2 pounds pei head i the same time. One lot drank horn a tank thermostatically controlled at 55 degrees, and the other drank i a tank kept at 45 degrees. The difference in temperatures cannot be credited with any difference in the late of gain, the researchers say, but the constant availability ol the water is important. When I he atmospheric temperature became milder, from Jan.

24 to Feb. 27, the pigs receiving water at atmospheric temperature made just as rapid gains as the pigs getting the warmer water. In the second period, the atmospheric temperature averaged about 28 degrees. So water under atmospheric conditions was available to the pigs during a large part of most of the days in this period. However, the hand-wa- teied hogs did not regain the 10 pound disadvantage they showed on Jan.

23. They remained about 1U pounds behind the other lots on Feb. 27. Feed consumption per 100 pounds of gam was higher for the hand- watered pigs during the period when their water remained frozen much of the time. From Dec.

12 to Jan. 23 the hand-watered hogs took pounds of feed to make 100 i of gain, while the warm-I a i hog's took only 34781 and 'C pounds of feed for 100 pounds ol Kiiin In UK milder weather the i i i a hogs made 100 pounds ol gam on 402 pounds of feed i the others took 410.07 and 433.11 pounds of feed for sunn 1 gam- No Difference The decided the wa- teici'. i i 45-degroe tempera- tuu- did 4 as well for the pigs as those i the 55-degree tem- peraUne They used 117 kilowatt- hoins of ok'clricily during the 11 ol the furnishing i lor 12 pigs. The amount ot i i i i used i depend on the of pigs, the lesearch- ois poml out. To "save" on electricity you i disconnect current supply to the waterers on days when I a a atmospheric temperatures aie above fieezing.

There seems to be no a a a in keeping the temperatuie higher a that ne- ce-Jsiiy to prevent but if the Itu'imostats were set at 40 de- 01 lout'i I lie water would freeze on top i cold spells. The therefore recommend i i a at 45 to 48 degrees to pic-vent surface freezing at the lowest operational cost. Farm Calendar Sept. 9--Monroe township Farm Bureau meeting.
