The time has arrived when a farmer does not need to bring more land under cultivation; rather he should endeavor to improve those acres which are already being cultivated to produce the maximum crop at a smaller cost. Stumps in cultivated fields reduce the of that field more than any other factor, and, in man" instances thcause an annual loss of ten to twelve per cent in crop area, besides forming a harbor for rodents, insects and other pests. The time lost in working around these stumps and the repair of farm machinery and harness amounts to considerable in th course of a year. 'Stumps in cultivated fields prohibit and make impossible the use of modern machinery in farmimr. By using pyrotol, the war salvage explosive, distributed by the Missouri College of Agriculture, these stumps can be removed at a smaller cost than at any time in the past.

Pyrotol is delivered to farmers for the cost of cartridging, boxing and transportation which places the cost considerably below that of commercial dynamite. In the. majority of cases the cost of removing stumps from cultivated fields can be paid for in crops within one or two years. Stump-free fields mean bigger and easier production from the same area of land. PILES Cured without the knife.

The dairy heifer, since she is for the present unproductive, is likely to be neglected after the pasture season is ended. To keep the young stock growing normally during the winter months the department of dairy husbandry of the 'Missouri College of Agriculture suggests the following rations: If silage and clover or alfalfa hay are available, feed from two to five pounid3 of corn or other farm grown grains available, depending the age of the animals. Heifers close to calving time can profitably be fed somewhat larger quantities of grain.

If silage is available but no clover or alfalfa iay, a good ration Would consist of silage and fodder or mixed hay with a grain mixture consisting of equal parts of corn and linseed meal. Cottonseed meal or gluten feed may be fed in place of linseed meal. Where clover or alfalfa hav is fed alone dairv heifers will do fairly well but will not make normal growth. About two pounds of corn daily will improve the ration at small cost. When only corn fodder or timothy hay is on hand it i3 generally best to purchase clover or alfalfa hay and feed equal parts of the two roughages.

A good grain mixture for this roughage consists of two parts of corn to one of linseed meal.

TEN TO RECEIVE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION The Highway Department intends to carry out in full, its promise to the people of Missouri that the highway program would be pushed to the limit and speedily completed in the event that Proposition 5 carried.
