Farm Program Approved By Both Major Parties FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1940 I.U..I. 11.1 u-1 11 II-1 'i farmers, more than anyone, have to realize that the present farm program is less of a political issue, than other differences between the major states an officer of the Cook County Farm Bureau. AAA has been worked out by farm leaders themselves and it largely has the approval of both major political parties. While the platforms of both parties are usually catch phrases and rather meaningless the real attitude of the party may be ascertained from the actions and words of party far as the Democratic party is concerned there is no question the present program because it is pi effect under the Democratic administration. There has been a question in many minds about the program thinking that it is a program and forgetting that it is a program developed by farmers themselves and adopted by the present administra- tration.

The following is quoted from the Chicago Daily ews, favor Tuesday, August 6, 1940 and refers to Candidate conference with farm leaders at Des Moines, Iowa. C. Smith of Pittsfield, president of the Illinois Agricultural Association and vice president of the American Farm Bureua Federation, accompanied by Francis Johnson, president of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation, sat closeted with Mr. Willkie for forty minutes last evening while hundreds milled around outside. Mr.

Smith said he came to Des Moines at Mr. invitation. outlined the history of the agricultural problem beginning back in the early twenties. Smith said. 4Mr.

651 Pearson Street DBS PLAINES program unless a better one is gradually other words the Farm Bureau in its program seeks endorsement of both major political parties, which it has secured at the present according to the farm bureau. great deal may be said about the history of the development of the farm program as outlined by Mr. Smith to nominee Willkie which will not be repeated at this time. Therefore, it seems rather certain that the farm question is not an issue with either political party. The program is being gradually enlarged and it is a supplementary program.

It is realized that when more people are employed there will be less need for governmental assistance to farmers so far as production control is concerned. platforms are favorable to the soil conservation part of the program. The bringing of the blue stamp system to the large centers of relief, such as Chicago which began August 1st, will largely aid the vegetable and fruit farmer in moving his surplus crops by creating. more purchasing power for those on relief. As relief disappears, if it does, there will be less necessity for the surplus commodities program.

Therefore, we feel fully justified in saying that the farm program is-not a political issue except in a very minor sense. The differences between the two parties at the present time involve matters rather than the farm question. Farm Bureau, through its! county, state, and national hook-up has been able to work out a program for which a better substitute has not yet been produced. When a better substitute for the AAA is brought out, the Farm Bureau will be more than willing to give that substitute its Less Exercise More Feed For Cows it was worth $1 an acre as an exercise lot three years ago, now worth at least an acre as a feed Joe Mathews, who operates the J. D.

McGuire dairy farm near here, recently had this to say about the results of liming and reseeding a wrorn-out pasture as part of an erosion control program demonstrated by the University of Illinois College of Agriculture and the U. S. Soil Conservation Service. The as field because of a small artificial lake and stock pond loeated in virtually worthless in the spring of 1938 after 30 years of almost continuous grazing. Desirable grasses had disappeared and sorrel, plantain and weed grasses had taken their place.

Today, Mathews points out, the Spring Lake pasture is a mass of sweet clover, timothy, and redtop which defies the ravaging march of Slopes formerly vulnerable to erosion are now completely protected by a green armor of vegetation. Planted to corn in the spring of 1938 to kill weeds, the east half of the field was limed at the rate of four tons to the acre on the corn, and winter barley was drilled on the entire field between the rows in mid-September to provide partial protection against erosion losses. The west half of the field was limed in early January, 1939, and by March 1, the entire area had been seeded broadcast with five pounds an acre each of timothy, redtop, lespedeza and sweet clover. Pasture improvement, growing of legumes and grasses and spreading of limestone are three of five practices being emphasized during 1940 to enable Illinois farmers to get more conservation of soil, water and human resources. The other practices are contour farming and tree planting.

Cooperating in the program are the University of Illinois College of Agriculture, the U. S. Soil Conservation Service and other agencies and services of the U. S. Department of Agriculture.

H. Simerl, of the agricultural economics staff of the University of Illinois College of Agriculture. Reasons for the prediction are that there will be fewer eggs on on the market and there will be a stronger consumer demand for eggs than a year earlier. Egg production will be lower because of the combination of a smaller chick hatch last spring and heavier marketings of hens.

This means that laying flocks will be 5 to 10 per cent smaller this fall than a year ago, Simerl said. Turkey prices also may be considerably higher this fall than last because of a reduction in turkey production and increased consumer demand. From January to May this year the commercial hatcheries produced 16 per cent fewer turkey poults than in 1939, he explained. Good Management Brings Better Hog Producing Record Careful breeding and selection, rigid sanitation, balanced rations and good management are the foundation of profitable swine production, explains W. E.

Carroll, head of the animal husbandry department of the University of Illinois College of Agriculture. Although pigs produce more meat for a given amount of feed eaten than any other meat-producing animal, a hog at market weight has consumed the equivalent of about 15 bushels of corn to produce material in his carcass. By using the points recommended as the foundation of porfitable swine management, hogs can be made more efficient producers of human food, Carroll believes. In a long-time experiment on this problem at the University swine farm the pigs are separated into rapid-gaining and slow-gaining strains on the basis of weight at 180 days of age. The rapid-gaining gilts are mated with rapid-gaining boars and the slow-gaming gilts with the slow gaining boars.

The pigs from these matings are carried to six months of age at which time parent stock for a new generation is selected from among them in accordance with rate of gain. This system of selection will be continued until rapid-gaining and slow- gaining strains are developed, if this can be done. Crossing two such strains should then reveal how the characters essential to rapid gains are transmitted from parent to offspring. Frank C.

Price REHER Motor SALES Dealer YORK AND IRVING BENSEN VILLE USED CARS Differences In Land Use May Be Related To Debt Difference in land use may be closely related to debt burdens, according to a recent survey of 218 Cumberland county farms studied with reference to debts owed on each acre.

The survey made by L. J. Norton, professor of agricultural economics, and N. L. Smith, assistant in agricultural economics, in cooperation with Farm Adviser Charles Tarble.

The soil productivity ratings in the area, which should measure inherent productivity, averaged practically the same in all but the highest debt group. The general quality of the soil wTas rather low. The survey showed that mortgaged farms in 1935 and a higher percentage of crop land in com, wheat and in total soil-depleting crops that did the mortgage-free farms. The mortgaged farms had id and less idle crop com yields that averaged about two bushels more an acre than did the mortgage-free farms ie mortgage-free farms in 1939 had 3 per cent less of their crop land in soybeans for grain, 8 per cent less in corp and about 7 per cent less in all soil-depleting crops than did the mortgaged farms. More com, broom com a id total soil-depleting crops are grjwn and less land is idle on the moie heavily mortgaged farms.

For all groups this tendency increases somewhat with the size of the debt burden on each acre. However, according to the survey, more intensive use of land in the high-debt group is also associated with better land. Farms not cooperating with the AAA were of somewhat higher inherent productivity than cooperating farms. However, the present soil productivity was higher on cooperating farms. Families old To Plan For Years Of Expense those who have been paying the bills these many years.

Advice giv- The voice of experience from 472) Illinois farm families kept i home account records during 1939 tells young married couples where their money probably will go in the years to come. These records were summarized by home accounts specialists from the University of Illinois College of Agriculture. First of all find that undoubtedly the money value of their living and savings will increase from the first flye years they are married until around the time they will celebrate their silver wedding anniversary. From then on, pretty likely to decline. So say i payi Aav en is to plan ahead for the peak times of expense.

Savings increase during this same period of marriage ana then decline gradually. The decline is the result primarily of the decline in life insurance payments and payment of principal, say home accounts specialists. However, there usually is an increase in other investments for old age. Newlyweds have to worry much about the food bills during the first four years of their married life, but they will have to figure on furnishing and equipping their home then. Clothing bills are lowest at this period, because there are few people in the family, but the highest average amount for clothing usually is spent by women married one to four fact of interest to all husbands.

During the five to nine years married period, young folks might as well figure on doctor bills and medical expense for babies. Other items will have to be budgeted accordingly. There was a tendency for operating expenses for the household to go up gradually over a period of years. However, it is higher during the five to nine year period probably because of additional services needed while the children are small. Cash outlay for housing and recreational equipment reaches its peak during the 10 to 15 year marriage period.

Families might as well figure right now that they will spend a great deal of money keeping up with expenses in the 15 to 35 year married period, for this is the time when savings, food, clothing, recreation and education other than college, reach their peak and cause a drain on the purse. Usually the children are in high school. Furnishings and equipment reach their second highest peak at this time, largely because furnishings have to be replaced and parents wish to make their home as attractive as possible for the young people. College expenses start showing up in the budget during the 15 to 25 years married period, but reach their peak in the following 10 years. Church contributions and community welfare are major items at this time.

After a couple has been married 35 years, their chief type of savings goes into investments. This is prohaoly because families are recouping funds expended on the children during eariler periods and also are saving for old age, the specialists explain. Transportation costs and gifts are at their peak during this period, probably because Drainage areas in Illinois have too little slope to afford adequate natural drainage. Before the prairie land in the central part of the state could be farmed, extensive systems of tiling and ditching were necessary. In establishing a system which would handle all the it was necessary to construct drains and ditches across the lands of many different owners.

The authority to construct such drainage works has been by the state legislature to drainage districts organized in accordance with the laws of the state. In 1879 the legislature enacted twro separate acts on known as the Levee Act, the other as the Farm Drainage Act. All districts under both acts are divided into general classes as respects their organization: first, districts formed by mutual agreement among all landowners affected and including only the lands of the parties to the agreement; and second, districts formed on petition either by a majority of the adult landowmers owning one-third in area of the land or by one third of the adult land owners owning one third majority in area of the land, under which circumstances the lands of an unwilling minority, benefited by the proposed improvement, can be included in the district. The second general class of drainage districts, that in which a majority can coerce a minority, is far more common than any other and is the only feasible kind of district for doing large-scale drainage work. Petitions are directed to the county court and, if approved, commissioners are appointed, whose duty it is to make a survey comparing the costs and benefits of drainage.

After their report is filed, a hearing is set at which any interested party may appear and file his objections. The functions of drainage districts are exercised by commissioners appointed by the county court. The organization of drainage districts is a very exacting process and should be handled by persons familiar with the law and its operation. Laws on drainage are in the Illinois Revised Statutes, Chapter 42. couple has fewer obligations and finally has a chance to travel.

The gifts mainly went to grown children of the family to help them establish their owrn homes. roseixe auction service Will Finance your Auction Safes pi Pay Cash if You So Desirf EMIL BENHART SON, Auctioneers Roselle State Bank will Finance A11 Farm Sales W.
