Good Soil Increases
Farm Crop Yields
Tests Reveal Value
05 Proper Nutrients
High crop yields per acre on the
farm, like mass production in in-
dustry, are the secret of financial
success, according to Emil Truog,
professor of soils at University of
Wisconsin.
“It costs no more for seed and
tillage — usually the main expenses
in crop production — to grow a $50
crop than a $25 crop,” he declares.
Wisconsin tests show that addition-
al crop yields resulting from ^eavy
fertilization cost only $2 to $3 per
ton for alfalfa and 10 to 15 cents
per bushel for corn and oats.
“The extra cost of -a larger
yield per acre lies simply in the

additional fertility removed from
the soil. But even this is partly com-
pensated for in the case of legumes
by the greater amounts of nitrogen
the bigger crop supplies to the -soil.
“High acre yields are also the se-
cret of success in erosion control
and soil conservation. When yields
on less erodible land are doubled or
trebled through adequate liming
and heavy fertilization, a bigger
acreage of more erodible lands can
be returned to forests and per-
manent grass. That means more and
better food for all.”
Herds and Flocks
Damp litter in laying houses fre-
quently results in colds and other
diseases. Dampness around water
containers can be eliminated in pens
with running water by putting a
drain pipe through the floor and set-
ting the watering pan on a frame
over the drain pipe.
Dry litter pays off.
Free Elections
Ever pay any attention to your
newspaper reports of trouble en-
countered in the smaller European
nations concerning free elections?
The former satellites of Nazi Ger-
many, and the present satellites of
Soviet Russia, are finding the ideal
of elections incompatible with those
political doctrines that have been
foisted upon them. Such insane
foolishness as haying the masses go
to the polls for honest and secret
voting, they say, is reserved for the
j decadent democracies.
These classless and enlightened
denizens under benevolent socialist
governments (that’s the picture
drawn up for consumption of peoples
still ruled by despotic capitalists) do
not of course value the power of the
vote. They do not know what a
workable factor of democracy the
vote is. Not having permitted the
will of the people to develop through
free speech, a free press, and free
elections, the fetters of ruling classes
are likely to remain.
Example, Britain
No option can have free elections,
while at the same time it tries to
artificially discipline its labor force
and foster government management
of industry. Recent events in Erit-
ain give point to this statement. It
was evident to me while in England
last August that the nation was in j
for trouble. Absenteeism of work-
ers in coal mines had risen to about
25%, and this was reduced to 18%
only in January, when the coal fam-
ine was already a reality. Pro-
ductivity remained inexplainably
low.
Because there was a lack of nation-
al discipline, that is, the normal self-
discipline common in America’s in-
dustrial workers, coal was not com-
ing from the mines. Parliament was
afraid to discipline the miners to get
coal. Parliament feared results at
the next election. This explains why
the labor government calmly
watched the coal crisis develop, step
by step, fully aware that it was com-
ing.
No Ruling Classes
No country can promote govern-
ment management of industry, as
England is trying to do, and main-
tain discipline of labor along with
free elections. Stalin has the first
two, in good measure, but he is not
troubled with elections. Free elec-
tions under present conditions in
Russia would have little meaning.
They are a risk that the Soviet ruL
ing class could never assume.
We in America have found that
the best type of discipline comes
from incentives found in the ambi-
tion to get ahead. When a man
knows he can better his lot and is
not afraid to try, the best kind of self-
discipline is the result. The lowli-
est immigrant can become a great
inventor. An assembly line worker
can plan to own the factory, and can
do it honestly. Things like these
have happened too often to go un-
noticed.
If we want to keep high efficiency,
with the highest possible wages and
an increasing standard of living, we
must keep private ownership and
private management of the tools of
production. Holding to these things
in a free market and cherishing the
freedoms of speech, assembly, and
press, we shall have little fear of
dictatorship. Free elections would
cot permit it.
Delegate Elected
By St. Francis
Farmers Local
Cyril Neusch was elected a dele-
gate to the national Farmers Un-
ion convention to be held in Den-
ver March 8 to 11 at the St. Francis
Farmers Union Local meeting: held
Friday, Feb. 13.
J. R. Hogge gave a short talk on
tolerance and soil conservation.
Reports on the state convention
that was held in Amarillo was giv-
en by Neusch and Hogge.
Four new songs, led by Mrs. Joe
Berg, were lehrned. Reports were
given by the legislative director
and cooperative director, both
stressing the importance of letting
congressmen and senators know
that they are bitterly opposed to
military training.
Refreshments were served by
Mr. and Mrs. George Raef. The
next meeting will be held March
12.
Plants Aid to Health
Therapeutically, plants offer a
stirring challenge to botanists. Can-
cer is a problem of growth, funda-
mentally the same process in both
plants and animals. Its cure may be
found through the study of abnor-
mal growth in plants.

That Adam’s Apple
Do girls tease you about your
Adam.’s apple? Well, they shouldn’t,
because, according to legend, it’s the
fault of their ancestor. Eve, the first

says that the Adam’s apple received
its name from a belief that a piece
of the apple which Eve gave to
Adam stuck in his throat.

Men and women everywhere agree:
Only one is No. 1—only Chevrolet is
first—in all-round value as in popu-
larity. Consequently, more people drive
Chevrolets than any other make,
according to official nationwide regis-
trations; and more people want Chev-
rolets than any other make, according
to seven independent nationwide
surveys. Here, in the new 1948 Chev-
rolet, is record value. For new and
even more luxurious styling, colors and
appointments have been added to all
of Chevrolet’s other advantages of

Feed is pasted when animals die.
A pullet that dies in December rep-
resents a loss of 40 pounds of feed.
The loss of a newborn pig repre-
sents a loss of 140 pounds of feed.
To avoid excessive loss of butter-
fat in skim milk in winter, run
enough hot water through the sep-
arator bowl so it will come out the
cream and skim milk spouts. Do
this as soon as separator is up to
normal speed.
Moldy or inferior corn is less like-
ly to cause trouble when fed to cat-
tle than when fed to horses and
mules.

Mechanized Hog Farm
Makes Pig Raising Easy
A fully modernized and mechan-
ized hog farm can be so rigged that
one man can handle 100 sows and
bring to market each year 1,500 to
2,000 hogs—a half-million pounds of
pork on the hoof, according to Dr.
Waldo Semon of the B. F. Goodrich
company.
This is possible by mechanized
means of conveyor belts, chutes and
other devices. Tests show, he said,
that rubber-tired tractors and other
farm vehicles require only 40 to 50
per cent as much pulling power on
plowed ground or sod as do steel
wheels, and can plow a field in 25
per cent less time and with 25 per
cent less fuel consumption.

Deep Litter Will Help
Keep Laying House Dry
Deep litter will help keep well-
insulated and well-ventilated laying
houses dry this winter, says Iowa
State college. Not only will there be
more eggs to put in the crate, but
also the house need not be cleaned
as frequently if the litter and drop-
pings are kept dry. A deep litter
keeps the floor dry because it de-
velops heat as it slowly decomposes
in the laying house, insuring better
flock health.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.—A 19-year-
old paralytic girl has confessed the
fatal shooting of her stepfather.
Police, called to the scene, found
pretty Jacqueline Barregarye sit-
ting in a wheel chair, a gun in her
hand. Sprawled on the floor beside
her was Lawrence Barregarye, 40,
dead of four bullet wounds in the
chest.
Jacqueline, who greeted police
with the calm announcement that
“Eve just shot my stepfather,” said
she fired at him when he attempted
to attack her with a pair of scis-
sors.
She related tearfully, Barregarye
left her mother, Loretta, 40, last
March but that he had returned re-
cently to live with them again.
Since his return, she said, their
home life had been marked by fre-
quent bickering and quarreling over
family finances, reaching its peak
when he threatened to kill her
another.
She said her mother had feared
Barregarye would “cause trouble”
and had traded a wrist watch for
a .38 caliber pistol which she left
with Jacqueline when she took two
younger children to a nearby park.
The young girl said her stepfather
had found her at a desk and ac-
cused her of “snooping.”
He picked up the scissors and
started toward her, She said, and
she drew the pistol from the folds
of her housecoat and fired one shot,
hitting him in the chest. /
She said he had grappled with her
and pulled her from the wheel chair
and that she then shot him three
more times.
