While the fine woven inner lin
ing fabric is still whole let us
vulcanize that worn tread. Soft
muddy roads are hardest on the
slightly worn treads, because
the softened condition of the
fabric lets each bump and jar
weaken, and each tiny sharp
rock cut , deep into the vital
part of the tire.

The cost of feeding lice on pigs
runs from $1 to $2.94 for every 100
pounds of pork produced maybe
more. Not that anybody wants to
feed lice. Oh no. But since lice
often go in company or as company
with hogs they have to be fed unless
got rid of.
The lice feed costs on- a lot of
Berkshires fed by the O. A. C. ani
mal husbandry department were a
dollar for each 100 pounds of pork
produced. On cross-bred animals of
larger type, the added lice cost was
$1.60. On a mixed lot of Durocs,
Poland Chinas and Hampshires it
was $2.84. And these hogs in all the
tests are said to have made a better
showing than they would have made
under average farm conditions.
The lousy pigs were uneasy and
restless and spent most of their time
when not eating in scratching their
backs and running around. The lice
free animals were contented and
quiet.
More protein was required by the
louse infested animals, and this is a
very expensive food. Its increased
use is said to have indicated that the
lice sucked blood to the extent that
the pigs craved additional protein to
make good the loss.
Lice control would have been
cheaper.

THE COMING SUMMER
Douglas county is to have the se
cond "model farm" of Oregon under
the' law recently passed, in which the
state is to maintain and keep a mo
del farm for the benefit of agricul
ture, horticulture and livestock.
County Agent Hurd and County
Fruit Inspector E. C. Armstrong will
select ground to be used within the
next few days. This will be a great
advantage to farmers, as the real
thing in. demonstration can be shown
rather than some experiment by one
who prefers to follow his own ideas
rather than the instructions given by
the head of the farm bureau. Results
will count on this farm, and the con
ditions under which each crop is pro
duced will be given, so that each
man interested can apply the same
methods to his own farm.
centers. We can continue to furnish
assistance In the prepsraiiu and Installation-
of accounting systems and
more extensively and accurately Blith
er and furnish to the farmers of the
nation all pertinent statistical Infor
mation. I need scarcely emphasize
the paramount Importance of making
available dally to producers fncts as
to mnrket prices, supplies, and de
mands. The market news services of
the department of agriculture have
already clearly proved their value.
The department now conducts and op
erates an Inspection service on fruits
and vegetables covering 104 markets.
Help Co-operative Associations.
"Particularly must the federal and
state agencies omit nothing to pro
mote farmers' co-operative associa
tions along right lines. Already, with
in a generation, many such bodies
have appeared and rapidly expanded.
It Is estimated that they now market
annually approximately $1,500,000,000
worth of commodities. They are of
very diverse forms and sizes. For
the most part, where they have been
successful they have centered their
activities on some one product, or on
related products-in a given area. The
Indications are that with the continued
success of these enterprises and with
the proper educational effort and di
rection they will develop even more
rapidly In the future. Through bul
letins, news articles, and lectures the
department- of agriculture hus endeav
ored to stimulate these efforts.
"The department Is requesting in
creased funds to make this extension
possible and will take the necossiiry
action promptly If the appropriations
are made."

NEED FOR MORE DAIRY COWS

Farmer's Family.
More dairy cows are needed on
many farms to produce food for the
family. To do this the cows will need
feed, such as grain, hay, stover, and
silage which may he produced. Hence
the cows will afford a market for the
crops and In return produce foods for
the family and contribute a valuable
by-product, manure, which If properly
used, will enrich the soil for iarger
crops and better profits.
