Tow will find no effort to push the local product? notwithstanding tbe fact Uiat it will bear comparison ami sianu up aiongsiue or any onicr nonr in the united Htatea, When yon buy a sack of floor that la not manufactured here, you Injure the local manufacturer, take money out of the pocket of the local workman, limit the market for the formers' wheat and lend a potent and powerful Influence toward helping; produce the stagnation that today Is making: the condition of tho farmer a hard one.

"tet him who is without sin among you cast tlie first atone." There Is not a person In the county, capable of mature thought who has not, and few who are not, guilty, of traaagreMlng.

"Tho station has found that under avorago farm conditions ono hog enn be produced for oach 10 acres of arm crops or ono for oach dairy cow, with llttlo or no coat except that of labor In caring for the animals. Tho hogs enn pick up enough of the things that woild otherwise bo, and often aro, nllowod o go to wasto to keep thorn and fatten thom for tho pork barrel." Attontlon was also callod by tho station man to a new form of foedlng contract that has bcon worked out by II. A. Mngren, livestock oxtonBlon specialist. This In designed to mutual lio tho Interests of growor and fcodor In feeding results, equallto losses be tween thorn, and adjust tho costs on a basis of oxponso to focdor and beno flts to growor. It provides for pay ment on a gain schedule, rathor than on length of feeding period or amount of liny foil. A copy of tho contract wup loft with K, H. Thomas, county agont, where Intorestod partlos may' call and look It ovor. "Whon to food and whon tq not has always boon a question with grow ers," Mr. Mcintosh said. "Profit hangti hirgoly on the prospective val uo of tho cattlo whon already for markot 90 to 160 days from tho tlmo foedlng begins. Othor things may on tor In, such as character of food, regularity of foedlng and wntortng, and kind of cattlo, but assuming that all this Is proporly lookod after tho foodor wants to know pretty closely Just what ho may oxpoct In tho way of gains at prevailing conditions." nesults with alfalfa hay, corn nil ago and grain, havo boon determined by tho Union branch station ovor periods of, many years with nvorace (teen.
