Yield Contest ~
The Agricultural department of the
The prizes
and rules will be very much the same as in the previous contests. One
scholarship, valued at $18.00, is given to the person growing the largest amount
of corn to one acre in each county. Cash prizes for the highest yields in the
district are offered by the Cape Girardeau Commercial Club.
Circular letters are sent out to the
contestants as the season progresses, suggesting things that will increase
yields. All that is required of the contestant is that he keeps an accurate
record of all the work he does on his acre of corn. On enrolling a blank is
sent to each contestant, on which he keeps his record.
In awarding the prizes we do not consider
the cost of producing the corn nor do we require any written essays. The yield
is the only thing that is considered. No enrollments are received after April
1. The plot of ground used may be an acre by itself, or it may be a part of a
large field. The plot must be regular in shape and be a full acre.
As long as the supply lasts, we will be
glad to send a tabulated statement showing how the winners of the 1916 contest
grew their corn.
Enroll now!
You may win some of the cash prizes. Whether you win or not, you are going to
learn, more about corn growing. How big a yield could you if you made the
conditions ideal on a small plot of ground?
Would it
not pay to duplicate on a large field the methods used by the winners to get
their high yields in 1916?

Junketing
Committee Inspects Work of State Institution to Form Report
Judicious

authorities,
the smooth working organization of the schools forces, and the wide and healthy
influence of the school in the state were the impressions given by the
junketing committee of the forty-ninth General Assembly, headed by Senator G.
M. BUFORD, chairman, which recently visited the University of Missouri. The
other members of the committee were Representatives P. H. BARRIS of Vronn, and
Representative W. L. SHOUSE of Shelbina.
“You may
rest assured that the University will get an adequate appropriation and that
all of the needs set forth will be taken care of in so far as possible,”
Senator BUFORD said after the trip of inspection. “The University is sending
the right kind of men and women into the state and deserves the right kind of
support.”
~ Will
Recognize Practical Work On Missouri Farms ~
Putting
into practice the ideas they have learned during winter short course in the
College of Agriculture of the University of Missouri will give the short course
students additional credit in the college according to a new plan adopted by
the faculty of the College of Agriculture. The idea is to make the home farms
laboratories of the College of Agriculture where the theories taught may be
tried in actual practice. Seed growing, the use of pure bred sires, the records
of dairy cows and spraying of fruit trees are among the subjects in which the
additional credit will be given.
~ New Bank
Organized By De Soto People ~
Capital
Stock of $25,000 Fully Paid Up. A. O.
WHITE of Kimmswick will be the Cashier.
The newly
organized Farmer’s and Citizens’ State Bank of De Soto with a capital of
$25,000 fully paid up, was reported in last week’s issue. As all of the capital
stock has been sold, and there are still a large number of people very anxious
to secure an interest in the bank, the directors are considering the matter of
recommending a vote to increase the capital stock.
The
character of a bank and its future depend almost entirely upon the character of
the men who compose its directorate, and its body of stockholders. The Board of
directors of the new Farmers and Citizens State Bank are men so well know in
this community that their names alone are sufficient introduction for the new
institution. They are:
Dr. R. E.
DONNELL, Mr. Lucas DUFFNER, D. A. MALLICOAT, J. L. MOTHERSHEAD, J. E. WILLIAMS,
A. O. WHITE, and Mr. George V. WELCH.
Arrangements
are being made to provide the bank with the very latest and best safe, deposit
boxes, office fixtures and equipment of every character and the matter of a
location has been carefully canvassed, in order that the needs of the community
may be fully served.
It is
expected that the new bank will open its doors about March 1st.
~ Some laws
favored by Missouri Farmers ~
The
Missouri State Board of Agriculture recently asked its crop correspondents to
express their views as to needed Legislation. The replies show the greatest
demand for changes in the present road laws. Ninety farmers place this subject
first. Second in order is the request for a pure seed law, 64 correspondents
answering to this effect. Sixty mention the need of a dog law. Thirty-nine are
of the opinion that the school laws, especially those relating to rural
schools, should be amended. That there is need for some system of farm credits
under state control is the opinion of thirty-three. Better protection for the
quail, or “Bob White,” is asked by 32 farmers, many of whom suggest a closed
season of from three to ten years. Another suggestion on this subject is to
limit the number of birds that may be killed by any one hunter during the open
season. Next in order of suggestions for farm legislations come some provisions
for farm organization, a bureau of marketing, support of the county agent law,
pure feed law, and a stallion law. Other suggestions mentioned are better
fertilizer inspection regulations, changes in revenue laws, a law making plain
what constitutes a legal fence, a law requiring hedges
to be cut
and all obstructions at turns or intersections of roads to be removed.
~ Pretty
Church Wedding ~
Miss Anna,
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred PAUL of Seckman and Casper SCHAFER of Rock
Creek were happily united in marriage at the Glaze Creek church January 14 at
2:00 o’clock. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Hugo FRIEDRICH. The bride’s
sister acted as bridesmaid and the groom’s brother as groomsman. The bride wore
a beautiful gown of white silk draped with lace. She carried a bouquet of white
carnations. The bridesmaid wore a gown of white net and carried a bouquet of
pink carnations.
Norma and
Leona YEAGER of St. Louis played the bridal march.
After the
ceremony a circle of relatives and friends gathered at the home of the brides
parents to partake of the wedding dinner and the evening was spent with music
and dancing. From St. Louis were present, Mrs. S. BERNER, grandmother of the
bride, Jos. A. YERGER, Miss Bertha SCHAEFER, Miss Minnie SCHAEFER, Frank
SCHAEFER, Frank SPINNER, Charles DISHINGER.
The happy
couple will live on a farm near Seckman.

Comment and Editorial ~
That
Florissant clerk who captured three burglars with a flash light ought to be
removed to St. Louis and made Chief of Police.
The “Base
Ball” season will soon be here. This year it is to be ushered in with a strike
impending. We hope nothing interferes with a fair start as it will be quite a
relief from politics and war’s alarms.
Decatur,
Perry, Lawrence, Brainbridge, Paul JONES and many others are names dear to the
hearts of Americana, because they raided the high seas and brought many British
ships into port, captives to American supremacy as fighters and as sailors. We
wonder if after the war is over if the Germanic Captains and Lieutenants who
commanded the present raiders will not also be enshrined in the hearts of the
Teutonic people. It seems quite probable.
The docket
of the Probate Court appearance this week. Judge MILLER wants those docketed to
understand that they are expected to be on hand on the day set or during the
week. Under the law, if executor, administrator, guardians or curator fails to
appear for settlement on the day they are docketed, the settlement is to be
continued for ten days and unless the parties appear and make settlement
citations are required by the law to be issued. Judge MILLER intends to comply
with the law, so you had better be on hand or notify him why you can’t come.
In another
column we are giving excerpts from President WILSON’s address to Congress,
relative to world peace. It is bold and incisive. It may give offense and then
again it may result in final peace.
Whatever
the result may be, it is in accord with the sentiment of the American people
and is in direct line with the policy urged on the country, and the warring
nations by Ex President TAFT and his Peace League. Let us hope that good will
come and if it does, let us not be chary in giving WILSON credit for the
courage necessary to formulate
and propose.
Missouri
Senators have five clerks and one stenographer. A good many of them employ
their wives as clerks at $3.50 per day or some other relative. This is taking
care of the public money with a vengeance. A Senator has about as much use for
five clerks and a stenographer as a dog has for five additional tails. Thirty
competent clerks would be worth more than the whole bunch employed. What
difference does the cost amount to among friends! This seems to be the idea,
but the people pay. How long are they going to stand for this sort of thing?
Everybody
gets a raise in wages or a bonus these days except the printer, the doctor, the
lawyer and preacher. These are expected to trot along at the same old gait,
attend the sick, write the wills, attend the funerals, write the obituaries and
to look after the window and orphans and to do so for the same old price or for
nothing, according to the exigencies of the case. The laborer is worthy of his
hire and in the new adjustment of values your preacher, your doctor and your
lawyer, and last but not least, your favorite newspaper ought not to be
criticized if they are under the inexorable law of necessity compelled to
charge somewhat near the true value of their services and expenses.
Conspicuous
for their good looks and charm, among the people who attend Governor GARDNER’s
inauguration of Jefferson City, Jan 8, were a groupof St. Louis suffragists who
wore yellow badges and were greeted with the greatest courtesy and
consideration everywhere. They were given seats next the inaugural platform,
and were invited to an informal reception at the mansion immediately after the
Colonels on the Governor’s staff were presented with their swords, as well as
to the ball in the evening. They were driven in motors through the surrounding
beautiful country, and were shown the prison.
One
prominent mail anti-suffragist was heard to remark: “Well, if such attractive
and intelligent women as these are espousing the cause of suffrage, cause it is
time for me to change my views on the subject.”
Miss L. C.
TRAX, suffrage organizer went out the National American Suffrage Association
from New York, is now in Jefferson City. Miss TRAX is working with Mrs. HARSCH
of Columbia, Suffrage Chairman of the Eighth Congressional District, and their
aim is to show Congressman SHACKLEFORD through his constituents that it is
important for him to support the Federal Suffrage Amendment at Washington.
Miss TRAX
spent two days in Mexico, Mo. doing suffrage organization work, and will be
active in the Eighth District all of next week.

~ Farm
Names in Missouri ~
Missouri
was the first state in the Union to enact a farm name
registration
law. The Missouri Sate Board of Agriculture has just issued a bulletin, “Farm
Names”, the author being W. L. NELSON, Assistant Secretary of the Board who was
also the author of the farm name bill referred to. This bulletin, in addition
to giving the names of 1,000 Missouri farms, tells how many of these names
originated and offers suggestions for the naming of farm homes. The origin of
the names of famous places in other states is also given. Many Missourians and
others have contributed to this bulletin, thus making it of unusual value. In a
list of 1,000 Missouri farm names “view” is used 88 times, as in “Fairview” or
“Lakeview.” Other popular basic words are “valley”, used 38 imes; “Maple” 34;
“oak” 24; “dale” 28; “walnut” 23, “side” 22; Then there is found frequent use of
“hurst,”; Old English for thicket or grove, as in “Hickoryhurst” ; “foyle” a
leaf as in “Glenfoyle” meaning a leafy glen. This bulletin on farm names is
free to
Missourians.
~
Advertising the Farm Name ~
The
Missouri State Board of Agriculture, in a new bulletin on Farm Names, has the
following to say as to advertising the farm name and its products;
“Once an
appropriate farm name has been chosen, there is need of good taste,
discriminating judgment and wisdom in its use. Even when the name is used a trade
mark; used commercially, it should not be in a fashion to offend the best of
taste. The name should be used for identification rather than as an
advertisement. A carefully lettered sign
on the front gate, the R. F. D. mail box, or on a small board made for the
purpose is to be recommended. Letter paper and
envelopes
should always bear the farm name. The farmer who neglects to use printed
stationary is missing a great opportunity to advertise his business. In this
day and age no farmer can afford to conduct his correspondence on blank
stationary or worse still, on cheap, shoddy stuff containing the advertisement
of some city concern.
A small
halftone illustration showing the farm home, the entrance where the name is
displayed, or even some of the leading products of the farm, may be used as a
trademark and also on stationery. It matters not which is preferred, the
material should if possible, be secured through some local firm, preferably the
newspaper, which can and should be of
farm and
its products. It is worth much to have the newspaper make liberal use of the
farm name, even in its news columns. The local printing office is not always
prepared to turn out embossing or perhaps certain halftone work, but can always
secure the desired article without increased cost over that the customer would
be compelled to pay elsewhere.”
This
Bulletin, of which W. L. NELSON, Assistant Secretary is the author is free to
Missourians.

The open
winter has been an advantage to the poultry business, eggs being plentiful and
forty cents a dozen, here and higher elsewhere. A Rock Township poultry man
told us last week of getting more than 1,000 eggs a week. He has a machine and
delivers them to private customers in the city at 42 cents per dozen. The
Jefferson County hen, like
the
Jefferson County cow, is a real source of revenue.
W. A.
BERGMEYER, a son of Esq. E. BERGMEYER of Antonia, arrived in the County January
9th for a visit to his parents and the scenes of his childhood. Mr. BERGMEYER
is associated with Mr. Andrew KOHLER of Great Bend, Kansas and expects to
remain in the county until February 1st. He was a recent visitor of the county
seat and while here called on the Record for which he has been a subscriber of
long standing.
Charles
VIEHLAND and Louis VIEHLAND of Oerman were in the county seat paying taxes
yesterday. The former has lately returned from St. Louis where he had his eye
removed. Sometime in the fall, while riding home in the dusk, a low hanging
branch pierced the eye which had been blind for about eight years. His
suffering necessitated its removal, and although he is still compelled to wear
a bandage, the healing progresses satisfactorily.
Robert A.
HOLEKAMP whose farm home is “Sorgenfrei” two miles north of Hillsboro has an
important letter before the farmers and dairymen of Jefferson County which
appears elsewhere in the Record columns. He is a very practical man, is
thrifty, energetic, wide awake and anxious to be of benefit to his neighbors
and the county farmers. His article should be read by all the farmers and the
business men of the county. Mr. HOLEKAMP is not the only wide awake farmer who
has expressed a lively interest in “Farm Agent for Jefferson County” to the
Record and urged us to push the matter. Let us hear from others at once.

F. J.
ADAMS, Real Estate, Hillsboro, Mo.
~ Missouri
Farms Need Lime ~
The use of ground limestone of some form
of lime to sweeten sour soil will soon become regular farm practice in many
parts of Missouri. The reasons for this practice were given by R. A. KINNAIRD
of the College of Agriculture in a recent lecture during Farmer’s Week at the
University. Soils which were originally poorly supplied with lime and even
limestone soils have lost so much of the lime which they formerly contained
that crops suffer from soil acidity. The continuous leaching to which soils in
the humid regions are subjected and which is greatly increased by cultivation
is largely responsible for this loss of lime.
The greatest soil acidity, therefore, is in
those soils which were originally poorly supplied with lime and especially in
regions where the land has been cultivated a long time with little attention to
soil fertility.
Practically all of the soils of the prairie
region of northwest
Missouri
are quite sour. In the northwestern part of the state there is
much less
acidity. In the Ozark region soils
derived from limestone
have been
leached until they have become very acid. There are also soils in the Missouri
and Mississippi River bottoms that are sour.
Not all crops are injured by an acid soil,
but unfortunately most important cereals and forage crops, especially clovers
and alfalfa, cannot be grown successfully on a very acid soil. Acidity is
indicated by the failure of these crops and by luxuriant growth of red sorrel,
Canada blue grass and water grass.
To sweeten an acid soil, a sufficient
amount of finely ground limestone or slacked lime must be scattered evenly over
the plowed ground and worked into the top soil. Ground limestone is usually the
cheapest and most satisfactory in general, though it takes effect more slowly
than quick lime, slacked lime or hydrated lime, and a larger quantity must be
applied to get the same results. The screenings from the ordinary rock crusher
can be used. Coarser material has little immediate effect on the soil, but if a
much larger quantity of the course material is used it will keep the soil sweet
for a longer time. Screenings can be obtained at from one dollar and twenty
five cents to one dollar per ton. In some cases where hauling from the railroad
is expensive and where limestone is accessible, small grinders can be used to
grind the limestone on the farm.
Persons interested in the use of limestone
on acid soils should write to the College of Agriculture, Columbia, Missouri,
for more detailed information.
~ Bees Help
Fruit Growers ~
Did you have a full apple crop last year?
Failure of some varieties of apples may be due to lack of pollination. T. J.
TULBERT, of the College of Agriculture, told farmers’ week visitors at the
University of Missouri recently how bees helped to make fruit crops.Many
varieties of apples like Arkansas Blacks, Jonathan and York Imperial are self
sterile and cross pollination is absolutely essential if a set of fruit is
obtained. Other varieties like Ben Davis, Yellow Transparent and Willow Twig
are only partly self fertile and again cross-pollination is necessary.
The numerous white snowy flower clusters
act as a guide to the insects and may attract them far away. When a bee alights
on a flower its hairy body may be covered with pollen from another variety of
apple. As the bee works its way down to the bottom of the flower to get the
nectar it rubs its dusty body against the stigma or female organ of the flower
and cross pollination is accomplished.
It is a well known fact among the best
fruit growers that the weather conditions during fruit bloom has much to do
with the setting of fruit. If the weather is clear and warm at the blooming
time the bees are active and cross pollination process rapidly, while if the
weather conditions are wet cloudy and cold the insects are not active and
usually a poor set of fruit is assured. Strong cold winds may often prevent the
bees from cross-pollinating one side of the apple trees and this may account
for the set of fruit on one side of the tree.
Actual counts and observations at blooming
time have shown that the honey bee is decidedly the most important insect in
the work of pollinating the fruit flowers. Many counts have shown that from seventy
five to ninety per cent of the insects pollinating the blossoms were honey
bees.
The wind cannot be relied upon as an
agency to transfer pollen from apple tree to apple tree through out the
orchard. This work must be accomplished by insects, and the honey bee is by
odds the most important of them all.
Bees will pay for their keep in honey,
aside from their services in fruit production.

The Best
Laxative
To keep the
bowels regular the best laxative is outdoor exercise. Drink a full glass of
water half an hour before breakfast and eat an abundance of fruit and
vegetables also establish a regular habit and be sure your bowels move once
each day. When medicine is needed, take CHAMBORLAIN’S tablets. They are
pleasant to take and mild and gentle in effect. Obtainable everywhere.
