LABOR PROBLEM DISCUSSED
Dor G. Magruder of U. S. Agriculture
Department Talks on Hired Heip.
Don G. Magruder, who is employed
by the United States Department of
Agriculture and who is doing Inves
tigation work among Missouri tam
ers, cave a talk on "System and Prin
ciples of Farm Management" Mr.
Magruder told of a few prnclpies
which have meant success to some
of the best farmers in the state. It is
his belief that labor is the greatest
problem that the farmer has to con
front and that there will always be
plenty of efficient laborers if they are
treated in the right way.
"Men who have sons to work for
them are fortunate," Mr. Magruder
said, "but men who have not sons
should furnish their hired men with
work the year around. Men that are
given steady employment are, as a
rule, more efficient than those that are
just picked up whenever extra help
is needed. Most farmers are trying
to cut down their help when they
should hire more and keep them em
ployed at profitable labor. Ability to
manage laborers profitably determines
to a great extent your ability to make
money on the farm.
"Hired men are and should be treat
ed as your equal. Try to let them do
the work which they like best as far
as possible. The three kinds of men
that can be employed with profit and
satisfaction are young men who want
to learn the business or farming, mid
dle-aged married men who want work
the year around and old men who arc
experienced and carerul and may be
employed cheaper than other labor."

DRY-PICKED CHICKENS BEST
Instructor Denwastrateg Modem Meth
od of KUIIag- and Dresslig;
It is easy to dry-pick a chicken if
you know how. Modern methods dem
onstrated by R. V. Mitchell, assistant
in poultry husbandry, to the visiting
farmers, does away with old methods
of wringing the neck and scalding to
remove the feathers.
To dry pick poultry it is necessary
to bleed the bird through the mouth
and paralyze the brain. A narrow-
bladed knife is inserted In the bird's
mouth and the veins in the neck are
severed. The knife is then thrust in
to the bird's brain. This paralyzes
the muscles which hold the feathers,
thus enabling the removing of the
feathers quickly and without aid of
water.
The general practice of scalding
birds, the speaker said, is one of the
reasons why so much poultry of poor
quality is found on the markets. The
skin of the birds absorbs much of the
filthy water in which they are scalded.
Dealers who scald a great many birds
usually do not change the scalding
water, and by the time several hun
dred birds are scalded the water be
comes very filthy.
brand is known it will command a bet
ter price. Business In communities is
more stable and money on the orch
ard 'can be obtained more easily."
A complete description of the sub
ject is made in Buletln No. 44 of the
Missouri State Board of Horticulture.

On each plate is a card, giving the

EXPLAINS CAUSE OF BAD FLUES
Agricultural Engineering Instructor
Sajs Poor Foundations Are Reason.
M. A. R. Kelley, instructor in agri
cultural engineering, talking to the
farmers on the building of farm houses
emphasized the, fact that chimneys
which were not built on a solid founda
tion would settle crooked. This, ue
said, was the reason for many of the
fires that originated in the proverbial
"defective flue." He gave this as the
cause of the Kappa Alpha house being
destroyed.
Mr. Kelley said that the tendency to
place ornamental work on the houses
was becoming less. The style of
architecture for present-day homes
was represented by the simple and
plain buildings.
That not enough attention was paid
to the quality of paint used on build
ings, and that every house should be
equipped with a large, wide porch,
were other facts brought out in the
talk.
WHERE WAGES EXCEED PROFITS
B. II. Hesse Cites Reasons For Farm
ers' Small BetHran.
"A series of records kept on 153
Ohio farms shows that j6 per cent of
tne larmers made less money tlian
their hired men," said R. S. Besse, in
a talk to the farmers in the auditorium
of the Agricultural Building. Mr.
Besse is specializing in farm manage
ment in the College of Agriculture.
Some of these farmers were even los
ing as much as $300 a year on their
farms. The same conditions obtain if.
Missouri, according to Mr. Besse.
"it is tne farm adviser s business TJ
turn these losses into gain and to
help the farmers put their farms on a
paying basis. Farmers should cooper
ate with the adviser in building and
conserving the resources of their
farms.
"The problems before a farm ad
viser cannot be enumerated. He can
not have too much training and exper
ience. An adviser must know his
county to solve its problems. Thorough
knowledge of local conditions is as
important as scientific training."
BEST APPLES ORIGINATED HERE
Prof. J. C. Whlttea la Lecture to Farm
ers, Tells Waat Fruit to Grow.
Fifty yean ago there was not a sin
gle apple recommended in Missouri
that was of Missouri origin, according
to J. C. Whitten, professor of horticul
ture, in his. lecture to the farmers in
the Horticultural Building.
"All of the apples recommended
were of European or Atlantic Coast or
igin. Of the varieties grown then, the
Geniton Is the only one that we raise
to any extent now. The apples we are
growing now originated In Missouri or
nearby states. Examples are: Ben
Davis, Gano, Jonathan, Ingram, Arkan
sas, Wlnesap, Delicious, King David
and -Grimes.
"Some of the principal things to be
considered in picking a variety of ap
ples for planting are type of land, late
spring frosts, sunlight and intense
summer heat All these things may
vary In one orchard. Some of the
trees need the apnny south Blope,
while others want the north slope
where they will be protected from di
rect sunlight The Ingram apple will
not do well on thin land on top of a
hill. It thrives best in the rich soil
at the base of the north slope where
It will be protected from direct sun
light
"In choosing a variety of apples to
grow, the local conditions and the
market must be considered. If one
wants an apple to ship long distances,
the Ben Davis, because of its keeping
qualities, is good. For local trade, the
Jonathan or Grimes is worth more.
Last year in an orchard at McBalne
the Ben Davis brought 75 cents a bar
rel on the tree while the Jonathan
and Grimes brought S1.50 a barrel.
