Present estimates place the total
amount of dressed meat to be produc
ed in the U. S. in 1944 at 25,000,000,
000 pounds, about 800,000,000 pounds
more than the 1943 output. Beef and
veal production has been considerably
higher this year but 1944 pork pro
duction may be lower due to light
weight of hogs sold this year.
Carryover stocks of most legume
seed are much below’ average amounts
held in the U. S. in previous years.
Only one-fourth as much red clover,
one-half the alfalfa, and one-third the
alsike and sweet clover seed usually in
stocks is now’ held. An increase in
seed harvested in 1944 will be requir
ed to meet demands in 1945. Ohio
is an important producer of red clover
seed.

Home-Made Tractor for $31.65
ar shortages were only a challenge to Farmer George W.
Relph, w’ho built this home-made tractor with the rear end
from a junked 1928 truck and a motor from a 1919 automo
bile. The tractor, parts for which cost S31.65, has six speeds
forward and two reverse, and can do practically any farm
operation a factory-made tractor can do. It operates on a
gallon of gasoline per acre. Relph’s 12-year-old son, Keith,
drove the tractor this spring for most of the plowing and cul
