oiiall place of seven acres. This year 
W e rented an adjoining farm of 1(>0 acres. 
Two oldest, boys work it and are doing 
well. My neighbors are discouraged 
about farming. Fertilizer was so high;

other mixed fertilizer $4N per ton ; bran

much lower in price. Wheat was a fail¬ 
ure this year in Washington County, but 
the oats were fine, and tin- corn except in 
low lands was not killed Oct. 1(5. Mostly 
mature. The electrical workers in Pitts¬ 
burg make $lb in eight hours, overtime 
double or $2.50 an hour. The farmer 
would do all right if he worked eight, hut 
bv working overtime he makes an over 
supply and gives it away. Let the 
farmer have an association, give bond he 
will stick, and then lie can sell for a fair 
profit for hie labor. .r. K. B.

Wheat, $2 to $2.10 per bu 
little offered by the farmers, 
great deal was sold early from machine. 
Potatoes, $1 per bu. at railroad for very 
host. Corn can hardly he sold to local 
dealers; many dealers have corn to ship 
but can get no quotations on carload 
lots. One of my neighbors lias offered 
00 rn for $1.00 per bu. The wheat was 
destroyed badly by tin- fly ; my own crop 
made a yield of 12 V 2 bu. per acre; when 
we had no fly had a yield of 25 to 35 bu. 
The wheat, is about all sown now, hut 
the weather is almost too warm: had 
weather for the fly. Potato and corn 
crops are very good; yield of potatoes 
from 150 to 250 bu per acre. Our peo¬ 
ple are in the dairy busines here, and 
are very much discouraged at present. 
Wholesale price for milk has come down 
as much as 4:1c per hundred. Feed lias 
come down some, hut. many of the dealers 
have stocked up early at high prices, so 
the farmers will not get much good of 
lower prices until he has sold this early 
bought, feed. Good cows are still selling 
from $150 to $200, and are very hard 
to get. As to a general idea of business 
outlook for farmers, our very best help 
lias left the farm and much of the help 
we have is here because the men are no 
good any place else; we take them be¬ 
cause we ' must have some one. The 
farmer must do too much of the work 
himself; it leaves no time to look after 
bis business. On my own farm the last 
four years I have done all the work in 
lield that was done by hired help by the 
use of a tractor. The result of this 
means that very little repairing, such as 
building fences, and many other things 
that a farmer must look after himself, 
wore not done. Lime and fertilizer were 
not used as before, fence rows were not 
cleaned, cover crops were not. sown, due 
t<i the lack of help, higlt price of seeds 
and lumber, stone and cement. Many 
nf our best farmers are selling their 
farms at high prices, ami their places 
often are being farmed by men who have 
never farmed here; there will be a 
lack of production. Many farmers have 
made money in the last few years, but 
1 am afraid they made it at the expense 
nf their farms and oftentimes very long 
hours for wife and children, .t. 7 .. I..

Amazing Butterfat Yields 
Due to Curved - Disc Skimming 
Two Iowa 
Curved Discs. 
(/) Quick curve- 
in and wide 
spacing at top. 
Also (2) Steep 
curve, narrow 
spacing at bot¬ 
tom. 
Our scientific experts 
know, and Babcock 
tests prove, that the 
ordinary separator 
absolutely wastes 2 5 % 
of the valuable butter- 
fat when skimming cold milk. Also exces¬ 
sive amounts at most favorable temper¬ 
atures. They know that 90% of this 
waste is caused by two thieves hidden in 
the ordinary straight discs. 
Thief No. 1—is the narrow, skimpy 
spacing between the discs at the top. 
This prevents easy outflow of the cream. 
Complete clogging often results when 
the milk is cold, and the cream thick and 
sluggish. Thief No. 2—is the low angle 
of the discs at the bottom. This fails 
to give the extra separating action so 
necessary for extremely close skimming. 
To foil these two thieves our engineers 
designed a scientific Curved Disc with a 
quick “curve-in” at the top and a “steep 
curve” at the bottom. The quick “curve- 
in” at the top permits extra spacing and 
a larger outlet for the thick, sluggish 
cream. The “steep curve” at the bottom 
multiplies skimming action at this point, 
and positively extracts the last and smallest 
butterfat globules. With this Curved 
design even cold milk can be skimmed 
within 1-300 of 1% perfect. 
The amazing result of Iowa Curved- 
Disc skimming is now known everywhere.
