have gone over from American to
Egyptian cotton are reported to have
found the change quiet unsatisfactory.
They have not had *ny experience

commensurate with the cost of raw
material. Spinners also complain of

More than two hundred bales of new
cotton have been marketed In Bren-
ham this season, and receipts are heav-
ier each day. Within a few days gins
will be running full time. Because of
drouth, cotton flea and other pests,
the crop will probably be 12,000 less
than last year in the county. The crop
tor 1923 in Washington County was
about 36,000 bales, and local cotton
men estimate the crop for 1924 will
*ot exceed 24,000 bales.
The total payments for expenses, in-
'terest and outlays for the city of
Beaumont for the year ending June
30, 1923, amounted to $36.41 per cap-
ita. against a per capita cost for the
previous year of $37.76. The total
amount for the year was $1,670,875. of
which $800,394 was for general de-
partments of the city government,
$170,415 for public service enterprises,
such as water works, markets, etc.;
$167,673 for interest and $532,420 for
outlays and improvements.

last year, according to estimates gi**t>

state the yield to the acre will be much
heavier, reports indicate, in some io
callties as much as a bale to the dare.

Lambs Properly Docked
and Trimmed Are Best
The pActice of selling ram lambs,
and lambs that have not been docked,
would seem to be one of those cus-
toms that arc common In other lines
of business—they are the results of
ignorance or carelessness. It belongs
to the same custom of putting good
feed Into scrub animals; in wasting
j manure; In burning straw stacks; In
leaving high-priced farm machinery
out In the weather; etc., etc.
From all the evidence we can
gather, the practice of ttlmniin* and
docking lambs seems to be pretty
well established as a money-making
proposition, sn.vs the Fanner and
Breeder. Prices of sheep and lambs
averaged 75 per cent higher In 1923
than In 1913. Active consumer de-
mand exists for-choice quality lamb.
The problem of supplying this quality
will be solved If buck lambs are made
Into wethers and all lambs are docked,
properly finishrtl and marketed at the
right ages and weights. These oper-
ations should ho performed when
lambs are eight to fifteen days old.
.There is abundant proof that they
are profitable for the Individual sheep
producer. Trimmed lambs command
higher prices and return larger profits.
Conclusive evidence of this Is fur-
nished by the extension division of
the college of agriculture of the Uni-
versity of Kentucky, which obtained
records of 31,000 lambs marketed last
t year. This data shows that wether
lahibs returned more than $2 per hun-
dred above the price paid for buck
Lightning Safe Fences
If fence posts are of wood or cement,
to safeguard stock from lightnln-'
either put In a steel fence post evvrr
few rods or staple heavy fence wire
the entire length o$ post in contact
with the fenro wire* so as to ground
them. Then, if lightning strikes the
fence, or a tree near tile fence, the
death dealing bolt will not follow fur
ah>nr the fence and kill stock that
may have pushed against It in a storm
Of course. If the post* are of steel
they ground the wires j>erfectly. Wire
fences fastened to building* should be
grounded at the last jwmt or two and
George B. TSrrin, who was nom-
inated ;n the July primary for re-
election as Commissioner of Agri-
culture, in a statement issued re-

ment of Agriculture" This was the

1 • “ - * — . When the oil
' is renmveti, tiie residue, soy-bean oil-
J meal, remains.
In anticipation of the demand for
| information the Iowa experiment sta-
tion recently closed a series of tests
with tills new feed. Previous experi-
ments have shown that soy-bean oil-
j meal is lucking in mineral matter. It
runs aliout 43 per cent protein and
ranks with linseed oiliueal or cotton-
seed meal as a balancer. The de-
flqjamcy of minerals wah supplied by n
mixture composed of common salt. 20
pounds; spent boneblack, 40 pounds;
or ground bonemeal, steamed hone-
men 1 rock pttospbate or acid phos-
phate; and finely ground, hlgh-calclutn
limestone, 40 pounds; or air-slaked
lime, wood ashes or fine-ground clam
or oyster shell,
potassium Iodide was added to each
100 pounds of the mixture, which was
kept before the pigs at nil times in a
self-feeder.
There were s'.x lots of ten pigs ea“h,
averaging about 70 pounds at the start,
that we are interested in. One lot
received shelled corn. (50 per cent tank-
age nnd minerals, all self-fed on rape
pasture. A second lot was fed shelled
corn, soy-bean ollmeal and minerals on
rape pasture while tfce third lot, also
on rape pasture, received shelled corn,
minerals and a protein mixture com-
posed of tankage, 25 per cent, ami
aoy-bean ollmeal, 75 per cent. Three
other lots were fed the same as the
three preceding one* but were kept In
dry lots.
The best gains on rape were made
by the lot self-fed shelled corn, soy-
bean ollmeal and meat-meal tankage.
It also showed a lower feed require-
ment for 100 pounds gi in.
In the dry lot groups the best gain
was made on a ration of shelled corn
and tankage and the pigs required less
feed for 100 pounds of gain.
“From the results of this experiment
It appears that soy-bean oilmeal may
have economic advantage when used
to replace a part or all of the meat-
meal tankage.” say* John M. Evvard,
the man In charge of the work, “rela-
tive price determining the procedure
of course."

gineers will launch a new, large and
