Cecil Alter, weather man of Salt Lake City. The rains have been beneficial, but higher meicury leadings will heighten the good work of the elements, Metf ologist Alter savs. Heaviest rams were reported from the section east of the Wasatch range, but welcome rainfall also was received in all sections. Cold, wet weather has been responsible for suffering and loss of lambs in a few localities, while grain, beets and fruit are prospering nearly everywhere. Spring grain at Newton has suffered somewhat from iwindy weather, however, it is reported, and range sheep shearing is in progress at Manti and Richfield. Unsettled weather and slight showers prevailed in Salt Lake and elsewhere Wednesday, but a cessation of such weather is expected shortly, Mr. Alter said.

This grain had a sales value of approximately and was handled for approxifarmers in the five im840,000. mately areas of the portant United States. The 3,331 associations operating the elevators reported paid-u- p capital to the amount of $57,000,000 and surplus of nearly $25,000,000. The total investments in buildings and equipment amounted to nearly $60,000,000. The associations have about 420.000 stockholders, most of whom are farmers. Many of the associations buy farm supplies for their patrons, this business in side lines totaling nearly $170,000,000 last year. The reports show that during the 1926-2season about 61 per cent of the associations paid dividends on capital stock. In addition, about 28 per cent of those reporting paid out patronage refunds to their patrons. Considering these facts and also the fact that S3 per cent of these farmers elevators had financial surpluses, while but 17 per cent reported deficits, there is justification for the statement that fanners elevators as a whole are in satisfactory financial condition at the present time. $460,-000,00- grain-producin- Editor George H.

This general advice to livp ck growers is emphasized particu. in reto the heifer gard it has dairy reached the age nf six months, in Raising the Dairy Heifer, just published by the United States Department of Agriculture as Leaflet No. 14-Since the heifer does not yield an income until she has freshened, the department advises that she be fed liberally in order that she may develop rapidly and be bred for freshening at the normal age for the breed. The leaflet gives suggestions for summer and winter feeding, for pasturing and for supplemental rations of legume luiy. silage and grain under various conditions of dairy farming. It also gives the proportions desirable in mixed-graifeeds for calves, suggests the proper summer and winter quarters, and advises as to the proper age for breeding. In conclusion it mentions the desirability of handling the young heifer occasionally and teaching her to lead so that she is not likely to be shy and fearsome when she enters the dairy herd. It Is wise to accustom her to the halter and stanchion. A little care at this time often prevents considerable trouble after calving and usually tends to make the cow gentle and tractable.
