Live Stock Values Show Heavy Cuts ASKS THE REASON Inventory Figures Reveal Loss to Fanners. Service Plate Worries This Old Timer. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) WNU Service. Inventory values of live stock on farms have been marked down nearly three billions of dollars in the last two years, says the bureau of agricultural economics, United States Department of Agriculture, in its February report on the agricultural situation. Total flocks and herds Increased 2 per cent in the last year, but the total value of live stock dropped $4,450,000,-00- 0 on January 1, 1931, to $3,196,000,-00- 0 on January 1, 1932, according to I go about so little, and am so generally unsophisticated, that my the bureau. Thus, producers again saw a billion and a quarter dollars wiped from the inventory value of their animals, in a years time, and due wholly to price decline, says the bureau. Horses and mules were the only class of farm animals that did not increase In numbers last year. The average farm value of a horse is now only $53. There was an increase of 2.4 per cent in the number of cattle, thus continuing the upward trend in production of beef cattle which has continued since 1928. Dairy cows increased approximately 800,000 head in the year, but the number of young dairy heifers decreased. The average dairy animal is now valued at $40 compared with $57 a year ago. There were 5,000,000 more hogs on farms January 1 as compared with a year ago. Hogs in the corn belt inThe average hog creased 3,000,000. brought $6.14 on January 1, this year, compared with $11.36 a year ago. Sheep have been Increasing in number for ten years, an Increase of 1,000,000 head being reported for last year. The average value of sheep and lambs on January 1, was $3.40 a head. Bounteous Farm Crops Go to Feed Live Stock That live stock feeding is being depended upon this winter to a greater extent than in any recent year for the profitable disposal of bounteous farm crops is indicated by the Increasing number of feeder stock purchased cooperatively by Ohio farmers. Figures compiled by the Ohio Live Stock Cooperative association show that up to December 1 a total of over 31,000 head of feeder cattle, lambs and pigs had been delivered to farmers in the state feeder through the two auctions at East Toledo and Columbus together with carload lots through the county associations. This total included 18,875 cattle and calves, 10,559 Iambs and 1,921 pigs, which compares with the 5,260 cattle, 648 pigs and 2,400 lambs purchased during the drouth year of 1930 and the 11,721 cattle, 347 pigs and 11,345 Iambi handled during the previous record year of 1929. Approximately 60 per cent of the cattle and lambs purchased this year were financed through the organization. Ohio Use Care in Culling When winter production has been low, some farm flock owners decide that a culling demonstration will be about the right thing to improve the egg returns and cut down the feed bill. But just now is not a very desirable time for culling. Many of the hens which have been fed most of the winter are about ready to return at least a part of their feed bill. A flock of poor laying ability may represent a chance for some salvage in spring egg money, although such hens should not be used as breeding stock to multiply birds of their type. Of course, there may be some hens which are better culled out at any season. They include hens heavy with fat and the beef type birds which barely pay their board in the spring and never pay it in other seasons. Hens that have been held three or four years are seldom profitable and such hens may be found in some farm flocks. Indiana Farmers Guide. Agricultural Squibs Few woodlots are so run down that improvement operations are not practicable. Value of live stock on Nevadas farms and ranges declined more than $7,000,000 during 1931, according to the estimate of the Salt Lake City office of the bureau of agriculture. Reports from farmers who grow the major portion of the commercial potato crop in the United States indicate that the acreage this year will be about 2 per cent below last year.

I think that I have compassed the where and when of them, but I am still extremely foggy about the wrhy. Of practical utility, I have not been able to discover the slightest trace. The argument that the diner should not sit at table with nothing before him strikes me as fallacious, for nothing could possibly be emptier than a service plate. On the other hand, beauty, as we all know, is its own excuse for being, and many of the service plates have as high claims to beauty as anything that can be displayed on the prandial board. Whether beauty is appetizing depends, I suppose, on the temperaDoubtless it ment of the diner. makes some people hungry to start their dinner by gazing at an exquisite example of the ceramic art, but with most of us I am afraid that it is not a wholly effective substitute I am still for the further hampered in my efforts to understand the situation by my extremely material mind with its strong trend in favor of labor saving and efficiency. The service plate has to be put on by somebody. Assuming that it is a decoration, as it undoubtedly is, it seems to me that it ought to be allowed to stay on the table and decorate instead of being removed at the expense of further labor. Not only is it removed, but if hearsay has correctly informed me it is returned to its business of decorating; that is, of presenting something for the diner to look at other than the cloth. I cant find any reason why he should not look at the clot which in all probability also is beautiful, and in many cases is an exquisite example of the weavers, the embroiderers or the lacemakers art, or perhaps a combination of all of them. Please understand that I am not offering any objection to, or making argument against, service plates. Im merely trying to get their raison detre through my head. A custom that has been so widely adopted by so many people of the highest culture and intelligence must have other justification than mere imitation. All customs start with a reason of some kind, and some of them, in the course of time, may even get back to It; so I am not without hope that some day I shall find out what it is, for all things come to him who waits. As an eminent physician, Buck goes about a good deal more than I do, so it occurred to me to sound him on the subject. Buck, I said, how do jou regard service plates on a dinner table? he replied, Apprehensively, Whenever a meal starts with service plates its a sure sign that Ill use the wrong fork before it is over.

The dock left Newcastle, England, where it was constructed, more than six months ago, and so efficiently was it handled that its trip was rather uneventful. The dock was built according to the specifications prepared by experts of the Wellington harbor board, whose representatives went to Newcastle to supervise the work. It is designed to accommodate ships of 17,000 tons, which engage in the New Zealand trade. condition of constipation.
