“If you have a disability which you
feel is due to your military or naval

a matter of duty to yourself and your
country immediately file a claim for
disability,” . reads an article In the
American Legion Weekly.
“To make the' claim, obtain from
your local post, the National Service
Division of the Legion, -or the Bureau
of War Risk Insurance the fallowing
forms: Numbers 528, 53b and 545. In
addition, make a detailed statement
>f your condition and occupation prior
to service, injury or sickness during
.service, where treated, and physical
condition since discharge. Obtain a
like statement from one or more per
sons who were with you and knew
of your disability during service. Get
a statement also from one or two per
sons who have known yqu since dis
charge, particularly your employers
and other disinterested persons.
“Last and most important, get state
ments from all the doctors who treated
your case and from the hospitals
where you were confined. These must
all be sworn to before a notary public
and forwarded to the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance, where, after consider
ation of your health record, jymr

After the party had gone the boy
regained consciousness, worked him
self free and went to a negro house
and gave the alarm. Sheriff Hill was
immediately notified and was soon up
on the scene. Upon his arrival he
was informed that the soldiers in the

Dairy Industry Would Become More
Profitable if Cows of Greater Pro
ductive Capacity Were Intro
duced by Farmer*.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
That the size of the farm has much
to do with the success of the owner is
shown by results of a survey conduct
ed by the United States Department
of Agriculture In five counties in th?
south and southeastern Ozark region
of Missouri. The operation of a gen
eral farm in the Ozarks with much
less than 40 acres of land for crop* la
exceedingly unsatisfactory, regardless
of the' location of the farm, whether
among the valleys or the hills.
Study Many Kinds of Farms.
The report of the survey published
by the department as Department Bul
letin 941, entitled “Farm Management
In the Ozark Region of Missouri," Is
based on the study of the organization
and management of- 79 famis, 31 of
which are representative of condltipns
of rolling and hilly uplands, and 48 of
valley and level uplands. The topo
graphical structure to a large extent
determines the agricultural value of
the land, says the report. As a ru|e
the operator of a valley or level up
land farm has a decided advantage
over the operator of the rough farm.
After deducting from their total re
ceipts the year’s operating expenses.
Including the value of family labor
and allowing ,5, per cent Interest on
the capital invested, the survey shows
that the operators of rolling and hilly
farms had, in 1917, an average labor
income of $309, and those operating
valley or level upland farms an aver
age of $640.
Of the 79 farms studied, 20 per cent
had no labor income after allowing for
the deductions referred to. and 21 per
cent had a labor Income above $1,000.
Labor Incomes earned by typical oper-
I ators Indicate that ope having much
| less than 40 acres of crop land for a
; general live-stock farm has a rather
1 poor chance of financial success.
Better Cows Would Increase Income.
Live-stock farming Is the principal
sgricultural industry of the region.
Ttie use of cows for dairy purposes is
increasing. The average annual pro
duction per cow of 78 cows on the
better class of dairy farms In the area
covered by the survey was 142 pounds
of butterfat. This industry, says the
report, would become more profltabjjf
If cows of greater productive capacity
were Introduced, and the production
would be increased if the feeding of

each one will have a more equal

better-balanced rations was practiced
more generally. Pasturage Is the
foundation of a live-stock Industry,
but natural pastures can be greatly
Improved by thinning out woodland
areas, keeping the underbrush down,
and sowing tame grasses.
For greater assurance of llve-sLock
feeds during the summer droughts, to
which the section Is liable., ’many
farmers plant sorghum, millet and
kafir com as auxiliary hay crops. On
better-managed farms silage is also
produced for winter feed and some
times to supplement the pasture dur
ing summer droaghts. With proper
care alfalfa, clover, soy beans and
cowpeas are grown, the possibility of
these crops, both for hay and grazing,
being clearly recognized.
The sollk of the region have a wide
variation in natural fertility and pro
ductiveness. They are usually porous,
owing to the large content of stone
and gravel. As a result, air and water
circulate through them freely, and
when they are put under cultiva^en
the humus content is quickly lost un
less a system of farming is adopted in
which provision is made to replenish
the supply. If the humus-content is
lost the water-holding capacity of the
soils 4* greatly reduced, and, as a re
sult, crop* suffer severely during the
summer droughts and profitable yields
are then almost impossible.

Pork day is one of the big annual
events of Kings county, California. It
comes In October usually. In this con
test the form bureau center is the
unit, and every farm bureau In the
contest advances one carload of hegp
to be exhibited and rated by an ex
pert Judge. Every farm bureau cen
ter must have at least six consignors
to the load, thus preventing any big
concern from exhibiting a carload. In
the contest .last fall six farm bureau
centers as well as a boys’ pig club
took part In the contest. Ten car
loads were auctioned in addition to
seven cars that had been in the qpn-
test.
The county agent leader says In his
annual report to the United States De
partment of' Agriculture"There
seems to be no more convincing argu
ment to a hog producer than to see
the actual sales of his animals take
place and to know the difference In
price paid for a superior quality ani
mal.
Farm bureau sales of this kind were
started in California In 1916 on the
initiative of the county agent of Kern
county. • They are now becoming com
mon in all pork-producing counties of
the state. There were 175 such sales
in 1920. with sales aggregating $1,400,-
000.

LOSS OF VIRGIN FERTILITY
Sufficient Quantities of Plantfooo Nec

Productiveness.
To maintain the productiveness of
■f soil It is necessary to preserve with
in the soil sufficient quantities of
available plant food at least to preven
the-yleld from falling oft after a pe
riod of cropping. Hundreds of field
experiments have demonstrated that
the best soils will gradually lose their
virgin fertility unless more than or

Poultry manure Is the richest the-
