(Prepared by the United State* Department of Agriculture.) Although types of farming tn the Unit^T States are more or less fixed by n& cessary adaptation to conditions of soil, climate, and markets, they are always undergoing minor changes, and the last few years with' the uprece- dented disturbances'“ In commodity' prices and in production and transpor-. tatlon costs, have brought about an un usual number of readjustments. The United States Department of Agricul ture has obtained reports on crop changes in many states, which give some idea of the shake-up in agricul ture. Eastern farmers, with a high freight rate differential in their favor, are con sidering whether they cannot produce some of the feed which they now -buy* In the South the inroads of the boll weevil have compelled some farmers to turn from specialization in cotton to other crops! Flay has been success fully substituted for wheat in a small portion of the spring wheat region. For many farmers flax is a highly at tractive crop as a -substitute for part of their wheat. Tills was demon- 'itrated by the cash returns from the 1922 crops, which were high for flax and low for wheat. As a result, flax acreage this yeaiL waa increased to 2,300,000 acres from 1,300,000 acres in 1922. The present flax acreage is the largejLjilntifi, ms^^.honie J)roduc : than potato growing, ftince, however, potatoes can apparently be shipped la Tfom distant states at a profit, and since a few more acres of potatoes could be grown on many Blair county farms without limiting the extent of profitableness of dairying, there should be money in increased local produc tion. . .. In the Yakima valley, 'iVashfngton, potato growers are working on plans to prevent a repetition of losses suf fered in the last few years from dark of a readily accessible market. Prob ably the Yakima valley produces larger yields of potatoes of thp highest grade than any other area in thejeountry. The Yakima reclamation projects in -1922-produced an average of 2GU-huslu THINGS NEW/(GAIN Dye or Tint^/Lny Worn, Shabby Gar ment or Drapery.

Under the pres ent tariff of 40 cents a bushel, it is likely flax acreage will increase still more. There has been a Uig increase in the number of sheep in the United States in the last two years, under the stimu lus of tariff protection and an active demand for wool. Two-thirds of our sheep are raised on the range and one- third on the farms. Many farmers who already have isheep can no doubt Increase their flocks with profit, say live-stock experts in the Department of Agriculture. Others, it is said, could profitably add sheep to the live stock enterprises. Sheep Rasing Profitable. In the last year the farm price of sheep has risen from $4.80 to $7.50 a head; the farm price of wool has in creased from an average of 29 cents a pound in 1922 to 38 c^nts. These advances have been a boon to many farmers whose major crops have not brcipglitfcgood prices. Further expan sion of the sheep industry probably would be profitable.

Yet the growers lost money, and a large part of the crop had to be dumped back on the fields. To reduce such losses in the future, new plans for marketing th? choicest grade of potatoes are under •consider ation. It is proposed to grade and sort the potatoes, wrap each one in paper, and pack them In small boxes for shipment by the’Tnnama'<?anal to Eastern markets. Potatoes thus packed.

An ncre of corn In Ohio this year promises to he worth nearly twice as much as an acre of wheat or oats.’ In Chester county, Pa., the aver age value of an acre of oorn giving the normal yield of 65 bushels at ^0 cents a bushel would be $45, while the value of an acre of wheat yielding 25 bushels at 85 cents would be only $21.

C« i — (Prepared'by the United States Department of Agriculture.) All animals require plenty of good, pure water. This is especially true of the milking cow, as water constitutes more than three-fourths of the total volume of milk. The water supply, therefore, demands the - dairyman’s most careful attention. Stale or im pure water is distasteful to the cow, and she wifi not drink-enougli for max imum milk production. Such ’water may also carry diagjis# germs which might make the milk unsafe for hu man consumption or be dangerous to the cow herself. During the winter,, says the United States Department of Agriculture, when cows are stabled the greater part of the time, they’should be watered two or three times a day unless ar rangements have been made to keep water before them at all times. The water should, if possible be 15 de grees to 20 degrees above the freez ing point, and should be supplied at practically the same temperature ev ery day. When water well above freezing temperature is stored In tanks and piped directly to the cow, there Is'j probably little ocCttskm for facilities 1 to warm it.

Y^The transfer of the machinery from the company’s England holdings Is paj^t of the,expansion program map ped out for the Seneca plant, and is deemed significant as a forerunner of other transfers, from other manu- facturies* in- -the north and east to plants in the Piedmont section of the Carollnas.

The Seneca plant was purchased from the Victor Monaghan chain late in 1923, by the Goddard brothers, who have for a long period operated plants at Lons dale, r. ir Several large New England textile concerns have bought plants in the Carolinas during the last ye^r, and it is possible that the proposed step of the Lonsdale company to transfer a part of their equipment from the east To'TTieTr BoTTflTerTTTffitmtfgB’' vPnr f klai)- lish a precedent for. others.
