THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, MAY 5, 1981 | Be | Bookkeeping System Brings Success to Southern Cotton Farmer 13 Tractors on 3,000 Acres of Land FARMS 5,660 ACRES IN ALL Says He Can Make Money on Eight-Cent Cotton by Using Modern Methods England, Ark., May 5.—(NEA)—The | best and most progressive farmer in the south, according to experts, is E. M. Faver, who operates a farm of more than 5,660 acres near here. Faver is one of the few farmers in| the south who did not suffer much from the drought last year. And he gives as the reason his wide use of machinery and modern farm prac- tices. He is a progressive farmer, one of the bookkeeping variety, and he believes machinery is revlutionizing farming. Tenant families, he has discovered, are more expensive to keep than tractors, so he is now farm- ing all his land with these machines. “I now have 13 tractors working ‘on 3,000 acres of tillable land,” he says. “With these tractors I have re- Placed 40 families and 80 mules, “It costs more to feed a mule dur- ing the year than it does to operate tractor. And you get far more work out of a tractor.” . Cuts the Overhead Faver buys gas and oil in tank lots. Gas costs him but $3.40 a hundred gallons and oil $47.88 a hundred. He owns two gins, thus reducing his gin- ning cost. For the benefit of what few tenants he has, hé operates a supply store. Overhead is reduced to the minimum. He attends all farm meetings and reads all journals which shed light on how to raise more at less cost. “As a result, I can make money on eight-cent cotton,” he says. “By us- ing tractors and day labor I can raise cotton at five cents a pound less than my neighbors.” Faver has started a move in his vicinity to plant a half-yield cotton crop, devoting the other half to pas- tures and alfalfa fields for a stock ranch. His 1931 crop will consist of 2,300 acres of cotton, 350 acres of clover and grass, 200 acres of Ber- muda grass and 150 acres of alfalfa. “As I increase my herd I'm going to decrease by cotton acreage,” he ex- plains. “With systematized farming I can undersell western ranchers in beef production.” Doesn’t Neglect Soil ‘His farm scheme means thousands of dollars in savings to this farmer. He plants cotton on a certain field for three years. The fourth year he plants legumes and allows his cattle to ‘on it, The legumes and cattle fertilizer restore nitrogen and other enriching elements to the land. Even .though Faver has made his money and success through cotton, he doesn’t think much of the future of cotton. “I don’t think much of cotton farming,” he opines. “There won't be any money in cotton during the next few years. You've got to be far- sighted and know bookkeeping to get ahead in farming. HOOVER IS PLAYED BY VIRGINIA MAN Commisisoner of Labor and In- dustry Criticizes Employment Relief Committee Alexandria, Va., May 5.—(?)—John Hopkins Hall, Jr., Virginia commis- sioner of labor and industry, told the Virginia conference of social work Monday that President Hoover's na- tional employment relief committee ‘was “little more than a political ges- Speaking on unemployment and its effects in Virginia, Mr. Hall said “It has developed that the national com: mittee was more a fact finding prop- aganda committee than one of func- tional relief. In the final analysis, the localities were left to work out their own salvation. “Our department has furnished data on the unemployment situation in the state of Virginia to federal of- ficials and used its influence in bring- ing about the passage of the Wagner bills, the chief of which, provi for federal-state cooperative employment service, our federal government's chief engineer, however, pocket-ve- toed. Thus the most constructive effort of the federal governmen? to alleviate the situation availed noth- ing. “In vetoing the Wagner employ- ment service bill, the president and Secretary of Labor Doak gave the de- struction of state rights as one of the many reasons for such action, yet the reorganization of the federal employ- ment service which is now taking r'--e is resulting in the crepes de- struction of the present ius cae state of Virginia.” STICKERS |STHNGSMAGHINERY [[_fermstttcionyinsou | |= MEHMET | [ogo n a SMILE AT DROUGHT E.

McKENNEY i} Secretary American Bridge League | While ace-showing is new in con- | tract, the bidding of void suits for a/ lead was an old trick used in auction. | Two of the most interesting hands | of this type are given by Nils M. Wester in his contract book. Mr. Wester is one of the leading players | of Chicago and was captain of the | Chicago team which tied with the New York team in the first national contract team-of-four championship. The following hand shows the bid- ding for a lead which could be used with perfect safety: South opened the bidding with one club, West overcalled with a dia- mond, North bid two spades, East three diamonds, and South three spades. West realized that it was almost hopeless for him to try and sacrifice in diamonds. He decided to let his opponents play the hand at spades, but before doing so he slip- ped in a four clubs bid which was nothing more or less than a Jead in- dicator. Naturally if he is doubled he will go back to four diamonds. North passed and East took his part- ner to four diamonds, South then went to four spades which became the final contract. East opened the deuce of clubs which West trumped with the three of spades, West returned the threc of diamonds which East won with the jack and returned the three of clubs, which was trumped with the six of spades. Now another small diamond, East winning with the king. The 10 of clubs was returned by East and Contract Bridge System— trumped by West with the eight of spades, and before North could ever get started, East and West had taken five tricks, setting the declarer’s con- tract two tricks. Mr. Wester was describing the above hand to-a group of friends one day. Mr. Beginner, who thought this lead directing bid was rather clever, shortly afterwards was dealt the fol- | lowing hand in which he attempted to use the same tactics as those em- ployed by Mr. Wester. VA-10-9 oK A-K-Q-J-10-8 South opened with a club and Mr. Beginner, sitting in the West position, bid a diamond. North ventured one | heart. Mr. Beginner's partner, sitting in the East, was very glad to pass, South also passed, but not so Mr. Be- ginner. Now was the time, he thought, to employ the tactics used by Mr. Wester in the preceding hand. He therefore bid two clubs which North passed, his partner contented with clubs passed, and to Mr. Be- ginner’s surprise, South also passed. | When the smoke cleared away, Mr. Beginner had failed to take a trick, | North and South making a grand | slam against him, \ The tactics of the beginner were practically the same as those used by Mr. Wester, but were used at the wrong time and in the wrong manner. Therefore do not attempt to use ace- showing and void suit tactics unless you and your partner are both thor- oughly familiar with them. or you | may meet with the same disastrous results as the player did in the above hand.

I FEW NEW ARRIVALS IN BIRD COLONIES Lack of Movement Among Feathered Tribe Believed Due to Cold Weather By 0. A. STEVENS (North Dakota Agricultural College) Continued cold weather, few new arrivals and little movement among the birds is not an uncommon re- port at this season of the year. A few juncoes and tree sparrows have been about, evidently waiting for a The writer's May for this species is May 2 1927. EZ MY MAN ~~ AND LAST NIGHT IN: MY ROOM 2 ~~ ER-UM The juncoes remain a little longer, their average date for the same pe- riod being May 3. These dates of course refer to a few birds whic» re- | mained some time after most of them have gone on. April 10 and 11 seemed \to be the time at which the !argest numbers of the juncoes departed northward this spring. Says phoebe, mentioned last week as having been seen at Jamestown, was reported at Arnegard April 17 by Mr. J. H. McClelland. These birds are seen quite regularly in the western half of the state. “McClelland noted the first chestnut-collared longspur April 18. ‘The fox sparrow, noted last week as rare, was seen at Fairdale by F. J. Vegtasa April 16. Judge M. O. Thompson at Lisbon saw a single bird April 24 and Miss Perna M. Stine at Minot reported the species April 26. The writer had seen only the two birds April 13. Vegtasa’ saw the chestnut-collared longspur April 14. He reports the ar- rival of the following water birds: Yellow legs April 14, Frankiin gull April 15, pled-billed grebe April 18, Holboell grebe, double-crested cor- morant, Wilson snipe, widgeon, ruddy, black and bufflehead ducks April 19. Quite a number of species usually jarrive the last of April. One or two individuals of several of these have been seen. The writer ob- served a myrtle warbler Aprii 25 and) on the two days following, it was seen repeatedly in the same maple tree insects which were attracted to the sweet sap oozing from last year’s sapsucker drillings. Miss Alice Tibert, Fargo,| reports that she had seen one of these! birds April 20. One was seen at Val- | ley City April 19 and Jamestown April} 25. | The warblers feed almost entirely upon small insects. Nearly all of the species spend the winter in the trop- ics and migrate through our region! about May 15 to 25. The black and} white warbler comes a little earlier! than most of them, arriving about May 10. The mrytie usually is seen commonly here during the first two or three weeks of May. It wintersqn} southern and central United States! as far north as New York City, and feeds to a considerable extent upon berries at that season. An interesting feature of trapping} and banding is that frequently birds will be caught which otherwise prob- ably would not have been seen. In| this way the writer has taken during: the last ten days a single ind‘vidual | of the following: Chipping svarrow/ April 18, white-throated sparrow April 20 and swamp sparrow April 25.| No other individuals of these “pecies had been seen by April 29, though the white-throated sparrow was heard singing and taken in the traps every day. In the same way Mr. Berner at Jamestown took two Lincoln sparrows April 19. None of these had been! seen by the writer. A white-throated sparrow was seen at Fairmount April| 22, They should be here in consider- able numbers almost any day. Mr.| Berner also reports the capture of a field sparrow April 19. This is a rare bird in that part of the state though quite common in the Missouri river valley. DERBY DAY CHANGED London, May 5.—()—King George will be 66 years old on Derby Day, June 3.

PAT.OFP. ‘SHOPPING AROUND’ Girls at Agricultural College/ Find Careful Marketing Cuts Living Cost Fargo, N. D., May 5.—“Careful mar- keting and ‘shopping around’ pay well,” is the decision of the practice lege. “For at the end of eight weeks housekeeping we find that our meals have cost us just 32c each per day,” they announce. “What did we eat? Just what every well organized family | eats—good, wholesome food, so com- bined as to meet the needs of healthy grown-ups leading a@ somewhat strenuous life.” ‘This group of eight seniors in the school of home economics under the| supervision of Dean Alba Bales, lived for eight weeks in the College Practice House, doing all their own marketing, | cooking and serving—in fact every-| thing in the way of housekeeping that | is done by the homemaker in her own | home. In view of the fact that changes in many family budgets may be necessary through present condi- tions, this group made an effort to discover just how much decrease can be made in the food allowance with- out losing sight of the health and happiness of the family. Most of the buying was done Friday daily paper, and on Saturdays the market girl with the girl in charge of the coming week’s meals went into the markets armed with information this way they took advantage of Sat- urday specials and found that it meant a considerable saving in buy- ing for a family. Their lists, of course, cases where the foods did not meet quality standards, Perishable foods were bought as needed, but others were bought in quantities where it meant a saving and seemed practical. The girls con- cluded that inexperienced buyers of foods should market in the’ shops whenever possible rather than over the telephone. The general plan followed for the meals included each day one Meals served were dietetically suffici- ent in quality, quantity and variety for men as well as women students. | In cases where the individuals in the) group became too hungry before meal time, it was believed that the last} meal was not adequate and the short-| comings of the menu were brought to) light. This did not occur often, how- ever, as the meals were carefully plan- ned a week in advance so that a whole day's dietary was thought out. Jamestown Man Is Named Head of Body Cleveland, N.

While Mayor Anton J.

Se es he shared in transfusions more than 200 lives, never will be used in another operation. The 47-year-old World War hero and president of the free blood honors’ Association of America dropped dead - of a heart attack Sunday. Estimates made by friends from irecords they had kept, show it is believed, that he gave his blood to more persons in transfusions than jany other known man. And he gave it free. Kennedy, who numbered among his decorations a congressional medal, Croix de Guerre and a Garnegie hero award, was talking to his wife when he was stricken. In 1926 when former President Cool- idge’s father was dying in Vermont, Kennedy went there by airplane to offer his blood. He underwent sev- eral transfusion operations in front line dressing stations during the World war and is credited with sav- ing the lives of 18 soldiers. REPORT MURDERS BY HONDURAS REBELS 50 Members in Federal Garri- son Said Slain in Massacre by Ferrera Men ‘Washington, May 5.—(?)—The mas- sacre by rebel forces under General Gregorio Ferrera, of about 50 members of the federal garrison at Santa Rosa, de Copan was reported to the state department Monday on the basis of official Honduran information. The report said Ferrera’s force ag- gregated 350 men, the garrison con- sisting of 100 government troops which surrendered after their ammufnition was exhausted. About 50 unable to escape were massacred. Those massacred included the gov- ernor of the department, the military commandant, the chief of police and a number of civilians who had taken refuge in the barracks. The report said the attack had evoked “great in- dignation” among both nationalists and liberals. The report added it was expected Ferrera would retire from Santa Rosa when government forces numbering 1,000 under General Jose Maria Reina reached the town. Quiet was said to prevail in all other departments.
