=
Net profit to feeder. 2.27
No allowance in the above for in
terest, labor. etc. The profit shown
and the hog feed will cover that and
leave a small profit in addition, possi-
bly,, but not any more, certainly, than
the legitimate amount to which the
cattle feeder is entitled. Corn is fig
ured at SO cents. That is fair enough.
Last year was the shortest crop
since 1881. We are better located than
the large majority of feeders, our corn
crop for last year being almost half
crop. In less favored localities than
this, the cost of feeding has been
higher.
Summing it all up, Mr.. Rankin gives
1T as his opinion, from his experience
Of fifty years feeding, during which
time he has marketed something like
10000 cattle, that the present high
prices for both steer and hog products
are due to natural causes only and
that there has been no combination to
bring 1t about, so far as the packers
are concerned. He says they are sim
ply paying a good price for the prod
uce. They are paying what the de-
mand, due to general prosperity, justi-
fies and what the cost of the products
as the result of the high-price feed
merits. Prosperity and the short corn
crop OF last year is the combination.
