Increasing Crops BY Live Stock.

Large crops and live stock go
together. All hoOfs are golden IN
their effect upon yields Of grain
upon the lining Of a farmers purse.
The by-prodUcts Of the farm-the
straw and the volunteer growth in
cidental to the raising of cash crops
may be combined with tie WELD
Of a fraction of the land to pro-
dUce meat and at the same time
sustain and increase the grain yields
Of the entire farm.
-Four years work just completed
on twenty-oze demonstration farms
in various sections of North Da-
kota have resulted in an increase
of 80 to 100 per cent in the yield
of wheat per acre following the
withdrawal of part of the land for
sustaining stock. The yields of
wheat in that state have been
around twelve bushels per acre
under continuous cropping. The
crops on the farms managed by
experiment station to demonstrate
a balanced agriculture indicate
that anyone can as easily grow an
average yield exceeding twenty
bushels if he keeps enough stock
to eat the corn produced on one
fifth of his land and the hay and
oats produced on another one-ffth.
This stock produces enough man
ure TO cover one-ffth of his land
each year in a moderate dressing.
The three-ffths of the farm left in
cash grain crops will yield a larger
return than the whole farm did
when only grain was grown.
The immediate and marked in
crease in crops from the Introduce
ion of stock has been convincing
evidence of its wisdom. Last sea-
son the yields of wheat on the six
original farms started on the test
in 1906 averaged 27.5 bushels per
acre; Oh the six farms started in
1907 the yield was 1926 bushels.
and on the eight started last year
the yield was 14.5 bushels per
acre. 1t costs practically as much
to raise and harvest a small crop
as a large one. The added bush
els represent practically clear pro-
fit and measure farmers strides
toward prosperity.

Beef Consumption Increasing.

Much encouragement for cattle
breeders Is found IN market statis-
tics for the expired portion of the
current year. With the exception
Of the supply from Texas the mar
ketHard movement has been liberal
and ii has been mainly beef. the
stocker output having been unus-
Tally light for the reason that kill
ers have been using thin and light
cattle more extensively thar ever
before. Some years ago appre-
hension existed that loss of export
trade would demoralize domestic
cattle markets. but the export out
let has been practically closed and
yet prices have ruled at record
levels. The cattle market of 1910
must not be measured by top prices
as il their desire to cheaper cost
on the hooks slaughterers have
paid a premium for medium and
common steers and butcher stuff,
fact that merely emphasizes the
argument.
While Chicago's best price for
the year is but $3.50 per cwt. the
the S6.J0@7.75 class of cattle never
sold as high before. Turning else
where the record is as instructive
as it is encouraging. During April,
south Texas cattle sold on the Fort
Worth market at 1915 per cwt.
and Oklahoma steers realized S8.25
on the same market. Grassers
reached 1926. The butcher mar
ket has been even higher. IS being

All this means prompt consump-
ton as killers do not accumulate
single carcass in excess of urgent
orders when prices are at such al
titudes. Although every princi-
pal market except Kansas City
and Fort Worth was in receipt of
more cattle than last year, when
prices ruled $50 per cwt. lower.

Domestic beef consumption is
