WANT JOHNSON TO ENTER
INTERNATIONAL SHOW
GRADY COUNTY IDEAL FOR CATTLE FEEDING


to feedprize winning cattle costs more
money than the stock ever brings.
even at fancy prices. The reward
which the feeder receives is not in
the sale prices Of his prize cattle but
in the returns which come to him on
other cattle which he sells. For ex-
ample. the record made by Johnson
at Fort Worth. makes a demand for
his cattle in every market and conse-
Quently he gets little better price.
Mr.. kirkpatrick and those who have
taken up his idea propose that Chick
asha shall offer substantial induce
ment to johnson to prepare bunch
or cattle for the Chicago show. making
up pot to help pay the expense Of
feeding the cattle. Tom Dwyer J. B.

lie that when We 90 to Chicago, we
get into swift company Feeders and
breeders from every state enter the
contest there and it takes mighty good
work to win. In order to have a shot
at sweepstakes we ought to begin at
least year before. It is doubtful
waether we could win this year except
IN certain classes but we could make
4 start and be prepared for the next
year
Questioned as to the secret OF his
success in continually winning over
all other feeders at Fort Worth Mr.
Johnson said rather modestly. We'll
of course. we think we understand
the art OF feeding pretty well and
then | think we have little better
bred cattle than the other fellows
show, but another fact that must not
be over looked is this I believe we
have the best country in the United
States for feeding cattle. We don't
have the cold Of the north to contend
with and We don't have the continued
heat Of the country further south
which retards the development Of
stock. In the north where cattle must
stand in cold and mud for several
months OF the year. feeding is a much
more difficult and expensive PROPOSE.
