rotation and Diversity the Way 70
Keep Up Prices.

1T Is often urged that In cas- ev-
erybody should grow an immense
yield Of corn that the price Of corn
would 90 down. This sometimes is
true. although you may have noticed
that when we have bumper crops Of
all kinds OF grain and other products
that prices do not so down on account
Of an increased circulation Of money.
All manufacturers and wholesalers
take the crops into consideration and
increase their output TO meet these
prosperous conditions" said H. N.
C~ottrell, agricultural commissioner
Rock Island Lines.
"The correction OF oyersproduction
Is rotation and diversity Of crops. We
do not advocate that a mai plant more
acres, but that he should s more
brains and less sweat. Nobody can
quarrel with that proposition. 1t may
be said that the price OF cotton has
gone down On account Of such a tire
mendous crop. but that Is not wholly
the eason The real reason is thai
many who are growing cotton are moi
growing enough Of other things, and
they should put some OF their cottcE
energy into corn and hogs. which the,
can use. 1t fE g matter OF propel

THE DEMAND FOR GOOD STEERS.
The Public Wants the Best II Can Get
and VIII pay Accordingly.

Steers selling SO high as they are
at the ST. Louis market starts the in
CURRY, why do people pay 50 much
for their meat?s
Because they want good meat
Also because cattle are scarce. These
two reasons are enough. They will
govern market prices here at least for
a long time to come says the market
expert OF the National The country
has grown. It's wealth has increased.
People spend money more freely for
what they want to eat.
-They have learned that it's a great
pleasure to eat good meat. That it
pays. That energy is thus created
which can be converted into cash.
The average American Of medium
means lives as well as the wealthy
folks did q generation ago. He wants
his family to be well and strong. He
knows by SO being they a fight dis
ease and that the boys and girls will
do well at school and in business and
be able to marry properly and bring
up their families.
eThe immense meat bill OF this
country is thus due as much to brains
on the part Of the people as to
scarcity Of supply. The scarcity Of
| supply every one knows all about.
Drought causes s6me of 1t. Poor corn
in the section round this market Ia
another reason, The Eastern people
| depend on this market for their best
pork, lamb and baby beef" The corn
| fed product is the favorite.
80 our farmers and feeders have
bent their energies to producing good
steers. They md them profitable
even when they have to pay eighty
cents a bushel for corn. But many
things can be fed besides orn Cot
ton seed meal. hoHiiny hay. etc. arr
