Kansas City. No. August IS.
Alnost 28.0oe head Of cattle were
reoeived at the Kansas City Stock
Yards this morning. This was no rec
ord or near-rsoords but. considering
the 3754s bead OF yesterday, making
total Of over $1,000 IN two days,
commission men can't understand
how prices remain steady.
Usually when big shipments come
in two days in succession prices drop,
but no such thing happened yesser-
day or to-day. On the other hand,
there seemed 70 be more competition
among the buyers.
The chief complaint Of local cattle
men is that much Of the receipts
viii go OUT Of the country. Buyers ar
here from indiana Ohio and as far
east as virginia. Most Of the cattle
received the past two DAYS have
been ia good shape. much better than
wouId be expected under the condi-
tons Of pastures. Much good butcher
staff Is received and sells fast.
The year 1913 is long to be
remembered By the residents OF An
drain and especially the farmers. Per
hans there never was a more persis-
tent stand made against dry weather
than there has been this year
Again and again We have fought By
every krown means 70 us and that
: advised By the College Of Agricul-
Hre, bu, after all II has been Of 1T
tie avail in many sections where
there have been no showers.
The thing that stares the farm.
ers now in the face Is. how are they
going to get through the winter
without sacrificing their livestock
which they win need another sea
son Corn win be cut. probably
some feed will be shipped in. espee-
tally hay. but then there win be none
for waste.
There is another source that win
be fallen back on by many and
should be used BY many more and
that is sowing rye This Is one of
orr most hardy plants and Is almost
sure Of going through the winter
well although 1t may not come up
I'll the very last Of October.
Should II be sn open winter with
a little rain, IT win afford a great
deal Of pasture throughout the win
ter, especially for hogs and shoop.
The first warm day that comes mex
spring Il VIII begin growing rapidly
and will soon be good pasture for cat.
lie and young horses. The spring OF
1919 we had about Is acres that fur
nished pasture for US when $500 per
day would not have fed the stock
hat was iifng of OF It az current
7rices Of feed then.
The last Of May Y became so.
tough stock would no longer craze
i and the pIows were then put on
and II was. planted to corn making
an excellent crop.
Beside the grazing there are two
other side issues that are worth a
great deal: green manuring ana as
winter cover crop.
Rye IS not by far as good a green
manure crop as one of the legumes.
But X Is almost impossible TO turn
a legume crop under without losing
the use Of the ground one year a.
they are warm weather crops. Yet
rye can be grown I'm the winter and
early spring afford cover crop bind
ing the soil with its roots and pre-
venting washing Of the soil IN tbe
winter months CThis is an inportan.
thing next year, II heavy rains fan in
the spring as this year. There is no.
even weed this time 20 lodge
