There is a farmer across the line in
Minnesota who has nc sympathy for
those who are complaining of the
cheap price of corn. His, he says,
brought him $4.2S a bushel, and this
is the way he explains it: Five weeks
ago he purchased twenty three steers.
Their total weight was 1880 pounds.
At 6 cents a pound they were worth
$1,1S5. After thirty-two days feeding
their weight was 22,310 pounds and
they are worth $2,007. 80. He fed
six bushels of corn each day for thir-
ty-two days and in that way the corn
brought him $4.2S a bushel.
Down in Iowa where land is valued
at over 5000 farmers are making some
money. They do not do it by raising
wheat alone, nor corn alone. They
use a we'll balanced rotation. One
that distributes the work and one that
puts different crops on different soils.
Also they do not sell their crops to
the elevators. Those farmers have de-
cided that the only way they can make
anything is to feed cattle. Not three
year old steers but calves. They say
the cheapest and best gains are made
when the animal is young. If these
farmers can make money on 5000 land
surely Brookings county farmers can
make something on $50 to 800 land.
The same kind of crops can be grown.
