FEEDING LIVE STOCK ON
FARMS is ROAD TO PROFIT

Mitchell, S. D., Feb. Zone of the
pest methods of %rescuing themselves
from a losing grain market situation Is
Tor u Dakota farmers to raise more
live stock and grow less wheat" said
president r.. c. Perisho. of state col
lese. before the Live Stock Breeders
association at Mitchell on Wednesday,.
president Perisho asserted that farmers
got vi 000, 900 less for their products
last year than did the middlemen; that
although there Is much talk Of build
ing terminal elevators to break the
owe controlling the wheat market.
yet the farmer can do most for himself
by growing less wheat and more stock.
rev things are more absurd for a
state like South Dakota than to grow
a big wheat crop, sell it at a small
price and ship it to Minneapolis to be
ground into flour. Experiences in the
past show that our farmers get the
smallest price possible for the grain
and then. worst of all. they lose the by
products of the wheat.
Zone of the most disastrous results
OF this method Of growing grain and
shipping it out OF the state arises In
our inability to keep stock on the farm.
Had South Dakota last year fed the
grain which she shipped beyond the
boundaries Of the state, we could easily
have maintained $50. 900 to 30o.o 00 more
cattle. upon h farms of the state.
When you stop to think what this
g to the wealth of the state. there
a be no argument of shipping grain
and not raising stock. With cattle M
hogs selling at the price which they
have the last few years. farmers have
done exceptionally well in feeding both
steers and hogs.
