prepared by the United States Depart
mont of Agricultural
The waste in the United States of
vast quantity of feed available for cat
tie is one of the important factors in
causing high meat prices, according to
Part " of a comprehensive survey of
the meat situation in this country, re-
Gently completed by the department of
agriculture. The failure to make use
of this wasted material, says the re-
port, has diminished profits from cat
tie feeding, has unnecessarily in
creased the cost of meat production
and has discouraged many farmers
from properly rounding out their agri-
cultural activities in carrying on cat
tie raising.
According to the report the loss in
grain straw and corn Stover amounts
to more than $1OO,OOO,OOO annually.
Both of these products are disposed
of most economically when fed to
cattle in connection with some form
of concentrated feed. Straw is espe-
cially valuable in carrying the breed
ing herd through the winter, in win
terng stockers, and as a supplement
tary rOughagc for fattcning cattle.
Slower, too, is an excellent feed for
wintering cattle, especially mature
breeding cows. Nevertheless, in many
sections of the country where these
products are abundant, little attempt
is made to take advantage of their
yolIIa for tb.Sn ,,urpnSnc
OF an annual straw crop of approx
mately 12O,OOO,0OO tons, it is estimated
that only two-thirds is put to its best
use-live-Stock production. OF the re-
mainder a little more than one-half is
sold or turned under and the rest-1o
per cent of the total CROPS burned.
Burning is practically an absolute
waste and although blowing under
does contribute something to soil fer
tllity, the benefit to the land is less
than that which would be derived from
the use of the straw to produce ma
nure. "Of all systems of obtaining
permanent soil fertility" says the re-
port, none is so practical or as easily
available as that of feeding live stock"
The average value of all kinds of
straw is placed at about s. n ton. In
many sections, of course, no such price
can be realized for it, and as n matter
of fact only about per cent of the
crop actually is sold. The figure men
toned, however may be taken as rep
rcsenting the value to the farmer of
straw if he will use it properly in his
farming operations as feed or bedding.
In order TO illustrate how this may be
done the report gives three sample ra-
tons for wintcring breeding herd of
beef cattle on straw combined with
silage, shock corn, and cottonSccd or
linseed meal. Any one of these ra-
lions, it is said, will prove economical.
They are as follows:

TECH IN SHAPE
FOR HARD BATTLE
Leave Today For Greensburg;
Rooters Take Early Train

Twenty-one members of the Tech
high school football squad left this
afternoon on the 2.47 train for Green's
burg, where they will line up to-mor-
row afternoon against the high school
team of that place. Accompanying
the players will be Coach Miller,
Trainer Kelly, Professor Grubb and
Manager George Stark.
They will be quartered at the Hotel
Westmoreland. and after short tour
of the city in automobiles tomorrow

itol will be Captain Harris, Beck,
Wil5bach, Mcfarland, Philippelli,
Gougler, Lloyd, Eyster, Bell, McGann,
Mcfarland, Gipple, Wear, Fitzpatrick,
Miller. Snyder, Garman. Lauster, Todd,
Peiffer, Evans and Frank.
According to the number of inquir-
les already made there will likely be
100 rooters to cheer the Maroon to
victory when the kick off is made at
o'clock tomorrow afternoon. They
will leave at 8 o'clock tomorrow
morning. Tech is confident of coming
back with another scalp dangling from
it's belt. In the two preceding games
Tech has lost These two defeats they
hope to retrieve by winning to-mor-
rows battle Both teams will enter
the battles without having lost game
this year.

PLAYED Saturday at Athletic park.
From Harrisburg high comes the re-

is in prime shape for the contest and
will come to Greensburg, full of hopes
for victory.
The Harrisburg boys have assured
themselves that Greensburgs team
this year is not up to the strength of
former years and on these grounds
they are feeling sure of thir own Prov

coach, Victor Younkins and his var
