Farmers Of Io,ra Last
Year Raised $500, 600
Worth Of Baby Beef
Special to Times -Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Ames, Feb 25.A1n estimated round
numbers, the farmers Of Iowa pro-
duced about $s.60o.o00 worth of baby
beef" for the butchers block and the
steak consumers table the last year.
and during the same period OF time
they produced Approximately 500, 00O.-
600 worth Of pork. These figures are
estimates made by Prof. w. II. Pew.
head OF the animal husbandry Depart
ment Of Iowa State College.
Considering the tenth Of billion
dollars the Iowa farmers raised in
the form Of pork in the year. and the
fact that there are $4,000 farms In
the state, the farmer on the average
did not raise an extraordinary large
crop OF pork to build up the enormous
total represented by the state. The
average for the individual farm in
Iowa was not high on number of head
of pork, the figure being about twenty
five head per farm.
The breed popularity for swine in
Iowa is not one-sided in favor Of any
one particular breed. There are all
the breeds, but the honors for num-
bers are divided about equally between
the red hogs and the black hogs-the
Durocs and the Polands
The farmers of Iowa gradually are
coming to see the beef situation as the
college animal husbandmen have fig
ured it out. and that is, the iowa
farmer, on $50 and $500 an acre land.
should be in the "baby beef business
to make the fairest profits on grade
cattle for beef.
The growth Of the popularity OF the
silo in Iowa is shown by an estimated
figure on the number of silos in the
state. Prof. NJ. F. P. CoStelloe, act
ing head Of the department Of farm
engineering, says there ae now $4,000
silos scattered over the state on these
224,000 farms, which is in the prac-
tical ratio Of one silo to every ten
farms. The Iowa farmer, therefore, is
coming to see the wisdom of silage.
and one this year does not have to
travel far between farms that have
silage on them.
The silos are bigger than they used
to be built. The prevailing size a few
years ago was I20 tons; now the aver.
age size is $50 tons, the general
average being 40 tons. Last year
about 1900. 900 tons of silage were put
up in Iowa, in spite of the wet season
with it's accompanying plenty Of
forage crops. Last year tho wet
weather slumped silo building, yet
1000 were put up in the state.

one or two of the deeper "polders"
