MARKETING OF
BEEF CATTLE
Discussion of Methods in Vogue
and 0bjeCtiOnaI Features
and the Remedy
DEMAND IN EXCESS OF SUPPLY
During the Past Several Years, Due
to the High Price of Beef in Any
Form, the Manner of Marketing Has
Had Little Attention from the Farm
er-Producer Should Fortlfy Him
self Against "SIumps."
(By c. D. Lowe, Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee.)

(By c. d. Lowe, Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee.)
An old adage is, In the time of
plenty prepare for famine" and it APP
plies mighty well to the marketing of
live stock. Taking for example. from
the general field of live stock, the sub
ject of beef cattle and particularly
that class known as feeders" let US
consider it.
During the past several years, due
to the high price of beef in any form,
the manner of marketing has had lit
tie attention from the producer The
demand seemed far in excess of the
supply and prices received were large
ly the prices asked Now conditions
are not apt to always remain SO, in
fact this present season has expert
enced dullness in feeder" demands.
1t therefore behooves the producer to
look into this matter, with a view to
fortifying himself against such
"slumps,' whether local and artificial,
or general and natural.
The method, 80 general in parts of
Tennessee, of feeders contracting
their cattle from dealers for a more
or less definite feeding period at a set
margin of profit, has many disadyan-
tages to both the grazer and feeder
Competition among dealers is not
keen enough many times to bring out
the full value of the grazer's product.
The profit of the dealer goes neither
to the grazer nor the feeder, those
who most deserve it. The feeder be-
comes merely a machine and loses all
his individuality in the transaction.
He merely takes what is given him
and feeds it the agreed period, feeling
that he is sure of at least nominal
profit. Adverse conditions many times
overtake the dealer, preventing him
from taking up the cattle, which
spells disaster to the feeder.
There is undoubtedly an opportunity
for grazers of each section to coop
crate in their selling, by designating
one or more of their number as a
marketing committee to deal direct
with the feeders. The same opportu-
nifty exists for the feeders when they
sell their finished product.
The Division of Extension will be
glad to assist in any legitimate ca
pacity in seeking solutions of such
problems as this, and solicits CORE
spondence regarding same.

ONE WAY OF LOOKING AT 1T
by R. M. Murphy, Division OF Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)

Results obtained in a series of ex-
periments at the Tennessee Expert
ment Station to determine the amount
of beef that can be produced per acre,
show for seven different acres on
which have been grown as many DIFF
ferent combinations of crops, an aver
age production for seven years of $50
pounds of beef. The same crops have
been grown on each acre each year
and only the manure resulting from
feeding the crops produced on each
OF the acres has been returned to it.
Silage produced elsewhere was fed
with the product of each acre.
With beef cattle selling at cents
per pound 1,000-pound steers with
margin of 81, allowing SO per ton for
silage, would produce a gross return
per acre of 1854. On this basis a
100.acre farm devoted exclusively to
beef production, with 20 acres pro-
ducing the main crops and the other
80 acres devoted to silage would re-
turn an income of $4,083.8O for the 10
acres, and allowing SO per ton for the
200 tons of silage necessary, or $500,
would make total gross income OF
$4,683.80. How many 100-acre farms
are producing as much?

Whereas, the Jewish citizenship of

their influence being always for NOR

BOTH GENERALS WILL
GO ON THE CARPET

Panama, Jan. 24.-Serious differ
arisen during the last few months
between Major Goethals, gov
ernor of the Panama canal zone, and
Brigadier-General Clarence R. Ed
wards, commanding the U. S. troops
in the zone, are to come to a head
at Washington when these two Off
cials reach the capital, according to
Governor Goethals. They sailed to-
day for the United States on the
steamer Calamares.
Governor Cocktails said before his
departure that criticisms alleged to
have been made by General Edwards
had reached the secretary of war
and that the secretary had requested
information ON the subject. The gov
ernor replied with an official commu-
nication in which he detailed the
troubles at considerable length.
Governor Goethals declared that
Gen. Edwards had had much to say
regarding the administration of af-
fairs on the isthmus especially with
reference to the methods and cost of
construction of many military build
ings under canal jurisdiction.
1t is understood that Gov Goethals
also resents many of the criticisms
General Edwards is alleged to have
made relative to the form of the ca
nal government General Edwards be-
lieving, it is said, that the military
and civil authority should be vested
in one person instead of separated as
at present.
General Edwards before leaving
Panama said that Governor Goethals
had been misinformed but otherwise
he declined to discuss the subject.
Governor Cocktails further an
nounced that he intends to give Gen
eral Edwards ample opportunity to
make whatever statements he thinks
before the secretary of
war and the congressional commit
tees.

The comparative yields given below
were taken from several years trial
of the three winter cereals at the Ex-
pertinent Station. bulletin No. 112)
Fulcaster Wheat, 1554.0 pounds per
acre.
Union Barley, 1882 pounds per
acre.
Culberson Oats, 1868 pounds per
acre
These weights represent the aver
ages produced upon rich bottomland
and fertile upland. Barley easily led
in yield, especially on the richer land
In other trials upon very poor upland
the results were in favor of wheat,
which is better forager under unfa-
vorable conditions, These are the
leading varieties of these grains.
The facts are significant to the
feeder. They point the way to greater
grain yields upon which greater acre

GOOD ROADS BILL
PASSES THE HOUSE

Washington, Jan. 25.--The Shackle-
ford good roads bill, carrying an ap-
preparation of $25,000,000 to aid the
States in improving their post roads,
was passed by the House late today
2S1 to 81. Three members voted
present"
States would share in appropria-
ton on the basis of their population
and the number of their post roads.
The money would be disbursed
through the various State highway
commissions.
Opponents of the measure insisted
that this proposed appropriation
would be only the forerunner to re-
quests for others of similar nature.
Representatives from the larger cit
les generally opposed the project on
the ground the roads would not be of
general benefit.
1t was freely predicted that strong
opposition would be encountered in
the Senate.
