GENERAL NEWS OF FISHING INDUSTRY
 AND FISH FLEET

1 Cans, cans, cans" is the cry o
 of Alaska. The fish are still run | ming by the hundreds of thousands
 and the canneries. practically out of cans, can see the end. Chatham
 cannery, owned by George T. Myers Company, has completed it's pack and has been forced to quit work
 on account of having no more cans Other canneries are making all man
 ner of arrangements to secure just few more cans to continue pack. ing their fish
 At Hawk Inlet and Funter Bay the fish are still being put up as fast as the cannery crews can han. dle them, but the management of both places expect to be forced to close within short time unless more cans are forthcoming
 The steamer Spokane, which sail ed southbound early this morning, had on board 15,000 cases of canned salmon, loaded at Chatham, Funter and Hawk Inlet canneries. The Spo- kane will make stops southbound and when leaving Ketchikan will have 22, 900 cases of canned fish in her hold.
 The fish arrivals on the water front today have been very light. The Morengen this morning unload ed 5000 pounds of halibut and mixed fish at the plant of the Glac- fer Fish Company. Three hundred salmon were received by the Ma tional Independent Company. The price for halibut has fallen off slightly and today "A cents is be | ing quoted to fishermen.
 The arrival of the steamer North. western this morning will slightly relieve the can shortage at one l cannery in this section at least The Northwestern brought 1000 cases of cans north consigned to the Hawk Inlet cannery, but through | dI MAiCL AdQ Dtcu lIlduc in Seattle the cans were delievered | to the Tee Harbor Packing Com. pany.

CALL NITRATE FIELDS
WARS NERVE CENTER

In an area of $50 miles Of arid. barren
desert in Chile lies the nerve center of
the great war. If an unfriendly power
had held control of this desert tract,
the war would have ended long ago
with the crushing of the entente allies.
1t is the famous Chilean nitrate region.
William Howard Russell, n famous
English war correspondent. wrote as
long ago as 1889: without British
the map of the world would be very
different today"
Germany now does not need to de-
pend upon the Chilean nitrate deposits
synthetic nitrogen. However, for six
months before the outbreak of the war
In 1914 Germany had been receiving
enormous shipments of sodium nitrate
from Chile. 1t is estimated in fact,
that Germany had on hand 1000, 900
tons of nitrate in August. 1914.
Some engineers say there Is enough
nitrate in the Chilean desert to supply
the world for 200 years. There are
about $4,000 Chileans employed In the
industry. Nothing grows in the region
about the nitrate deposits; it is n
dead land. To all appearances the
Chilean nitrate towns are like the old
time western American mining camps.
A great deal of liquor Is consumed in
the district. and consequently there is
considerable lawlessness.
North and Harvey, two British ad-
venturers. originally owned the nitrate
concessions. but now the Chilean gov
eminent controls most of the valuable
tract. Chile fought a war with Peru
for the northernmost part Of the nj
trate beds and won. The British,
through their financial strength, exer-
else the greatest control Of any foreign
power over the fields, though three
German brokerage houses were big
producers before the war.

the Horn" are by NO means what they
should be. Many old-timers state that
they used to do much better. Alfalfa
like other crops, will respond to ma
nuring.
The animals we can feed profitably
will always largely depend on the
amount of alfalfa we raise The more
animals we feed the more manure we
can preserve and apply to the land.
While in the humid region untime-
liness, or lack of rain, interferes very
frequently with getting maximum
yields, in the irrigating districts we
control this factor very generally.
Therefore, we can much more safely fig
ure on returns from other improve
ments of the productivity Of the soil.
The lack of a persistent and eff
cient production and application of ma
nure is probably the weakest point In
our system of farming. It is true that
farmer just getting started must pay
most attention to immediate returns
regardless of what the future may
Dflng, but we nave now large num-
Der of farmers expecting to farm the
same place for a long time, and many
landlords intending to hold their farms
as a permanent Investment. These
can well afford to spend some effort
along these lines, with good returns to
themselves and to the farming COM
munity as a whole.
From the above Il will be seen that
it is not alone the price per ton which
the farmer receives for his beets that
must be considered The feeding of
stock is very important factor not
only for profit, but also for the ma
nure. which. properly used, will large
~ increase. the beet yield
The beet industry has done more to
increase farm values in Colorado than
any other one thing, and 1917 will
probably see the largest acreage in the
history of the state.

sumo that it takes about is tons Of
alfalfa per steer as roughage to put
him in marketable shape. of course, to-
gether with other food. Therefore, we
have alfalfa enough to feed and finish
40 steers. There are available 20 acres
of beet tops which should be sufficient
If properly handled for finishing 20
steers. so that additional food would
have to be provided for 20 steers.
If within hauling distance of the fac
tory wet pulp and molasses is the
natural food to use. If the animals are
OF be sold with as good a finish as the
sugar company has found profitable, it
will take at least 10 tons of pulp and
700 pounds of molasses per head This
means purchasing 200 tons of pulp and
seven tons of molasses, or about 1920
worth of feed.
Not many farmers feed as many ami
mails as their alfalfa would allow them
even where they could obtain the wet
pulp. In the first place no GENERALLY
satisfactory system has been worked
out for feeding on tenant farms. In the
second place feeding is risky and has
to be learned. Unsatisfactory financial
returns are largely due to the fact that
the finish of the steers sold is not good
enough to command good prices, and
therefore the difference between the
price of the lean stuff bought and the
fat stuff sold is not big enough. While
sometimes profits are made on a
quickly rising market and short period
of feeding, in the long run this is not
the case.
In the Great Western Sugar COM
pany's feeding operations during the
last six years, the difference between
the price of 100 pounds lean stuff laid
down at the feed yards and the net
price received per 100 pounds fat stuff
net price means, actual money re-
ceiVed, less cost of freight and COM
mission--was $3.50. This difference
has fluctnated in the different years
between $103 and $2,93. A dollar diff
ference allows a large enough margin
to break even, provided the gains made
are large enough. A 900 pound steer
bought at Z cents cost s63. IF fed to
Loo pounds and sold at Sc per pound,
he will bring s96, allowing $36 for the
cost of feeding and handling with ac-
tual loss. II given the proper kind of
a steer, gains of 500 pounds during the

pulp and molasses do not seem to be
too high to expect.
An appropriate foods which could
be raised on the farm is corn silage,
which heretofore has not been used
much for cattle feeding. A ratio of 80
pounds good corn silage and Is pounds
alfalfa per head, if fed long enough,
should put a sufficient finish on the
cattle. On our good farms we can
figure on eight tons silage per acre
This would provide. at the rate given,
for one steer for $50 days. In case
mentioned above, in order to feed the
so tons alfalfa and 20 acres of beet
tops to 40 steers, We would need an
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1917-03-25

additional 60 tons of silage, or about
eight acres. There is no reason to be-
lieve that the feeding of corn silage
to steers. which is an established sue
cessful practice in the corn belt, should
be any less successful here, particularly
since it is only supplementary to Il
cheap food like beet tops
Quantity Of Manure Needed.
However, the present discussion is
not about the feeding problem. but
about providing manure for 20 acres
of beets every year. With our present
method of feeding at the factory yards,
and as most farmers do, We do not
produce enough manure. At our feed
yards it takes the manure of from five
to 10 steers for one acre. At this rate
40 steers will hardly provide for 20
acres unless the straw of the 20 acres
wheat is used for bedding. The yield
of straw may be estimated at one ton
per acre. Thus. 30 tons straw, with
the Weddings of the steers, the waste
had and the manure from the horses,
may produce about 100 tons manure.
allowing the use of about six tons per
acre of beets.
Generally speaking, very little at
tempt is made on or farms to fix up
the feed lot with regard to the best
possible way of providing and prescrv-
ing manure; and nothing will be done
until our farmers realize that the pro-
ductivity, even of our good farms, is
by no means what it should be, largely
on account of lack Of manure.
A large part of tho grain is now
threshod from the stacks. IT does not
cost very much more 10 build these
stacks near the feed lot, So that straw
can be blown right into the feed lot.
and feed lots might well be located with
reference TO this point.
Manure Is Needed.
4 large number of farmers siill think
that rotating with alfalfa without the
use Of manure. maintains or increases
the productivity of the land. Our cx-
periments along this line have not gone
far enough to publish figures. but the
indications so far are very clear that
rotating with alfalfa does not raise the
productivity very much above fields
planted to beets without manuring, and
not nearly so much as raising beets
after beets with manuring, let alone
rotating manured beets with wheat.
Furthermore our alfalfa yields. par
