PROFIT FROM CATTLE
Live Stock More Value on Farm
Than Figures Indicate.
Uncle Sans Investigators Find That
Besides Direct Income Other Fac.
tors Must Be Considered.

That cattle In most cases add to
the farm income in the corn belt is in.
dicated by the results Of q recent in.
vestigation conducted by experts Of
Uncle Sans department Of agricul-
ture, as part Of comprehensive study
Of the meat situation, in which it's
specialists have been engaged for
some time. The results have shown
that the direct profit from the raising
Of calves, the average seems to estab.
lish, is usually small, but the inves.
tigators point out that there are other
factors which make the practice more
advantageous than would appear at
first sight.
Among these advantages, it is point.
ed out, are the fact that live stock on
the farm produces a home market and
means Of utilization of farm roughage,
some of which might be wasted if not
fed, and the use Of pastures which
could not be employed protitably in
any other way. Live stock also af-
fords a ready home market for certain
other crops, which at times would
have to be hauled considerable dis.
tances to be sold. Finally, the ex.
perts say, the presence Of live stock
on the farms gives productive employ.
ment throughout the year to labor
which at certain seasons might other
wise be idle. Live stock also gives
some interest on capital invested on
equipment, which would produce
nothing if not utilized at all seasons.
The fertilizing value Of manure also
must be considered, the officials say.
When these factors are taken into
consideration, even though there ap-
pears to be little or no profit as shown
by cost figures, it is believed that in
most instances the farm income Is
greater because of cattle having been
kept on the farm. The keeping of live
stock, therefore, say the investigators,
is to be recommended on farms hav-
ing large quantities Of cheap roughage
available or having land which can be
best utilized as pasture.

Three BIG COTTON STATES
Texas, Georgia and Arkansas Pro.
duced Nearly Three-Fifths Of the
Total Of tho Crop Of 1919,ed

Although cotton Is grown in 18
states. the combined product of three
Texas, Georgia and Arkansas, the
only states which produced more than
a million bales in 1916-represented
nearly three-fifths Of the total crop Of
that year, according to Uncle Sans
figures. Texas alone reported $685..
700 bales, or nearly one-third Of the
total crop; Georgia's output was l..
S20939 bales, or somewhat less than
one-sixth of the total; and that Of
Arkansas was 1,134Q3s bales, or near
ly one-tenth Of the total. '''|, =
Six counties reported the ginning
of more than 100000 bales each from
the growth of 1915. williamson coun-
ty, Texas, with 124,732 bales, was in
the lead, closely followed by Ellis
county, In the same state, with 1884,.
$40 bales.
The crop of 1851, 449, $50 equiv.
alent 5OO-pound bales-showed
slight increase as compared with the
preceding year, but with that excep-
ton was the smallest since 1909. The
crop of 1915 exceeded that Of 1915 by
about 25s, 900 bales, but fell below that
Of 1914-the largest ever grown-by
4,885, 900 bales, or 20 per cent.
Despite the marked falling off in the
crops of the last two years as COM
pared with that of 1914, the output Of
linters continues to show pronounced
increase. The high prices obtained In
recent years for this fiber, which Is
used extensively in the manufacture
of guncotton and smokeless powder,
have so stimulated the production of
linters that the yield per ton of seed
treated is now considerably more than
double that of few years ago.

Rev. James Gordon Says America

Hearty applause greeted Rev.
James l.. Gordon, pastor of the First
Conversational Church. when, in re-
sponse to an inquiry in his question
drawer last night, he declared that
America can win this war without
the aid of Russia or any other ma
tion. 1t was SOME moments before
quiet could be restored and it is evil
dent the preachers sentiments awak-
ened responsive chord throughout
the large audience present.
American can win without the aid
of Russia, or Italy. or any other ma
ton, and what's more, she's going
to do it, too" said Mr.. Gordon.
The suffrage pickets ought to be
put in prison for subjecting President
Wilson to SO many annoyances dur

of the nation. was DR.. Gordon's be-
lief, and il they want to die by star
walton, that is their own lookout,
and they should be granted that priv
ilege without the necessity of using
force to feed them, he thought.
In response to another question.
Does prophecy indicate that the
Jewish nation will come to the front
in this war;" DR.. Gordon seemed
to think that the war is more and
more centering around Palestine, and
the situation would appear to Justify
the feeling that some of the scrin-
turai prophecies are about to be full
filled.

Other Plan Suggested
For Holiday Charity

An appeal has been made to the
people Of Washington to make
Thanksgiving Day of the coming year

poor OF the city.

dinner on that day to many Of the
poor families is frowned upon by the
Associated Charities officials, who
voiced the opinion that the money
spent In such a way would serve the
recipients much better were it dis
tributed over a period OF several days
Or weeks rather than condensed into
one days foodstuffs.
