LOOK BEFORE YOU QUIT

That farmers should observe a
stop, Look and Listen" signal before
deciding to quit the dairy business is
the conclusion of II. c. Taylor of the
agricultural economics department OF
the University of Wisconsin, In q re-
cent bulletin, Price Fixing and Cost
Accounting"
Mr. Taylor, himself dairy farmer
puts the case thus:
In deciding upon prices both the
farmer and the price commissioner
should keep in mind the longtime as
we'll as the immediate effect. 1t takes
decades to build up the dairy industry
in a community. Equipments REQUIRE
time for construction. Years are re-
quired to build up good herds and
decades are required to train a whole
community in the fine are of produc-
ing high-class milk. When such a
community in the fine art of produc-
w hhpthSi iitlt Vi tiie ldI
mers suffer a great loss while making
the change and while adjusting them.
selves to new lines of production, aft
er which they may again prosper.
"The records of one year may indi-
cate that the profits would have been
greater had the farmer been In an
other line OF production, but In going
oVr these figures. the farmer should
look for conditions which have made
this true If the conditions are tenn
porary he should hold fast to his
present line and recall the years
when his profits were much greater
because he was in the dairy business
ut is easy to dispense a good dairy
herd, but II takes years to rebuild II.
A much safer plan is to cut down a
little on the numbmer OF cows by cut
ting out the least profitable ones, and
plan to sell more grain and hogs in
addition to the milk rather than to
make radical change In the type OF
farming"

The next cooperative shipments

Cattle-Saturday, November 23rd.
Hogs-Friday, December 18th.
/ am offered 55c per Of 12fb gross
at present for sorghum and can no,
say that We will b. able to get higher
prices on shipping day. | think how
ever that good sorghum will be a
better price at this time.
The cattle shipment viii be last be-
fore spring.
On hog shipping day the weight sa-
quirements will be above 100 ibs. and
in nice shipping order. All hogs be-
low this weight viii be shipped next
April.
The corn market is around ST Is TO
S1-25 per bushel. and no farmer in La
fayette County can afford to haul com
to town at these prices. when we have
such high hog markets and better
prospects for a higher spring market
than we have had in years. Good
hogs will command good prices for
some time TO come and these farmers
who buy corn and feed hogs instead of
selling corn and marketing light
shoats. will be the ones who make the
greatest profits. For these reasons we
are encouraging the sale of corn
among farmers instead Of shipping
it.
The market for sorghum seed, peas
and peanuts hasn't opened up yet,
and don't get in a hurry and rush
these products on the market because
prices are sure to be better as the
season advances
We are listing hogs now for the
spring market and If YOU have shoates
that you intend getting in shape and
expect to ship comparatively, please
list them with me.
