TELL FARMERS
TO RAISE BEEF
EXPERT URGES PRODUCTION;
EXPLAINS ECONOMICAL AND
PROPER FEED AND CARE.

P. S. Tomltnson, secretary OF the
Iowa Beef Producers association
talked to the members Of the Wapelle
County Farm bureau on the most EN-
cient way to, increase the beef pro
duction in this state at a meeting al
the Commercial club yesterday after
noon The election Of officers pre-
coded the talk and plans for q mem
bership campaign were discussed. II
was decided to complete these ar
rangements at a special meeting OF
the new board Of directors Saturday
January 26, at 1880 p. m.
G. F. Spry, president of the Com
mercial club, stated that plans were
made to secure as large member
ship as possible during the campaign
and Major T. p. Spilman was appoint
ed director of the farm bureau repre-
senting Ottumwa.
A large number of farmers heard
Mr.. Tomlinson who advised better
breeding, feeding and care Of herds ia
increase beef production. Hay and
silage were urged as preferable and
cheaper feed for beef cattle than the
more expensive grains. Silage and
quarter corn will result in less CON
sumption and allow the stock to gain
more weight, he declared.
Use pure bred stock to obtain the
best results, for scrubs do not put o.
flesh. Build more silos for the sflage
Substitute food not useful for any
thing else and reduce the cost Of raids
ing beef cattle and thus bring the
best results"
The officers were reelected and the
board Of directors are az follows:
D. A. Jay, Adams township; D. D.
