is THE DROP IN LIVE STOCK
PRICES DUE TO AGITATION
OR MANIPULATION?

The Public
Whether or not the Kenyon bill Of
fers the best means of controlling the
Five Big Packing domination of food
stuffs, the hearings on that measure
are enlightening enough as to the
necessity for some kind of control.
Nothing has testified so convincingly
or more eloquently to the domination
Of the Big Five as the flood of cattle
raisers, farmers, and retailers who
have gone to Washington to urge
Congress to- stop all agitation upon
the subject. Most of these men have
no affiliation whatever with the pack
ers. 1t is apparent, however, that
many of them are testifying through
fear. The enormous quantity of
meat now being held in cold storage
by the packers are sufficient to provide
the country's needs for a considerable
time, during which they can well af-
ford to cease buying. The result has
been drop in prices paid for hogs
and cattle. The drop has been ignor-
antly attributed by the exploited cat
tie raisers to the agitation and not to
the manipulations of the packers. The
very fact that a mere handful of men
possess the economic power to mani
pulate prices is in itself powerful
argument for some form of control.
Government ownership and opera
alton of refrigerator cars are recon-
mended by the Federal Trade Com
mission will be a more important ele-
ment in controlling the meat packers
than the licensing provisions which
are being urged. Licensing has many
doubtful features, and has been in
most instances where applied a weap-
on in the hands of privilege rather
than in the hands of the Government
The Federal Trade Commissions rec
|ommendation, however, gets to the very
heart of the food question and the
figures that accompany it go far to
explain the nature of the packers grip
upon American markets. They now
own more than 80 per cent of the
equipment suitable for the shipment
of fresh beef. Moreover, there APP
pears to have been the grossest kind
Of discrimination by railroads against
the independent packers who are
fortunate enough to own cars. The
figures show that the cars of the Big
Five received 60 per cent greater mile
are per day than those Of their COM
petitors. Such facts explain the DOM
nance Of these five firms in the face
Of their admittedly inferior efficiency.

cess to transportation, such rs would
be guaranteed by government-owned

WINTERING STEERS AND
BEEF COWS TO ADVANTAGE
Principal Object Should be to Garry
Through Cheaply Without Losing
Flesh.

Agricultural College News Notes
The principal object in wintering
stock cattle is to carry them through
cheaply without letting them lose
much flesh. II is poor economy to
underfecd cattle in the winter time
and let them lose much that has been
gained in the summer time. Heavy
feeding Of calves and yearlings in
winter Is expensive and reduces the
gains they viii make on grass the
following summer when gains are
cheap.
Straw, sugar-beet pulp and sugar
beets can and should be used to ad-
vantage. Cows can be wintered on
good hay alone, or on 80 pounds of
katir silage and lib cottonseed meal
per day. Alfalfa hay or upland hays
make good rations in themselves,
while with prairie or cane hay or Su-
an grass, il will be better to give
some extra feed especially to cows
that are to drop calves.
Some shelter is advisable in winter
even though only wind-break. Where
there are plenty of trees, cattle can
often get along very well with these
for shelter. The following are some
representative rations that might be
used in wintering stock, where fatten-
ing for market is not desired:
/: 20 lbs. hay (alfalfa or park hay.)
2: % lbs. cane hay or cotton fodder,
10 cotonseed cake.
3: 80 lbs of cane or kafir silage, I
lb cottonseed meal.
