SUDAN HAY MARKET SEEMS
SLOW IN LUBBOCK

Marketing for the large forage
crop Of Lubbock county. win be a
problem as hard to deal with success
fully we believe as getting sufficient
farm help. Already farmers who have
cut and baled their hay are finding
that market conditions are anything
but favorable.
One man with whom we talked on
the streets this week with fine load
OF Sudan. says that he was offered
s1250 ton for IL. or about one
fourth OF what brought during the
winter months.
We understand the County Agent
ls working on plans now to help the
farmers in marketing of the large
forage crop and believe this step to
be appropriate for the time being.

SUGGESTIONS To SUPPLY SHORTAGE Of LIVESTOCK

Mr. Martin Says Fine Way to Realize Good Prices VIII be

that number Of our boys are al
ready lined up with the County Dem
onstration department through the
pig clubs over the county, and told
US Of plan that was being used in
that state financed by the banks and
packers. which is putting the boys all
over the state in the pig business,
and they are making big money and
at the same time are furnishing
thousands Of fine hogs for the mar
kets. The plan is something like
this. The banks put up enough mon
ey to buy a registered and bred sow,
the bank is to receive two pigs from
the first litter and the boy is oblieat-
ed to sell a pig to another boy on the
same terms that he bought his, there
by forming and endless chain scheme
that is resulting in many Of the boys
being in the pig business and selling
thousands Of hogs each year.
There is great demand for meat
hogs also cattle and sheep, and the
supply win simply have to be grown
as so many livestock Of every kind
were put on the market on account
of the dry weather, over large por-
tions Of the United States that the
supply Of breeding stuff is very low,
and the fellow that directs his atten-
tion to breeding herds now will, win
out.
We believe his suggestions are
good and practicable, and hope that
our people will take this suggestion
from a man with practical experience.
Our farmers are sure to have more
feed stuff than they can sell on the
market and will have big surplus
Why not sell some Of it in the form
Of fed livestock.

ing after business matters. He IS
wen pleased with the conditions and
prospects in the Lubbock country,
and though he has been in Lubbock,
many times, he notes the greatest
Improvement in the town this time
than on any previous trip.
He notes also the great increase in
acreage Of our land that has been
put in cultivation during the past
year or so, and the large number Of
new homes that dot the country over.
and the improvements that have
been placed on the land.
Mr. Martin says that he has loaned
for his bank large sums Of money to
cattlemen all over the Lubbock coun-
try in years gone by, and never have
they sustained loss, which would in
dicate that the business from this sec
tion been entirely satisfactory. and
from the trend Of his conversation,
we Judge that they have plenty more
money that they are willing to put
out to these stockmen when they
need IT,
Speaking Of the tremendous feed
crops in this section, Mr.. Martin says
every farmer should feed bunch Of
livestock cattle, sheep or hogs, as
this is the best way to get good prices
for their surplus feed. He says this
is being done in Oklahoma, and for
many years the farmers have been
making big money off their crops
even when the market for feed
stuff was dull
