LOOK AFTER.MEAT
DR.. McCampbelI Appeals for
Consideration of Question.
Both Producer and Consumer
Should Watch 1t Closely.

Hays, Kan, April IL Especially
The meat situation in this country de-
mands thoughtful consideration on the
part of both producers and consum
ers, DR.. C. w. McCampbell head of
the department of animal husbandry
of the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege. told cattlemen and farmers
gathered for the sixth annual round
up at the Fort Hays Experiment sta
ton today.
Doctor McCampbell cited figures to
show the decline in the number of
cattle, sheep and hogs during the past
several years. In 1900, he said. there
were $50 beef cattle. $50 hogs. and
At present these numbers have de-
clined to approximately $50 beef cat
tie, 500 hogs, and $50 sheep.
Markets and Production.
"Any material increase in our meat
supply will be determined largely by
two factors, stable central markets and
cost of production" he said.
THE violent unreasonable fluctua-
ton of prices in our central markets
in the past has been a potent factor
in retarding meat production and we
shall see a further curtailment in pro-
duction unless our central markets
become stabilized to an extent that the
producer is reasonably sure that meat
production is going to be a profitable
venture providing efficient methods of
production are practiced.
Meat producers may be grouped
under two heads, the breeder who
maintains his COW herd and produces
the raw material, and the finisher who
prepares the finished produce Each
is vitality interested in the cost of pro-
| duction, and this is the chief problem
We are trying to solve.
The cattlemen in the western Sec
| ton of the state are interested primar-
| lily in the production of raw material
and it is fortunate that the experiment
station has equipment that enables it
| to attempt the solution of the COW
mans problems under range condi-
| tons"
Other Speakers Heard.
| Other speakers to whom the cattle
men were to listen included Charles
R. Weeks, superintendent of the sta
ton; F. d. Farrell, dean Kansas State
Agricultural college, and w. M. Jar
dine. president of the college. Attend
ance at the roundup was good, in spite
| of heavy SHOWS which have made
roads in some adjacent sections almost
+, impossible.
| Results of several experiments were
| announced. One which attracted par
1 ticular attention was made to deter
mine the relative value of alfalfa ard
Russian thistle hay as cattle feed.
One Hundred Days for Tests.
Experiments made over 100 days,
with forty cattle divided in two groups
] of twenty each, indicated that pound
| of Russian thistle hay has approx
mately the same feeding value as a
pound of good alfalfa hay when fed
with silage and straw. The thistles
are considered a serious pest over
western Kansas, where they grow
with great prolificacy.
| Specialists at the station say the
lesser yield per acre does not make the
thistle a competitor in localities where
alfalfa is available. They do believe,
| however, that the weed offers an ex-
cellent substitute where alfalfa is not
| obtainabIe
