Margin Of Profit Small.
Altho the prices received are high
the margin OF profit is much less than
is generally believed. It is said on,
careful analysis of cost OF production.
that the baby beeves cost the feeders
almost 20 cents a pound. This esti-
mate is arrived at by listing the feed
at the market price. by charging the
producer the price for his feed he
would have received on the market
had he sold the feed instead Of fed it
to the stock
