Price of Light Weight Cattle
Declining.

Due to the fact that many farm
ers have pu chased stocker ca tile at
very high figure, there is certain
amount of apprehension felt ovel the
present cattle market, which is con-
tinuing on tie decline.
1t will be difficult to show any
profit on "stockers" in spite of the
fact that we are having the best
grazing season that we have had for
many years.
There are several reasons for the
decline in cattle prices. Cattlemen
have made good profits in recent
years, especially last summer, which
has resulted in a heavier stocking up
by many farmers, and many new
farmers have entered the game with
the result that perhaps there has
never been more cattle on grass in
the United States than there are this
season. This combined with limit
ed demand from the packer, scarcely
any export demanded, and no big
army to feed, results in materially
lower prices.
The heavy runs of cattle come in
September and October, ard light
weight cattle will doubtless decline
$500 to $500 per cwt. This loss
will undoubtedly Offset any gain
which these cattle may make, and it
would be far better to sell pretty
close now when the market is fairly
satisfactory.

Columbus, Ohio, July 3, 1919.
Dear Folks at Home:
Well, / am here.
Without further introduction I
must say that this is some exposi-
ton. had no idea when | left home
that l was coming to celebration
Of this magnitude. It is not possible
to spend a single day here without
adding greatly to ones knowledge.
Each of the many exhibit palaces is
tremendously worth while, and day
spent in any one Of them is almost
as good as a months tour of the par
ticular country for which the building
is named. The best and the most in
teresting exhibits from Africa, India,
China, Japan, Malaysia, Latin Amer
lea, Korea, Philippines, Hawaii and
other countries have been brought
to Columbus for this exposition.
At least half day should be spent
in each one of the exhibit palaces.
In addition to the exhibits, outdoor
events of the greatest interest are of
fered daily, and although it is enlight-
ening to visit the China exhibitor
example-and see how the Chinese
live, it is difficult to resist the tempt
alton to go out in the open and watch
the aerial gymnastics of army avia-
tors who come here almost daily.
Pageants, parades, band concerts,
stereopticon views shown on the larg-
est screen in the world, wonderful
musical programs, Wild West enter
tainments and many novel exhibits
which | did not expect to see are
claiming my attention.
"The Wayfarer" is the most gor-
geous religious pageant ever present
ed In this great pageant there are
$500 participants and an off stage
chorus of 1000 voices. The scenic
effects are beyond my powers of de-
scription. The music is beautiful and
inspiring. This pageant alone is
worth the entire visit to Columbus.
The daily program is so filled with
events that it is impossible to enjoy
them all and it is hard to decide just
which ones would afford the most
profit. So you see may decide to
extend my educational vacation"
longer than | had planned, for there
is so much to see.
| surely hope you will decide to
come and see "the world at home."
Yours, I. L. HANCOCK.

Soil Fertilization

Soils of the central basin can be
divided into two general classes:
the brown chocolate colored phos-
phate soils, and the red Or yellowish
red soils. Both of these soils gener-
ally need lime and more legumes,
such as clover, cowpeas and soy
beans. These legumes should be fed
and the manure returned to the soil.
Acid phosphate has not generally
been profitable when applied to soils
of the first class. The soils Of the
second class have responded profit
ably to the use of 200 to 300 pounds
Of phosphate to the acre, particularly
when fertilizer is applied to legume
crops. On very thin soil of either
type, nitrate of soda at the rate of
rs to 100 pounds to the acre will Of
ten return a profit, but the margin
is usually small.
The treatment of gray soils of the
Highland Rim should be practically
the same as red soils of the basin,
except that cowpeas and soy beans
become relatively more important.
