low price as being on account OF the
low weight of the cattle. He fed
them all winter and when put on
the market were under weight about
$50 to 200 pounds, thereby illustrate
ling the poor judgment used In buy
ing the stock just because they were
cheap. His motto is. well bought
stuff is half sold"
He referred several times to Mr..
Valentines talk, the two gentlemen
practically agreeing on every partic-
ular in buying. feeding and market
ing. ..
He advocated that the farmer do
ing his farming in the proper sea-
son and then to buy q few feeders
for winter and not any more than
he could handle proftably. Mr..
Rhinehart laid stress on the silos
and utilizing the farm by-products.
He also mentioned the importance
Of geighing your stuff regularly and
then II you found that the stuff was
not doing well on certain feed, 1t
could be changed even several times
during the season thereby assuring
fat stun for the coming market.
He also called attention to the fact
that the farmer could not afford to
use his land in this vicinity for graz
ing cattle as It was too valuable for
crop purposes, but that he should
buy a few feeders for winter feeding.

other stock and as . stimulant to
your own as well as the stock bust
ness of Idaho. :.
He explained how one party last
year took some stock to the show
which he thought would undoubt-
eddy take the blue ribbon, and when
the show was over he had to return
home with only third place. But
he had learned wherein his stun was
not tip top, and this experience alone
could not be measured in dollars and
cents. There Is absolutely no charge
for entry or to the show and Mr..
Taylor closed with again extending
an invitation to all Idaho stockmen
to attend their next show.
Another College Man
Mr.. F. E. Rhinehart. who is con-
nected with out state university at
Moscow, was the next speaker and
he gave very educational and in
struction talk.
Mr.. Rhinehart's talk covered prac-
tically every phase of the stock in
dustry. from the time Of buying the
stock until they are placed on the
market. He first laid particular en-
phasis on we'll bought stock. He
called attention to a party last year
who bought some STUFF at 8 cents
because he thought it was an excep-
tionally good buy, and explained the

the banks would not loan q cent To-
speculative purposes.
In Mr.. Valentines opinion tn,
present condition Of the stool
market was brought on In q grea
measure by the laxity of the bankers
and stock loan companies in not us
Ing enough discretion in making
their loans the past two or thre,
years, explaining that the speculative
buying Of the differenct stockmer
naturally tended to boost tn,
market. He also explained tha1
good faith kept with your banker
would naturally increase your credit
standing in the community, and
when your banker gives you advice
you we're obliged to use that advice
as 1t was thru your bank that you
were enabled to carry on your stock
business.
He also called particular attention
to the prevailing custom in this sec.
ton and in every section of the
country Of the farmer investing his
hard earned money in different stock
companies of questionable reputa-
ton. He cited several instances
wherein the man selling this stock
was not interested in your welfare
as much as he was in making his
commission Of rs to 80 per cent in
unloading the worthless stock. He
particularly emphasized this point,
"Stick to your own game and let the
other fellow follow his game" and
when stockbroker explains the get
rich-quick qualities Of his PROPOSE
ton, tell him, "No!" right of the
bat, explaining to him that you are
we'll able to take care Of your own
money.
Mr.. Valentine sounded grave
note of warning to the stockmep dur
ing the course of his talk In that
we are at present passing thru the
worst period ever experienced in the
stock industry, and that it called for
a showdown and would require the
closest relation between the banker
and the stockmen. He explained
how it was the bankers duty to help
the stockmen thru this year; how
ever, he also called attention to the
necessity of the stockmen in turn
keeping absolute faith with the
banker, in his buying and caring for
his stock
He closed his address by mention
ing several instances of what result
the proper feeding would do and es-
pecially called attention to a prom
inent stockman north of Soda
Springs, who by studying his feed
very closely and by handling we'll
bred stuff had sold his output for
1918 at an average of 1854 per head
and 1919 at $144, wherein his neigh
Dor had put his stock on the same
market at the same time and only
realized $8O.85 as an average.
In Mr.. Valentines opinion the
stockmen have just reason to feel
proud of their profession and he in
turn cited innumerable instances of

BY having many feeders in a To-
cality they can exchange ideas, and
IL 1t is made a business by many,
instead Of few, 1t creates a better
market for our products and becomes
more successful as time goes on. The
feeding of livestock has assisted In
making many farmers of our eastern
states wealthy, and there is no rea-
son why the same result cannot be
accomplished in the west, especially
in Bingham county, as this county
has the name and reputation of pro-
ducing the most pounds of meat for
the least food consumed on account
of the most favorable climatic con-
ditions. 1t excells any section Of
Utah, Washington, or Oregon, and
the only localities which are close
second is Laramie county, Colorado,
which is so popular for its lamb feed
ing, and the Big Hole basin in Mon
tana, which is noted for its cattle
feeding and beef production.
Il have had many years Of practi-
cal experience producing and hand
ling livestock and speak from prac-
tical experience. Let US, as q COM
munity, unite in making Bingham
county one of the largest meat pro-
ducing section of the west by all
feeding some stock for market each
year. I know the banks of Black
foot will assist you along the lines
/ suggest and will do all they can
to assist you to make success, as
your success is ours, and your banks
are only as prosperous as its patrons.
Carl Valentine Advises
Probably the most important ad-
dress of the evening was delivered
by Carl A. Valentine. president of
the First National bank of Pocatello,
who formerly was one Of the great
est cattle barons in our intermoun-
tain west.
Mr.. Valentine traced his advent
into the stock business from his very

bought at 81 per head to his retire.
ment few years ago when he and
his associates were running and OPP
Grating $4,000 head of sheep. Dur
ing the course of his talk he men
toned several little instances that
are well known to the older stock
men of Bingham county, and thru
his entire talk held the attention of
his audience while enumerating the
different instances that were instru-
mental in building up his present
monument of success in his chosen
profession.
Mr.. Valentine particularly laid
stress on the Importance of the cor
rect feed, the time of feed and the
amount of feed necessary to place
our stock in tip top shape for the
market. Probably the most import
ant part of his address was his guar
antee to the stockmen of the bank
ers' backing them during the present
crisis in so far as is consistent with
good banking, but made it clear that

Local Bankers Views
E. M. Kennedy said in part: What
we have here in Bingham county is
q farming countryside best in the
west, and what we should do, is to
farm better and produce more
marketable crop; then feed livestock
In the winter to help accomplish
these results, namely by feeding live
stock to get fertilizer. You have
made profit If you are only get
ting your fertilizer and your own
money back for your feed and live
stock. Our farmers are not fitted
to run livestock the year around,
as they have no natural pastures,
and they cannot afford to pasture
other good productive farm lands,
or neither can they afford to run
livestock on the ranges in the sum-
mer, as this has been proven any
thing but profitable, for while he at
tending one business, the other suf-
fers.
What farmer should do. is to
devote his entire time and attention
to his farm in summer, then buy
feeders from the real stockmen in
the fall fer winter feeding.
The thing is sure, the price of hay
cannot be considered by producer
VINO expects to feed 1t himself, be-
cause, he grows it to feed and not
to sell. And by feeding it he gets
the full value in return, regardless
OF price, and this is the only way
he can get full value for he cannot
afford to see it leave the farm at any
price for he needs it to build up his
farm and to increase fertility of the
soil.
There are also many things to be
considered in the way of preparing
, hay to accomplish the best results.
There is certain time when you
should cut the hay when it contains
the most food value; also way to
put it In the stack, then how much
and how to feed, and, of course, this
is all learned by experience.

Having some kind of harvest home festival or home
coming every autumn when the frost is on the

the great fortunes and monuments
of success that have grown out Of
the stock business. He summed up
his talk with the following short,
arm jabs:: stick to your own game;
feed the best of feed and at the right
time; keep absolute faith with your
banker; do not speculate in the stock
market; be satisfied with q reason
able margin Of profit; lay away that
dollar for the inevitable rainy day;
and always do your best to uphold
and add credit to one of the oldest
and most honorable vocations of the
west"
An Agricultural College Man
Mr.. e. J. Felstead, a recent arrival
In Bingham county gave q short but
interesting talk, he having been
closely connected with the stock
business for number of years. He
pointed out the wisdom Of the silo
which is by the way in its infancy
in Bingham county, and explained
the great saving to the farmer by
utilizing his farm by-products In this
manner. Mr.. Felsted stated that he
had travelled all thru the Pacific
northwest and after studying very
closely the feeding qualities, climatic
conditions. and natural resources of
the different localities, had decided
to locate in Bingham county, and
Bingham county is indeed glad to
welcome Mr.. Felsted as one Of her
sons.
