No! Overnight it grows almost

Or the animal shrinks, grows

Other Cattle

Shortage of fall pasture accounts
for some Of the decrease in the mum
Der of cattle in Oklahoma as few
were shipped into the state while
many were loaded for pasture in
other states. Higher value of landi
labor ana feed, even freight rates,
have all had an influence on the pop
ularity of cattle raising as a farm
industry. In 1920 the farm value
per head was $500; in 1920, $40.
The cost Of production has also ris-
en- since ten years ago when hay was
$50 per ton OH the farm and corn
~ cents per bushel; on December ]
1919, hay was $15,10 and ccrn $1.27
Farm labor per month with board
was $1910 in oklahoma in 1910 and
$40.50 in 1918; average value o
farm land was $22.49 ii decade ago,
now $500 The low price of cotton
seed .hulls late in 1919. $500 com
pared with $4,000 in 1918, and meal,
$500 in 1919 and $500 in 1918, has
encouraged feeding in the vicinity
of oil mills; the mills reporting, in
dicate an increase in number of al
most 80 per cent over those fed
there in 1918.
In measure, marketing OF calves
is sale of producing stock. The
receipts of calves at the Oklahoma
City stockyards increased greatly in
1911, 1916 and 1917 and to a lesser
degree in 1918; decreased in 1915
and again in 1919 indicating a ten
dency to increase supplies.
Sheep
There is a growing interest shown
in sheep Rising in the state and
many farmers and ranchers are ad-
ding to their flocks. There are now
about three times as many sheep
in Oklahoma as in $40 and five per
cent increase over last year. The
value of rams has risen considera-
bly, in the past year, from an aver
age of $3.50 to $21.O0.
Swine
There has been a decrease from
1885 head of swine on farms in
1910 to $4,000 on January 1920 |
The receipts at hte Oklahoma City |
stockyards indicate a steady decrease
of about 100000 head yearly since |
1916 While high prices OF feed and |
comparatively low market value OF I,
hogs have had discouraging effect, |
