lis the price Of beef high?"
This question is heard on all sides
today. The producer says, mo, con-
sidering the price get for my cattle"
The consumer says, "Yes." So there
you have It. But whatever the right
answer, the fact remains that prices
may go higher If there is not enough
beef to supply the demand for juicy
steaks and rib roasts with brown
gravy.
On the other hand. prices may de-
cline If an over-supply is produced.
What is the present situation? We
have today less beef In sight than for
several years, according to reports to
the United States department of ag-
griculture, which is kept closely ad-
vised as to conditions on the ranges
and In the markets. The present price
Of feeding stuff, scarcity Of farm la
Dor, reduced numbers Of breeding AMI
mails, and a small margin Of profits
to the producer the past year are all
factors which tend to limit produc-
ton, and impress upon us the i'm
portance Of maintaining production and
producing beef as cheaply as possible.
Utilize Pastures to Utmost.
For an answer to this question, we
must look to Mother Earth. This Is
springtime, the crops are planted, the
grass is growing, and the cattle are
on the green. This means, In its last
analysis, utilize pasture to the limit,
conserve roughages to the utmost and
produce forages and feeding stuffs
which viii make the most beef at least
cost.
The bureau Of animal industry of
the department of agriculture has for
several years been studying the prob
lem Of utilizing these feeds to best
advantage. In 1914 the department,
In cooperation with the West Vir-
ginia agricultural station, began
series of beef cattle experiments in
Greenbriar county, West Virginia, to
solve beef production problems in the

Search for Carbon Black.

Carbon black Is one of the vanish
ing products for which no substitute
Is yet in sight. This is velvety black
pigment, vastly superior to the gray
ish lampblack from oil, and is pro-
duced by burning natural gas in air.
1t constitutes most of the 3O,OOO,OOO
pounds of black used yearly in the ink,
polish, pigment and rubber industries
of the United States. In making 1t,
only 1.5 to 3.5 per cent of the total
carbon in the gas is recovered, and
the approaching exhaustion of natural
gas makes necessary new source OF
raw material. G.. ST. PerrOtt and X.
Thiessen, bureau of mines investiga-
tors, report little result so far from
their search among various liquid and
gaseous hydrocarbons.

Appalachian mountain region. This
station is located In the southwestern
part Of the state, In the blue grass
area, and the problems undertaken
are: First-Most economical and salts
factory rations for wintering beef
steers; second-The influence of these
rations upon the gains Of steers the
following summer from grass.
The results of the experiments ap-
ply not to West Virginia, alone, but to
all states having similar conditions
which, In fact, includes the whole
Appalachian region, extending frem
southern Tennessee to New York. 1t
Is within this general area that abund-
ant pastures, cut-over and waste land
is found, producing abundant pasture
Of high quality for beef production.
Abundant Pastures Available.
The South, with its delightful eli
mate and long grazing period of approx
imately ten months of the year, where
carpet grass, Bermuda and other kinds
almost equally as nutritious abound
over the plains, the cut-over regions
and waste lands Of this area the
Great Lakes region, properly termed
SLOWER land" where millions of acres
today are not completely utilized by
i've stock, all provide abundant pas
ture that Is well adapted for beef
production.
The West, with Its vast plains, wide
prairies and the resources of forests
and streams, may be used by the beef
producer to even better advantage, al
though overstockIng is a factor not
to be overlooked.
VIII this vast area Of unused pas
ture be used for immediate produc-
tion7 No; It's more difficult prob
lem than that To use some of II In
wolves an expense not justified by pres
cnt prices of cattle.
The danger Of overstocking, with
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1920-07-23

its attendant loss in profit, is frequent
ly emphasized, but the decreased re-
turns due to overstocking should be
considered as well. When the num-
Der of cattle on given area fail to
keep the grass short. that which Is
allowed TO grow becomes less palat-
able and less nutritive. Moreover, OBJ
jectionable weeds are certain to gain
a foothOld.
Utilization Increases Land Value.
BY utilizing to the fullest extent
the land devoted to pasture the value
Of the land is increased and greater
profit results. A system of careful
management makes II possible to use
higher-priced land, than has heretofore
been used for such, for profitable beef
production. The intelligent use Of
pastures gives return which COM
pares favorably with that from the
cropping system, but requires less la
Dor.
1t is not possible to state just how
many cattle should be allowed to the
acre for grazing purposes, because this
is determined largely by the quality
and stand of grass which is, Of course,
variable.
In conclusion, 1t may be said that
the beef producer In most sections who
will obtain the largest net returns is
the man who will stock his pastures
so that the grass is kept fairly short,
but In good condition.

II the present progress In making

A committee of seven was appointed
In this county to have charge of the

the records of the local exemption
board were closed, list was compiled
of all registrants of the county who
had entered the service by enlistment
or induction, the date of entry into
the service and the camp to which
they were first sent. Newspaper files
were combed to obtain as many addi-
tiOnal names as possible. The list
was then published in the newspaper
with the request that all names not
included be reported to the war rec
crds committee.
questionable then was mailed to
each service man or woman. Follow
up letters were used to insure the re-
turn of the questiOnnaires. The ques.

EXIT THE HUSBAND KNOCKER
Position Which the Fair Sex
Has Won for Itself.

The husband knocker is a thing of
the past, according to Anna Steese
Richardson In Peoples Magazine.
"When line after line of industry
opened its doors to women" she says,
when colleges and technical schools
trained her for lucrative positions,
when the daughter of the house was
given latchkey which matched her
brothers, and when two or three bust
ness women gathered together In flat
and made 1t blossom into home.
where they could rest after the days
work and wash their hair and crepe
de chine 'undies' on Sunday, the sex
made the amazing discovery that 1t did
not have to marry In order to live and
be respected. Girls who did not like
the first man who offered himself
could take chance Of waiting for the
Onliest man. without fear of hunger.
shabbiness or ridicule.
"And when girls of this sort do mar
ry, they play the game in the sports
manlike fashion which is the result of
business experience, of climbing down
from the pedestal of sex to mingle
with men In everyday life, under the
same conditions with which their hus-
bands must wrestle six days in the
week-and some nights They may
have lost some illusions about the OPP
posite sex and its certain-teed ability
to love, honor and cherish, but they
have gained a better and broader un-
Outstanding of the temptations to
which men are subjected. They appre-
ciate the part which a peaceful, con-
genial home life plays In mans busi-
ness or professional career.
These modern wives look with
scorn on the woman who does not
share her husbands interest in bust
ness, who will not listen-and enjoy
his recital of the days events down
town-and who does not match his
fight on overhead at the plant with
rigid household budget. They feel
nothing but contempt for the wife who
whines.
