Feed or Sell Grain Is Question

A large number of inquiries from
Oklahoma farmers regarding the ad-
visibility of feeding or selling their
grain indicates that they are careful
iy studying this question, according
to W. L. Blizzard, head of the depart
ment of Animal Husbandry at the A.
and M. College. To sell the corn, cat
tie and hogs at the present prices
surely means big loss advises Prof.
Blizzard.
"unquestionably much money has
been lost by feeders in the past two
years." he says. "Many feeders rea-

Make Farm Inventory At Years End

With another season of farm work
drawing to a close, the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture is urging that an
annual property list or inventory be
made by every farmer. 1t is the only
means, they say, whereby farmers
may know accurately their net worth,
what progress they are making from
year to year, and how their invest
ment in farm property is being dis
tributcd Property lists or inventories
made in accordance with a plan out
lined in the Office of Farm Manage
ment, U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, are not difficult to make and
are of great value to any farmer who
is striving to better his condition,
overcome obstacles to success, and
place his business affairs on a secure
foundation. To drift along year after
year, not knowing whether toward
success or failure, is not the practice
OF business men. Specialists of the
department are prepared to give COM
plete directions for making farm in
ventory that will put the farm on a
business basis.

about how badly the farmers in the

of the drop in cotton prices this fall.
There is no doubt that the fellow who

The editor IF this column ha, talked
to quite large number OF farmer
friends this fall and has learned one
fact that so far has no exception. 1t
is this. The fellow who depended upon
a big cotton crop this past year took
loss and is starting out the new
year in worse shape than last year,
but the farmer who undertook to raise
feed and food and meat and vegetables
along with smaller cotton crop, is
setting pretty easy with the world if
hsi crops turned out even half good.
