eORN-FEO STOCK PUT on GOOO WEIGHT

]. Link Wilson IL we'll satisfied with
the results of his cattle feeding ex-
periments In Nebraska for the weight
that has been added tc, the stock al
ready justified him in the venture. All
shrinkage has been overcome and an
increase added in weight for in ~ days
the cattle averaged approximately 3.22
pounds q day.
1t is confidently believed that many
other stockmen Of Powder River coun-
ty and southeastern Montana in the
following years will adopt the cattle
marketing plan as tried this year by
Mr.. Wilson, and instead Of rushing
all Of the stock to market and accept
ing any old price some Of the animals
will be detcured to Nebraska feed lots
and fattened. The increase in weight
together with the better market con-
ditions that prevail early in the year
will more than compensate for the ex-
ira care Of the cattle.
The Wilson ranch on Big Powder
river il regarded as one Ct the best
in southeastern Montana and Is an
ideal location for taking care of thou
sands of head of cattle that could rec
cetve the finishing touches in corn

A SQUARE DEAL FOR TIL
FARMER.

II know that when the farmer
sells his fat cattle for from 3 to
8 scents q pound on foot and then
goes into a real first-class res
taurant and pays from 80 cents
to $50 for a good beefsteak, he
feels that he has not got his
rightfnl share out of the cattle
sold by him; and he has not.
When he sells a bushel Of toma-
toes for less than a dollar and
pays q quarter for one average
size tomato sliced and served in
q dish, or sells his clip Of wool
alto cents q pound and buys it
back in q suit of clothes at from
$500 to 5000 a pound, the con-
viction grows stronger that he is
not getting a q square deal. He
sells his fat hogs at from s to 10
cents a pound and pays from 40
to vs. cents for an order Of ham
for breakfast bacon. And so
with everything he produces on
the farm fol, market.
IF the farmer were like some
other classes. he would go on a
strike 90 far as producing a sur
plus is concerned. When he fig
ures his cost of production for
the past year, he cannot. be any
profit for him in his work on the
basis of what he receives for his
surplus. The manufacturer, when.
he gets overstocked and the price
of his product does not yield him
profit, shuts down his plant.
So does the mine operator. The
merchant win not buy goods un-
less their sale will OF yield Hmm
q profit. When the railroad COM
panies find that trains are not
profitable. they are annulled.
Now what would happen if
McNairy County independent. (Selmer, McNairy County, Tenn.) 1902-1969, 1921-09-16

the farmers should do as people
in other lines of activity do when
certain of their operations cease
to be profitable? If the farmer
ceased to produced a surplus, all
other activities would cease, be-
cause all other activities are de-
dendent upon the surplus pro-
ducts of the farmer for their life.
People in all lines of activity
must eat, and they are depend
ent upon the farmers surplus
for food.
IF the farmers were inclined,
they could all strike with compe-
TENT organization that would
McNairy County independent. (Selmer, McNairy County, Tenn.) 1902-1969, 1921-09-16

that is that he is a consumer OF
food and his only available source
of supply is the surplus produced
for market by the farmer. He
should know that the farmer can
live, with SEINE Inconvenience,
without producing much surplus,
but that he, (the non-producer)
cannot live without the farmers
surplus, and for that reason, if
for no other, he should lend his
cooperation in every way possi-
BILE to aid the farmer in getting
a fair margin of profit for his
labor.
When sensible people realize
to the full the important part the
farmer plays in the very life of
the country, they will help in
stead of hinder him. A policy
that is a handicap to the prosper
ty of the farmer is as unwise as
was the tabled foolish fellow
who killed the goose that laid the
golden egg.
If we want to insure a sur
plus of foodstuff being produced
~ the farmers, they should be
elped to build good rood roads,
FOOD schools and churches in the
ountry. When those advantage
5 are provided in the country
istricts, non-producers of farm
roducts in the cities and indus
Eial centers need have no fear
a shortage of farm products.
ithout such facilities, there
ay be grave fears Of such a
lamity,"
