Money in Purebred Livestock
for Small Farmers

All farmers who are interested IN
the purebred livestock business cannot
engage 10 it IN large scale, but there
is no doubt but what more small farm
ers could take up the work in limited
way with profit to themselves and with
benefit to their community and county,
say livestock specialists Of the Division
of Extension, University Of Tennessee,
An example of such farmer may be
cited 10 the case Of ]. T. McSIadden of
.MadsonvilIe, Monroe County, In 1916
Mr. McSpsdded bought two registered
cows, two heifer calves and one bull
calf for the sum of $3.50. Since that
time be has sold $1,000 worth Of regis
tered cattle and has On hand Is head
mine of breeding age. three ysarling
'heifers and ak spring calves, Mr.
McSpadden says that he has some cows
that be would not take $500 each for.
To roughly estimate the herd at an av-
erage Of $3.50 1t would mean that ne
now has 50, 700 worth of purebred cattle.
His sale added to this and $3.50 (his
initial inyestmenO substracted, one can
see that this farmer from small.in-
vestment has produced So. $50 worth of
cattle In the past five years, or in other
words, $3.50 worth Of cattle per year on
q $3.50 investment.
The above herd of cattle has always
been handled in the most efficient way,
They have been fed so as to keep them
in good thrifty condition but no expen-
sive foods have been used. Mr., Nc
Spadden has prseticed selling off the
calves at weaving time. By this method
he disposes of the calves before. they
have consumed very much grain. No
calf has been sold for more than $500
or less than 800. In addition to this,
every animal has been sold to this coun,
ty showing that bis neighbors have,some
appreciation Of what he is doing.
Now Is the most opportune timeto
start In the cattle breeding business,
according to livestock specialists.
Good purebred stock can be purchased
at very low figure. All the people
who have been studying the livestock
business predicts higher prices in the
future. These who start now will be
able to buy livestock at low price and
reap the benefit Of better prices at q
future date.

| on the way to the elimination of pow
| erty.
Thru the eradication of illiteracy,
and the diffusion of education man
Kind has reached stage where wo
| may fairly say that in the u. S. equal
ity OF opportunity has been attained,
tho all are not prepared to embrace 1t.
There Is indeed. too great diverg-
ence between the economic conditions
| OF the most and the least favored
classes in tho community. But even
that divergence has now come to the
point where we bracket the very poor
and the very rich together as the least
fortunate classes. Our efforts may
well be directed to improving the
status of both.
While this set OF problems Is COM
monty comprehended under the general
phrase capital and labor" 1t is really
Justly broader. 1t 10 a question of
social and economic organization. La
bor has become large contributor
thru its savings, to the stock of capi-
tai; while the people who own the
tai, are themselves often hard and
earnest laborers. Very often 1t Is ex-
tremely difficult to draw the line OF
demarcation between the two groups;
to determine whether particular in
dividual is entitled to be set down as
labor or as capitalist. In a very large
proportion OF cases he IL both. and
when he is both. he is the most use
full citizen.
The right OF labor to organize Is
just as fundamental and necessary as
is the right of capital to organize. The
right OF labor to negotiate, to deal with
and solve Its particular problems, In
an organized way, thru Its chosen
agents, is Just as essential as Is the
right of capita1 to orRanfze to main
tain corporations, to limit the liabili-
ties OF stockholders. Indeed, we have
come to realize that the limited liabili-
ty of the citizen as . member OF
labor organization closely parallels the
limitation Of liability Of the citizen as
q stockholder in corporation for
profit. Along this limo of reasoning we
shall make the greatest progress to-
ward solution of our problem OF capi-
tai and labor.
In the case OF the corporation which
enjoys the provilege of limited la
bility Of stockholders. particularly
when engaged in the public service 1t
Is recognized that the outside public
has large concern which must be
protected: and so we provide regula-
itons, restrictions and in some cases
detailed supervision. Likewise In the
case OF labor organizations we might
well apply similar and equally well
defined principles of regulation and
supervision in order to conserve the
public's interests as affected by their
operations.
Just as It Is not desirable that
corporation shall be allowed to i'm
pose undue exactions upon the public.
so 1t Is not desirable that labor
organization shall be permitted to ex-
net unfair terms OF employment or
subject the public to actual distrcsscs
In order to enforce It's terms. Finally

There is the appeal for this expert
ment. Why not try 1t? None challen-
ges the right of the farmer to a larger
share of the consumers pay for his

10 justified in rcbelling against tho
transportation cost. Given fair re-
turn for his labor, he will have less
occasion to appeal for financial aid;
and given assurance that his labors
shall not be in vain. we assure all the
people of production sufficient to
meet our national requirement and
guard against disaster.
The basa OF the pyramid OF civiliza-
t1on which rests upon the soil is
shrinking thru the drift OF population
from farm to city. For a generation
we have been expressing moro or less
concern about this tendency. Econom-
lists have warned and statesmen have
deplored. We thought for time that
modern conveniences and the more in
innate contact would halt the move
ment, but 1t has gone steadily on.
Perhaps only grim necessity will cor
rect 1t but we ought to find a less dras-
tic remedy.
The existing scheme of adjusting
freight rates has been favoring the
basing points. until industries arc at
tracted to some centers and repelled
from others. A great volume of un-
economic and wasteful TRANSPORTATION
has attended and the cost Increased ac-
cordingly. The grain milling and meat
packing industries afford ample illus
trat1on, and the attending concentra-
tion is readily apparent. Tho menaces
In concentration are not limited to the
retaraing influences on agriculture.
Mantfestly the conditions and terms of
railway transportation ought not to be
permitted to increase the undesirabI
tendency. We have a Just pride in
our great cities. but we shall find a
greater pride in the nation, which has
q larger distribution OF its population
into the country, where comparatively
SELF sufficient smaller communities
may blend agricultural and manufac-
turing interests in harmonious helpful
ness and enhanced good fortune. Such
z movement contemplates no destruc-
ton OF things wrought. OF Investments
made, or wealth involved. II only
looks to q general policy of transpor-
tation. of distributed industry and of
highway construction. to encourage
the spread of our population and re-
store the proper balance between city
and country. The problem may well
have your earnest attention.
1t has been perhaps the proudest
claim of our American civilization that
In dealing with human relationships
1t has constantly moved toward such
Justice In distributing the product of
human energy that It has improved
continuously the economical status of
the mass Of people. Ours has been a
highly productive social organixat ton.

vances are to be returned and it would
be good business for the government
to provide for the reclamation of the
remaining 2o.oo0.ooo acres. in addi-
ton to expediting the completion OF
projects long under way.
Under what Is known as the coal and
gas lease law. applicable also to de-
posits Of phosphates and other min
erals on the public domain. leases are
now being made on the royalty basis
and are producing large revenues to
tion. 10. per cent of all royalties Is
to be paid directly to the federal
treasury and OF the remainder SO per
cent is to be used for reclamation of
arid lands by Irrigation and 40 per
cent is to be paid to the states in
which the operations are located, to
be used by them for school and road
purposes.
These resources are SO vast and the
development Is affording so reliable
a basis of estimate that the Interior
department expresses the belief that
ultimately the present law will add

Contemplating tho Inevitable and
desirable increase of population there
Is another phase Of reclamation full
worthy of consideration. There arc
100000 acres of swamp and cut
over lands which may be reclaimed
and made as valuable as any farm
lands VIC possess. These acvrcs are
largely located In southern states, and
the greater proportion lis owned by
tho states or by private citizens. Cong
ress has a report Of the survey OF this
sibility is established. I gladly COM

where state and private participation
is assured.
