Griffith Saws

The Santa Fe railroad building out
of Satanic means more to the devel-
opment of that country than most
people think it does. The intentions
are now not to stop in Stanton Coun-
ty, but to build 60 or more miles
longer road, over into Colorado, and
my prediction is that it will build to
a main line connection on the Santa
Fe in north New Mexico, thus MAX
ing main line cutoff from Satanic.
Their crop conditions through west
ern Haskell and Grant counties are
better than ours. They had us beat
on prospects before the recent mois-
ture-and now they are in much bet
ter condition.
have often had good, successful
sensible farmers from the East, who
were out looking over this country,
tell me that Grant County and south
west Haskell would be the Garden
of Kansas" if it ever had railroad.
They expressed this opinion after
making an investigation of its ex-
cellent soil. The railroad is now as
sured-so is the Garden of Kan
sas." The tomorrow values will be
much advanced over the bargain
deals we are offering today.
Come in and ask me to prove these
statements to you.
Let me give you a list of lands in
that country. Il will interest you.

GOss SAYS:

I've had fellows around here who
wanted to buy land tell me ~ don't
want to go north of the river, it's
too hard and they don't raise crops
nothing could be farther from the
truth with reference to the land in
the vicinity of Satanic and north
west through Grant county. Yes,
know there is land south and south
east of that territory which is hard
its heavy wheat land and don't
raise crops with regularity-but the
fellow who thinks they don't raise
crops, and don't have an ideal soil,
in the territory l am telling you
about, is simply ignorant of the con-
ditions. Chances are he is taking
some others word who is "knock-
ing. Seeing is believing-Come in

conditions up there were like 1 say
they are and ask me to convince you.

RHODES PREDICTS
GRAZING SEASON
(By Associated Press)

Lexington, Ky, May 15-Tlle
coming grazing season promises
to be slack one. according to
Maryland Rhodes. beef cattle spe-
cialist of the College OF Agricul-
trlre. AS a result OF conditions
during the past two years, fewer
cattle will be placed on grass to
finish them eff this year while
many other feeders will reduce
the size of their projects and
feed only so to 90 cattle as COM
pared to 100 they have been feed
ing i'll past pears, he said.
While many feeders are show
ing an inclination to go slow on
their operations for the coming
year, other Indications point to a
better chance for profit for the
cattle feeder. A lower price for
feeder cattle. a fairly stead!
market and lower feed prices
should do much toward making
this year more profitable thar
the past two have been.
Feeders who made a profit in
that time have been the excep-
ton rather than the rule he said
1t has been difficult for the aver
age feeder to make a profit OF
any kind, while many of them
have experienced difficulty in re
alizing a market value for the
feed which they fed.
Feeders VIII wish to put their
steers on an early market and
who have plenty of pasture need
not feed cQttOnseed meal now
Mr.. Rhodes pointed out. Early.
tender grass is rich in protein
and when balanced with a daily
iced of from four to six pounds
,2f corn, results in good gains
and an. early market condition.
Feeders who wish to carry their
cattlt thru until late summer for
tattening will do best by feeding
one or two pounds OF cottonseed
meal and from four to six pounds
OF corn a day from July on, Mr..
Rhodes said. This will increase
the gains and make better quail
ity steers, he said Stocker
steers to be carried thru the
summer and finished later need
10 extra grain or grass.
This extra feeding is justified.
where grass is short and the cat
tie were started OH the grazing
season in thin flesh to be placed
on the market as fat cattle in the
iall. Cottonseed meal should be
led only late in the season after
the grass is mature. since it is
rot needed in early spring when
he protein content of grass is
nigh" he concluded.
