thereof in corn-and-cob meaD, three
pounds oats and one-half pound oil
meal Except that during the last 40
days of the feeding period one pound
was fed, 3-5 pounds hay and 14.3
pounds silage. While the cattle were
on feed for $50 days the average full
ration is figured on a period Of 14O
days as that was considered by Mr..
Huston to be as near the actual fig.
ures as one could get without having
a definite daily account to go by.
On this basis each steer consumed
10 bushels corn, l3 bushels oats, 80
pounds oil meal. 500 pounds hay, and
one ton corn silage. Figuring corn at
70 cents a bushel, oats at 35 cents, oil
meal at $50 a ton and silage at s.

CALL FOR REPUBLICAN COUNTY
CONVENTION

Pursuant TO action taken by the
Delta County Republican Central Com

1924. the County Assembly Of the Re
publican party is hereby called to meet
at Delta, at 10 A. NJ, at the Court
House. on Wednesday. July 30. 1924.
for the purpose OF placing in nomi-
nation candidates for the various
county and precinct offices to be
voted upon at the primary election to
be held September Q. 1924. for the
purpose OF selecting 16 delegates to
the Republican State Convention, to
the Congressional District Convention
and the Judicial District Convention.
Also for the transaction of such other
business as may properly come before
the convention.
Said County Assembly will consist
of 1O1 delegates, each precinct being
entitled to one delegate and one dele
gate for every 25 votes or major
fraction thereof cast for the Hon.
Benjamin Griffith for governor at the
last general election, making the num-
ber of delegates from each precinct
as follows:

was as previously explained, S53.75,
(the heavy end Of the cattle purch-
ased) per head. Adding to this the
feed cost of S43.55, we have a total
cost of s97.30. The cattle brought
S1O6.59 per head at home, hence made
a profit above feed cost of 1929 per
head.
The second bunch of the steers pur-
chased were roughed through till Feb
ruary 10th in stalk fields with a small
amount OF silage and hay and were
then started on the same ration the
other steers had been fed They will
be sold on the June Market and will
undoubtedly do as well as the first
bunch. Mr.. Huston is well satisfied
with the Colorado cattle and is anxi-
Gus to secure more of the same kind
this fall. He, too spoke OF the pleas
ure of feeding such well-bred cattle
because of their uniformity and splen-
did feeding quality.
Thus the first years experience of
Iowa stockmen with high-class Colo
rado feeders has been very satisfac-
tory and it is hoped that this ex-
pertinent in cooperation between Colo
RADIO producers and Iowa finishers of
cattle will lead to permanent ar
rangement that will prove satisfactory
and beneficial to all parties con-
cerned.

form in appearance. They were the
kind of cattle that experienced feeders
like to see in the feed lot. They were
a joy to the men who bought them
from the very day they entered their
feed lots. Some had been sold at the
time we visited the feeders and some
were still running in the feed lots,
while one bunch was on pasture.
Garfield Wooten of Union, purch-
ased A head of these cattle at s44.50
per head. They were all sold by the
head rather than by the pound. When
the steers arrived at Union they weigh
ed SIT pounds On that weight, there
fore, the cost was $8.41 per hundred
weight. The cattle were turned into
new seeding of clover where they ran
for about thirty days. On December
Is, Mr.. Wooten began feeding shock
ed corn-all they cared TO eat. On Jan
uary 1st they were given some ear
corn once a day in addition to the
shocked corn. Later on when the
shocked corn was used up mixture
of alsike and medium red clover hay
was 1eu as TOuBndBe. by feDTudTy 10
the cattle were consuming about 20
bushels of corn per day and what hay
they cared to eat About the first OF
April a small amount Of oil meal
three-fourths Of pound per head per
day-was added to the ration men
toned.
Unfortunately, Mr.. Wooten did not
keep a definite record of the feed CON
sumed by these cattle for the reason
that some 140 head OF hogs run in the
feed lot with them. They, Of course,
got their share of the corn. Half OF
these hogs were marketed during the
early part Of May while the other
half were left in the feed lot and were
ready for the market when the cattle
were sold. Mr.. Wooten, however. has
fed cattle for a good many years and
made the statement that these Colo
RADIO cattle were more uniform in size
and Of better quality than any cattle
he had ever fed before. He was ex-
The Delta independent., 1924-07-25

ceedingly well satisfied with them and
figures that they made him fair
profit So well satisfied was he with
the cattle on the day of our visit that
he was anXiously inquiring whether
some more of the same kind would be
shipped into Iowa this year.
Ed Seward of New Providence,
bought Sc head OF these Colorado
steers at s4S.50 head. Their average
weight at the time of purchase was
$50 pounds and therefore cost $754 a
field till February 1st and part Of the
stalks were bought at the usual cost
of 81 per acre. No additional corn
was fed up until this date, but a feed
Of corn silage was given daily from
January 18th on. On February 1st ear
amount gradually increased. By March
1st the steers were on full speed Of
corn and silage. Then one-half pound
OF oil meal was added. This was gradu-
ally increased up to nearly three
rounds per head per day by April 1st.
Since that time the SO head have been
getting 100 pounds of oil meal a day.
For dry roughage the steers have
been getting mixed clover and tim
othy hay-mostly timothy. On account
of putting the oil meal on the silage

Mr.. Seward is a staunch believer in
the value OF silage for fattening
steers. "Silage reduces cost of beef
production" he said. "In fact, l
wouldn't feed cattle without silage. 1t
is too much of a gamble to produce
beef without this succulent feed. For
most people, putting up silage is
very laborious job, but here in our
neighborhood we manage to do It with

COLORADO CATTLE WIN
AMONG IOWA FEEDERS

Western Colorado received some
very nice publicity in the June 5th
number of the Iowa Homestead, pub
lished at Des Moines. The story is
very complete and tells of what was
accomplished by Colorado and Wyom-
ing cattlemen who sought the Iowa
territory for an outlet for their stock.
For the benefit of our readers we
publish the article in full:
During the middle OF November last
year the Western Slope Stock Grow
ers' Association, the North Park
Stock Growers Association, the Gun
nison Cattle Growers Association, all
of Colorado, and the Laramie Cattle
Growers Association, of Centennial,
Wyoming, shipped, in round numbers,
5000 high-grade Shorthorn and Here
ford calves, yearlings and two-year-old
cattle into Iowa in hopes of finding
an outlet for a portion of their annual
output.
These cattle were all sold at public
auctions held at Creston, Atlantic,
Marshalltown and Cedar Rapids. They
found ready sale. Iowa farmers were
eager for the cattle and bought them
for less-everything considered-tha
they could have purchased the same
cattle for had they been bought on the
Omaha or some other central market.
At the same time the cattle raisers
felt that they received a better price
for their stock than they could have
obtained had they sold them on a cent
raj market. 1t was case of coop
erative cattle growers associations
dealing directly with Iowa feeders and
in so doing effecting a saving to all
concerned. There is no reason why
producers and finishers of cattle
should not cooperate with each other
in this manner on large scale and
thus save handling and shipping
charges.
Iowa cattle feeders will be inter
ested in knowing something about the
outcome of this cooperative deal. Did
the cattle do well? Did they prove to
be good doers in the feed lot? And
did the feeders make any money on
the deal? These are questions that
we shall try to answer in the follow
ing discussion of the results obtained
by a number of feeders in Marshall
county, whom we visited and inter
viewed a short time ago.
The cattle shipped to Marshalltown
were auctioned off on November Is,
1928. They were all high-grade Here

the Marshalltown auction, is handling
them differently from the other stock
men mentioned. He roughed them
through the winter on silage, straw
and hay-a very cheap ration. The
cattle did well on this feed. They
were turned on blue grass pasture
early in the spring and will remain
there without grain till fall - some
time in September-after which they
will be given short grain feed and
sold on the November market. This
at least, is the plan as outlined at
present. Mr.. Diggins considers that
his chances for making a liberal profit
are very good.

bought II head for s51 per head that
averaged 730 pounds in weight and
therefore cost 81 per 100 pounds. The
cattle ran in the stalk field till Janu-
airy LIST, but were fed a little addi.
tional corn from December 18th on.
After that they were given all the
silage they could eat, together with
clover hay. Early in May one of the
steers developed case of hemorrha-
gic septicemia, so it was decided to
ship all of them, together with a load
of 130O-pound steers. On May 18th
the Colorado steers sold on the Chi.
cago market at s10.75 at an average
weight of 1,055 pounds. The heavy
cattle weighed 1900 pounds and sold
on the same day at s1O.25. In spite
of the fact that the Colorados had to
be sold before they were quite ready.
they made some money for Mr.. Hille-
man, who was more than pleased with
their feeding quality.

1927 per 100 pounds. These cattle
were divided into two lots 20 head
estimated to weigh $50 pounds and II
head estimated at $50 pounds per
head. The 20 heavier steers were put
on a grain ration as soon as they
reached the farm and were sold at

w. c. Frazier, also of New Provi-
dence, bought "a head of the Colorado
steers at S57.5O a head. Their average
weight was S15 pounds and therefore
cost only S7O5 per 100 pounds. Mr..
Frazier was unusually well pleased
with his cattle because Of their uni
formity good feeding quality and their
gentle action in the feed lot. Having
fed from two to four carloads of cattle
annually for the past 20 years he
knows good cattle when he sees them
and is able to judge by their appear
ance in the feed lot whether they are

Mr. Frazier's cattle ran in stalk
fields till January Bird, after which
they were put in dry lot and fed ear
corn and clover hay. A month later
they were on full feed and getting
some molasses as an appetizer. They
consumed one and one-half barrels of
this in the course of six weeks. Then
alfalfa molasses feed was fed at the
rate OF one pound per head per day
and the same amount Of oil meal.
From the time the cattle were on full
feed they have consumed about three
fourths ear corn and one-fourth shell
ed corn-equivalent in shelled corn to
1875 bushels a day or 2O.G pounds per
head, together with the alfalfa mo-
lasses feed and oil meal mentioned.
