LOCAL FEED
MAN ATTENDS
SALES CLASS
Spends One Week at Purina
School in Memphis, Tenn,
Studying Animal Nutri-
tiOn and Better Feeding
Methods.
Must Feed For Results Says He

Mr.. G. O. Lewallen of the Lewailen
Gro Company Of this city has lust
returned from Memphis where he at
tended the Purina Mills Sales School
held at the Chisca Hotel "In this
class" says Mr.. Lewallen, "every phase
of live stock feeding was studied, with
n view of enabling statesmen and local
feed dealers to render a higher tyne
service to feeders of live stock"
Il was very much impressed" says
Mr. Lewallen, "by the figures present
ed showing the value of the live stock
and dairy products sold annually in
our own county. According to the
figures compiled by the United States
Department of Agriculture, Randolph
county farmers sell every year $37U.-
60900 worth of dairy and poultry pIo-
ducts. Figures showing the value of
hogs and steers are equally impress
sive."
big as these figures are, it is possi-
ble,' says Mr. Lewallen, "to increase
the value of these products sold in Ran
dolph county by one-fourth to one
third by the introduction of pr u ~
feeding methods among the farmers
generally. This extra production will
create extra wealth which would be
used in part to buy building material
to make improvements, to buy au.o-
mobiles, more clothing, furniture, etc
In other words better feeding will 'end
to increase prOportionately the bus, SIS
done by every firm i'm the county.
"The interesting thing" adds 1r
Lewallen, 'is that it takes only com
paratively small increase in production
to double the feeders net profit. Ac-
cording to a survey made by Hoard g
Dairyman, one of the leading dairy
publications, an increase of only 10
per cent in the amount of milk produc-
ed will frequently result in double
profit.
Take for example the case of a COW
producing 20 pounds of milk a day, Is
pounds of which is required to pay for
the labor, feed and cost and miscellan-
eOus expense. This leaves two pounds
net profit This same COW can be made
to produce % pounds of milk day, OF
two extra pounds 40 per cent mOrel l-
four pounds profit instead Of two, Oh
double the net profit. On that basis
just one extra inch of milk in the pail
is worth from SIG to $40 more on the
ton of feed. The same thing hold.
true with other live stock and poultry
1t is vitally important that the feeder
get those few extra eggs, that extra
milk, or the fractions of a pound ex
ira daily gain in producing pork OF
beef.
AT the start of the course" says
Mr.. Lewallen, the Importance of agri
culture in the economic life of Ameri
ca is emphasized. 1t was shown that
the annual output of all farm products
greatly exceeds the annual production
Pocahontas star herald., 1926-12-23
Minneapolis and Kansas City.

Minneapolis and Kansas City.
The course also showed clearly why
a commercial feed made to produce
definite, profitable results for the farm
er has certain advantages over even
the best home mixed ration. The farm
er cannot be certain of always getting
ingredients of uniform quality, and
many desirable ingredients he cannot
get at all. Moreover, the individual
feeder has not the facilities for Glenn
ing the grains of all dirt and chaff, or
Of thorough mechanical mixing, or Of
conducting the extensive laboratory
tests to determine the value of this
ration. Samples of every car of grnin
received are tested in the chemical
laboratory, as are also samples of every
lot of mixed feed. In the biological
laboratory experiments in nutrition,
vitamins and kindred lines are being
conducted to improve commercial ra-
tions still further
Purina schools are held frequently
in various parts Of the country. Ex-
ecutives and department heads from
the Purina Mills are the instructors.
Sessions are held daily from S15 20

Parks and Local Taxpayers.

The Senate District committee re-
spends favorahiy to Senator Phipps
vigorous appeal for fair play in appor-
iioning the expense Of completing the
parkway connection between Potoma 2
and Rock Creek Parks. 1t proposes
the e1uita BILE amendment Of the House
hill so that this expense shall be met
one half by the Nation, including the
District. and one half by the taxpayers
Of the local community. as all the
previous expenditures on this ma tionat-
local project have been met. The
House bill provides that the entire
Sen0,o00 needed to complete this
project shall he paid from the taxes Of
the local community.
IF the House hill. unamended. should
become law it would cause this sup
plement of the parkway connection to
he the only section Of this fine park
ievelopment toward which the Nation
does not contribute either under the
60-Sh or 6o.4h ratio or in a lump.sum
payment in lieu of definite proper.
tionate contribution.
Consistency. equity, every instinct
of American fair play require that this
parkway expense of 5000. ON should
either he divided between local com.
munity and Nation on the hitherto
prevailing $3.50 rate. or S36O. 900 from
local taxes and S94O. O0O from Nation
under the $40 ratio. provided by
present substantive law, or under the
lump-smm payment plan Of. say,
Si0A.000 from local taxes and. say.
$2A0. mao from the National Govern.
ment. AS mmp-Sum money -Sa wing
substitute for the $500. 900 due under
the $3.50 ratio or the SolO. 600 due nm,
der the 60-4p proportionate ratio.
The real issue in this discussion is
not whether the National Government
shall participate in definite proportion
or in arbitrary lump-sum payment
toward this park improvement. bu.
whether it shall contribute at all.
No legislator can justify voting for
the House bill because he is inclined
10 favor the lump-sum payment pla II
of national contribution in preference
to the definite proportion plan. A vote
for the House bill is not merely the
indica ton of preference concerning
the form of national contribution for
park development, hut a refusal to
contribute any amount whatever In
any form.

Passage bv the House Yesterday Of
bill amending the act to establish
free public library for the District
sends that inca sure back to the SAn.
ate, which has already passed it. for
Inc consideration Of certain amend.
ments which we're adopted nv the
House. This is an important piece of
constructive legislation affecting a
most useful public institution. which
In its thirty wears. has rendered a
valuable service to the District com.
munitN. The Public Library was
created as a supplement to the public
educational system of WASHINGTON
and this present bill is to make 4,
more effective In that respect by
authorizing the board OF trustees Of
the Library to enter into agreements
with the Board of Educatio for the
esta blishment and maintenance Of
branch libraries In the public school
buildings and in separate buildings.
This authorization has been found to
he necessary, as heretofore the de.
velopment OF the Library in coniunc.
ton with the public schools has been
hampered by lack OF authority OF sub
sta ntive law.
The utmost use has been made Of
all the facilities afforded in the de.
velopment OF the Public Library. and
the record Of book use shows a con
slant increase in circulation. With
larger appropria tons for the purcha Sc
Of books and for services The i.ibrarv's
value can be further increased. The
House Yesterday amended the bill by
requiring that certain fees which
heretofore have been turned into a re-
volving fund for book increase. as is
the practice in similar institutions
elsewhere. must be turned into the
Treasury as miscellaneous revenue
of the District after July |. 1927. This
cha nge should be carefully considered
by the Senate and in conference. The
community appreciates the prompt
ness and consideration given TO it
by the Senate and the House in this
matter and hopes that the mea sure
will he finally sha ped to enable the
Library to carry on it's valua BILE work
with the fullest effectiveness.

The Jail Accommodations.

Erection Of ar addition to the Dis
frict Jail giving accommodations for
200 more prisoners. as proposed by
the superintendent of that institution,
would remedy the immediate COnSes-
tion hut would not relieve the situa =
ton definitely In 1921 there was
a. daily average Of 243 prisoners. At
present the average is 4o4. This is
an average of 1Sl more prisoners
daily. 1t il quite likely that by the
completed the rate of increase will
bring the five-year difference up to
fhe 900 point.
The point of this matter is that
steadily in proportion TO the increa Sc
of population. This does not mean
that the average of morality or law
fitness in the District is falling. But
with every growing community there
as an actual addition to the criminal
population, and unless the policy of
the courts in committing prisoners il
changed, it is to he expected that
with every year the number of ia il
inmates will increase.
The present jail was erected SO
many years ago that it is today quite
out of date in point of arrangement
and accommoda tions. a new struc-
ture is greatly to he preferred to any
addition to the old one to meet the
present emergency. Better than the
erection of an annex to house the
overflow would he the prepa IA ion of
plans nd authority for the early con.
struction Of new jail. perhaps not
at the present site. 1t might he pref
erahly elsewhere. possibly at Deco
guam, where the other District pena
Institution Is located.
