LIVE STOCK SAVIOR
Of FARMER IN j. S.
Grain Sold in Form of Fat
tened Cattle Shows
Good Profit.
BY j. C. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 10.-The live
stock on the farm has pulled the
farmer out of the slough ever since
agriculture began, and will continue
to do so this year. Much of the
money which will flow into farmers
pockets, and through them into the
channels of retail trade, will come
from cattle, sheep and hogs.
Spring weather has been unfavora-
bic for field crops. Excessive rains
delayed field work in the North, while
the frosts and wet Spring hurt Win
ter wheat in the Southwest. But
prices now being paid for cattle, hogs
and sheep continue at a level which
insures the farmer profitable re-
turn, despite increased prices for
feed
The income of the American farm
er, outside of that derived from live
stock, dropped a billion dollars in
1926 from the 1925 total. This is
double the sum lost through flood
damage this year. Without live stock
revenue the farms of this country
last year averaged only $1,305. With
live stock and dairy products the
average was more than $4,000. In
Iowa gross income from grain as such
was $4,000, 900, while income from
live stock was $617, 100000, according
to the figures of Iowa State College.
Margins on Cattle.
Margins of 81 to Sc a hundred
pounds on beef cattle are not infre-
quent today. This means that there
is a difference of $50 to SIS between
the price paid for a thin steer and
that for a fattened one. Hog and
lamb prices also are at profitable
levels. Corn stocks on farms are
much smaller than year ago, and
corn futures now are above the dol
lar mark. This may tend to advance
live stock prices before it materially
lessons the margin of profit. There
is small doubt that the live stock
producer has weathered the storms
Of agricultural adversely better than
any one else.
There is great irregularity in the
Winter wheat yield of the Southwest,
as is being shown now in harvesting.
Some fields are producing high yields,
while in others the heads are smaller
than usual. The Kansas crop is esti-
mated at around 140.000,000 to $780,
600 900 bushels. Further deterioration
is reported in some parts of Texas and
Oklahoma, and complaints are coming
from Missouri and Nebraska.
The Canadian provinces have not
seeded as great an acreage as expect
ed In the Northwest the farmers
have been in the fields day and night
trying to make up time. This has
given tractor sales terrific impetus.
There is still chance for big corn
tcrop, but planting was seriously de-
layed in some of the corn belt States.
1t II still too early to be either pessi-
ynistic or optimistic on this crop. In
most farm products outside the field
crops, stocks today are smaller than
the five-year average, which indicates
sharp demand and strong prices. Beef
stocks are nearly 100000 pounds
under the average. Pork shows a loss
