placed in jeopardy. That may not
occur. But if it does, either we must
be represented or expect our cause
to go by default"
There is another reason why the
officers and directors are just now
taking steps to bring the chamber into
more popular attention of all the
firms OF the city. With automobile
travel making it the custom of the
people to travel from one side of the
continent to the other just as a mat
ter of an outing, it has become vastly
more important that city keep its
name in the public eye, SO that its
hotels and business houses may get
a fair share of the travel money that
is being scattered along the way
Douglas, as the chamber OF commerce
directors conceive it, has an especially
advantageous location on one OF the
main arteries leading from coast tC
coast, and in the event that it retains
its place on the Broadway of America,
as it expects to do, this being an ALL
year way, then Douglas will, more
than ever, reap benefit by keeping
before the travelling public. And tc
keep before the public, money is re-
CURED to buy advertising and p2y fol-
printing the literature that will be
available for tourists when they hap
pen into the city and also to send
to other points to interest them in
coming this way.
That sort of work brings business
not to one line but to all lines OF
business in the city, and for thai
reason the chamber is Interested in
having assistance from all in bearing
the expenses. That is the reason foI
the campaign-to replenish the treas
ury that the literature may be- pro-
cured and the work carried on with
an aggressiveness that will suggest
that Douglas is live center where
visitors will find something that will
interest them.
The letters sent out probably have
reached all not now members by the
time this story reaches them. 1t is
the hope of President Jackson that
those to whom letters were addressed
will be sufficiently interested in their
city to come to the chamber offices
$40 Eleventh street, and enroll and
pay the membership fee or else mail
check for the amount. The offices
are open during the business hours
and visitors are welcome at all times
and it is the belief of the officers
and the members of the board that
if those who have not affiliated with
the chamber will come to the offices
and get acquainted and talk the mat
ter over with the secretary that they
will be convinced tI1k they will be
benefited to hold la~heInbership' in
the Douglas Chamber OF Commerce,

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SENDS
APPEAL TO CONCERNS NOT NOW
MEMBERS TO ENLIST in WORK
Letters Point Out Need For Community Agency For
Promoting Welfare of City and the Advantages of
Having Funds Ready For Emergency Uses

Every business concern, whether q
corporation or an individually owned
enterprise, as well as every profess
sional man in Douglas, will be given
an opportunity within the next 80
days to have its or his name in
scribed on the membership record OF
the chamber of commerce. That has
been decided upon and an appeal has
been sent to every concern not now
shown to be a member of the cham
bcr. The effort is being directed by
President George E. jackson and he
says that his personal appeal to in
dividuals already canvassed has
brought q result that causes him TO
believe there will be healthy growth
shown when the responses are in.
There is only one way to finance
community work and that is by COM
munity membership, it is pointed out
by the chamber officials. There Is
need every day and every week for
some attention to a business that con-
Germs all of the community alike but
for which no one has an individual
that, if the chamber is properly
financed there always is an agency
that will take care of the work.
There is an instance in point just
now that is giving Douglas business
men some worry. That is the conven-
-tion of the Broadway OF America
Highway association, to be held in
Memphis, Tenn, starting April 20. 1t
is regarded as OF much Importance
to Douglas to have a delegation at the
convention. The chamber OF conf
merCe has been conducting canvas
trying to get individuals to make the
trip. II will be trip that will cost
several dollars and no one except the
president of the chamber has been
found who will say definitely that he
will try to 60. There have been a
couple OF tentative promises but what
the chamber needs is some one to
step out and declare his intention of
going.
IF there Was available cash to
pay the travel expenses OF a delegate
there would be a certainty that Doug
las would be represented at the Mem
phis meeting" said Secretary George
B. Doubleday. "But when a business
man considers leaving his business
and at the same time paying his eX-
penses, he begins to realize that ne
is contributing a. rather heavy share
as his part and that without question
adds to the difficulty of getting per-
sons to volunteer. There is no dispute
from any source that the convention
is of Importance to us and that we
ought to have some one there to urge
our cause if there arises any question
in which the interests OF Douglas are

PROPER RATION
| FOR ALL STOCK
ADDS TO PROFIT

Mike E. Simon, of the Mike E.
Simon company of this city, just re-
turned from Ell PaSo, where he at
! tended the Purina Mills sales school
held last week at the Hussman hotel.
"In this Glass;" says Mr.. Simon,
"every phase of live stock feeding
was studied, with a view of enabling
statesmen and local feed dealers to
ers of live stock"
"I was very much impressed" says
Mr.. Simon, "by the figures presented
showing the value of the live stock
and dairy products sold annually in
our own county According to the
figures compiled by the U1ited States
department of Agriculture, Cochise
county farmers sell every year $270,049
worth of dairy and poultry products.
Figures showing the value of hogs
/ and steers are equally impressive.
big as these figures are, it is pos
sible to increase the value of these
products sold in Cochise county by
one-fourth to one-third by the intro
duction of proper 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 i'm
provements. to buy automobiles, more
clothing, furniture, etc. In other
words better feeding will tend to
increase proportionately the business
done by every firm in the county"
1.-The interesting thing" adds Mr..
Simon, "is that it takes only COM
IN
ton to double the feeders net profit.
According to survey made by one
Of the leading dairy publications, an
increase of only 10 per cent in the
amount of milk produced will fire.
quenCly result in doubled profit.
"Take for example the case of
COW producing 20 pounds of milk
day. 18 pounds Of which is required
to pay for the labor, feed cost and
miscellaneous expense. This leaves
two pounds net profit This same
COW can be made to produce %
pounds of milk day, or two extra
pounds 90 per cent more)-four
pounds profit instead of two, or 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 holds true
with other live stock and poultry. 1t
is vitality important that the feeder
get those few extra eggs, that extra
milk, or the fractions of a pound
extra gain in producing pork or beef"
"At the start of the course" says
Mr.. Simon, "the Importance of agri-
culture in the economic life of
America was emphasized. 1t was
shown that the annual output of all
farm products greatly exceeds the
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-03-25

In spite of generous feeding they did
not produce an egg, proving con-
clusively that the system is reliable.
Proper feeding of brood sows is
especially important right now if the
hog raiser is to make any money.
The feeders profits depend very
largely upon the size Of the litter.
Today the average farmer loses before
weaving time 40 per cent Of the
pigs farrowed. This represents a ire
mendous loss to every community.
According to the experience of hog
feeders everywhere, properly balanced
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-03-25

farm machinery, automobiles, coal,
annual production of iron ore. oil
and the earnings of the railroads
combined 1t was pointed out that
in view of the magnitude Of the farm
industry, greater efficiency in farm
operation and better knowledge OF
operating cost is highly desirable.
ITO give a foundation for correct
feeding methods, the principles OF ami
NAL nutrition were carefully studied
in the school In this session Atvere
developed the fundamental reasons for
balanced rations-to supply eleiiients
required by the animal for variety
of purposes-ma maintaining the body, re-
placing worn-out tissues, building
bone, supplying heat and energy, and
making milk or eggs. Wedding, out
poor stock, breeding for vigor, and
feeding for results, is the combination
that spells profits for the farmer
THAT production can be Increased
was shown by a comparison Of milk
production in the United States-3627
pounds a year average-With that Of
the Netherlands-758 pounds a year.
This additional production results en-
tirely from right breeding and feeding
properly balanced ration which
enables the COW both to maintain her
body and make milk. ON lowering
the cost Of production says Professor
Eckles, the noted authority from the
Minnesota College of Agriculture,
feeding comes first
Another point frequently overlooked
by dairymen is the necessity Of feed
ing dairy COW a concentrate ration
that contains the proper amount and
quality of protein 1t is true that a
COW will produce almost as much milk
for the first few weeks without a
high protein concentrate But she
does SO at the expense of her body
and that means sure cut in the
milk supply later on.
"The COW, with her mother instinct
to produce milk to nourish her Off
spring, produces a good volume for
few weeks, drawing on her body
for the nutrients her improperly bal
anced feed lacks. But then nature
calls a halt The COW, run down
physically, must start to rebuild her
body, and the milk flow gradually
decreases. Once COW falls off in
her milk, it is almost impossible to
bring her back before she freshens
again.
$50, too, in the matter of eggs.
The average United States hen lays
70 eggs a year; the average Purina
fed hen lays 148 eggs year. This
tremendous increase is brought about
because a balanced ration supplies
materials for making approximately
an equal number Of yolks and whites,
while grain ration develops more
yolks than whites. AS no hen can
lay half an egg, the extra yolks are
absorbed nito the body and egg pro-
duction is cut down.
"All who attended the school were
thoroughly drilled in the most up-to-
date methods of culling poultry-of
wedding out producing "boarder'
hens. The result of culling by the
system taught have been carefully
checked time and again by experiment
stations and on practical poultry
farms in all sections. Birds have been
culled out as non-producers and shut
off to themselves for 20 to. 80 days.

feed produces an average of two addi-
tional pigs per litter at weaving time,
and produces cheaper pigs at weaving
time and cheaper pork after weaning.
Such a balanced ration also means
quicker growth, and makes it pos
sible for the farmers to get their
hogs to market around September or
October, when prices are usually
higher than at any other time.
