TESTS TO SHOW BEST
KIND FEEDER CATTLE

Cattle feeders of Minnesota = are
awaiting eagerly the results Of two
cattle-fattening trials being run this
winter by the animal husbandry di-
vision of the Minnesota Agricultural
Experiment Station. One is a trial
with baby beef calves at the Crooks
ton station to determine the suitable
lily of wheat to comprise all or part
of the grain ration in fattening cat
tie for market. The other trial is
being run at University Farm, to
find the best ages and grades Of feed
er cattle.
In the trials at Crookston, four
lots of calves are being fed, each con-
sisting of eight high-grade hereford
steers. All lots are receiving linseed
meal and sweet clover hay, but are
being fed on different grain rations.
One lot is receiving only partly
ground wheat; another is receiving
half and half ground wheat and
ground barley; third, half-and-half
ground wheat and ground oats; and
the fourth ground barley only. These
calves have been on feed for about
100 days, and all four groups are
making fine progress.
s. The trial will be completed in May
or June, following which a meeting
will be. held at the Crookston station
to report the results. Should these
trials demonstrate that high-quality
finished baby beef can be made on
wheat, barley, oats, sweet clover
and alfalfa hay, one more opportuni-
ty for profitable livestock production
in the Red River Valley will be open
ed up, says w. H. Peters, animal
husbandry chief, University Farm.
In the University Farm trial,
special study is being made of the
factors involved in the purchase and
fattening of feeder steers of three
different ages, two-year-olds, year.
lings and calves. Factors affecting
results in the purchase and fattening
of feeder cattle of the several i'm
portant market grades are also being
studied. Results will be announced
in late May or June at the annual
University Farm Cattle Feeders Day.

the different trophies were awarded
in which Coach Browns aggregation
received a silver full size basket ball
trophy for runners-up. New Ulm re-
ceived the championship trophy while
Lamberton received the trophy for
consolation winners. Each player
from the different teams received
sportsmanship medal.
Tom Finn, Clarence Keefe, Harlan
Jaehning and Wilbur Melges played
their last game for the Redwood Falls
High School. These four athletes will
graduate this year. Although the
loss of the four will be severe, pro-
spects for a team of championship
calibre are fairly bright. Several
men from the Junior High team will
be available for work on the first
squad next year and with the reserv-
es it is expected that the team will
make a good record.
