1t cost 1895, 100000 or more than
their total farm value, to market
the meat animals slaughtered in
the United States last year. but
most farmers and stockmen thought
/ they were getting off for a market
ing bill of only $140,OOO,OOO.
There are two ways of looking at
livestock marketing costs, and 90
out of 100 stOckmen do it the wrong
way. A new chart, based on esti-
mates by the bureau Of agricultural
economics of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, shows in
graphic way some of the many
millions of livestock marketing
costs that stOCEmen have been pay
ing without giving much considera-
tion TO them.
According to the chart, the farm
value of meat animals slaughtered
in the United States in 1892 was
S721, 100000 The packers paid
$S61,000,0OO for these animals, and
consumers paid 81, 65G,OOO,OOO at re-
tail prices for the meats.
Ninety-nine out of one hundred
stockmen think Of marketing costs
as including only freight or truck
age, yardage, feed and commission
in short. the expense of moving
livestock from the farm feedlot to
the packing plant. On this basis
livestock producers paid $4,000
600 in marketing costs on their 1882
crop of meat animals, or the differ
ence between the farm value of
S721 100000 and the 1851, 100000
that were paid for those animals
by the packers.
On the other hand, packers main
tain that the price of livestock is
determined by. what consumers will
pay for meats. That is, the price
Of meats to consumers, less the
various costs of processing and dis
tribution is the price of the meat
animal. On that basis livestock
marketing costs in 1882 were $685.
100000 instead of $140OOOOO0.
That S935,OO0,OOO included costs
of slaughter. processing, storage,
wholesaling, transportation, insur-
ance and retailing in getting the
meat from the packer to the con-
sumer The S14OOO0OOO of the
costs, which stockmen see and
know they pay, is important and is
to be reduced wherever possible.
II is also desirable that stockmen
know more about the big end of
their marketing costs, the S795OOO,-
600 between the stockyards terminal
market and consumer. in order that
they may adopt such measures as
may be necessary to narrow that
drain on their livestock income.

Eliminate Loafer Cows,
Is Advice of an Expert

With feed costs rising rapidly.
the dairyman will be faced with a
serious feed problem, says G. A.
Williams of Purdue university. He
advocates disposing OF the ineffi-
cient producers, rather than putting
high priced feed through them when
they will not give enough milk to
pay for it. In case the dairyman
wishes to keep the low producers, 1t
would be well to rough them
through the winter. saving the
grain feed for the better producers
which will return some profit.
Williams cites the test figures
from a county testing association.
The ten high cows in the county
produced more than twice as much
milk as the ten low producers
Each hundred pounds of milk pro-
duced by the poorest cows required
76 cents worth of feed, while the
best cows needed only 80 cents
worth to produce the same amount
of milk.
The best COW on test returned.
during last year, $95.02 above feed
costs, while the average poor COW
returned only $1.5S. Sixty poor
cows would be needed to produce
the same income above feed cost as
the one best COW.

TIME TO FORGET

"No WONDER" writes one of our
readers, that women are the object
of all sorts of discrimination They
don't know enough to stand together.
There's one organization of women
gone down TO Washington to fight
for something for WOMEN, and an
other organization of WOMEN fight
ing against them. | think the wom-

should 90 TO jail!'
The distinguished woman writer
70 whom this outburst was addressed
answered it thus:
81 do not feel that in this day in
this country 1t is necessary for wom-
en- to stand by women, right or
wrong, because they are women. To
my mind that Is only justifable in
an uneven fight, at the beginning of
a struggle in which everything is
stacked against one.
81 think women in this country to-
day are so utterly free. that they
enjoy equality and privileges to such
an extent that they now have a RE
SPONSIBILITY to justify their po-
sitions. And you can't do that by
dividing the world into WOMEN and
MEN and backing the women, right
or wrong.
"The quickest way to bring preju-
dice and discrimination upon any
class of human beings is to segre-
gate them and announce that they

selves. When women had no voice

fairs, that attitude was justified.

Agricultural Hints

There are 100000 Angora goats
in Texas.
Junior workers in Al clubs may
teach the grown-ups.
Prolonged cold storage has been
found to free apples of insects.
Farmers union branches are be-
ing organized throughout northern
Ireland.
Agriculturally, Manchuria is one
of the most favored spots in the
Far East.
A half-million farmers lost their
status as landowners in the last
three years.
Cows should be dry six weeks or
two months. This gives them a
chance to build up a reserve for the
coming year.
In Minnesota, the rust-spreading
barberry usually can be found in
those communities where winter rye
is heavily infected with stem rust.
An increase in wheat production
in Europe, excluding Soviet Russia,
was shown in crop estimates made
public by the Institute Of Agricul-
ture.

Don't Forget Real BAYER Aspirin Starts "Tdking HoLd
in Few Minutes

Here is quicker relief from pain-the
fastest safe relief, it is said, ever
known. This is due to a scientific
discovery by which BAYER Aspirin
starts taking hold" of pain few
minutes after taking.
The illustration of the glass here
tells the story. A Bayer tablet starts to
disintegrate or dissolve-go to work
almost instantly. This means quick
relief from pain-fewer lost hours
from headache, neuritis, rheumatism.
And safe relief. For genuine Bayer
Aspirin does not harm the heart.
When you buy, see that you get
the genuine Bayer Aspirin. The best
way is never to ask for aspirin by the
name aspirin" alone. But if you
want Bayer Aspirin's quick relief
always to say ''BAYER Aspirin"

MASS TO PROTEST
BALKAN TERROR
Parade To Start From

ror in the Balkan countries called for
today at IL A. M, to be followed by
a parade 10 the Columbus Circle, the
Anti Imperialist League and the Pro-
Visional Committee of Struggle A
gainst Balkan Fascisn have called
the attention Of the workers in New
York TO unparalleled outrages, med
ieVal tortures and wholesale suppress
sion being imposed upon the workers
in the Balkan countries.
In the effort to stretch the helping
hand Of solidarity to those workers,
and at the same time to weld solid
united front Of struggle against Fas-
cispl, as part Of worldwide action
by the workers, the League and the
Provisional COMMITTEES have appealed
to workers Of all nationalities ia take
part in the demonstration today.
Delegations will be sent to the
Roumanian, Yugo-Slav, Turkish and
Bulgarian consulates.
A statement issued by the Provi-
sional Committee paints picture of
iron-fisted, murderous terror directed
against the workers of these countries,
and MEDIEVAL, inhuman tortures TO
which the political prisoners are sub
jected.
Leaders OF workers have been shot
down in cold blood on the streets Of
Sofia and throughout Bulgaria, IN
GLIDING Christie Traykoy, the Mace

In Jugo-Slayia, in the period be-
ginning 1929 up to September 1882

suited in 18 executions, four life sem
fences, and a. total Of 734 sent to
serve prison terms.
This does not include the approx
mately hundred workers killed inside
OF prison wall or driven insane
through uncomfortable tortures. The
tortures splice prisoners tongues, pull
out nails, scar the flesh with hot
irons, and crush their heads with
iron rings. In this way Lazar Gjuo-
