I wonder if everyone that has
chickens has the same trouble
as mine. It is hard to keep them
full and contented, especially
when the grain bin is empty.
I'll bet if we had Tom Camp
bells lease and Ed Kopac'S land
together, Paul would feed
enough cattle, sheep and hogs to
keep me buying grain from the
feed store for the chickens.
OF course the whole trouble
is that the chickens eat too
much.
How's about fried chicken?
That's when I win the argu-
ment. Luxuries come high.

Protein Supplement Helps
Beef Cattle Gain Finish

Sam L. Williams, assistant extern
sion animal husbandman of N. c.
State college, has an answer to
the question: "Can beef be pro-
duced without a protein supple
ment?"
This is what he has been telling
beef cattle breeders and feeders
who have asked the question in re-
cent weeks: Gin my opinion it can
be done, but it is neither practical
nor profitable"
Then he goes on to explain that
the important thing to the cattle
producer is how much weight and
finish he can put on his cattle and
how long it will require. Efficient
production is essential to greatest
profit in any business, and this is
especially true in the cattle bust
ness.
Some of the more common protein
supplements are cottonseed meal,
soybean meal, linseed meal, and
corn gluten meal. ALI of these are
about equal in feeding value.
Williams explained that the econ
omy of feeding a protein supple
ment lies in the fact that such feeds
are responsible for more efficient
utilization of feed, larger gains,
higher finish, and greater selling
price.
