ers have been deligned and arran3
ed to handle this part of feeding
with a minimum of effort.
Since labor is becoming increas
ingly difficult to secure, and since
the price of feeds has gone up, it
is essential that cur western ranch
ers prepare their rations in such a
manner that the highest degree of
efficiency is achieved. This in
wolves two major steps-grinding of
feeds used, and it is an accepted
and universal practice to grind con-
centrates. Balancing the ration is
highly important, since it is only
through applying this principle that
the utmost value is obtained from
ration. The Los Angeles Union
Stock Yards, as part Of it's service
to western stockmen, has prepared
al chart showing the nutritive analy-
sis of all common western feeds,
and these charts are available with

LIVESTOCK
SITUATION
bYJ.A.MeNAuGHTON

August 14-Mr. j. A. McNaughton,
President and General Man
ager of the Los Angeles Union
Stock Yards, says: All over the
west, we hear reports of serious
shortage of labor on farms and
ranches, due largely to the drain of
msnpower by the Army and nation
al defense industries. RancherS
are having a difficult time to Sc
cure help, and the attractive wages
being paid in defense industries are
having their effect in raising the
cost Of farm and ranch labor. Beef
cattle raiSers are in about the best
position of any of our stockmen,
because they require less labor in
their operations than do dairymen
or hog feeders.
However, the beef cattle business
in California and adjoining states
has been undergoing change in
the past decade that has neceSsi-
tated more labor. For one thing,
feeC-lot fattening of cattle has de-
veloped on a large scale in western
states, with the result that great
many farms are raising hay and
concentrates, harvesting these feeds,
grinding and mixing them, and
feeding them to cattle, all Of which
requires labor. Then also, it has
become a common practice to pro-
vide supplemental feed or irrigated
pasture for breeding herds during
part of the year, This also neceSsi-
tates additional help.
Farm machinery manufacturers
have made tremendous strides in
designing machinery to cut down on
the amount of labor required on
ranches. For example, a cattle feed
ing truck has been perfected that
automatically pushes feed from
both sides into troughs throughout
a feed yard, SO that one man with
this truck can feed around 1900
head of beef cattle twice a day
Forage harvesters have been devel-
Oped that cut the material, chop it
and load it on wagon in one oper-

$4,000 was authorized in bill that
passed the House on July 5, 1889,
it is my impression that only about
$4,000 is actually available for such
construction.
The best thing in this connection,
however, is that the Republic OF
Mexico has planned to set aside an
equal area in joint commemoration.
DEFENSE HIGHWAY
The vote on August 7th in the
House on over riding the Presi-
dents veto of the Defense Highway
measure, which might also be
known as the Hayden Road Bill,
was exceedingly close.
The Constitution prescribes that
it shall take two-thirds vote to
override the Presidents veto. The
day before, the Senate under the
effective influence of Senator Hay
den, had voted ST to 19 to override
the Presidents veto.
When the vote had been complet-
ed in the House the following day,
but not yet announced by the Speak
Ell, somebody slipped up to the
Speakers desk and read the tabu-
lation over the clerks shoulder and
reported to a few members in a
whisper that the vote was 252 for
overriding the veto and 127 for
sustaining it.
Of course, if the vote had been
announced at that moment, the
President would have been sustain
ed, but the Speaker avoided an
nouncing the vote and recapitu-
lation was had, and some votes
, we're changed from nay to yea but
more were changed from yea to nay
So, the Road Bill which I regard
ed well planned by Senator Hayden
/ was eliminated by this close vote
sustaining the Presidential veto.
