Lugbill also disagreed with an
other cattleman about the time of
buying feeder stock. You can get
feeder stock anytime the price is
right" he said. Some fellows
feel. that an early purchase of
feeders in the fall is important.
They claim it gives the animals
chance to get set for the winter.
There is no such thing as this.
Just give them plenty of feed and
they will stand any weather we'll"

was more optimistic than some of
the others. Beef cattle should
make money during the next feed
ing period" he commented. but
you are going to have to buy right
and feed right. There are 100
ways to feed, but unfortunately
too many of them are not good.
You need grain to put finish and
quality on beef animal-but
grain is out of line with the pres
ent selling price of beef cattle"
Too many farmers have de-
pended on getting their supply of
feeder stock from the west" ex-
claimed w. A. Martin from Ken
ton. more farmers should be de-
veloping their own COW herd. This
would mean removing some of the
risk of buying high and having to
sell low.
Aside from recommending the
building of COW herd Martin ex-
pressed the feeling that there are
still some blows" to be felt yet
in the cattle business. "If you are
going to buy feeder stock this
fall, don't try to overload or bid
against the other fellow" he ad-
vised. Buy right, feed right,
watch your sanitation and you
may come out in the black"

AROUND
OHIO
BY George h. -zeis

When the Ohio Cattle Feeders
Association met in Kenton the
latter part of July. they had sew
eral hot topics to talk about. One
was the weather-it was about 95
degrees in the shade. The other
subject was, naturally. about the
beef cattle business.
The afternoon program consist
ed mostly of panel of men talk
ing about the question, Are costs
too high TO make money feeding
cattle?" Even among this panel
OF experts in the beef cattle busi-
ness there seemed to be quite a
bit of disagreement.
A fellow by the name of Robert
Blackjack, from Plymouth, Ohio,
said he felt there were too MANY
"inners-and-outers" trying to feed
beef cattle. When prices are good
they try to make every dollar
they can. When times get rough,
relatively speaking, they sell out.
This tends to upset the so-called
normal marketing of beef cattle,
But Blackjack felt that the wide
fluctuation in beef cattle has
pretty well run its course. Those
who bought cattle this spring
should be in pretty good shape.
The price was right decent, he
said. And another thing, there
aren't as many commercial feed
ers this year as last. This might
make 1t better for the regular
feeder.
A beef feeder from Fremont
Dwight Wise, claimed there is toe
much money wasted in feeding
The beef cattle feeder is going to
have to cut down on the expensive
feeds he has been using. It costs
four times as much to buy food
nutrients in grain as what you get
out of grass, he said.
About this time, Sylvanus Lug
bill from Archbold, waved for at.
tention. Il don't agree" he said.
There is too much sawdust and
corn cobs being feed now. Give

to 100 bushels per acre, the cost
per acre went from $52.85 to
$55.33. The cost per bushel drop
ped from 88 cents to SIS cents.
And the net profits per acre
zoomed from $31.2O to $84.67 per
acre. a
The route to efficient produc-
ton, high yields and low costs
lies in good soil management
methods, including the use of
fertilizer. Fertilizer has three
major benefits: lit feeds the
crops the nutrients they need for
healthy, extra-bushel growth; 2

UNIVERSITY of Illinois agricul-
tural economists report that even
though farm income is declining,
efficient producers can still make
reasonably high earnings. Ineffi-
cient operators, however, may be
in for a hard time.
These economists point out that
efficient production calls for high
yields per acre and high yield per
hour of farm work. Labor ex-
pended in crop production on
fertile soil will give higher yields
both per acre and per hour of
wark, according to these econo-
mists.

Jews in the 18th century were

for building the Synagogue. He
made a tiresome journey to
Charleston in order to be present
at the dedication of Beth Elohem.

were held by the enemy. His wife
and four children had taken re-
fuge in Charleston and were in
distress. He had no alternative
but to petition the government
for repayment of the money and
provisions he had advanced.
Actually he had sacrificed every
thing for his country. The bill for
back pay and provisions ran up
to $4,000 in paper money. An
additional claim for financing an
expedition against the Indians,
for supplies to the troops, and for
his share in a brigantine captured
and burned by the enemy
amounted to 1900 pounds sterling.
He succeeded in getting back

negligible buying power.
