EMIS COUNTY NEWS SHATTUCK OKLAHOMA
FAIRNESS IS GOVERNMENT’S ONE GREAT
OBJECT IN MARKET NEWS DISTRIBUTION
Telegraphic Reports From Many Centers Regarding the Movement of Many
Products Form the Basis of Federal Market Dispatches
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment o( Agriculture)
The authority hack of a market re-
port largely determines Its value Re-
ports from the bureau of markets Uni-
ted States department of agriculture
are counted of peculiar value In the
maintenance of healthful ec nmle con-
ditions In America because they sup-
ply Information that is comprehensive
always up-to-date and unbiased
What may be characterized as- the
key positions in the government's market-reporting
organizations are the
market stutions These are branches
of the bureau of markets maintained
In nearly a score of the larger cities
and one of their chief functions Is to
collect and distribute market news re-
lating to several or all of the following
products : Fruits and vegetables live
'stock and meats dairy products hay
'grain and mill feeds and seeds
Most of the branch offices are con-
nected by leased wire with Washing-
ton and receive and distribute market
news daily The original data are as-
sembled nnd condensed Into reports
reviews and press articles which are
distributed according to the needs of
the market Most of the mien in
charge of this work hnve had technical
training and considerable experience
either in production or marketing
Station Men Understand Selling
1 The work of these men resembles
that of the county agent In that it
‘is localized but it differs from it since
'it deals primarily with the selling and
not the producing phase of agriculture
In other words the market station mnn
begins where the county agent in most
cases leaves off He is able to an-
alyze market problems comprehensive-
ly because lie meets denlers shippers
and buyers nnd is in daily touch with
local trade conditions
The co-operntlon which the market
stations maintain with State market-
ing agents in 27 states is a decidely
helpful fenture of the market news
service The national service is con-
cerned chiefly with the wholesale mar-
keting of produce shipped from one
state to another but the state ngents
are interested in local produce both
wholesale and retail The national nnd
state forces often unite not only in se-
curing information but in helping to
solve special marketing problems and
conditions such as the more rapid
movement of crops In seasons of heavy
production
The service of the market stations
STEERS STARTED ON SILAGE
Material Is Bulky Enough to Eliminate
Danger From Overfeeding and Is
Much Relished
Silage has largely solved the prob-
lem of starting steers on feed It is
bulky enough to eliminate danger from
overeating nnd unless cattle are ac-
customed to It they rarely eat greedily
of it at t' e start according to (Jeorge
W 1 y of Iowa State college
Western range cattle that never saw
corn lake to silage ns quickly ns those
of our native entile that are not nc-
customed to it When fed fodder these
western cattle at first pick oft the
leaves nnd husks leaving the stalks
nnd ears With silage they get ac-
quainted with the corn taste at the
start
When grain Is added to the ration If
spread over the silage it is more even-
ly shared by the steers Even when
cattle are going at once onto n heavy
grain feed a start with silage is best
ns it nllows a more rapid increase in
the grain ration without danger
A short preliminary feed of silage
also puts them in good condition to
jmake the best use of the grain ration
Inter Silage has a place in every
Ifeed lot that nothing else can quite
I fill
jMORE PROTEIN IN LEGUMES
Also More Carbohydrates in Alfalfa
Cowpeas and Such Crops Than
in Johnson Grass
I Alfalfa clover lespedeza cowpeas
soy beans peanuts all contain con-
siderably more protein and more car-
bohydrates as well than the non-
legume hay such as Johnson grass
timothy prairie sorghum etc
and state agencies tends to displace
many of the private agencies whose
scom of operation is apt to be less
comprehensive prompt nnd reliable
In addition to this general information
which might be called routine market
news various sections in the bureau
of markets render important service
by securing datn ‘regarding special
commodities The fertilizer sections
for example have conducted Inquiries
and made reports on the supply and
demand for fertilizers nnd fertilizer
material The transportation sections
have rendered valuable nld In securing
complete and regular reports on ship-
ments and also by exptNllling the un-
loading and return of curs Without
Information on these related subjects
buyers and sellers often would go far
wrong In their bargaining
ITompt distribution of the Informa-
tion which the bureau of markets’ rep-
resentatives secure Is essential to Its
value Reports are collected early In
the morning and are telegraphed from
city to city so that they can be pub-
lished the same day In this way mar-
ket information for the entire country
is placed in the city dealers’ hands a
few hours after it Is collected and
often shippers at remote country
points hnve the datn the morning fol-
lowing Its compilation The reports
show not only actual sales or ship-
ments of various commodities hut oth-
er Important Items which have a bear-
ing on the markets
Scope of Information
In the course of tiie year the infor-
mation made available through the
United States department of agricul-
ture lias to do with the marketing of
between 1500000 and 2000000 car-
loads of live stock and 500 (XX) to 750-
(XX) cars of fruits and vegetables Tiie
movement of cotton dairy products I
dressed meat grain and feed is cov-
ered in the same comprehensive fash-
ion It lias been estimated that the I
department's market news reaches
from 4000000 to 5000 (XX) readers
through tiie newspapers while the
market bulletins reports reviews nnd
special articles go to tens of thousands
of growers nnd dealers Obviously the
growers and dealers profit directly
from the market news service because
of its completeness nnd fairness but
of no less Importance is the benefit to
the public at lurge resulting from i
healthful nbove-board competition pro-
moted by easily obtainable market Information
COLTS REQUIRE MUCH GRAIN
If Animals Are Compelled to Consume
Large Quantities of Silage They
Develop Slowly
At the University of Missouri
colts hnve grown from 5G2 pounds
in weight on September 15 to 897
pounds on April 21 on a daily ration
of 842 pounds of one-half shelled corn
nnd one-half oats nnd 78 pounds of
hay Colts can consume small qunn-
titles of silage but if they nre
forced to eat large quantities of silage BUSINESS OF FEEDING STOCK
they cannot be expected to grow as I
much ns they would if fed more lib-
erally on grain
Rrnn when available and a small
qiinntltity of oilmenl may be fed to
advantage to colts Exercise fresh wa-
ter nnd good quarters must be fur-
nished if best results are to be expect-
ed but It should be borne In mind
that the colt which arrives at Its year-
ling form stunted and thin will be
handicapped for tiie next two or three
years of its life and may perhnps
never fully recover '
DIGESTIBLE HAY NUTRIENTS
Nearly Three Times as Much in
Timothy as in Com Silage —
Latter More Palatable
In 100 lbs of timothy hay there are
488 lbs of digestible nrftrients or
nearly three times as much as there
is In corn silage Corn silage being
a succulent feed and more palatable
Is on the whole more easily digested
Ve have always calculated that one
ton of timothy hay Is equivalent to
about two end a half tons of com
silage Putting it In another way
when timothy hay Is worth $10 a ton
corn silage is worth $4
LESS FARM ANIMALS IN 1919
Interesting to Note That Mules and
Milch Cows Show Slight Increase
in Numbers
A plight Increase in tiie number of
milcli cows and mules and n moderate
decrease in tiie number of other cat-
tle (calves steers bulls and cows not
for milk)' horses sheep and swine are
tiie outstanding features of a survey
of live stork on farms nnd ranges of
the United States on January 1 ns
compnred with a year ago made by
the bureau of crop estimates United
States department of agriculture
Milcli cows have Increased about
272000 head or 12 per cent mules
increased 41000 head or 08 per cent
“other” cattle (ns designated above)
decreased 700000 head or 16 per
cent horses decreased 373000 head
or 17 per cent sheep decreased 251-
000 head or 05 per cent and swine
decreased 1073000 head or 22 per
cent
The estimated number of animals on
farms nnd ranges Jnnuary 1 are "21-
109000 horses 4995000 mules 23-
747000 milch cows 44385000 other
cattle 4SG13000 sheep nnd 72009000
hogs Tiie total of all anlmnls is
2L57C0(XX) which Is 26SG000 head or
12 per cent less than a year ago
Tiie total vnlue of all farm animals
on January 1 was about $8561000000
which Is a shrinkage of $260000000
or 3 per cent compnred with a year
ngo It is an Interesting observation
that mules and milch cows which In-
A Good Mule Can Stand More Hard
Work Than a Horse and He Will
Consume Less Feed
creased In numbers also increased In
vnlue per head whereas all other
classes of animals decreased in value
per head as well as In total numbers

kind of food supplied A mature sow

ing and gestation periods as she nor-
mally loses during the farrowing and
Buckling periods On the average this
will be from 65 to 85 pounds

ple hnve died through the notion of

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
1 i
’ Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many producta that are ex-
tensively advertised all at once drop out
of -sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain — the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer Tbia
applies more particularly to a medicine
A medicinal preparation that haa real
curative value almost sells itself as like
an endless chain system the remedy ia
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it
A prominent druggist says “Take for
example Dr Kilmer’s Swamp-Root a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
sults as many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy has so large a
Bale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation the success of Dr
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is due to the fact
to many people claim that it fulfills al-
most every wish in overcoming kidney
liver and bladder ailments corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the urio
acid which causes rheumatism

Honey Yield Higher
The average yield of surplus honey
in 1919 was 50 pounds to a colony of
honey bees as estimated by the bu-
reau of crop estimates United States
department of agriculture This Is con-
siderably above average of 43 pounds
in 1918 and of 41 6-10 pounds for the
five years 1913-1917 The relative pro-
portions in which the honey of the
last two years was marketed are indi-
cated by 59 for extracted honey 31 for
com!) lioney and 10 for bulk honey
About one-third of the product goes to
“outside” markets
