PIG IRON AND WATCH SPRINGS
By T. C. RICHARDSON. Secretary
Breeder-Feeder Association
There Is a classic illustration
of the value of skill which tells
us that a ton of watch spring Is
worth several thousand times
the value of the pig iron or steel
from which they are made. The
same kind of transformation,
though not in such spectacular
proportions, occurs every day on
the farm A ton of hay is a
truck load worth a few dollars,
and if it travels far the ride will
cost more than the hay. Feed
the hay to a cow the butterfat
it produces is worth several
times as much as the ton of hay
and will go to town in a can.
A dollar a bushel would be a
high price for barley, but Greer
.Creager of Wilbarger County sold
100 bushels of barley for $300 It
wasn't a rare and valuable vari-
r*y fer seed just ordinary bar-
ley worth on the grain market
at that time somew’here around
00 to 75 cents It is no mystery
and no fable Mr. Creager had
some pigs which had grown up
on Sudan grass pasture and skim
milk. He ground the barley and
ff-d it to the pigs; it sold for
$300 in the form of pork Just
another case of the bar steel and
the watch springs.
Ten acres of "careless” weeds
in Willacy County. Texas, sold
for about $300 in cash in 1919. A
bunch of cows grazed it for
three months, with no other
feed, and the eream produced
brought the owner of the cows
$100 a month, better than $3 a
day. The transformation did
the trick That weed-grown ten
acres of old field paid the owner
more than any ten acres he had
in cotton, and cotton worth 35
cents a pound that year. If he
hadn't the cuts, if the cows had
| not that
Iron when you can make watch
springs of it? Eggs and milk,
meat and wool, are but the re-
fined forms of grain and forage
Several acres of crops can be
wrapped in a steer’s hide; a good
cow well fed will produce milk or
butterfat equal to her own value
every year, and raise a calf be-
sides; a ewe will raise a lamb
worth as much on the market
as his dam in half a year, and
pay for the privilege wtlh wool.
Feed crops, whether of grain
or roughage, are worth no more
for productive purposes after a
long ride by truck or train than
they are on the farm where
they grew. Clearly then the
farm-r who turns them into fin-
ished products right on the
ground has a distinct advantage
in the economy of production;
and economy of production is the
first step toward profitable sale.
It is never true economy to
stint the feed of growing animals
and fowls which are being sold.
Rather the farmer, thinking in
terms of selling his feed to the
best advantage, tries to get as
much of it as possible into meat
or milk or eggs It is also some-
times good economy to buy what-
ever is necessary to make up a
good balanced ration if the farm
does not supply it. In other
words corn alone will fatten a
hog. but with a protein supple-
ment it will go farther and fat-
ten better.
Young fowls and animals make
most rapid gains in weight, and
weight is primarily what we sell,
but the young need more highly
concentrated feeds than the old.
It is not true economy to try to
make baby beef with hay or fit
turkeys for market without
grain Both weight and quality
miraculously alchemy, * decide the price, and both must
the ten acres would have paid no
rent, he would have been short
$300 for three months milking
chores, and the whole communi -
tv would have been $300 less
wel) off at the end of the year.
These are extreme cases, but
facts nevertheless. Why sell pig
be kept in mind, especially in the
latter part of the finishing peri-
od The rule among successful
feeders is to keep 'em growing
fast when young and crowd ’em
with everything they need and
will take before you go to town
with 'em "

The Southern Newspaper Pub-
lishers' Association Wednesday
adjourned Its thirty-sixth annual
convention after receiving from
James G. Stahlman, chairman
of the newsprint plant was ready
to be built.
Mr. Stahlman said that after
four years of negotiations and
study by the S.N.P.A. his com-
mittee successfully finished ten-
tative plans for starting the
plant in July at Lufkin. Texas
‘‘I honestly believe." said Mr.
Stahlman, publisher of the Nash
▼tile Banner and president of the
American Newspaper Publishers'
Association, “that the minute
this first unit starts producing,
we shall see an influx of news-
print mills In the South and the
greatest industrial development
the South has ever shown."
He said his committee, in spite
of discouragements, had refused
to listen to adverse talk but had
contracted for about 800.000 tons
of newsprint to be manufactured
by the mill
He said: "We were advised in
the beginning by a sound banker
that the only way to put the
mill over would be for the bank-
ers to participate We thought
we knew better. I came to the
conclusion that it would not be
built unless the publishers put
their money Into the project.”
He announced a good portion
of the $7,500,000 needed for the
mill had been subscribed in
stock.
“I have been asked what I
could get out of It.” he added "I
am telling you now—not one red
cent in stock I said in the be-
ginning that I would not have
one cent of stock in the mill and
I am telling you now I would not
profit from anything I did for
the Southern Newspaper Pub-
lishers' Asscoiatlon.”
