Commercial Clab
and Shiner Community
There is one enterprise that our
community is in great need of.
That is a corn sheller and feed
grinding plant. Not only will it
benefit the community, but will
also prove a paying business or
investment for some one willing
to undertake the job. Cuero has
a large plant of that kind, in
which all sorts of mixed feed are
made. This plant crushes corn,
cob and shuck so fine that the
finished product can hardly be
recognized for what all it con-
tains. Corn tops, sorgum, and
in fact any kind of feed can be
ground in to meal. In that way
there is no waste of feed and
proper mixtures are easily made.
We all know that when corn tops
or any other ft ed is fed, how
much of it is wasted. Today’s,
Thursday Aug. 24th. San An-
tonio Express on page 9, news
colum prints the following;
Kansas City Aug. 24th. Yearl
ing steers and mixed steers and
heifers established new top
prices, the highest since 1925, in
their respective classes on the
Kansas City market Wednesday.
Nineteen yearlings averaging
1,000 pounds sold at $14.00 a
hundred, and 23 mixed yearlings
and heifers, averaging a little
under 1.000 pounds sold at
$13.55.”
This proves that not only milk
type cattle are profitable but that
beef cattle are well worth our
consideration too. A 1.000 lb,
yearling at $14.00 per hundred
brings $140.00 per head, ten head
of such type will bring more than
a very good size cotton crop.
Some of you will say Oh! That
is northern cattle, we cannot
raise that class of cattle here.
Now let me show you that we
can. In 1925 a boy living close
to Houston raised a calf, Durh m
and Brahma cross that weighed
864 lbs. live weight at 9 mos.,
and sold it to Rice Hotel at $8 00
per hundred live weight.
That same year another boy
raised Holstein calf atFredericks.
burg, this calf was 10 mos. old
and weighed 984 lbs. and sold for
$9.00 per hundred weight. 1914
I bought a cow from now deceas-
ed Mr. wm Green, this was a
Durham cow well fed on corn
and home grown feed, This cdw
dressed 61 percent and weighed
778 lbs. meat.
Again I wish to draw your at-
tention that the Club meets First

that benefits the farmer benefits
the people in the City, not only
that but there are other ques-

This is not a one, two or three

would be so because you did not
take enough interest in " it and
