DADDY’S NEVER COMING
HOME, DARLING!
“Yes, we know he promised, but
that was a promise he couldn’t
keep. Remember how he told you
to be a brave girl If he couldn’t
come home?
“Daddy would want to be proud
of you, you know ... so be brave
for his sake, because he can never
come home, now.’’
So many small sons and daugh-
ters will have only shadowy mem-
ories of their Daddys ... so many
young mothers must face the fu-
ture alone ... a future they’re so
Ill-prepared to cope with.
Children have a way of needing
so many things . . . clothes and
food . . . school supplies and new
shoes. And somehow one just nev-
er knows where the money goes.
Think of all the problems that
arise in everyday living. It takes
a steadfast heart and an unfailing
courage to meet them all alone
and at times even the strongest
courage wavers. Where can she
turn when the going gets too
rough? Who will give her a spark
of hope when It seems as if she
can’t go on?
While she Is making her adjust-
ment, the Red Cross stands ready
to be of service—to help her face
the future. It is a friend In need
—a neighbor who will understand,
provide guidance and help over the
lonely road ahead.

Yes, she’s back at her old job of home-making—
that 24-hour-a-day job with no overtime pay.
Mom learned a lot about electric service during
the war. She found that stitching up a cruiser and
stitching up a curtain are both done more easily
and quickly when electricity lends a hand.
And when home-making had to be sandwiched
in after war-plant hours, Mom learned that the
touch of a finger-tip brought her a dozen willing
servants for the cost of a candy bar.
Mom’s back in the kitchen. And electric service
—always ready, dependable and cheap—is there
with her, making her tasks easier, her life more com-
fortable. Service like that just doesn’t happen. It
takes hard work and good business management.
The men and women in Mom’s electric company—
and yours, too—make it possible.

“Easy does it”
Yes, "easy does it” when loading, unloading or han-
dling livestock.
Bruises, crippling and death losses cost American
stockmen 12 million dollars each year—equivalent
to the value of a single file of market hogs stretch-
ing all the way from St. Louis to Chicago.
And the producers do pay those losses; directly
through deaths and excessive shrink caftsed by
bad loading and shipping practices... indirectly
through bruises (we find them in over 20 % of all
livestock slaughtered!) which reduce the value of
otherwise good carcasses. Yet a great part of those
losses can be prevented with a little extra care when
loading, unloading and handling.
So, that’s why we suggest "easy does it”—and
that you keep these six "loss-stoppers” in mind:
(1) Never beat animals with whips or clubs. Use
canvas slappers or electric prods... (2) Inspect
chutes, trucks and cars for nails, splinters, etc.....
(3) Furnish good footing; bed properly. For hogs,
cover dry sand with straw for winter shipping; use
wet sand in summer ... (4) Cover floors of loading
or unloading chutes with straw... (5) Do not
overload. Partition mixed loads ... (S) Easy does
it when trucking. Avoid sudden starts and stops.
Check your load frequently for crowding.
We’ll be glad to mail you instructive Agricultural
Research Bulletin No. 20, "Preventing Losses in
Handling Livestock.” Address request to Depart-
ment BB, Swift & Company, Chicago 9, 111.
Native Range Grasses may be supplemented by
seeding abandoned land to adapted range grasses. In-
termediate wheatgrass, crested wheatgrass, Russian
wild rye, smooth brome grass, and western wheatgrass
have done well in Colorado dry-land pastures. They
may be seeded in early spring or late fall.

THE EDITOR’S COLUMN
From time to time, it will be our policy to have various
members of the Swift & Company organization write
this column. So, let me introduce to you this month’s
"guest editor,” T. G. (Tom) Chase, one of my asso-
ciates in the Agricultural Research Department.
ion. Editor
There’s an old story about a
downstate cattle feeder who
brought a load of steers to Chi-
cago to be sold. He turned
them over to his commission
.. „. —— man, then wandered around the
YardB, for it was his first trip to Chicago. Soon he
was back, all excited—"Sell those steers right away
T. O. Chase
for whatever you can get. There’s not enough peo-
rfd to eat all the cattle I’ve seen here!”
pie in the work
The salesman managed to calm him down and
sent, him downtown to see the city. He landed in
the heart of Chicago, took one look at the crowd
' shed into a drugstore to ’phone
of people, and dash _ St sS|
his salesman. "Hold those steers of mine for the
highest price. There’s not enough meat in the world
to feed all these people!"
This old story makes a good point. All of you
know the price we can pay for your livestock is
governed by what we can get for the meat and
by-products. Also you know that what we can get
for the meat and the by-products is greatly affected
by the supply of livestock and the demand for
meats. The ever-present problem among producers
and meat packers is the matching of the supply
with the demand, wherever the supply and demand
may be. The job of nation wide meat packers is to
balance the supply of merit with the demand by
efficient distribution of the meat to the pla~—
where people want to buy it.

KEEP EWES
WITH GOOD FLEECES
by Dean J. A. Hill, University of Wyoming
Before shearing time, range flock
ewes should be carefully examined
and the ones with poor fleeces marked
for culling later. Experience in west-
ern states during 25 years has shown
that 20 to 30% more wool per sheep can be obtained
by the systematic selection of range ewes. ‘
One livestock man reported that the average weight
of fleeces from his flocks, of about 40,000 head, had in-
creased nearly 3 pounds during a period of ten years of
systematic culling in cooperation with the University of
Wyoming. He got better lambs, too. Others report sim-
ilar results obtained by searching out and discarding the
ewes which are below standard in wool production.
With today’s high costs, any range ewe which does
not shear a big fleece of first-class wool is a money-loser.
By a systematic examination, any flock master can find
the ewes with fleeces which are one or more pounds less
than the average of his flock. The agricultural colleges
of practically all the western states are glad to help
flock masters get started in a program of wool improve-
ment.
It is a far cry—an average of
over 1,000 miles—from live-
stock on the Western range to
meat on the kitchen range.
Ollie E. Jones is the man who,
perhaps more than any other,
helps bridge that gap. ~
Ollie Jones, bom on a farm in central Illinois,
has never lost his interest in agriculture. He
now produces and feeds livestock on his 500-
i farm in Illinois.

Taking a beginner’s job with Swift & Com-
pany, he learned the business literally "from
the ground up.” He advanced steadily through
many divisions of the Company, to become
vice president in charge of sales, advertising
and merchandising.
The nationwide sales departments which he
heads market more of the products of American
farms and ranches than any other organization
in the country. That’s why we say at the start
of this story, "You raise ’em—he sells ’em.”
