Crop Yistd Should Be Doubled,
ll'hlle any figures that may be made
necessarily ara conjectural, It 1* rea-
sonably **fa to estimate that tlm aver-
age yield of the crop acreage of Ibe
United State* could be doubled if ade-
qunft> methods of faruUng were effec-
tively put Into practice. Ia England,
France. Germany and other European
countries the wheat acreage yield be-
fore the war was about twice that of
the United State*. We deduce these
conclusions:
America'* production per acre of ce-
reals used for human foodstuff* now
for eucb vegetable foodstuff* as may |
be derived from tbe soil. Man. being
the stronger, dominates and controls
the production and supply of regeta- \
ble food product*. From* each year's
crop, first of all, be takes what he re- J
quires, feeds himself, and permit* what
ts left to go to feed live stock. Thus,
appears, that our live stock-our
meat supply reaource—la dependent In
large part upon what man, having fed
himself, leaves of (he annual products
of the soil. Of course there Is other
vegetation which live stock can he
fed upon—vegetable matter which man
does not require nn<\cannot eat.
Live stock can be maintained and, to
some extent, prepared for market by
grazing.
Live stock can be ralaed and made
marketable by feeding upon the by-
products from cereal and other vege-
table crops.
Waste of Feeding Stuff*.
When live stock is grazed upon lands
which cannot profitably be tilled and
made to produce cereals or vegetables
*uch live atoefc Is a clear profit and an
addition to liuman food supplies. But
where good conditioned, tillable land ia
abandoned to grazing there la likely to
be a definite loss of vegetable food-
stuffs and their byproducts. In other
words, land In proper condition cart be
made to produce more foodstuff values
by cultivation than by use as pastur-
age. However, this does not mean, that
soil areas should not have rest—or,
better stilt, refertillzatlon such as Is
brought about by use of tt for pastur-
ing live stock.
If the byproducts—tbe forage—aris-
ing from cereal aud vegetable crops
are not made use of to feed live stock,
then the stock will have to live off of
what Is left of the cereal* after human
requirements are fully supplied. Thus
the live stock or meat supply, leaving
out of consideration that which is pro-
duced solely by grazing on untillsble
lands, would represent each year's
surplus cereal crop. And a year of
short crops—years wheu the cereal
surplus is small—would bring about
the slaughtering of stock, reducing the
number to be fed.
Tbe possibilities of byproduct forage
feeding are farreaching, almost incal-
culable. The department of agricul-
ture's report. 112 has much to say con-
cerning tbe values of'such products. I
bare space to quote merely this:
Tbe animal husbandry division, ln
co-operation with the bureau of crop
estimates, has made a study of feeding
stuffs. In which tt ts shown that a tre-
mendous waste of feeding stuffs oc-
curs annually on American farms. The
total loss to farmers from the w*«to 1
of corn fodder and straw amounts to
about $1Q2.8<*.MXH) each year. * * * A
nation wide campaign to teach the i
value and food unit values of all the
more common feeding stuffs would be
a great step toward a more perfect
agricultural system."
Farmer* Should Act.
The bureau's suggestion of a nation
wide campaign Is well and good, and
suob propaganda work may become ad-
visable; but. individual farmers should
uot wait for such a movement. They
now know. In fact, the Individual
farmer who begins on his own account
to use all of the byproducts of his
cropping hitherto wssted wilt make
larger profits than If he wait until all
other farmers are induced to do like-
wise. The farmer or live stock raiser
who ts not utilizing all of the byprod-
ucts of Ills farm Is. not only losing
money, but he Is working an Injury
upon all the people of the United
State*. The efficient farmer I* the one
who utilizes every hit of greet) stuff
that grow* on his place and, after he
harvests his grain crops, takes the res-
idue and store* it ln such a manner
that It does not lose It* worth and then
transforms this into meat by feeding
it to live stock.
Amarican Liv# Stock Problem.
The true lest of the American live
stock problem Is. What do American
llTe stock conditions show when com-
pared with .what they might he?
1 have shown that the report of the
anljnal husbandry division estimates
that the annual loss In waste of straw
and fodder amounts to more than a
hundred milliou dollars. It is uot prac-
ticable to discus* the Intricate phase*
of live stock feeding In so brief un ar*
An Increase of theJftcreag* produc-
tion will not only Increase the amount
of grain produced, but also will In-
crease the amount bf eerenl byproduct*
available for live stock feed lira.
By Increasing cereal production there
will be a cessation of pseudo competi-
tion between human beluga and liv*
atock for cereal foodstuffs.
Therefore, to increase live stock pro-
duction, cereal production should be
increased, and live atock Increase In-
evitably will follow.
Obstaol** to Efficient Farming.
Certain obstacles tend to prevent
more efficient farming and the Increase
of cereal production. Some of thepe
are general and can be dealt with by
changing nation wide conditions. Oth-
evs ore psychological, personal, local.
Idiosyncratic. One of these, for ex-
ample. which might be changed by
the leasing landowner ln bis own Inter-
est is the one year tenure lease. The
tenant farmer under such a lease cau-
not wisely undertake to raise live
stock, especially cattle, nor enter upon
any other enterprise the consummation
of which extends ^eyond the end of
his leasehold. He may risk raising
hogs, but to do eYen that be must
have feed troughs, fencing, sheds and
feed preparing devices. With a short
term lease the tenant cannot afford to
A surprise
—in biscuits
When my mother brought in
the plate ot hot biscuits she said:
“Thank goodness they til rood out
light! Your Cottolcne certainly
does make them light.”
She meant the Cottolcne that
Mr. C. had given me to try.
My small sister teased Mother
about butter, because Mother had
always sworn by butter for biscuit
making.
But Mother had to admit that
Cottolene was quicker and easier
beside being cheaper than butter—
and yet that Cottolene biscuits
tyted every bit as good as butter
biscuits. She said she had never
yet seen a shortening that mixed a*
evenly and smoothly as Cottolene.
The biscuits were rich and crisp
with a delicious flavor

that will make the farm efficiently

In Ids lease. 1 am advised that ap-
proximately onc-balf of the farm lands
In Illinois are operated by tenantry
and that they are almost wholly let on
one year leaseholds. But It should
not be understood that 1 am attempt-
ing to rnuke It appear that longer
leases would euro all live atock deficits
I am merely pointing out bow seem-
ingly Irrelevant and remote conditions
are directly correlated with and may
be determining factors ln live stock
raising and how they may Impede and
olwtruct It. Much might be said con-
cerning the farmer's personal Inertia,
tenant or owner. He Is Inclined to let
well enough alone, and. conditions now
being favorable, be finds little Impul-
sion to change.
American Farmar'a Opportunity,
Glittering, fascinating opportunity
thrusts Itself upon tbe American farm-
er. The world is face to face with food
shortnee, with fatplnel Thc^untllled
and half tilled acre* and the thought-
lessly wasted byproducts of American
cereal crops indicate an easy and prof-
(table solution of this momentous prob-
lem of feeding tbe world. And not
only that, but tbe American farmer
can enrich himself at tbe same time
that he meets the requirement* of
mankind. It Is folly to suppose that
existing food shortages will he allowed
to continue, resulting In greater, great-
er and ever greater prices for bread
and meat. Persistent priee increases
Inevitably must drive governments to
seize foodstuffs and to control the
means of producing foods and to fix-
ing maximum prices for subsistence
stores so that the people1 At 111 not
starve.
And all over the world, and all of
th» time, government w-iii enforce-as
now all over Europe-tbe peoplelztng
of nunvnilable lands, that the'landless
may not starve. The American farm-
er can meet the requirements of the
world by Increasing his farm efficiency,
and the first to do It will profit most.
He should make his lands yield to the
uttermost. He should utilize all the
byproduct* of his cereal crops, nil of
the green *tuff, to feed to live stock.
Great changes—change* compelled by
overmastering conditions—confront the
world. Men are no longer untram-
meled master* of that which they call
their own. They who own the World
find that the world own4 them. The
struggle for food Increase* and Intensi-
fies, the farmer controls the means of
food creation, aud regulation la tbe
watchword of government. And Wbat
la tbe answer?
to use, SO satisfactory iu
service.
