ARKANSAS NEEDS

OPPORTU NTIES FOR RAISING
CATTLE GREATER THAN IN
THE NORTH.
BEEF PRICES REMAIN HIGH
Breed* to Keep Depend on Markets —
Holstein Favored of Dairy Breeds—
Boarding Cows Must Go to Market
—Shorthorn Good Breed For Arkan

Expenses.
By H. F. Auten, Chairman Profitable
Farming Campaign, Little Rock, Ar
kansas.
The first question asked by the far
mer Is what kind of cattle shall !
raise. The answer is prompt. Rai«e
the kind that will produce the most
money in the shortest time, and this li
the question that must be answered
by the experience of successful stock
farmers. If you reside at or near a
market w here milk can be readily sold,
then you should use only dairy cows,
such as the Holstein, Guernsey or.Jer
sey, and these cows in dairy districts
are popular in the order Just named.
Any cow which does not produce four
to five thousand quarts of milk per
year should be sold to the butcher.
Milk will sell wholesale at 5 to 6 cents
per quart and will retail at 10 cents
per quart.
In case the farmer has no milk mar
ket handy, he should then raise cattle
which will produce a fair quantity ot
milk and butter, and at the same time
produce good beef. These require
ments are met more fully by the beef
and butter strain of Shorthorns than
by any other breed of cattle The
Hereford, sometimes called the "white
lace,” and the Scotch Shorthorn are
purely beef animals, but they are not

horns. The eov <1 of this b'eed \ :
weigh from l,2d0 to i.fioe rounds p
at maturity, nr,d m-ke from S to 1)
pounds of butter per week. The |'V
cel post makes It possible for evorv
farmer In the state to send his butter
to some central market, and fresh
dairy butter will sell the year round
at from 25 to 40 cents per pound. This
means that each cow will produce
from JXOO to J5.00 worth of butter per
week. The small farmer who is only
able to keep three or four cows will
thus be enabled from his butter tc
buy his family supplies, clothing and
purchase school books for the children
and the calf when grown will bring
just as much as one of the calves from
the purely beef strain and will be
clear profit, owing to the fact that the
cow has paid her way the year round.
In case of purely beef cattle the far
mer has to feed the cow one year tn
order to get the calf and then has to
feed the calf the next two years, "and
all he gets for this three years of feed
is the sale of the calf.

Start at Wrong End.

By Prof. P. G. Holden, Director of the
Agricultural Extension Department,
the International Harvester Com
pany, Harvester Bldg., Chicago.
The production of fruits, vegetable'-',
grains and livestock will tte vastly in
creased in Arkansas this coming year.
Thousands of farmers are going to
diversify their crops and have more
live stock and poultry. Hundreds have
told me personally that they were go
Ing to raise enough produce to feed
their families and their live stock and
more to sell.
In many sections of the state the
early stages of diversification were
marked by marketing failure. Hut
they began at the wrong end. The
first principle of good marketing is to
feed grains and forage crops to cows,
hogs and chickens, Hive stock and
poultry are more easily marketed than
raw products. They are the best
buyers of corn, hay and silage. Sell
ing live stock and poultry, butter and
eggs is selling the "finished products"
and til is system brings the highest re
turns and restores the fertility to th"
land. The first marketing problem is
to raise enough food for the people and
to have live stock to consume a good
part of the feedstuffs produced on
the farm.
Suggests Inspection.
After this there are the problems
of marketing fruits, chickens, butter
and eggs and vegtables. Selling fruits
is, of course, a big question with a
natural fruit growing state like Arkan
sas. i would suggest that your com
munity appoint a delegation to go into
tne great rruit districts ot Af rang an
and see how the people there handle
their peaches. There is nothing like
seeing just how the other fellow does
the thing successful year after year.
Michigan ts a wonderful object lesson
of the value of having hundreds of
farmers’ clubs, all co-operating in a
systematic plan for marketing their
products.
The way the people of Iowa handle
their chickens is another remarkable
object lesson. Nobody need lose money
in marketing chickens. One man said
to me that he was going to lose $1,
000 in doing it right. He should no*
go into it with the idea of losing one
cent, for there is no necessity of loss
In Iowa he will see how the marketing
man fattens the chickens. He will
see how the chickens and eggs ar<
handled. People there make chicken
raising and selling a business just like
running a store or operating a manu
facturing plant. The industry is wnrth
millions ©f dollars every year.
He will see how butter and milk are
sold. He will see how counties and
districts arc laid out into regular milk
routes, and how the milk man mak*-;
oue route Monday, another on Tues
day, another Wednesday and comes
hark over the first route on Thursday.
He will see that creameries should not
be built unless there are enough rows
—cared for under suitable conditions
—to keep the creamery going. Some
communities in the South have lost
money in starting at the wrong end,
having the creameries before they
had enough cows and dairies.
The Canning Proposition.
Then there is the canning propos!
tion. Canneries are built and there
Is not enough produce to can. Result,
both the farmer and canner become
discouraged and declare there’s noth
ing in this diversified farming. The
canner must contract with the farmer?
for so much produce of a standard
Quality before he can hope to operate
successfully. Promises will not work.
Only through contracting and mak
ing absolutely sure that he will have
enough vegetables will the canner be
successful. Success or failure in most
instances results from starting either
right or wrong. It is simple, but it is
a mistake so often made because the
canner did not study his proposition
in a district where canning factories
are operated with profits to the grow
ers anti the canners.
Marketing comes easy when start
ed right, iiut starting creameries, can
ning factories and building elevators
without adequate supply means set
backs from which recovery is difficult.
Let us 6ee just how Illinois and Iowa
market all their products without loss,
misunderstanding, delays or uncer
tainty and adopt these same practical
successful method in Arkansas.
Start right—that is the main thing,
and the rest will work itself out
through the natural sources of supply
Hd demand.
