MANY CATTLE IN
THE HILLS YET
Iowa and Eastern Nebraska Cattle
Feeders Favor fltotT from West
ern Nebraska Ranches
aJttnf, of corn that had been plant
as late as the 4th of July, much
to the amusement of fanners In his
community, said there was nothing
in the corn line that he ever saw,
that would equal It. Although it
was a little late, two weeks would
finish It off In better shape than any
corn In the vicinity. Mr. Cunning
ham Is on the market today looking
for stockers.
Ranchmen who do not grow corn
themselves are greatly interested in
seeing a bumper crop of the cereal,
for the reason that they raise the
cattle to eat It. A big crop of corn
means a strong demand for feeder
cattle and a good price for them.
Iowa and eastern Nebraska feeders
have learned by past experience that
they cannot secure better stuff for
their feed lots than comes from the
Nebraska ranch country.
With hot, dry weather about the
time corn was ready to "shoot" this
year, it looked as tho the crop in a
lame part of the corn belt might be
cut short, but late reporta are very
favorable. Corn was damaged in
southern Nebraska to some extent
and farther south, but central and
northern Nebraska are all right and
in Iowa the crop ia a bumper, as in
dicated by the following item from
the Journal-Stockman of September
7th:
With warm weathr a plenty West
ern Iowa is gradually facing the in
evitable truth, that the corn crop will
be no less than twice as big as it has
ever been in the history of the state.
It is a bitter pill for farmers to swal
low after they have so many predic
tions of soft corn by the thousand
acres. Without exaggeration the to
tal average of all small brain and
corn will be twice that Of last year,
Mr. Cunningham, a prominent feed
er and farmer of western Iowa, re
ports. That takes into considera
tion the loss of wheat and alfalfa
last winter.
The oat crop throughout western
Iowa and eastern Nebraska is unpar
allod in the history of farming in
these sections. The average yield is
conservatively placed at 60 bushels
to the acre where 30 bushels usually
Is high. An ideal season for oats
was responsible. Mr. Cunningham.
