What Helps Agriculture Helps All of Us ^ ... a . h I A . TATHAT is it that helps agriculture? We know that ' V V to grow good crops it takes good seed, fertile soil, a favorable climate, and the skill and experience of the individual. Likewise in the production of livestock you need well-bred animals, proper care and feeding, plus < intelligent management. Through better seeds and new types of plants like hybrid com, through soil conservation methods, better land management, and improved machinery, through more effective control of pests and parasites, America has reached a level of food production never before achieved by any nation in history. Therein lies much of America’s strength for the future. By many a tragic example, history teaches us that when food supplies fail, nations fall. We of America must see to it that our agriculture becomes always a stronger, surer base for the economy of our nation. This is a task not only for you as producers but also for us who, by providing nationwide facilities and services, bridge the gap which separates farmers and ranchers from the distant consumers who must have their products. And because our business is so closely linked with the land, we at Swift & Company are vitally interested in all developments that help agriculture. And so in these Swift pages we publish helpful information, knowing that a prosperous agriculture is essential to the live stock and meat industry—and to the prosperity of the nation as a whole. President, Swift & Company Soda Bill Sex: . . . generally we should learn two things from life—what to do and what not to do. . . if work is a pleasure, a man sure can have a lot of fun farming. OUR UVESTOCK JUDGING METHODS By R. G. JOHNSON Hoad, Department of Animal Husbandry, Oregon State College Domestic animals are machines for converting plant mate rial into meat, fibers, and other human needs. Competition forces the modern farmer to evaluate efficiency in terms of tons or bushels per acre, dairy production in pounds of but terfat per cow per year, and poultry results in number of eggs per year. Thus, since the basic resource is feed and not animals, shouldn’t livestock producers evaluate breeding stock on the basis of meat or of wool their offspring pro duces per 100 pounds of feed consumed? The show ring standards for judging animals by external appearance have given us advancement up to a certain point, but breeding for the show ring does not always lead to effi cient feed utilization. A step in the right direction is the increasing use of proved sires Today, through use of artificial insemination, the purebred breeder is greatly assisted in the establishment and increase of efficient blood lines. Tomorrow's "yardstick” will not only be bigger yields per acre but also more pounds of meat and fiber per ton of feed. WHAT DO YOU KNOW? How many of the amino acids essential to health are found in meat? What governs the price of livestock? In what dessert is meat an important ingredient? r--OUK CITY COUSIN-1 ^ ( *0fiESS£Pr^\ ] n sun looks} J MWKXStP... \ TO mi* ) Answers to these questions may be found in the various articles which are printed elsewhere on this page. Buy Victory Bonds £ 3 THE EDITOR’S COLUMN j A smart st^pr on range goes to where k the forage is best. A smart livestock r producer sells where the market is best. There are many sources of in formation to help him decide where that best market may be. Kadio networks and nearby stations report daily on receipts and prices at central and local markets. Commission • houses and their field men are ready to give per sonal advice on the best time and place to sell. Newspapers publish detailed description of market conditions. Various timely reports are available from the U. S. D. A. and other impar tial sources on trends and developments h) the livestock-and-meat industry. ' In making their bids, livestock buyers also use current market information. Acceptance of any price offered is entirely up to the producer or his sales agent. Meat packing plants and their buy ers are located at so many widespread points that if a producer is not satisfied with prices offered by any one buyer, he has a choice of sev eral others to which he may sell his animals. Moreover, with 3,500 meat packing plants and 26,000 other concerns and individuals who slaughtec livestock commercially, there is bound to be keen competitive bidding for your live stock. Barring meat rationing and price ceil ings, livestock prices are governed by what the packer can get for the meat and by-products. Agricultural Research Department Swift & Company wishes all the * readers of this page '-v A MERRY CHRISTMAS and A HAPPY NEW YEAR — “AMINOS” ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU! From the nu trition research laboratories comes the story of amino acids, mysterious substances found in the proteins we eat. Aminos are used by our bodies to build and rebuild our tissues, organs, and blood. They also help fight off in fections. Of the 23 known aminos, ten are absolutely essential to health and even to life itself. Meat is rich in all ten of them. That’s why doctors, working to rebuild the shattered bodies of wounded servicemen, order diets with large amounts of meat. That is also why everybody should eat meat for health as well as for its fine flavor and its "stick to-the-ribs” food value. Swift and other merft packers, through The American Meat Institute, are telling this vital story of meat and its health-building ammos in many millions of advertising messages. As people read this story, there will be wider markets for meat—and the livestock you produce. «/ 'xi//ta fjfogatib £Re>ci/i* \ MINCEMEAT j Yield: 4 quarts 1 pound cooked beef 1pounds brown shank, chuck, or sugar neck meat 1 quart cider 1 cup meat stock 2 teaspoons salt I V'i pound suet 2 teaspoons nutmeg 4 pounds apples 2 teaspoons cloves pound currants 3 teaspoons cinnamon I 1 pound seeded f) tablespoons lemon raisins juice J Pare, core, and chop apples.

WEBER Head, Department of Animal Husbandry Kansas State College Proof that the new combine-type ^ grain sorghums, Midland milo and Westland milo are the equal of corn as cattle feed, which was demon- —, strated recently at the Fort Hays • Branch of the Kansas Agricultural experiment oration, win interest feeders who fatten cattle in the Southwest. Yearling steers fed these two new grains for 150 days gained 2 A pounds per head daily. This was equal to results gained by feeding yearling steers No. 2 corn over a like period. The steers in each lot graded the same (choice), and sold at the same price ($17.00 per cwt.). All grains were fed at the rate of 13 pounds per head daily. Each ration included sweet sorghum silage, 37 pounds; cottonseed meal, 1A pounds, and finely ground limestone, 1-10 pound. _ Three similar feeding trials also proved conclu sively that the new combine-type grain sorghums compare favorably with com as cattle fattening feed—Wheatland milo, Colby milo and Westland milo being tested in these trials. Increasing use of native feed grains, such as these new type grain sorghums, will greatly benefit the stability and prosperity of this agricultural region.
