OUTLOOK GOOD
FOR HOG MEN TO
MAKE BIG MONEY
Lack of Help May Cut Down
Feeding Operations; Pure
Bred Stock in Big
Demand.
Pure-bred live stock is selling
particularly well at the present time,
with a big demand and bringing un
usually good prices, according to
-.:-L.l . ...U Iar .
pi.tllIl.Bl IIICU wiiu iiavc utvii
tending the fall sales.
E. Z. Russell, in charge of all hog
production work for the govern
ment, whi recently came to Ne
braska from Washington to attend
Duroc-Jersey sales, states that
. prices obtained compare favorably
with previous years. "In the smail
strip which was visited by drouth,"
1 said Mr. Russell, "sales are not quite
as good as in other sections, owing
to shortage of corn. Some breeders
' seem not to realize that, with hogs
selling on the market higher than
they were last year, and the price
' of corn much lower, chances for
profit are greater than before. The
' question of labor is a serious one.
Some men have had to cut down
their herds or disperse them be
cause of lack of help. On the
whole, thi pure-bred hog business
v in Nebraska is in fine shape." 1
Holstein cattle sales have been
remarkably successful. Dwight
Williams, secretary of the Nebraska
Holstein Sales company, states that
the demand for Hobjtein cattle is
constantly beuoming greater, espe
cially in western Nebraska, and that
breeders are becoming more dis
criminating as to quality. Cattle
of high producing parentage are
bringing better prices than ever be
fore. C H. Llebers, agricultural agent
of the Burlington railroad, has just
purchased 20 carloads of Holstein
cattle for settlers on the dry lands
of Colorado.
