MAKE GREATEST PROFIT FROM LIVE STOCK
MirV ' ~ '
A t
PUREBRED SIRE USED AT MISSOURI COLLEGE.
(By E. A. TROW BRIDGE, Missouri Ag
ricultural College.)
Quality becomes more essential to
profit in live stock farming each sea
son. When labor, land, and feed were
cheap it was possible to realize a
profit on live stock of an inferior grade,
but with the present high cost of these
production factors and a constant dis
crimination on the market against the
“grub,” it has become evident that the
greatest profit can be expected only
from live stock of good quality. It
may be possible for the feeder or deal
er to make a profit on inferior live
stock if he is able to buy it sufficiently
and sell quickly, but usually
someone has not realized the greatest
possible profit when a “scrub” goes to
market. If it is not the feeder, it is
the man who produced the animal.
At the Missouri agricultural experi
ment station lambs sired by a S3O mut
ton ram and out of western ewes
weighed 2.54 pounds more at three
months of age than lambs out of the
PECAN TREE CULTURE
Should Not Be Set Less Than
Fifty Feet Apart
In Wide Middles Other Crops Can Be
Successfully Cultivated—Do Not
Allow Cover Crops to En
croach on Trees.
(By W. H. HUTT.)
Pecan trees are very deep-rooted,
feed far below the surface, and do not
encroach much on the land until they
are big enough to give profit for its
use. Pecan trees should jiot be set less
than 50 feet apart; 60 feet is better.
In these wide middles other crops can
be successfully cultivated for years
until the trees require all the land. In
this way a planter need not be out of
the use of his land, but can at the same
time be gradually changing an annual
crop that adds no permanent increment
to the value of his soil to a perennial
one that makes his land more valuable
every years it grows upon it.
I have never seen a pecan orchard
that was a success unless it was culti
vated, at least while the trees were
young. It is for this reason that I pre
fer the term “pecan orchard” to “pecan
grove,” for the latter term has about it
more of the idea of a green, unbroken
turf, and, from my experience, I am
very sure that this is not the condition
4 I
Young Pecan Tree.
conducive to large yields of nuts. Prof.
Van Deman says “Nature plants groves,
but man plants orchards.”
Where maintenance crops are grown
in a pecan orchard, judgment should
be exercised in not allowing the rows
to encroach too closely on the trees,
thus robbing them of plantfood and
moisture. If this is done, valuable
time will be lost in getting the trees
Into bearing. Maintenance or cover
crops should not be allowed to grow
nearer than six feet to the tree row,
and. of course, no crop of any kind
should be planted in the tree row itself.
A good farmer who recently, at my
solicitation, set out a pecan orchard,
asked me one day to look at his trees,
because they did not seem to be doing
well. When I drove with him to his
place I had difficulty in finding his or
chard, for the place on which he had
same kind of ewes by a “scrub” rare
weighed at four months. The well
bred lambs were ready for market a
month earlier, they ate only about one
half as much feed, and they sold for
nearly $3 more per hundred than did
the lambs by the inferior ram.
Just recently two Utah, ranchmen
are reported to have sold their cat
tle on the same market on the same
day. Both used the same amount of
national forest range per head and
paid the same grazing fee. One had
used good bulls to produce his cattle,
the other had not. The good cattle
brought 840 per head more than the
poor cattle.
Whether the live stock is cattle,
hogs, sheep, or horses, the good ones
are appreciated when sold and conse
quently bring higher prices and nor
mally yield greater return. The mos!
practical means of improvement it
through the use of good sires, for th*
male may become the parent of froi
40 to 100 animals each year.
planted it was now a solid field of tall
waving corn, which looked as if ii
would produce 100 bushels to the acre
I could not at first see a single pecat
tree, but after locating the corn ron
in which the'trees were set I was ablt
to find a number of dead ones anc
some very small, living but discour
ged-looking trees. They would havt
had more chance of survival in tht
struggle in their native forest than ir
that jungle of corn. The field was
planted solid with corn, there being
just one hill left out where the pecat
tree stood. The trees were cultivated
and Intensely so, but what chance hac
they of surviving, much less of mak
ing a satisfactory growth!
I believe that when Euclicl, the math
ematician of antiquity, said, “It is im
possible to have two things in the
same space at the same time,” he was
thinking especially of a corn crop in a
pecan orchard.
Corn is too tall a plant and too gross
a feeder to be used successfully as a
cover crop in any kind of an orchard,
unless It is kept at a reasonable dis
tance from the trees.
SOY BEAN A PROMISING CROP
Well Adapted to Whole Cotton Belt—
Immature Seed Makes Delicious
Vegetable.
(From the United States Department ot
Agriculture.)
Notable progress has been made in
bringing about the commercial utiliza
tion of soy bean seed for the manu-j
facture of oil, meal, and various more
or less complex products, according to
the annual report of the chief of the
bureau of plant Industry. The soy ■
bean, the report states, is well adapt-!
ed to the whole cotton belt, and indeed
to the whole corn region. In the cot-;
ton belt it promises to be an import
ant element wherever the acreage of'
cotton has been reduced. The imma-'
ture bean seds make a very delicious
vegetable and are canned with ease.
Inasmuch as soy beans can be more
cheaply produced than any other bean
seed, it is believed that there is a
large field for the canning of green
soy beans. Efforts are now being made
to induce canning factories to put the
product on the market. In the grow
ing of the soy bean and in manufac
turing products therefrom the United
States can successfully compete with
the Orient.
FEW TIPS GN HORTICULTURE
Raise Fruits and Vegetables, Don’t
Buy Them—lnsects and Diseases
Easily Controlled.
Frank B. Cross of the department of
horticulture at Oklahoma A and M.
college, Stillwater, offers the follow
ing advice to Oklahoma farmers:
Don’t buy your fruits and vegetables
•—raise ’em.
Don’t neglect Insects and diseases.
They are easily controlled by spray
ing.
Don't forget to use fertilizers, they
increase production wonderfully.
Don’t prune too much, or too little
•—use judgment
“An apple a day keeps the doctor
away.”
Bring satisfaction and good cheer to
the bogie and folks by planting flow
ers and shrubs about the house and
lawn.
