FARMERS RATTENING 13 PERCENT MORE CATTLE THIS YEAR Do you like tender, juicy beef? If so. here's good news for you. Faimers are fattening more "cattle than ever before at this time of the year. According to the I'.S. Department of Agriculture, fanners in thirteen major feeding states were fattening 3,609,- 000 head of cattle on July 1. This number was an increase of 13 per cent over last year, which was probably a record for the date. Cattle feecrtng operations have been greater all this year than "thov'were a year earlier. Numbers of cattle on feed Jan. 1 were up 8 per cent from the year before, while April' 1 numbers were 12 per cent above those in 3,954. This report of bigger cattle (Veding operations is not cheering to farmers. Recent prices for fat cattle have been nearlv 10 per cent below those of a year ago, and the lowest for this time of year since wartime price ceilings. Thirteen Per Cent Increase in Illinois. Iowa continues to be the j biggest cattle feeding state. On j July 1, Iowa farmers were feed- j itig about 1.031.000 head of j cattle,' 9 per cent more than last ; year. Illinois ranked second in the Corn Belt with 440,000 head, ' 13 per cent more than last year, j Nebraska was third, feeding 408,000 head, 3 per cent more than one year before. The Corn Belt as a whole (11 north central states) reported over 2,800,000 head of tattle on feed, 10 per cent more than last year. California feeders were fattening 457,000 head, of cattle on July 1, 33 per cent more than last year. Weighty. The weights of cattle on feed show one important change" from last year: Weights • over 1,100 pounds make up 12.; er cent of the total this year' ompared with only 9 per cent i in 1954. : , ! Kinds. Seventy-two percent of \ the. cattle on feed this year are : steers compared with 75 per cent ' last year. Twenty-five per cent are heifers compared" with 22 per cent a year ago. Most of the remaining 3 per cent are classed as calves. Time on Feed. Cattle now on feed have been fed about the same length of time as last year. In the three leading corn-belt states, 20 per cent have been on feed less than 3 months, 34 per cent 3 to 6 months, and 46 per cent more than 6 months. Later Marketings. Most of the increase in cattle on feed seems likely to show up at the markets after Sept. l. Farmers in the four major feeding states said that they would send one million head to market before Sept. 1, the same as last year. Headed for market after Sept. 1 were lw337.000 head of cattle, 25 per cefit more than last year. Classified Ads bring results.

BOLGER'S PHONE 40 103 So. Green St., McHenry, 111. Coming back from Balesville the other night I noticed a powerful light at Whitey Fisher's Duck Farm. Seemed to be shining out over the water. I stopped to ask Whitey what went on. He took me down to his pond and pointed out a 200-watt bulb - rigged up on a pole about three feet above the surface. The light was attracting thousands of insects for the ducks to eat. Seemed kind of odd to me --but Whitey was enthusiastic. "Best idea I ever hearS of," he claims. "Keeps the feed bill down --and the bug population, too. Why do you suppose I never thought of it before?" From where I sit, Whitey's the type who's always ready to pioneer a worth-while new trick. Me, I stick to old methods. Just a case of personal feeling, I guess . . . like the way you may prefer coffee with meals while I always prefer a traditional glass of beer. Not that I'd claim you're wrong -- respect for the other man's opinion is my "guiding light.'* . jQoe Copyright. 1955.
