* Accord With the Views
of the Democrats.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
IT LOOKS as if tin* Republicans
must go before the. country in the
Presidential, campaign with a tax re
duction law mainly of Democratic
fashioning. This if the changes in the
hoii-c measure made by the seriate are
sustained in conference and if the bill
is not vetoed by Mr. Coolidge. The
Democrats then would have gained
one of the Mg political advantages for
whh h they have been striving.
With the aid of the radical Re
publican senators and the two Farmer
Laborltes, the Democrats in the serr
ate last week forced the acceptance of
the Simmons substitute tax bill by the
committee of the whole, in place Of
tiie Mellon plan. It fixes the surtax
maximum at 40 per cent, and the nor
mal tax rates at 2 per cent on net hi-
voine up to $4,000. 4 per cent between
$4,ooo jmd $s,ooo, niiil t* per cent above

farming and market demands. Where

has been gminally* becoming more
and more impractical to keep
of cows to raise halves and to tbus
grow their own, supply of feeders.
Not more than a score of years ago
there was an abundance of pasture and
land was comparatively cheap. Today
practically all land cape-ble of being
tilled is used for crop production. The
rnbring -■of-cattle! primarily -for—faHvn-
lug as beef bus been giving way to

Disposes of Corn Crop.
The fattening of steers, however, af
fords one of the most practical ways
of 'disposing of tiie corn crop and of
the many roughages produced on tiie
average corn belt farm, and most of
the fat cattle are still supplied by tiie
corn belt. Instead of growing tiie
feeders on the farm where they are
to be fattened, however, there is; an
increasing tendency on tiie part of
cattle feeders to purchase their feeder
supply direct from the range which
Is more adapted to raising and grow
ing calves to tiie feeder age than to
fattening them. The range cattlemen
are realizing the situation
attempting to produce a high
of feeder cattle. The corn belt cuttle
feeders, with an abundance of fatten
ing feeds and limited pasture areas,
see where they ran better afford to
purchase feeders from the range area
than to raise them on land which is
suitable for crop production.
Organizations of breeders^are being
formed In many sections of tlu* coun
try for (he purpose of assembling- sev
eral droves of feeder cattle and sell
ing them at auction Sales of this
kind are usually extensively adver
tised in order to get a large number
of buyers to attend. Buying direct
eliminates marketing expenses at the
live stock markets and insures against
"stale” cattle, that is, cuttle held at
tiie markets for several davs. Buying
at the large live slock markets is pre
ferred by many feeders, because there
may be a saving of time, and there Is
the possibility of buying on a "glut
ted” market, yvhioh usually results in
much, lower prices. When tin* receipts
are normal, however, there is usually
considerable competition, resulting In
a price considerably higher than the
raqge price.
Buying and selling ability plays as
Important a part as skillful feeding in
tiie successful hupdling of feeder cat
tle. Successful feeders study market
conditions. In some seasons certain
weights and classes of cattle may be
j purchased more economically than oth
ers. The rattle feeder should study
! the demands of the market for cer
tain seasons and feed the kind of cat
tle tliat will be hi demand when they
are ready for market.
Objects In Fattening.
F
The primary objects in fattening
steers are to utilize roughages for
I which there is little demand, to keep
tiie soil in ,n high state of productiv
ity by feeding the crop's on Tiie farm
and returning the manure toM'he land,
and to,increase the income from farm
operations. The fattening of cattle
throughout tiie corn belt urea is of
two types—dry-lot fattening and fat
tening on grass. Most cattle fattened
in the corn belt are dry-lot fed and
are marketed before July 1. Very
few cattle Ted heiivily on grain dur
ing the winter and spring months are
ever put on grass the following sum
mer. In some sections of Missouri
feeders purchased '“in the fall are
"roughed" through the winter largely
on cornstalk fields, straws, hays,-stover
and silage In the spring the* cattle
are turned on grass and fed a half-
grain ration. Uuttle handled in tills
way usually aro** marketed before Seje
tember 1.
There are various Tatllons used In
dry-lot feeding, tint two conibinationtr
of feeds stand out rather proujinent-
ly. In those areas where legpme hay,
such as clover and alfalfa, is produced
abundantly, the standard ration is corn
and bay. In other areas-“w+rere leg
umes are less thrifty, silage and pro
tein meal, such as cottonseed or lln-
_seed, are fed In combination with corn
and a mixed hay.

Where pasture Is available there are
three practical methods of fattening
cattle son grass, naniely, grass alone,
grass and additional feed throughout
the entire feeding period, and grass
with additional feed the last few
months of tiie feeding period. Tiie
grass season is usually from May to
Ndvember, inclusive, which Is approx-
Inlately 210 days. Two acres of good
pasture are usually allowed pdr ani
mal. After September tiie- average
pasture begins t** decrease in value
very rapidly, and cattle should be maf-
l ke.ted at this time or given additional
Teed. Prevailing’'‘jirices of .corn and

Favorable Results -
~in Spraying Tests
Reduction in Losses From
Leaf-Spot Disease.
iTrepareiJ by th* United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Spraying strawberries for the enn-
trol of leaf spot diseases lias frequent
ly been recommended, and a few grow-,
ers in widely separated localities have
sprayed regularly for fruit rots and
have reported an apparent reduction
in losses. The first systematic experi
ments, however, for the control of fruit
rots by spraying were made by the
United States Department of Agricul
ture last year, and although the re
sults of this one seasons v^qrk must
and are be regarded as inconclusive, souuP fa-
grade vorable results seem .to be Indicated.
Various sprays were used, and no
one seemed to show a marked supe
riority over another, indicating that
no really satisfactory spray schedule
las yet been worked out. The inves
tigators feel, however, that the results
Justify tiie conclusion that spraying
with borrietHt* mixture, and in some
cases dusting, reduced the losses from
rot which developed after the fruit
was picked sufficiently to more than
Justify the expense of the treatment.
Strawberries are grown in tills coun
try under a great variety of conditions,
and spray schedules must necessarily
be varied accordingly. The result of
the first season's work seems, how
ever, to indicate that in the region of
Beebe, Ark., where this work was done,
strawberry rots may be reduced by
spraying. It is accordingly planned to
extend these spraying tests.

Plenty of Oyster Shell
Helpful to Egg Layers
Several flock owners have, at various
times, asked my opinion as to the
cause of soft-shelled eggs, says a
writer In the Successful Farming.
Hens may occasionally lay a soft-shelled
egg even when supplied with plenty
of oyster shells. Sometimes this Is’
caused by an overfat condition or a
poorly balanced ration.
If any of yoUr hens lay an occasional
soft shelled egg, make sure that they
are getting plenty of green food* and
that they are made to exercise in the
straw litter. If thhrts done, and the
balanced ration and oyster shell do
not put a stop to the sofl shelled eggs,'
you may be sure that tiie trouble is
due to some abnormal 'condition that
prevents the fowls from manufac
turing tiie lime as fast as It is need
ed. When this is'the case the only
cure seems to lie to cull out any hens
that-are known to lay soft-shelled eggs
frequently. .
Such eggs are not only a frequent
loss, hut the breaking and eating of
them by the other fowls encourage
the habit of egg-eating.
