AGENT BUSBY . . -
(Continued from page 1)
started 80 years ago in Chicago
is now operated by the third gen
eration of the Mayer family and
now operates plants in five states
with a total of 8000 employees
and annual sales of over 170 mill
ion dollars. The Madison plant has
3700 employees and specializes in
smoked sausage and other smoked
meats. The hog slaughter line was
the most impressive sight on our
trip. The carbon dioxide gas
■chamber, considered the most hu
mane form of animal slaughter
was a most impressive part of this
operation. Also the fantastic cap
acity of 10,000 head of hogs pro
cessed each day in this plant
makes one realize that ever con
tinuing food production is needed
to maintain the adequate living
standard now enjoyed by the
nearly 200 million population of
our great nation. The age of auto
mation was made vivid to us as
we watched the thousands of dif
ferent machines involved in the
complete processing operations.
We were told that nearly 100
buying stations located in three
states were needed to supply the
hogs needed to keep this one
plant in operation.
Leaving the Mayer plant , we
moved on to American Breeders
Service, located near Madison,
whose bulls are used to provide
artificial breeding throughout the
nation as well as many foreign
countries. We visited the dairy
bull stud and then visited the
nearby Beef Research farm where
vast research facilities are being
utilized in an effort to promote
increased Artificial Breeding of
cattle that will be comparable to
the present use of this service
with dairy cattle.
Almost the entire afternoon was
spent touring the University of
Wisconsin’s new Arlington Exper
iment Station—1800 acres of the
richest farm land we’ve ever seen.
A visit to the dairy cattle, beef,
swine and poultry centers was of
great interest. At the dairy cen
ter we learned of a new idea now
being utilized extensively in silage
making throughout Wisconsin.
Called low-moisture silage, this
idea demonstrates the constant
search under way to improve
dairy cattle feeding and to in
crease efficiency of production.
By wilting the grass silage to
moisture content of approximately
50 per cent before putting it into
the silo, not only is less silo space
needed per ton of silage stored,
but the cow gets more feed nu
trients per pound of silage con
sumed. With this new innovation
Wisconsin’s dairy farmers are
getting a boost in milk production
by feeding more silage, less hay
and grain., This idea I think we’ll
want to explore more in this part
of the country.
Our final stop on Tuesday was
at the beef cattle feeding opera
tion of farmer Perker Herwig.
With the help of two men, Herwig
produces the feed for and feeds
to market 500 to 700 head of cat
tle each year. This real dirt farm
operation that evidently was now
being carried on with a great de
gree of success was quite impress
ive.
We’ll hurry this to a close for
now because we’re getting a mite
long-winded. Later we’ll tell you
about a successful feeder pig op
eration and other highlights of
the remainder of the trip.
As I said earlier, we went to
Wisconsin mainly to find out a-
bout the dairy industry of that
state. I don’t feel we found out
many “secrets” we can adapt to
our own dairy farming that will
boost profits for our farmers.
Wisconsin is indeed a dairy
state. Approximately three-
fourths of its farms are dairy
farms. Most of the farm land is
fertile. Little fertilizer is needed
to grow silage corn or alfalfa hay.
Dairy farmers in Wisconsin grow
plenty of feed, mainly high quali
ty forage. They have good pro
ducing cows resulting from use of
best bulls through artificial breed
ing. They have to have plenty of
feed storage space. Every dairy
farm had two or more silos, us
ually big ones holding 400 to 600
tons of silage each.
Wisconsin winters are cold,
sometimes going 20 to 30 below
zero. Cows have to be kept con
fined and cared for months at a
time. Good barns and handling
facilities are a must on dairy
farms. Practically all milk is
handled bulk.. You seldom see a
milk can in Wisconsin.
New hear this. The highest milk
price we heard of was $4.29 for
3.5 per ct. milk. Blend prices were
considerable below this figure.
How do the dairy farmers stay in
business? We still don’t know.
One thing, that is the only busi
ness most of them know. They
have been in that business for
generations. True some are going
out, but not in large numbers. In
fact we heard of some who had
gone out of dairy farming, but
who were now going back to it.
After completing the trip we
are still convinced we can stay in
the dairy business in South Caro
lina. We’ll no doubt make s o fti e
changes in the future, but our cost
of production will continue to re
main somewhat higher than for
Wisconsin. Also we’re still con
vinced our South Carolina milk
drinks better than Wisconsin milk!
Next week we’ll share with you
Swift Strike
Damages Will
Be Adjusted
As SWIFT STRIKE III gets un
der way, worried landowners are
being reassured that damages
which may occur to property will
be promptly adjusted. Four claims
offices will be opened Monday in
South Carolina for this purpose,
according to Major Reid W. Ken
nedy, Maneuver Claims Director
for Swift Strike operations. Major
Kennedy’s office is located in room
303, Klondike building at 1813
Main street in Columbia. Other
offices will be located at Saluda
Motel in Saluda, at the Jacobs
building in Clinton, and the Ches
ter Motor lodge in Chester.
Major Kennedy has written each
landowner requesting that his of
fice be notified by collect tele
phone call should damage occur
of the type that should be repair
ed immediately to stop any ad
ditional damage. His telephone is
number 254-0355 Columbia. All
other damages should be reported
immediately by landowners to the
nearest claims office.
Fifteen Army legal officers will
i be on duty in the office during the
maneuver to facilitate the hand
ling of claims. All military per
sonnel participating in the exer
cise are being instructed in ac
tions to be taken to prevent dam
ages, but it is realized that in an
exercise of this size, some damage
may occur.

sirable new industries.

conditions of its employees.
Independent councilmen working together for the good of the en
tire city.

Sincerely,
REMBERT D. PARLER
BY THE WAY . . .
(Continued from page 1)
These, I repeat, are only brief
summaries of some of the points
contained in this infamous “re
port.” It brazenly calls down the
threat of blackmail upon the pop
ulace. The military branches were
created for the defense of our na
tion, not as instruments to en
force so-called reforms.
The sorriest aspect of this re
port is the damage it will do to
the serviceman and his family.
Communities have always gone
out of the way to receive these
men and their families and make
them welcome for the duration of
their residence away from home.
This report, when implemented,
will make the serviceman and his
family, through no fault of their
own, walking symbols of civil
disobedience. It will make the
proud uniform of our country in
to a shabby coat of political vote-
grubbing. It will debase tjiia-hon
orable career and turn the friend
ly relations now enjoyed by base
and community into one of hos
tility and resentment.

Kendall Sales
Up This Year
BOSTON, July 16.—The Kendall
Company posted gains in both
sales and earnings for the second
quarter of the year, the company
reported to stockholders today.
Kendall earned $1,264,000, or 60
cents per common share, for the
12-week period ending June 15th,
1963. Cumulative earnings for the
first 24 weeks of 1963 were $2,
342,000, of $1.11 per share, com
pared with $1,781,000, or 83 cents
per share for the same period last
year.
The report called attention to
the fact that 1962 earnings were
affected adversely by a Canadian
adjustment of $229,000, and that
of the results for the first half of
1962 had reflected current guide
line rates for depreciation and
1963 investment tax credit, the
1962 earnings would have been
improved by approximately $170,
000.
Sales for the second 12 weeks
totalled $32,312,000, an increase
over the $31,234,000 volume for
the comparable 1962 period. For
the first six months of 1963, sales
of $63,282,000 compared with a
figure of $61,886 for the same
period of 1962.
