x What Woik Sahl
j Dr. Hubert Work, secretary of
the ir.terioip.' who' recently made
& trip throughout5';' the west, in
cluding western Oregon, when he
airived at Cheyenne, Wyoming.!
discussed the plight of the sugar
beet. farmer, whose task of build-
i I ing up a domestic supply of sugar
j has been jeopardiied by market
prices that are virtually at pre
war level. ' .-
- The United States is the only
great nation except England de-
pendent on outside sourcw for
four-fifths of its , sugar - supply.
England, norrnaUy a free trade
country, has put a bound of,1.24
cent3 on all home produce! sugar,
in-the hope of. developing the
domestic industry. . '
Even our present tariff, giving
the farmer less than one-half thei
protection afforded the : Kagllsh
sugar, beet grower,, has, cot kept
(the price" at a point where the
farmer can hope to domoro than
i it mvhfi hv vat trill nusnrlal tcnt
of ,beet . growers., ,, ; . ' .,
'.. "I find that the entire reclama
tion area lips been stimulated and
helped by President Coolidge's de
cision to. retain the sugar tariff'
Secretary Work said at Cheyenne.
"The growing of sugar beets. Is
one of the most natural and na
tlonally profitable. ues to which
our reclaimed land can .be put.
Thousand? of American citizens
have invested years of careful
work and all the money they have
in developing small sugar beet
farms. : To them the president's
action means that they can con
tinue , without going bankrupt or
living like peons on a Cuban plan
tation. To the country at large
the - decision means preservation
and increase of a domestic supply
of a vitally basic commodity. With
the tariff lowered we would soon
have no domestic sugar crop and
then closely organized interest;.
operating outside the. jurisdiction
of four, anti-trust -laws, could
change us what they pleased for
sugar., " ' "

THIS WEEIC'S SLOGAN
DID YOU KNOW That Salem has become an Important
live stock center, through the bunding1 and operation and
growth of the Valley Packing Company, a concern owned
by local capital; that this stabilizes and guarantees the
best prices in the United States for all kinds of market
able lire stock; that the farmers of the Salem district
ought'to raise more and more cattle and horses and hogs
and sheep and poultry, for the profits they can make
directly, and for the benefits that will come to them in
directly in the better fanning methods that will thus be
encouraged; and that this is the very best farming and
fruit growing and mixed farming section In the whole
United States, and, for the matter of that, in the entire
world; and that there is room here, and there are incom
parable opportunities for thousands of new men on our
farms and ranches and ranges? :.-.': . . ;

content themselves
with a lower grade. It is quite
probable that while practically
everyone would like to have the
very best, that the rank and file
of 'American consumers would be
quite well content with a medium
grade of beef such as would come
from a good beef bred cow or
steer," well fattened on grass or
Lay -beef, for example, of god
color and quality, and fat enough
to dross out 56 to' 58 ou stock

produced at a considerably , len
figure than a fine - grade. beef
product, especially in the region
west of the corn belt. ; It can also
be produced in very much larger
quantities. On the other hand.
beef from old, thin cows and es
pecially cowa of dairy breeding, is
not really, wanted anywhere. Mil
lions of pounds of such beef, how
ever,, are consumed every year be
cause the purchasers are . unable
to get anything better t a price
which they can afford to pay..
It is very probable, however,
that the 'possibilities ot the pro
ducer have more to do with the
class of beef coming onto our mar
kets than the demands of the consumer;-;
la the first place, prob
ably 25, or 20 ot our total sup
ply of-beef, excluding veal, comes
from the dairy herds and Is, ot
course, practically all cow stuff.
Of necessity, tho .bulk of these
cows are old. In many cases, they
lack fat and are not good enough
to Justify fattening. A few young
fat heifers will be included, but
not. very many. In all cases, the
stock will be of Inferior breeding
and confirmation. Judged from
the beef standpoint, since nearly
ail dairy breeders are breeding
their cattle a far away from the
beef type as they possibly can.
The. questioa comes. "Can this
dniry beef bo improved." " The
fanswer is 'No, not to any ap
preciable extent." Its breeding
mnnot be clians-d without detri
ment to dairy production, which
on most any dairy farm Is more
important than the beef value of
tho discarded cow: it i3 trUex'
that many of the dairy cows con
Is? to market could bo improved
by a three to four months graia
feeding, but they would still be
inferior beef and on the basi3 of
prtvj'jut demand, the li dairy caw
that would receive three cr four
centage probably 65 or 70 per
cent, come to market In a medium
condition, having been fairly well
finiihed on hay or grass. A small
minority come to market in in
terior condition. Of the cows
coming from the beet herds, the
proportion that have been grain
fed is negligible.; -On the other
h. nd. the great majority .are In
lair condition after they come oft
of grass or hay. In view of the
f? ; that a mature row that Is fat
'.n tonally worth, as much for beef

general cusioni among beef rain

tion -dt their coni' that tall to
rrodncej enlvea. snbuy 3 their
place wo-y ear-old -liters.- Cows
that fail to produce calves njually
fut ten easily even on feed that
would be none too satisfactory for
a cow suckling a calf. In the beef
herds, therefore, very few of the
cows are kept" to extreme age or
to an are at wblch thev fail to
faen when dry. However, whilaj
the great majority of the beef
cows come to market in fair con
dition, there are alway so mo thin
ones. In fact, the best breeding
cows will often continue to pro
dace, calves until they reach an
age when they will no longer fat
ten readily. - . .
- FTonr the standpoint of produc
tion, it should be recognired that
practically allt of the grain pro
duced in the United States Is con
sumed. That which is not used
for milling or manufacturing pur
poses is use for stock feed. We
cmnot Increase the percentage of
&-rln f'-'J beet wlthnnt either In
creasing cur grain production or
taking grain away from some oth
er industry, neither of which pro

extent. On the other hand, there
are very considerable possibilities
of Improving-tho quality of our
beef that comes off of our ranges
and pastures. . Tne general tend

The drawback with horse breed
ing in tire United States is that
there hive been too many small
borses and horses ot poor type.
These horses' 1 have' been used
where good drrt horses should
have .been used. Farmers and
horsemen have used them because
they were cheap and answered the
purpose of real horses.
