Niedermyer’s “ Rackets ” A re Big Winners Knowing when to do thiugs, thru doing them, and doing them right, U the formula for hucoxn in farm ing developed by Ernest Neldermyer in running 108 acres near Jackson ville the last 20 years. He uses his head about crops, too, and cuts many a corner on labor, with the re sult that, even though things aren't like they were when he used to knock out $5000 or $6000 a year, still he managed to stay In black ink, and wouldn't think of selling. "Th e last few years we haven't made half what we did at one time, but I wouldn't sell,” he said. “ No one would who didn't have to, hut you can buy land as good as this for $150 an acre.” That makes his investment $16,- 200, and interest on that at 5 per cent is $810. His 1934 taxes were $235, his actual farming operations were conducted for about the same amount, and his labor bill was less than $200. Total cost of less than $1500, and a profit, let us say tp be conservative, of $1500. He didn't reveal exactly what it was. And how does he manage it? Well, he has what he calls a "rack- et.” J. J. Doerfler of Silverton admits brazenly that the cattle feed ing he conducts in his Marion county filbert grove is an attempt to gel something for nothing, namely the manure from the cattle for fertiliz ing his trees; and Neldermyer goes him one better by letting the other fellow keep the investment in cattl e His ranch is one son’s share of a large one which his father establish ed after selling out on Bear creek ir. the early part of the century, and it has a porous soil on which cattle may run all winter, so he arranges feeding yards in his fields and in vites range cattle owners of the dis trict to bring their herds and enjoy the salubrious winter climate of the Rogue. The invitations read: "Bring your own hay,” and you can imagine better than I can describe the effect on Neidermyer’s alfalfa of all the manure— and the effect on Neider- inyer of knowing that It didn’t cost him a nickel. Last winter some 300 cattle worked for him that way for nothing. He Is in the business of raising alfalfa, though, so he arranged an other "racket” for disposing of it. He bales virtually all of it, and “ they” come to the ranch and buy it in lots of one to three bales, saving themselves $3 to $4 per ton and pre senting him with a handsome direct- sale profit. “ We have always done it,” Neldermyer confessed compla cently. "First It was the regular dairymen, who bought it loose. Then when they lost their cow® we started baling and sold to the little ranchers and one-cow dairymen. We sold over 200 tons that way last year, lots of it at $12 and some at $15. One day we sold 15 tons, all lu less than 1000-pound lobs. All cash business, too; we couldn't afford to op n ac counts. Our biggest lead in that game is quality. We put it up just right, and the leaves stay on. We put the first crop into the mow. but the second and third are baled right from the field.” Grain for seed is another of Nei- dermyer's enterprises, and last year them take much of a hand.— Ore- 64 bushels per acre. " I always g t the best grain I can, and sell it for seed. That way I get $5 to $10 a ton above going prices, and a little 'ad' in the paper brings people here from all over. " W e ’re in general farming, real ly," he explained, "raising hay and grain and feeding hogs, only you can’t find any to feed, any more. The place was in alfalfa altogether until the la®t few years, when w> plowed here and there, carried it in grain a while, and now are seeding back. It costs more to produce grain than hay, and unless you have live stock to feed it to, it doesn't pay. I figure on getting the whole place back into alfalfa. From a new field we usually harvest six tons in three cutting®, and we leave a field down until it dwindles to three tons. Where I fed last winter was down 16 years. " A person can make it even in these times if he works it right," this schemer asserted, adding, how ever, that "you can’t hire men and then sit around and work.” watch them For the most part, he does March 12th, 1936.
