IOWA CATTLE CARRY GOOD FINISH According ^o Will Hunter, of Wash ington, Iowa, "who was on the-Omaha market last week looking for feeders,, the livestock tljat will be shipped from Iowa this next season wijl be fewer in number, but In better qondition and quality than in fohner seasons. In an interview at the Omaha Stock yards Mr. Hunter is quoted as saying: "We havie found that a few cents more for better bred and better quality feeding stock means several dollars more in the bank, in the long run. Our feed bins are filled to the brim this year and -I tliink the average Iowa farmer has already decided to parry his stock over until they carry a good finish. 'There are several good feeders in my neighborhood who' brought some cattle from St. Louis and Kansas City, figuring to- give them a short feed and sending them back to market about the first. of the year. Most of these men have changed their minds and decided to finish them out. rather than sell them as warmed-up steers. •. •'While there may be a brisk demand tot feeders shortly after the first of the year, I for one am satisfied that it will be just as profitable for the man who has the warmed-up stock to keep them until latep in the season and mar ket them as finished \beeves. The law of supply and demand will ultimately govern our beef market. At present it is the money situation which is gov erning the prices paid for feedesr and finished beef as well,, but'the financial question is bound to be settled in a few weeks or months and then tne nat ural laws of marketing will again come to the fore." —[F]— Victor Sandstrom, of Harrison coun ty, has just finished husking 12 acres of corn which yielded 105. bushels to the acre by weight, figuring 75 pounds to the bushel, says the Logan Observer. —[F]— strike for more pay and less work by the men frequently becomes a hun ger strike on,the part of their wives and children.
