The Owners of
Swift & Company
(Now Over 22,000)

99
Perhaps it has not occurred to
you that you can participate in
Swift & Company's profits,—and
also share its risks,—by becom
ing a co-partner in the business?
It is not a close corporation.
You can do this by buying Swift &
Company shares, which are bought
and sold on the Chicago and Boston
stock exchanges.
There are now over 22,000 share
holders of Swift & Company, 3,500 of
whom are employes of the Company.
These 22,000 shareholders include
7,800 women.
Cash dividends have been paid reg
ularly for thirty years. The rate at
present is 8 per cent.
The capital stock is all of one kind,
namely, common stock—there is no
preferred stock, and this common stock
represents actual values. There is no
water," nor have good will, trade
marks, or patents been capitalized.
This statement is made solely for your
information and not for the purpose of
booming Swift & Company stock.
We welcome, however, live stock
producers, retailers, and consumers as
co-partners.
We particularly like to have for
shareholders the people with whom
we do business.
This leads to a better mutual
understanding.

Potatoes for Seed Should Be Selected From Hills Containing Tubers of Uni
form Shape and Size.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
If the best results are to be attained
in potato production, greater care must
be given to the development of high
grade seed potatoes than is the present
practice. Wherever the climatic and
soil conditions are such as to make it
possible to produce a good quality of
seed potatoes, each grower should have
his own seed plat. In the selection of
seed potatoes it should lie borne in
mind that the hill rather than the indi
vidual tuber is the unit. The method
which is most certain to lead to im
provement is that of hill selection ^
There are various ways of procedure
in the practice of hill selection, but
the one most likely to give the best re
sults is that of marking the best plants
in the field or the seed plat before the
foliage begins to ripen and digging
them by linnd just before harvesting
the main crop.
Examine Each Plant.
The product of each individual plant
should lie examined separately, and
only those that show uniformity in
size and shape and that have produced
a maximum number of merchantable
tubers should be selected. Each select
ed hill should he given a number,
sacked separately, and a careful rec
ord made. The following season the
tubers of each selection should be
planted separately in order that their
behavior may lie noted throughout the
growing season. It will be found that
many of them possess no superiority
over the general run o? field stock, but
a few will be decidedly good. A large
number of these progeny can be
marked for discard before they are
harvested. At harvesting time the
progeny of each promising selection

Corn silage and velvet beans are

j Other points brought out by the tests
Indicate: that velvet beans compare

are the sole concentrate of the ration ;
that it is more profitable to feed
6onked beans than it is to grind them ;
j and that more beans will be eaten if

1 j The objects of the experiment were
I 1 to compare velvet beans In three forms

which velvet beans might be fed in fat

It was hoped that the tests wonld show

should again be studied carefully and
only those which seem to possess su
perior merits retained. If it is possible
to reduce these to one or two, it Is de
sirable to do so. Further progress
along this line consists in increasing
the progeny of the selection or selec
tions as rapidly as possible. At the
end of the third season a sufficient
quantity should be available to plant
the field crop. It is desirable to main
tain a seed plat each year and to con
tinue the process of hill selection and j
the development of pure strains. In
order to practice potato selection in
telligentiy it is necessary to have a
true conception of the type of the
variety or varieties being used.
Immature Seed.
Relatively few growers in the United
States really maintain a seed plat,
and still fewer practice planting the
seed plat at a considerably later date j
than the main crop in order to secure j
small to medium-sized immature tu- ,
hers, as is the custom with many Eng- |
lisli and Scotch seedsmen. In planting ,
the seed plat designed for the pro
duction of seed for the main crop the
following season, it is desirable to
plant two or three-ounce whole tubers, j

feet stand and a minimum percentage
of diseased plants. At the same time,
as a result of late planting and the
heavy set produced by whole seed, the
tubers do not attain a large size and
are thus ideal for seed purposes. The
date of planting the seed plat should
lie governed by the locality in which
the potatoes are to be grown. In gen
eral, it might be said that the seed
plat should he planted as late as it is
possible to insure a good tuber devel

ration of 9.62 pounds of soaked, whole
velvet beans, 23.40 pounds of com
silage, nnd 3.72 pounds of dry rough
age. This lot made an average daily
gain of 1.99 pounds a head, at a cost
of about 13 cents a pound, or $13.19 a
hundred.
The dry roughage was the same for
all lots and consisted of corn stover
for the first 28-day period, and wheat
straw for the last three 28-day periods.
The feeds were at current standard
prices and the charge against each
kind Included the actual cost of lay
ing it down at the farm.
The examination of the carcasses in
the cooler at Baltimore showed that
lots I and IV were nearly alike as to
quality. However, meat experts there
were of the opinion that if any differ
ence existed it was in favor of the
carcasses in lot IV. Lot II was better
than lot III, because of the greater
covering of fat. The average dressed
weights, according to the Baltimore
basis, gave the following percentages
of dressed to live weights : Lot I,
54.16; lot II, 54.87; lot III, 54.01; lot
IV, 55.77. The steers were sold on the
farm by farm weights at 2% cents
pound more than they cost in East
St. Louis.
