AVAILABLE plant food in the soil may
be compared to feed in a self-feeder. The
more hogs running to the feeder, the
faster the food will disappear. Increased
yields from liming, plowing under organ
ic matter, planting more vigorous hybrid
seed, or more seed per acre, all make
greater drains on the soil.
To give com a chance to produce to
capacity, many growers now use high
potash fertilizers, like 3*12*12, 0*12*12,
and 0*20*20. If the available potash is
xelatively lower than phosphates, then
grades like 2*8*16, 0-10*20, and 0*8*24
are suggested. Plenty of potash keeps
com plants healthy, with strong stalks
which will produce plump kernels. It

Father of the Cattle Trails
IF IT had not been for Joseph G.
McCoy, there might never have
occurred that epic migration over
the cattle trails from Texas to the
north during the seventies and
eighties. In that case the history
of the Lone Star state—and the
whole West, for that matter—might
have been very different. McCoy,
a native of Springfield, Ill., was a
stockman and cattle buyer who
went to the raw little frontier town
of Abilene, Kan., soon after the
Civil war was over.
That conflict had ruined the cat
tlemen in Texas. Shut off from
the Northern markets by the Union
control of the Mississippi river,
their herds had increased enor
mously, but without a place to sell
the animals, they were compar
atively worthless. Then the Kan
sas Pacific railroad, which was
building west, reached Abilene and
McCoy had a wonderful idea.
If he could get the Texas drovers
to drive their herds north across
Indian territory to Abilene, grazing
them on the rich prairie grass as
they came, Abilene would be the
market place and shipping center
where Texas sellers and Chicago
and Kansas City buyers could
meet. Despite many obstacles, in
cluding the prevalent belief that
Texas beef was not as good as
that grown in the Middle West, Mc
Coy went about the job of making
his dream come true.
In July, 1867, he began raising
money to build a “shipping yard,”
a barn and office and to begin the
construction of a large, three-story
frame hotel for the accommodation
of Texas drovers and eastern buy
ers. His next task was to get
word to the cattlemen more than
400 miles away to the south. Al
though the time was short
aged to persuade enough
to make the experiment
they marketed 35,000 head
in Abilene that fall and
approximately $15 a head.

received
The next year more than 75,000
cattle were marketed there. By
1871 that number had jumped to
120,000 and by the next year to
236,000. From that time on Texas
cattle poured north by the hundreds
of thousands over the original cattle
trail from the Red river to Abi
lene and other trails which were
laid out. Other Kansas “cow towns”
began to boom with activity as the
railroad was pushed farther west
and southwest and there was added
to our history that thrilling chap
ter when the cattleman was king.
And all of this was due to the vision
of one man—Joseph G. McCoy, the
“Father of the Cattle Trails.”

Busy Bee
A honey bee goes about four miles
on a trip and may take as many as
10 or 12 trips a day. A good hive
of bees in a good location can pro
duce a pound of honey in three
quarters of an hour, or about 20 to
22 pounds a day. It has been esti
mated by the department of agri
culture experts that a pound of
honey represents the life work of ap
proximately 1,000 bees, a bee’s
working life averaging about three
weeks. It takes about 20,000 “bee
loads” of nectar to weigh one pound.
This will make about one-quarter
of a pound of honey.
