TWEXTY-FIVE YEARS OLD
With this issue- The Herald enters
.on Its 25th year. A glance over its
files shows that it has not Increased
very much in size- and that its policy
today is very much like th,- policy
outlined in its forst issue. During
the 24 years of its existence it has
been a constant booster for Pullman
and this persistent boosting has
doubtless contributed somewhat to
the growth and development of the
city.
The files of a newspaper furnish
the best history of a commttiity, for
in them are recorded the every day
doings of the people from the cradle
to the grave, and all of the import
ant projects undertaken by the town.
The Herald has published the stories
of many notable accomplishments,
such as the striking of artesian
water, the decision of the Northern
Pacific Ry. to build here and the lo
cation of the W. S. C. In nearly
every issue' some improvement has
been noted or suggested
On one's birthday it is in order
for one to make some good resolu
tions and the 27, th birthday resolu
tion of The Herald is to constantly
work to promote the growth of the
city, the harmony and good will of
its people, to always advocate the
doctrine of making Pullman a good
place to live in. and to encourage and
advocate anything which will tend
to bring about this -result.
MAKE Vol OWN PIE
The' Herald believes that far bet
ter results will lie attained if the resi
dents of,the cities of Whitman county
will devote their energies to the con
struction of good roads between the
towns instead of scrapping over the
route of a state highway to be com
pleted some time in the dim distant
future. The city which helps itself
instead of waiting for the state to
help it is the city which will forge
to the front.
By working together for the con
struction of roads under the perma
nent roads law, all the larger towns of
th. country could be connected by
good roads by the time the proposed
state highway is completed and then,
wherever it goes, all the towns would
be more or less benefitted.
It is a whole lot better for the
people of each community to devote
their time and energy to making
their own pie. rather than to waste
it in scrapping over a piece of pie
which the state may bake sometime
in the future.
PROTECT THE BIRDS
•i '.:■ .h-■ ■■ . .
a
An unfamiliar disease recently de
stroyed about .25.000 horses in Kan
sas, causing a property loss of sev
eral millions of dollars. The fact
serves to emphasize again certain
forms of waste In this country
Take destructive insects, for in
stance. In the matter of cecils our
-
annual hiss is about $"200,000,000 a
year; in the case of hay, «53.000,
--000; in the ease- of cotton, $60,000,"
--000; in the ease of truck crops. $53,
--000,000; fruits. $27,000,0004 In the
case of sugar and 1 tobacco about
$5,000,00 each, and so it goes.
It has been estimated thai the
chinch bug wheat pest alone costs
this country $20,000,000 a year, the
cotton boll weevil an equal amount,
and tree-insect pests at least 00,
---000,000.' The- total for all Insects
reaches the staggering sum of nearlj
$500,000,000. '
Experts who have studied the
question believe that much of this
heavy loss could be avoided if states
would enact and enforce laws to pre
vent the slaughter of useful birds.
By Stopping the slaughter of useful
birds that feed upon destructive pests
and parasites responsible for much of
the enormous national waste, it is
believed that the value of our agri
cultural output can be greatly In
creased, and there' is no reason to
doubt the correctness of the' view.
.Most states have enacted laws de
signed to protect' useful birds, bu*
there seems to have been some
trouble about, the enforcement of
these beneficial statutes.- -Seattle
Post-Intelligencer.
Many women have no doubt made
up their minds to vote some party
ticket because their husbands or
fathers do, but the great majority
want to vote for the best candidates
and the best principles. These
women should attend all the political
meetings, listen to the candidates of
the different parties and weigh their
arguments. By so doing they can
reach far more intelligent conclu
sions than by reading partisan
papers or listening to the advice of
[.arty boosters.
The Future Beef Supply
(By C. L. Smith, agriculturist of
the 0.-W. R. & N. Co.)
There is no disputing the fact that
the practice of growing stock on free
range, and either marketing as
grass beef" direct from the range
or selling to farmers for feeders in
the corn belt to be fattened, has not
only passed the limit, but it Is rapid
ly on the decline. Not only Is the
area of open range decreasing, but
what is left has been overstocked
to such an extent that it takes a
great many acres to furnish feed for
one steer. Often this feed is so short
that cattle come off the range in poor
condition, making the cost of winter
feed very expensive. There is but
little left of what used to be winter
range, and any scheme for re-grass-
Ing the worn out ranges will prove
abortive without a radical change in
both past and present methods of
handling. .'■.".''.;
All this clearly indicates that the
beef supply of the future must come
from the farms of the country—
fenced field! and cultivated land
/ ON THE NEW ROAD
When you have started forth toward your vision
When you have counted up the gain and cost,
When you have faced the old, old world's'derision,
Its scoffing tale of all endeavors lost;
When all is said, leave it the sane, wise clinging
To proven ways you never can recall:
It lias not heard your golden trumpet ringing—•
0 pioneer, the end is worth it all.
J
When by/your cause you stand, its one defender,
And hear the jeers and anger grow more loud,
When greater men than you, grave-eyed and tender,
Look on your lone defiance from the crowd,
Ten, then the joy of battle surges in you,
The splendor of the quite unequal strife,
And all the strength of soul and brain and sinew
Proclaim that you will win, and this is life!
Madness and pride? Nay, never heed the shouting,
The future's yours—can you not, wait, 0 youth?
In your divine conceit you know, undoubting,
That you have found a fragment of God's truth.
How shall you fail, how shall your faith diminish?
Faith less in self than in your splendid dreamt
You heard God speak to you, and at the finish
Par in the east you saw your vision gleam,
—Mildred Huxley, in the Spectator.
This means either radical changes in
methods of feeding or much higher
priced beef. There are today several
methods in practice, all of which will
need some- modification to meet the
requirements of constantly changing
conditions.
Baby beef seems to suggest one
line- that may be followed' with pro
tit. Even with the highp rices pre
vailing for grain and hay during the
past two years, the men who have
been producing baby beef have been
able to make fair profits, much bet
ter profits, in fact, than those who
have fed mature stock, whether such
stock was home grown or from the
range. With the 3-year-old or 4
year-old range steer in the feed lot.
two to two and a half tons of hay
and one ton of grain per head is con
sidered necessary to finish a 1300 •<>
1500 pound steer. On tin- other
hand it has been demonstrated again
and again that a well bred calf kept
growing .thriftily up to IS or 2-*
months of age, can he- finished in
condition to top the market with less
grain and hay during its entire life
than is required to finish the 4-year
old; the 2-year-old is better beef,
weighing as much and selling for as
high a price per pound. One carload
of yearling steers recently sold in tin-
Portland market for an average price
of $65 per head. It would seem,
then, that to cheapen the cost of
beef it will be necessary to take ad
vantage of such well recognized
facts .as these:
The younger the animal, the less
feed it takes to make a pound of
gain.
The greater the variety in the- ra
tion the greater the gain per pound
of food, therefore the less will be the
cost per pound of meat made.
The animal, old or young, uses the
proteids and carbo-hydrates in cer
tain proportions; more or less of
either than the animal uses is wast
ed; therefore, the nearer the ration
is compounded to make a balanced
ration the less waste there will be.
In beef making., as in other lines
of manufacturing, cost of production
is reduced by the elimination of all
unnecessary waste.
Alfalfa hay alone is not a balanced
ration, therefore it is not economy to
try making beef on alfalfa hay alone
—either feed a portion of grain or
grass hay and some grain if you are
to make the largest gain for each
pound of feed.
It costs less to keep an animal
growing than to start it growing
again after it has stopped. Once an
animal is stunted for lack of feed,
no after feeding can entirely remedy
the damage. It always takes more
feed to make a pound of gain on an
animal that has once been stunted
than on one that has been kept con
stantly growing.
The food of maintenance is an ex
pense account, therefore it resuires
much less feed to manufacture 1500
pounds of meat in 24 months than
it does to take 4 8 months in which
to do the work.
With young, growing animals, It
is a well recognized fact that if a
portion of the ration Is succulent
food, roots, silage or green feed,
either as pasture grass or soiling
crop—it requires a less amount of
nutriment to make a pound of gain
than when the entire ration Is dry
grain and forage.
On high-priced lands, silage and
soiling crops are, as a rule, more eco
namlcal foods than pasture.
Throughout the Pacific Northwest
all root crops can be grown to ad
vantage. Under intensive methods,
by the liberal use of manure, thor
ough preparation of the soil and good
cultivation. 30 to 60 tons per acr«
may be grown. 1 have been told that
In Scotland they make good beef at a
normal cost with turnips and straw.
Of course! this is done with a Scotch
I steer and a Scotch feeder, both the
! best of their kind.
It has been practically demonstrat
j ed that we can grow corn in most sec
• tions of the Pacific Northwest, and
with the single exception of alfalfa,
|on irrigated lands, it will produce
more feed per acre than any other
plant known.
Fodder corn, alfalfa hay and roots
make a palatable, well balanced, and
economical ration for the young
growing stock.
The best known way of storing
fodder corn is in a silo.
Steers under two years of age
make an average daily gain greater
in value than the cost of the food.
During the past season I have vis
ited many yards where theree and
four year old steers are being fed. 1
failed to find a single lot where the
daily gain was equal to the cost of
feed. The only source of possible
profit was in the increased value of
the original carcass or in an Im
provement of the market. Nine times
out of ten the feeder assured me that
unless there was a rise in the price
of beef he would lose money.
To cheapen the cost of beef pro
duction so that beef may be grown
on cultivated lands at a profit, will
quire well-bred animals, econom
ical feeding, continuous growth,
early maturing and early marketing.
Range stock or range methods ap
plied to the modern farm will result
in loss and dissatisfaction.
The combination of scientific
knowledge with practical experience
ard good judgment are necessary for
a full measure of success To scoff
nt scientific knowledge, balanced ra
tions, intensive cultivation, well
bred animals, practical experience,
keen observation and good judgment
is. today at least, unwise. The com
bination can easily distance either
factor or factors with any one of
these left out.
The scientist who ignores the
value of practical experience is quite
as much a fool as the "practical"
man who refuses to bring to his aid
the results of scientific research.
The most successful beef producer
of the twentieth century will be the
man who has a taste for live stock, a
scientific training, and "practical ex
perience" in the application of sci
ence to the practice of breeding,
feeding and caring for stock, the
growing of feeds and soil cultiva
tion. He will grow a variety of crops,
feed for continuous growth and sell
before the animals stip growing.
