INDIANA CATTLE BREEDERS ASSOCIATION TO MEET

The annual spring meeting of the Indiana Cattle Breeders’ Association will be held at Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana, on April 13th. At that time, the seven lots of cattle fed at the experiment station will be finished and valued. Four of these lots are being fed rations directly of interest to cattlemen in this war emergency and with high priced com. One lot has received com silage, cotton seed meal and clover hay—no corn at any time. Another lot has received com during -the last few weeks only. The third lot has been receiving about six pounds of corn daily per steer. The fourth lot has received considerable corn from the beginning to the end. In other lots the comparative value of straight corn silage and mixed com and soybean silage can be studied. The third comparison demonstrates whether the cattleman should feed cotton seed meal even under the high prices now current. The program will be as follows: John T. Alexander, of Chicago, “The Markets”;.John G. Brown, of Monon, “Feeding Silage on Pasture”; C. G. Starr, “The Purdue Cattle”; H. P. Rusk, of University of Illinios, “Maintaining Beef Herds in the Corn Belt”, and J. H. Skinner, “The Beef Man and War Time Feeding.” Every cattleman in the com belt will be welcomed. / CHESTER G. STARR, Secretary. A large crowd of Jasper County Cattle Breeders are planning to attend this important meeting. Make airangements to join them.
