Milted that he had considerably
less profit per ton in the large
lot than in the small lot, yet be-
cause of the better bargaining
position of the large producer he
was forced into this .prectice.
So much for the buying. Now
let us look .at marketing. If I
sell one hog .through the hog pro-
ducers marketing agency I will
receive exactly the same price per
cwt as the producer who sells
100 or 1,000. This seems to me
to be as it should 'be,

must produce better and cheaper

I get market price, If I have
20 cases of eggs a week the egg-

cents a dozen over market price.
Yet government reports show that
the small producer supplies by
far the most eggs to the consumer
and he does it cheaper.
In 'the' case of cattle there are
various methods of selling. Here
auction selling seems to be gain-
ing favour but in 'my experience
I found that I paid the auctioneer
Hof a community sale to buy my
cattle for a large feeder rather
than to sell my cattle to the high-
es bidder.
We hear a great deal of talk
on how profitable and how effic-
ient large operators are and that
the small producer can't survive;
but why?
In the light of the' above facts
it seems to me that the large
operator is making a profit be-
cause. of stronger bargaining posi-

second in selling his product.

Any dairyman who is serious about making his herd
produce a better living for his family must get more
milk and longer life from his cows. That takes plan-
ning and skill — but it can be done.
Careful records kept on a large number of farms show
the importance of "more milk". Cows giving only 200
lbs. fat couldn't cover costs. Cows giving 300 made
only $25, Cows giving 450 met all charges and left
$91 profit. Another example: Figuring-feed and milk
at 1950 prices, to get a fair comparison, the Purina
herd at their 1928 production level returned $94.22 per
cow above feed; at their 1950 level $320.96. It cost
more to feed the higher producers, but the higher pro-
duction paid off.
That's half the story. Surveys prove
that the average cow milks less than
4 lactations — then she is sold. Such
cows have only two lactations at most
in which to make a profit after repay-
ing their costs. In the Research Farm
herd the average cow milks for 7 lacta-
tions. If she pays for herself in her
first two milking periods she has 5
filleggitle000°
years left to make a profit.
The cow that really PAYS is the one that stays with you
for a long time and produces and reproduces regularly, stead-
fail to make good over the long pull because they are not
ily, without fading out or breaking down. Many good cows
getting what they need in their feed.
