Comparatively young, for the most
part, the group includes one or two
men with recognized records in the
baseball world. There is Jim C. Bag
by, Sr.. of Atlanta, the man who
made a great record as a member
of the Cleveland Indians' pitching
staff. Completing his turn ny the
game as a player, Bagby is now rep
resented on the Cleveland roster bv
his son. Jim, Jr The father during
the past two or three years had fit
ted himself for an arbiter's job.
G. F Diem, a brother to "Pap"

league's umpiring staff Standing
well over 6 feet, "Pap's" brother is

son, of Chicago, have been drafted
from tin- Arizona-Texas League for
service as members of the Coastal
Plain League umpiring staff
Roy Greene, of Harriman, N Y.,

mont and Joe Cibulka, another mem
ber of the staff last year, has gone
into voluntary retirement for a year
Baxter Moose is quitting, and Lou
Kearney jumped the league shortly
before the season ended last fall.
Beet' (battle Require
Protein Supplement
Sam L. Williams, assistant exten
sion animal husbandman of N C.
State College, has an answer to the
question: "Can beef be produced
without a protein supplement?"
. This is what he has been telling
beef cattle breeders and feeders who
I have asked the question in recent
i weeks: "In my opinion it can be
done, but it is neither practical nor
j profitable."
Then he goes on to explain that
j the important thing to the cattle
producer is how much weight and
finish he can put on his cattle and
I how long it will require. Efficient
production is essential to greatest
profit in any business, and this is
especially true in the cattle busi
ness.
Some of the more common protein
supplements art cottonseed meal,
soybean meal, linseed meal, and
corn gluten meal. All of these are
about equal in feeding value.
Williams explained that the econ
omy of feeding a protein supplement
lies in the fact that such feeds are
responsible for more efficient utili
zation of feed, larger gains, higher
finish, and a greater selling price.
Numerous experiment stations
have shown that a protein supple
ment in fattening and breeding cat
tle rations will save on both corn
and silage. Then, too, it has the add
ed advantage of producing a super
ior quality of beef.
At? to the amount of this mater
ial to food, the Stall- College special
ist said that ordinarily in winter ra
Hons for beef cattle from one to
two pounds of a protein supplement
is satisfactory if a fair quality of
roughage is fed.

according to President Fowden
Medium-Sized llo<;s
Make Best Profits
Interest in swine production is
amounting, now that prices have def
initely advanced. Ellis Vestal, exten
sion swine specialist of N C. State
College, reminds farmers that the
size of their profits still will depend
upon the way they feed and manage
their hog herds.
"For instance,'* the animal hus
bandman said, tests have been con
ducted that show the most profits
are obtained from feeding out in
termediate size hogs"
The Federal Bureau of AnimaJ
Industry has conducted a study on
swine types at the Beltsville (Md )
Research Center since 1931, com
paring the ability of hogs of differ
ent types to produce pork efficient
ly TTie study brought out the fol
lowing facts:
Large type and intermediate type
sows farrowed and weaned a larger
number of pigs per litter than small
type sows Large and medium type
pigs were heavier at birth and at
weaning time. The medium type
pigs made the* fastest gains, the large
type pigs ranked next. However, the
difference in feed requirements per
100 pounds gain was too small to in
dicate an advantage for any of the
three groups
When the three lots were fed out
to a final weight of 225 pounds, the
large type under-finished When fed
to the same degree of finish, the
small type hogs weighed 143 pounds,
the medium type 214 pounds, and the
large type 225 pounds
Considering all factors, Vestal
says, the intermediate type is be
lieved to be superior in its all-around
ability to meet present-day market
ing requirements. It has the weight
advantage that is flexible enough to
furnish a good market hog at weights
of 200 to 235 pounds and heavier if
conditions warrant.
