Show NATURAL CENTER Hn FOR STOCKYARDS Railroad Man Says Salt Lake Is Overlooking a a Big Op Opportunity Opportunity Thousands of or tons of at beet tops and beet pulp are annually thrown away by t 1 y Utah sugar beet raisers and that enor enormous enormous enormous waste is nothing loss less than a II crime That material Is valuable for Cor sheep feed feeding feeding ing and it would bring the farmers an immense sum If It they the only realized it fl H W Y T formerly connected cnn with the Kansas hansas City stockyards and now no the th general agent of the St Jos JO Grand Island railroad with offices In the Judge building here made the statement to a Herald reporter In the Kenyan Kenyon yesterday He asserted that Utah farmers have hae no n realization n of or the money mone they the throw throwaway away 4 Mr desires to impress on utah farmers the necessity of at utilizing beet bE et tops and beet pulp for sheep feeding He Heas has as had years ears of ot experience both in the sugar beet and sheep business He said In to an Interview It is remarkable how ho very cry few tew sugar beet raisers here In Itah realize the value alue of ot the sugar beet tops and pulp which they the throw away awa but which would be converted Into an immense amount of at money mane If iC they the only knew how de desirable desirable desirable those products are to the sheep men Shipped East and Back They The do not understand why wh It is necessary for tor shippers here to send sheep east whereas as the same sheep are sent back here h re within a short period all i dressed and ready read for consumption The two problems could be bf easily solved by b I feeding the Utah sheep with beet tops and beet pulp and Ind the establishment of at stockyards here her all of at which would be beof beor beof of or tremendous advantage to the people both In the price and quality of at the mut mutton mutton mutton ton tonI I was tul talking to one on of ot the most prom prominent promInent prominent packers packer In the United States a tel few months ago when I was connected with the Kansas City stockyards and he ad advised advised me that practically no mutton had hall been shipped east t from the Kansas City stockyards within the past eight months He said that western people do not know that there are aro more moe people In the west who are consuming this pro product product product duct than there were five fe years cars ago ao and that the demand Is increasing every eer month mon h for tor mutton Another reason why wh the consumption Of mutton has fallen off In the east Is II I because about of ot the people are out of o employment on account of o the financial stringency and they use less lesa JasI i I costly meat All that Is a substantial argument ar argument argument why wh Itah should have its own 1 I sheep dressed here In stockyards instead i i of ot pa paying paYin me the additional charges for tor mut mutton mutton 1 ton entailed by b the transportation of I sheep to and from the middle west stock stockyards i i yards Are Twin Industries I Utah farmers ought alight to b be educated to the value of ot the beet blet tops and beet pulp In Colorado they have haa been found to be bo worth U t per acre and nd here the farmers farm farmers farmers ers think they the are worth orth nothing Fur they the do not seem eem to think of or orthe the fertilization which comes from sheep In the travel 1 t bf f t the flocks over oer their lands Sugar beet raising and sheep raising ought to be twin industries they ought to go hand In hand for tor they both have hae interests i In common The fertilization from the travel of or sheep over sugar beet land increases the production of the land to the amount of ot one and tons more per acre the following year ear It also alo I enhances the value alue of ot the land about n nI 12 I per acre yearly That has been thoroughly demon demonstrated demonstratEd demonstrated in Colorado where land valued at 50 per acre five tIe years ears ago has been increased by the travel of sheen shee over It to the value alue of ot 00 per acre now Some land there has been increased Increase to the valuation of S1 per acre all due ue to the beet Industry and the feeding reeding of at sheep on beets In that state It Is a II well known fact tact that eastern packers buy bU sheep which have been fed ted fedon tedon fedon on beet tops tt ps and beet pulp and sell the dressed product at a higher price than that of at sheep which hae have been fed ted on corn and alfalfa hay That Is because the dressed meat of at sheep sh ep fed ted on beets ets Is whiter and shows shops better on O the hooks books i to the average butcher buyer I Natural Stockyards Center I Moreover It cuts 75 cents per head to feed sheep on beet tops and beet pulp and it costs 25 per head to feed sheep on any other commodity such as corn 1 alfalfa hay etc eta tc That Is another adlan advantage advantage I tage ta In feeding the th sheep for tor the sheep men would derive derie more profit from the sale of their flocks If It f the cost of ot feeding reeding could be reduced so materially Utah especially Salt Lake ought to tobe tobe tobe be the stockyards center of oC the intermountain inter intermountain mountain region The cost of ot transportation transportation tation now paid by sheep men to have their animals dressed In Kansas City Chicago Omaha and other packing cen sea centers centers Is simply money wasted Stock Stockyards yards should be established here and they would work to the advantage of the general public the sheep men and the sugar beet raisers a |
