ORGANIZATION OF THE FARM 



the maize to hogs and cattle condenses the prod- 

 uct to one-sixth its original weight, there would 

 be a considerable saving in freight, by such con 1 - 

 densation of the product, in Illinois as well as in 

 Iowa, but the saving would be twice as great for 

 the Iowa farmers as for the Illinois farmers, and 

 as the price of maize rises, the point where it 

 would be more profitable to ship the maize than to 

 convert it into live stock products would be 

 reached in Illinois before it would be reached in 

 Iowa.
