 Graham Bulletin: The question of feeding cattle for market is one which should interest the farmers of this valley. The fact alone that butchers and contractors in this county were compelled to go to the Salt River val. ley for fat beef, and that surrounding markets went as far as Kansas City, Is state of affairs that should cer- tainly appeal to the intelligent farmer in the Gila valley. If it Is profitable Co feed cattle in the Salt River valley and ship them all over the territory and to Los Angeles, 1t certainly be- hooyes the farmers here to feed enough to supply their home markets. The Hereford cattle have proven time and again their superiority for fattening purposes, and recently In Kansas City bunch of l20 Herefords when being fed for market gained on an average of four and half pounds per day for three months. Ire efforts of Col Fl. 0. Hooker in the western part of the county. to raise corn with out irrigation, which he will use for fattening purposes, will be watched with Increased interest, and if sue cessful the Sierra Bonita ranch will become market for fat beef cattle corn fed, and will be sold at from two to-thIee times the price now received for cattle un the range. We believe the feeding of cattle in this valley, when hay and grain can be produced in abundance, is profitable invest ment for our farmers.
