If there was ever a time when
the stock owner should go slow
and keep level head it is right
now. The man who owns live
stock should keep up vigorous
thinking before he lets it go.
Much of the rush of live stock to
the market in the past month has
been unnecessary. There is al
ways tendency at such times
to get very badly frightened be-
fore being hurt. When certain
conditions arise it is a very easy
matter to fall through bridges
one never crosses and become
drowned in water that has never
existed. In many localities
where withered grass, scorched
cornfields, and failing wells exist
it will require nerve to keep in
the business. Some will be COM
PEELED to sacrifice, but many can
tide over the conditions as they
are if they will only keep an act
i've brain and stiff upper lip.
There is a great rush of all
kinds of cattle to the markets of
the world. This condition de-
moralizes prices and packers and
buyers plead with shippers in
vain. It seems to us that it
would be far better to transfer
cattle to other localities where
more forage can be obtained than
to rush them into an already
glutted market where great sac
rifices must necessarily be made.
We will suppose that the price
of corn is going to be high. Does
anybody remember many years
in the past th1rty-fve when high
priced corn did not mean high
priced cattle? Corn has been
advancing during the period of
bad reports and cattle have been
steadily advancing at the same
time. We mean finished cattle,
while the unfinished products
have only been aiding in the
downward trend of prices on an
already glutted market of infer
ior stuff.
AS far as we are able to ascer-
tain the drouth-stricken region
extends from the northern part
of the United States to Kansas,
embracing a region a thousand
thousand miles long and more
than six hundred wide. 1t
spreads over the greater portion
of the grain belt. In this region
the hay crop is fair, small grain
an average crop and an abund-
ance of straw may be found in
all parts. The damage done
varies and the yield of corn will
be from very little in the worst
afflicted localities to about two
thirds of crop in other locali-
ties. We have reports from per-
sons who reside in the drouthy
region that claim they will have
a full crop, while others not far
distant from where these reports
come state that thev will have abb
solutely nothing. We take it
that those who make the dis
couraging reports may be
frightened to such a degree
that it is impossible for them to
make a correct estimate as to the
actual conditions. - Live Stock
