The Cattle Situation,

B. E. Norton, the Cedar Springs
Stockman, was at Wilcox this
week and informs us that the Ara
vaipa section is better than it has
been for twelve years. The cattle
are wallowing in grass belly deep
They have all shed and are slick
and fat. The ranges all over this
section are in better condition than
they have been for many years ow.
ing to the copious fall and winter
rains. Few cattle have been sold
this spring on account Of the i'm
preston existing abroad that all
available cattle were shipped out
of here last fall and winter. The
fact of the matter is that only a
small percentage were shipped out.
Several of the smaller cattle oww-
ers sold out to reduce their hold
ings for the reason that the ranges
had during the past years been
overstocked. Buyers have also
complained that the cattlemen held
out for too high prices, This is
certainly an error when one con-
siders the class of cattle. around
Wilcox and vicinity. Messrs.
Norton, Hooker, McKitrick and
others have for a long time been
grading their cattle. Fine blood
ed Hereford bulls haye for several
seasons been imported and
turned lose Oh their ranges and all
their range herds are now COM
posed of graded cattle. Consider.
ing the quality of their cattle their
prices are low compared with the
prices paid for Mexican and un-
graded southern cattle,
Buyers who are in the field for
a good grade of range cattle would
do we'll to visit this section and
acquaint themselves with the situa-
ton. As the season is favorable,

prime condition and cattlemen are
