Those who have kept in touch with
the great cattle business of the United
states will have observed a note OF
agement running through the
writings and talks of our Northern
and Western friends for the past year.
and especially during the latter months !
OF the year. The ranges and feed lots l
have thrown onto an already over
stocked market thousands upon thou
sands Of cattle good. bad and indiner- |
ert The principal reasons FOR this
suicidal policy have been gradual
increase OF land values making the
cost OF beef growing through the corn
belt greater. the rise in the price or
corn. the staple feeding product or
that section: the high price OF farm
labor. and the natural tendency OF
mankind 10 follow the crowd Ike
