The STOCK SITUATION
The Price of Cattle is So Low in
the Twin Cities That Ranch-
ers Refuse to Ship...Trusts
Seem to Control Business.
Hides High...hogs Big Price.

The Ward county stock raisers
have done little or no shipping
up to date, and it is we'll that
they have not. The price OF
cattle is exceedingly low in the
Twin Cities and just as low in
Chicago. The trusts seem to be
running the business to their
own satisfaction and are Offer
ing the cattlemen any old price
for their stock.
When cattle are but accent and
a half and two cents a pound in
the city, it's better to sell toyour
butcher at two cents a pound.
One rancher remarked that
with hides worth eleven and
twelve cents a pound, it will al
most pay him to kill bis cattle
for their hides which will bring
seven or eight dollars.
Let rancher go to st. Paul
with a bunch of cattle and refuse
to sell for what he is offered. The
minute he leaves for Chicago
with his cattle, word is sent on
ahead that he is coming. He is
offered just what he was offered
in St. Paul. That's the way the
trusts do business. Many ranch
ers will become discouraged with
the cattle business, and the con-
sequences will be that less cattle
will be raised. In a year or two
if this is the case, the stockman
may look for better prices.
The old saying, that the time
to go into the ranching business
is when cattle are cheap. often
proves correct. With hogs at
seven dollars per cwt. and bar
ley, speltz, rape and many other
kinds OF hog food plentiful and
cheap, it would seem that more
Ward county farmers and stock
men would embark in the hog
business.

wanted to or not. Let us not
