Fort Worth. July iO.-The TEXAS
Stockman's Journal. the official organ
OF the Texas Cattle Raisers' associa,
tion. has just completed an exhaustive
Investigation OF the number OF cattle
at present on Texas ranges with the
view Of finding whether or not n cattle
shortage really exists. The results
shows that the number OF cattle now
in the southwest has decreased from
10 10 so per cent in the past five years.
In few localities there has been no
nppreciable decrease and in southwest
Texas an Increase IL reported. An.
other report. however. from about the
same district tells Of a decrease OF
20 per cent The shortage In the Pan.
handle Is placed at $4,000 head In the
past five years. In New Mexico the
number of cattle has decreased co per
cent In that time and there Is not
a single herd OF aged steers in New
Mexico Indian reservation cattle
have been increasing in number. but
this Is believed 10 be because Texas
cattlemen are taking advantage OF
what they think will be the last free
grazing year.
The result OF this investigation Is TO
bear out the belief OF cattlemen that
while cattle shipments have remained
the same or increased, n real cattle
shortage exists In the southwest and
In the course OF few years II will
