The Big Stock Show as

While there is every indication that
the attendance at the coming Western
Stock Show, January 10Th 26th, will be
the greatest ever known at similar
event in the west, and the show will
be the greatest ever held west of the
Missouri river, there is one class of
people whose attendance is especially
desired. This class consists Of the
small stockman and farmer who does
not go to market with his stock, bat
sells to the speculative buyer. 1t is,
as rule. "A difficult matter to convince
this class Of stockmen OF the import
ancc to them of the live stock exhibi-
ton. II he could be made to realize
what it means to him in a business
way, he would be here in force.
at is a fact that the greater part of
stock bought and sold on the live stock
markets of the country come from
farmers and stockmen who never saw
live stock market. They sell to the
speculator or other buyer who calls on
him, and it is plain case of dicker
But in majority of cases, the buyer
has the advantage OF knowing the APP
proximate market value Of the animals
he is trying to buy, while the 5eller Is
ignorant. The farmer either iinagines
his animals worth much more than Is
the case, or he does not realize how
valuable they are. In either case he is
doing business in the dark
SO spoke President Henry Gebhard
Of the Colorado Packing Company
Asked If from the packers standpoint
it was desirable to have the farmer
posted as to the value of his stock, Mr.
Gebhard continued
"In the majority of instsnces, the
farmer with fairly good bunch OF cat
tie which he has raised himself, irnag
ines that they are the best the world
produces and because the packer re-
fuses to pay him the top market price
for them, he thinks we are robbers
The only method of educating these
stock growers is to bring them 10 a
stock show where they can compare
the best efforts Of the experienced
feeders with the work they have been
doing. The packers have found less
difficulty in dealing with uten who
know the value Of their animals than
with any other class.-Record Stockman
