Wilmington Man Gets a Letter From

Wilmington Man Gets a Letter From
Montana Explaining Situation.
In letter received at Wilmington
from Bird Dougherty, formerly of
Wilmington. who is now visiting in
Montana, is found an explanation of
one reason for the shortage of cattle
and the advance in the price of beef,
a matter which is concerning the en-
tire country. Mr.. Dougherty, who
recently went West as a guest of a
prominent ranch owner in Montana,
has learned from his host that ranches
are disappearing in many sections of
the Western States and titled farms
are taking their places, the ranches
being cut up into farm lands, and
where cattle were formerly raised in
large herds for the market are now
farms, which are used chiefly for
growing cereals. Mr.. Dougherty was
disappointed as he intended to become
interested in the ranch business.
His discovery, however, may cause
him to change his mind, in which
event he will return East, where he
has always lived. A few years ago
the major portion of some of the
States in the extreme West were de-
voted largely to cattle raising, and it
was a profitable business, but for
some reason many of the ranchmen
have abandoned the calling and the
land which they formerly occupied
has been converted into farms and
the cattle are gradually disappearing
the refrom. 1t may be necessary to
enlarge the present scope of the raz-
ing territory, for if this is not done
it looks very much as if the cattle
industry would not be able to keep
pace with the demand.
