of operation of the ranchman, which is
reducing the meat harvest of the west
and becoming quite a factor In the cost
of living
Other causes. he said, were the grea'
immigration to this country and the
movement to the cities. The recent tum-
BILE in prices of meat he attributed t.
drought in the range country and to thu
big corn and oats crops.

done in improving the country's farming
conditions, in spite of great progress al
ready made in this direction. Expansion

the past.
The new lands opened up under the
homestead act for half century age

experts of their kind" Owing to such
farm management, the yield of the acre
in the United States gradually decreased

in this country is ten tons per acre.
reasonably good yield would be twenty

tinued, I'VE can produce within the con-

people need. We are paying out in the
neighborhood of hundred million dollars
a year for the sugar that could be grown
here provided our farmers understood how
to grow the sugar beet. Efforts are be-
ing made by the federal and state gov
ernments to help in these directions.
