OF BEEF NOW
NATIONAL LIVE STOCK Asso
CATION REPORTS PLENTY
OF MEAT IN COUNTRY.
NO DANGER OF SHORTAGE Al
LONG AS COUNTRY Elk.
PORTS saoo,ooo,ooo WORTH

DENVER, Jan. 11.-There il no
shortage of beef in America nor any
probability OF a shortage, according 10
the National Live Stock association.
President H. A. Jastro and Vice Presi-
dent Murdo Mackenzie Of Trinidad
Colo. vehemently denied the state
ment that there was a shortage at the
afternoon session Of the afternoon,
which was turned over to the Beef
Producers association.
They opposed the campaign of pub
licity urging the farmer and home
steader to raise cattle and declared
that so long as $200,00O,000 worth of
beef was exported each year, there was
lao danger Of shortage.
1.-The price Of beef in Chicago Is
regulated by the price received for our
surplus cattle shipped abroad" said
Mr.. Mackenzie. 1.-The howl that pres
ent prices are putting beef beyond
the reach Of the poor man is unwar-
ranted. 1t Is true that If the consumer
demands the choice cuts he must pay
for them, but beef and good beef is
within the reach of all. Had II NOT
been for the increase of value OF their
lands, cattlemen could not have con-
tinued in the business at the prices
that have prevailed in the past.
At present prices stockmen are Just
beginning to realize n fair return on
their investments. What We should
advocate is better cattle-not more of
them 1t is a terrible mistake to urge
the farmers and homsteaders to enter
the cattle business"
Short addresses along similar hines
were delivered by D. j. Sheehan Of
Rongis, Wyo., and A. E. DeRicqules
of Denver.
A resolution requesting the breed
ers association and range associations
of the country to combine to improve
the breed Of range cattle was adopted.

America will not be the only suff-
