WESTERN BEEF

YEARS ARE BROKEN
Representative of Montana Beef Com
pany Gives Out Statement-Urges
Stoclxmen to Raise More Cattle.

Robert H. Jones, vice president for
Montana and the Northwest Livestock
association, in which he represents
the beef and cattle interests, declar-
ed in an interview while in Spokane
that he has not seen a time in the
last 90 years when western cattle
were as scarce as they are today.
1T is about time that the stock
growers and farmers in the North
western and Pacific states started in
to raise more cattle" he added. 1--WE
are getting better prices for our stock
at home than at the Chicago stock
yards. This proves that the western
country is shorter on beef cattle than
any other district. Our growers
should take advantage of this peculi-
ar state of affairs.
81 can see no good reason why the
farmers in Washington, Oregon, Ida
no and Montana should pass up the
cattle business. OF course, it requires
money to go into the industry on Il
large scale, but every farmer in the
western country should raise a few
Head, at least. That would relieve
the shortage and bring more money
| into the country. Now is the time to
raise cattle"
Mr.. Jones, who is a member of the
| firm of Jones e Bales, operating in the
| Big Hole basin announced that his
company will exhibit 100 head of hay
fed steers from the basin country at
the Northwest Fat Livestock show in
! Portland, Ore, March 20 to 22, also
showing the cattle in the East Spo-
kane yards a week earlier.
our cattle have never fed on any
thing but wild hay, which is grown
on our 6,400 acre ranch under irri-
CATION" he added. ''It is all wild hay.
We believe we can raise a steer on
wild hay for one-third Of the cost OF
producing a corn-fed steer in Iowa
and Nebraska. We expect to demon
strate the high quality of hay-fed
steers at the Portland show, which |
believe will be largely attended"
