Chicago, Aus. 8--Cheap prices
for beef, based on a more abundant

a statement today commenting on
the record high prices paid for cat

IN his opinion the only relief lies
with the farmers Of the corn belt
who, with improved methods OF
farming and the use Of corn and al
falfa in feeding, may be able to pro-
duce beef cattle in larger numbers
and at lower costs in the next few
years.
