Of sbnment must be great and explains the ncrea

We hear very little nowadays of conspiracy OF the packers to
nut up meat prices beginning be realized that the pack
ers are having pretty hard time of it cattle enough to sup
nlv the domestic demand This country doing
little now towards supplying the foreign demand for fresh meat
This being isn't it mistake for Georgia farmers and
cattle raers to epete their stock cattle? They just be-
ginning to realize they raise cattle potaby They
giving attention to the growing corn few of them
are beginning to experiment with alfalfa.
The time may close hard when they will regret having
parted with cattle Instead selling them be shipped to other
states oud advisable for them to turn their attention to
