Ry e J. IDDINGs. Idaho Experiment
Station)
Beef cattle shortage, predicted for
several years by careful observers Of
live stock conditions. Is now a serious
problem commanding public atten-
kion.
Years ago widespread use Of the
range and cheap beef made from free
grass drove the farmer out Of the beef
cattle business. During the last ten
years the farmer had his turn and has
changed thousands Of square miles Of
grazing land into homesteads and cul-
tivated farms. With cattle driven in
relative large numbers from both farm
and range, could there be any doubt
Of ultimate beef cattle shortage?
An increase Of population for the
last decade of 81 per cent. is met by q
beef shortage Of sever per cent. Dur
Rg the last six months prices Of our
great markets have been continually
reaching higher levels, until the 10
and IL cent steer seems to be with us
for some time to come. Unfortunate
features of the situation are that good
female stock of breeding age has been
sent to market in increasing numbers,
and that there has been for the last
ave years an unprecedented slaughter
OF calves.
Many remedies have been suggest
ed, among them a national law pre-
venting the slaughter Of female stuff
for a period Of years. Public senti
ment and concerted action on the par
of live stock men, rather than statute
law, Is the remedy for the situation.
High prices for cattle on foot will
naturally encourage many farmers
and ranchers to extend or start in cat
ne. A beef producers association II

beef cattle situation and widespread
realization OF the need Of immediate
efforts toward breeding a future beef
supply would aid in retaining on the
farm a large percentage of the calves

The flow marketward Of half fin
ished stuff must be checked. Corn,
oats and hay r more plentiful and
relatively cheaper than beef. Reten-
ton of the habitat steer in the feed
yard for several weeks means more
beef from each animal and more
economical use of feed stuffs.
Another method of producing more
good beef in a reasonable time Is by
the use Of better bulls on grade cows

GOOD NEWS
FROM VIRGINIA

Mighty good mining news comes
from Virginia City. For some time
it has been feared that deep mining
on the old lode was to be abandoned.
Il has kept Virginia City people un-
easy and they were figuring that pos
sibly the old levels would fill, which
means abandonment of the lower
levels.
Yesterday A. F. Coffin came from
San Francisco and held a general
conference with Engineer Welsh.
After looking over the work and Wis
iting the property, it was decided to
carry one deep mining again. The
proposition is about as follows.
The removal of the hydraulic ele-
vators in the c. & c. shaft will take
place Tt has been found unneces-
sary to use them further, as the two
big centrifugals will handle 225O gal
ions minute, which will keep the
water down to the 200 level without
difficulty. BY this removal of the
hydraulics it leaves another compart-
:nent for working.
The news was given out that on
Tuesday the work Of deep mining
is 20 be resumed The reopening of
the Ohpir Con Virginia drift on the
2500 will be started. This connects
with the joint Ophir Mclean winze
two new pumps are to be installed.
This is all good news. as it affects
