SHORTAGE OF LIVE STOCK
MEANS A HIGHER MARKET

(By John Fletcher, President of Drov-
ers' National Bank. Chicago)
There is no industry which afecfts SO
vitally the welfare of all the people
of the country as does the live stock
industry. 1t Is the foundation of indi-
vidual and national prosperity. What
ever Injuries this industry or retards
it's development reacts either directly
or indirectly against the welfare of ev-
cry person, and we owe it to ourselves
to understand something of its devel-
opment, its magnitude and the prob
lens which now confront it.
The largest and oldest single indus
try in existence is the work of supply
ing the world with meat The greater
portion of crops grown from the soil
at present time are fed to live stock.
Crop growing is, therefore. in a large
measure but a means to live stock pro-
duction.
1t was one of the axioms of the late
"Sockless" Simpson that while figures
won't lie, liars will figure. | once
heard a prominent public speaker de-
clare that there were three kinds OF
liars-liars, id liars and statisti-
clans While there may be more or
less truth in these modest slams at
the statisticians. it has required no be.
wildering array of figures nor intricate
calculations to prove three things:
First-That live stock of the pres.
ent time is scarce.
Second-That prices are very high.
Third-That these conditions are
not local or national, but worldwide.
There is in the United States today
apparently the greatest scarcity OF
steers ready for slaughter, but also OF
young cattle suitable for grazing and
| feed lot use. and of breeding COWS nee.
essary for the production of beef ami
mails for future consumption.
The government report for January
/, 1912, shows that we have 2OO, ,6O2, 900
head of live stock of all kinds in the
country, valued at little over $5,-OOS,.
100000; in January !. 1913, the re.
turns show decrease during the year
of 6,462,00O to 194.14O,000 head, but
notwithstanding this great shrinkage
in the number of live stock there was
an increase in the total valuation OF
$493, ,456. 900 to $5,501 900, 900
The receipts of cattle on the Chica,
go market in 1912 were the smallest
they had been for thirteen years. AT
