HE CALL FOR
MORE CATTLE

Secretary OF Agriculture WI
ln. emphasized q few days ago
Ne need for more beef cattle. He
feued that in particular the
opthwest should thus use some Of
Us great idle tracts.
10 the south Of here, to the
loFtt. east and west, there are
treat stretches of land which is
sying idle, and the grass thereon
Is fine and capable Of supporting
may thousands of head OF cattle
The land is filed upon or bought
'by people who are merely specu
lating and they will not farm the
land nor will they let any one run
cattle upon it.
Never before IN history has beef
heen 50 high and so scarce. This
southwest country, that used to
ship millions Of head of cattle to
Kansas City and Chicago every
year, is now trying to farm and
thecow man has been driven out.
AS a consequence meat has become
q luxury. Why should q man
hate to start oct again in the cat
tle raising industryl Any man in
this section who has the enter
prise, may start in the cattle bust.
ness with the assurance that the
high price of land will remain; it
will get no lower now and is more
apt to raise.
The spread of the irrigation
raovent, the cutting up of the In
dian reservations and the parcel
ing out OF the railroad lands, have
dealt so heavy q blow to cattle
raising in the north west and the
great influx of settlers from the
high rent districts OF Illinois and
Missouri into this section have
ruined it here. The American
people will be extremely lucky if
beef even remains so low as the
present high prices.
Some of the papers in the east
are beginning TO urge their farm
ers TO do all of their farm work
with oxen instead of horses. Why
are they doing itl The oxen,
they say, not merely pulls the
farmers cart. but he is saleAble
for meat. We are afraid there are
several flaws in this theory to
help out with the high cost of
beef. The horse will remain the
chief burden bearer Of the farmer,
as he has been. 1t is impossible
for the great markets to be fed
from cattle from the east; SO it is
up to this country to supply the
cattle. 1t is great economic
waste to let all Of the vacant land
in this country 90 to waste when
it could be grazing cattle.
