After moving from the Atlantic
! TO the Pacific coast, the beef cat
tie industry is now retroceding 20
| the East. The shortage of meat
animals, which came 50 suddenly
upon the United States that even
those who predicted it were sur
prised, is bringing once more steers
to the hillsides and pastures OF
the eastern farms, is nophlating the
waste areas with cattle TO feed
the cities and at the same time 70

soils. In the east lie all the pos
sibilities and opportunities for the
reversal OF the present meat fam
inc.
y decade ago the United States
was one OF the largest beef eX-
porting nations in the world; today
1T is an importing nation. As the
population OF the United States in
creased the tide moved westward,
and much Of the natural grazing
.and OF the east was put under
cultivation. AT the same time the
beef cattle industry moved west
ward, keeping ahead of the pillow of
the farmer in order to make use Of
cheap grazing land. With the OBJ
ening up OF the large ranges OF
the west, Who're cattle could be graz
ed cheaply the entire year, 1t be-
came impossible for eastern farmers
10 compete, with the result that
beef production in the east declined.
The opening of the coal mines and
on and gas wells discouraged the
growing Of beef cattle in many sec
tons because of the revenue re-
ceiVed from the new industries. H.
creasing demands for milk products
from the large cities of the east had
tendency to encourage dairy
ing instead OF beef making. Beef

easily be shipped from the west,
but milk products had to be pro-
dueed locally.
Now the large ranges of a dec
ade ago are rapidly being cat up
into farms. These cheap western
lands. which at one time furnish
cd pasture for thousands of cat
tel are now practically thing of
the past. This Is evidenced by the
total number of western range eat

SAMMY JAY TELLS HIS TROUBLES
TO REDDY FOX.
By THORNTON ". BURGESS.
Copyright. 1918. by J. g. Lloyd.)

Sammy jay could think of nothing
but the terrible fright he had had at
Farmer Browns corncrib. H c had
few grains of corn when something
had seized his bill and hung OIL. Sam
my didn't have the least bit Of doubt
that 1t was q trap of some:kind set by
Farmer Browns boy. He flew down
to the Green Forest to think it over
and plan some way to get even will,
Farmer Browns boy. AS he sat there
muttering to himself along came Red
dy Fox. For a wonder Reddy saw
Sammy before Sammy saw him.
Reddy grinned. Sammy certainly
has got something Oh Ills mind"
thought Reddy. Then: lie said aloud:
Hello, Sammy! What's. the matter!
You look rs If you had tho stomach
ache aud the, headacl1e and q few 9TH
er. aches:
Matter enough, Reddy Fox! Matter
enough" snapped Sammy. Then be-
cause he felt that he Just had to tell
some one he told Reddy all about his
terrible fright that morning. 81
ut was a trap" said Sammy. "It
was some kind of a trap set by Farm
err Browns boy. Just as II he couldn't
spare a few grains Of Corn when he
has got SO much! I--i--T'd like to-
to peck his eyes out! That's what I'd
like to do"
Sammy said that because It was the
most dreadful thing he could think
Of, but he didn't really rnean it. Red
dy knew it and grinned for he also
knew that Sammy didn't dare go near
enough to Farmer Browns boy 10
more than scream atat5hinl.i All the
time he had been listening Reddy had
sat with. his head cock6d on one side,
which Is a way he has when he is
thinking. Inside he was laughing, for
Reddy knows a lot about traps and
about Farmer Browns boy and he
didn't believe that Farmer Browns
boy would ever set astrap In such a
queer place as a crack in the wall Of
a corncrib. "He wouldn't bother to
try to trap Sammy Jays.he would just
watch with his gun and shoot Sammy
II he really care aboutstheAtew grains

thing else that frightened Sammy.
But 1t isn't the least bit Of use to tell
