George Wesley Birch was accident

pany with other employees Of the Wolf

At present there is considerable agi-

just what Dr. Fewkes would prescribe

very much reduced capacity for the
same reason. and In no cases was 1t
found that the creameries were oDer-
ating at the greatest capacity.
The general deduction from those
observations is that in very few cases
are Colorado creameries able o get
sufficient butter fat to enable them to
operate at full. and consequently the
most economical capacity from the
point of view of both patrons and op-
orators.
One cause OF the deficiency of milk
and cream is that enough Is not pro-
duced within shipping distance of the
creameries. Another and possibly
more serious cause of the trouble is,
that while in many localities there IL
suficient production OF raw product
to support the local creameries, they
are frequently closed or seriously han
dicapped In their operations owing to
the fact that much of the milk and
cream is shipped to distant factories.
Many creameries which have been or
ganized on correct principles and have
operated profitably for a time have
gone to the wall or are closed tempor-
arily because the patrons are unable
to resist the temptation of the extra
few cents offered by the centralized
creameries which usually go back to
the old price as s0en as the local COM
petitors have been destroyed In many
cases 1t seems to be the error of hold
ing cent SO close to the eye that 1t is
impossible to see the dollar beyond
Unfair competition OF this kind is GER
tainiy discouraging to the future es-
tablisllment of creameries in the state
There is little use of building new
dairy plants until we raise enough raw
material to permit existing establish
ments to operate at profit, or until
the patrons are able to Withstand the
competition of outside centralized
plants.
There is no question but that the
factories will come as fast as the raw
material is available and as fast as To-
cal economic conditions insure reason
able safety and profit to the capital in
vested.
1t is gratifying to know that in a
number of counties. bankers are &C.
lively encouraging the dairy industry
Farmers are being induced to buy good
dairy stock and to provide silos and
other facilities for taking care of them
In some cases money is loaned the
farmers for carrying out their plans
while in other instances interested
men have bought the cattle and ship
ped them to the counties and then
sold them to the farmers at actual
cost for cash or on reasonable ant
safe terms.

Buyers OF cattle from the dressed

its duration depending on the will of
the ranch owners in the great grazing
sections of the west and southwest
The slaughter of cattle In Kansas
City has been far below normal for
some time past. but reached an acute
stage this week when fewer than
eleven thousand cattle have gone to
four days, or no more than enough
to supply the state of Missouri a full
beef ration for two days. This weeks
slaughter Of cattle will be less than
half that of the corresponding week
year ago.
slaughter far Less Thsn Capacity
The capacity of the Kansas City
slaughter house is eighteen thousand
cattle daily and the plants have had
less than one-seventh of this number
in the past four days.
In the four days this week the five
Western markets received only $4,000
cattle, compared with $4,000 cattle
a year ago, a decrease of 33 per cent
In the first five and one-half months
this year the same markets received
800 900 fewer cattle than in the same
period of 1918, a decrease of IL per
cent. This shortage of meat has been
Increased further by the unusually
light weight of cattle this year. due
to the scarcity os feed.
Killers say prices for cattle have
been kept within bounds owing to the
unusually small use of beef They say
the consumption of mutton has in
creased. while pork and beef have de-
creased, thus keeping prices of cattle
and hogs lower than expected and
prices of sheep higher
Receipts Depend Upon Grazing
Increased receipts, commission men
say, depend entirely on the grazing
Esections to the west and southwest of
Kansas City. Thus far this season
that movement which should be we'll
under way, is far below normal, prac-
tically the only grass fat cattle re-
ceived coming from Texas below the
quarantine line. Only one. shipment
has been received from the Usage
country in Oklahoma. The Missouri
Valley will supply few fed cattle until
another corn crop can be made into
, beef. Pasture men assert that they
will hold cattle for grains, making the
marketing season late Some say it
will take killing frosts to turn cattle
from grass, and then If the corn crop
IS as large as it now promises, many
will go to feed lots instead of to mar
ket. -I -. .Ss<
Thus far this year receipts of all
live stock at the Kansas City stock
yards were only 40,276 cars, a de-
crease Of 9,2S9 cars, or 1917 per cent,
compared with the same period in
1913, and the smallest car lot receipts
in any similar period since 1892 The
crease is 1l7,300 cattle and 225,000
