Packer Says Mexico Will Solve
Meat Supply Question.
IDEAL PLACE TO RAISE STOCK
General Manager Howe of ArmOur's
Believes Cattle VIII Eventually
he shipped North and south to
Meet weather Conditions.

r.. G. Howe, general manager for Ar
mour & Co., is authority for the state
ment that the high price of meat may be
curtailed by using the broad mesas of
Mexico for breeding and maturing the
cattle. He thinks that after the cattle
have grown to sufficient size they could
be shipped north for finishing on the feed
lots of the Missouri valley.
According to General Manager Howe,
the mild climate Of Mexico and the
abundant feed grasses in the fertile part
of the country make the raising of cattle
there less expensive than in any other
country in the world. In the winters the
cattle of Mexico need no sheds or spe-
cial protection. Mr.. Howe thinks that
when the cattle have passed year or
two they could be shipped to the northern
feed lots and fattened for the market.
In the last few years Texas stockmen
have learned the lesson of shipping their
cattle north during the dry, hot season of
midsummer. Some OF the northern cattle
dealers have lately been considering the
propriety of shipping their cattle south
during the extreme cold weather. Prob
ably the idea will develop gradually.
According to an old stockman at the
yards, the practice of shipping the cattle
north and south during the different sea-
sons will grow. 1t is according to the
custom Of nature" said the cattleman.
Take the buffalo; the herds travelled hun
dreds Of miles from feeding ground to
another in the spring and i'm the fall In
the fall the buffalo ranged south, while
the summer season saw them in the cool
valleys OF the north. The herds grew and
! thrived by such practice. The same will
( be true of the cattle industry when rail
road rates have been properly adjusted"
