Weatherford Men Buy $500
Steers and Cows, and
Lease Spur Ranch.

Fort Worth, Texas, Feb. 27.-The
largest cattle and ranch deal closed
in Fort Worth this year. in which D.
D. swearingen of Kansas City and S.
G. White. Of Weatherford, Texas, have
bought $500 head of steers and COWS,
has been closed IN addition they
they leased what is known as the Spur
ranch. belonging to Swenson brothers,
whose headquarters are at Stamford,
Texas. The cattle purchase involved
about S175, 900, and the longtime lease
covers 100000 acres of choice ranch
lands located in Dickens county, one
Of the best range districts in the
whole Panhandle territory. The cattle
belonged to W. J. Lewis. who had been
simply grazing them there.
The Swenson ranch just leased is one
of the best in the Panhandle territory.

NOW At
HIGHEST POINT
Fifteen Years Ago Year
lings Were $11; Calves
Now Bring $25 to $35.
BY }. II. NATIONS.

The cattle industry today is at the
highest point ever known in the his
tory Of the COW. When we stop a
moment to look back a few years, the
growth seems phenomenal In 1900,
only 10 years ago, the buyer could
contract all the steers ne wanted for
spring delivery at the following prices
Yearlings, from Sl1 to S13; two's, from
-$14.to -sI65, three's and UP. SIS to 81.
Just think Of it, You could buy all
you wanted of good quality at these
prices, and the seller was hunting the
buyer How different today.
We used to wait for the cattle ra1s-
ers' convention to meet in March OF
each year to establish the prices OF
steers for that year; and prices 50
established at such conventions were
maintained as nearly as possible
tbrourhoIIt the wear. The large buyers
were from the northwestern states,
where nine-tenths of the steers from
this great southwest were shipped
Today, where do our cattle go TO De.
matured? Instead of going TO the great
ranges of the northwest, where they
matured on g rass at four years old,
they go to small pastures IN Kansas
Colorado and the Panhandle of Texas,
where they are Jpampered and matured
at from II months to two years Old
Prices Are Different Now.
DO we wait for the meeting Of the
cattle raisers to establish prices now?
No, we go ahead and sell our calves
largely at from S25 to $35 per head,
and deliver in November; or we sell
what steers we have for spring de-
livery at about $50 to S35 for year
lings; $40 to S45 for twOs, and $50 to
S55 Tor three's and up. These are the
prevailing prices for this springs de-
livery. and the number is very limited
at these prices. Compare these prices
with those of 1900 and then ask if the
cattle industry has prOspered.
No More Laws Needed.
] say we don't need any more laws.
Let the great law of nature control the
law of supply and demand"
The cattle ranges, are in excellent
condition and we will have large
calf crop; that is, a large percentage;
but the ranges have been so depleted
o. cattle that this viii reduce the in
crease materially.
It is very hard for an old cowman
to hold on to his cows, with the pres
ent prices prevailing, but the cows that
viii produce a s35 calf is very valu-
able to the owner.

w TASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. IL
\" Two and a half million dol-
lars is now available for fight
ing the foot and mouth disease under
the urgent deficiency bill signed by
president Wilson on January %.
Up TO the first Of the year the cpl
demic had cost the federal government
S2.129, 900. OF this sum S1,840 600 rep
resants the federal governments share
Of the cost Of slaughtering affected
herds and reimbursing the owners for
their loss Of which the government
pays half and the individual state the
remainder. Figures Of the agricultural
department show that exclusive Of the
work in January. 1O1,1T6 animals have
been slaughtered. OF these 46,26S were
cattle, 47,735 swine and the remainder
sheep and goats
Enables Prompt Payments.
The money now at the disposal OF the
department Of agriculture viii, it is be-
Heved, aid the campaign against the
pestilence by enabling the government
TO make prompt payment to all owners
of infected herds, and thus minimize the
reluctance of farmers to have their
herds slaughtered. In Illinois, for exam
pie approximately 100000 is now avail
able for this purpose. The loss IN thaC
state has been larger than in any other,
&c. 900 animals having been slaughtered
there. Pennsylvania comes next, with
IT, 900 animals, and Ohio third, with
1000. None Of the other IS attected
states have lost as many as 5000
In those states in which the local
ouarantines have been rigidly en-
forced" says the department Of agri-
culture, land in which the farmers have
aided the authorities to stamp out the
disease, satisfactory progress has been

example, at first hard hit.

much OF that territory is, however,
now entirely freed from quarantine, and
in only a small area il the movement Of
livestock absolutely prohibited. In In
diana COCO animals were slaughtered
and in Michigan 1000.
while Illinois and Pennsylvania are
probably today the most seriously az
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1915-02-27

fected Of all the states, there is every
reason to believe that energetic meas
ures win stamp out the pestilence there
as well as elsewhere. Although large
quantities Of stock have been affected
already. the number up to the present
is small in comparison with the total
quantity in these states. In Illinois
there were approximately 100000 Of
cattle at the beginning of the outbreak.
Of these 1900 have been slaughtered
Out of approximately 100000 of hogs
only about $1,000 have been killed"
Continue Plans to Curb Spread.
The new outbreak in the opinion Of
the federal authorities emphasizes the
necessity of adhering for some time
longer to the quarantine regulations
that prohibit the shipment OF any stock
from the guaranteed area for any pur-
pose except immediate slaughter, and
also prohibit its shipment at all to
points in free area
If feeders and stockers were to be
sent out from the quarantined areas
there would always be the danger of
the disease spreading once more among
the farms, and the country being
thrown back in the condition that it
was in October.
To Prevent Reckless Buying.
The government also holds that cattle
purchased for slaughter and found to be
affected with foot and mouth disease
shall not be paid for, but may be con-
demned under the federal meat inspec-
ton law like any other diseased stock.
Purchasers of cattle for slaughter in
territory where there is reason to sus-
pect the existence Of the disease pur-
chase at their own risk, and there IS
no reason why the government should
insure them against the possibility of
loss.
For the government to do this would
be in fact TO put q premium upon the
reckless buying Of suspected animals
and make the task OF ultimately eradi-
eating the disease much harder. In
spectors have also been warned against
the possibility that stock Ostenstbly
intended for immediate slaughter might
be diverted for sale as feeders and
stockers. and they have been instructed
to see that all such stock is slaughtered
without delay.

they get their land on a paying basis
more attention is paid to stock raising.
which in time may help to cut down
the size Of the decrease in cattle pfo-
duction-
with high prices almost certain to
continue. the farmers in the corn belt
and other parts OF the United States
would do well to put forth every ef-
fort to increase cattle production.
They are certain to CLEAN worth
while profits. There is a limited move
ment in many sections to save calves
because supply. OF young. stock that can
be purchased is fast diminishing. but
this movement is not general enough.
Cost Of Production increases
Cost Of production has increased
greatly in recent years. and that alone
is an item to be reckoned with in con
sidsring meat prices. Corn and other
feeds have advanced. so that the pro-
Queer needs relatively high prices for
stock before profit is in sight
Practically the same reason for high
cattle. prices are given for high mutton
values, but the investigation showed
that the same laws operate to keep
pork at a reasonable price, and no
great advance is expected in pork
Two crops OF hogs can be raised a
year to one Of cattle or sheep, and that
alone viii have a tendency to keep the
pork cost down
. Present crop OF hogs is larger than
usual and for the time being farmers
are losing money on all pork they
are producing because corn is excep-
tiOnally high.
OF course, farmers viii curtail hog
production unless conditions change
and that viii bring about increased
prices which viii bring pork nearer
the level Of other meats.

CHEAP BEEF IS THING Of PAST,
BEEF SHORTAGE IS PERMANENT
Federal Investigating Committee Thinks IL Cent Round
Steaks 20 Cent Porterhouses and Is Cent Rib Roasts
Can Be Counted as Things That Were; Population
Increase and Foreign Demand Are Responsible.

GHICAGO. Ill, Feb. 27.-The days
Of cheap beef will never come
~ back in the United States, and the
day Of 12-cent round steaks, 2O-eent
porterhouse and 10 rib roasts IS over,
according to a federal investigating
committee, says the Chicago Drovers
Journal
Instead, beef prices are lower than
they viii ever be in the future. For
the first time the government VIII
recognize officially the American beef
shortage as a permanent institution.
Present high meat prices are due TO
the inevitable working out OF I'M
mutable economic laws, and which
continuing to work in the future, are
certain to cause even higher prices.
No one class Of men, such as the
packer or the farmer, is to blame Tor
prevailing conditions, and no precau-
lions of alleged trusts or education Of
farmers can avert the upward trend
Of meat values.
A year ago Secretary Houston ap-
pointed a commission Of eminent
farm economists to survey the agrtcul-
ture Of the United States, explain the
shortage OF cattle and suggest remedies
This commission has not made pub
lie its conclusions, but it is possible to
forecast that the beef shortage is per-
manent and may become worse.
Population Increase Cause.
Population in this country has in
creased so rapidly that the cattle pro-
duction cannot keep pace with it. An
other cause OF the high meat prices is
the increased COnsumptive demand OF
the people.
However, with industrial conditions
unsettled and many people unemployed,
the consumption at least for the time
being cannot improve.
This will have little influence on the
situation, as there are so many other
hut
continued high prices are in sight.
