OREGON LIVESTOCK
PROSPECTS GOOD

There never has been time in the
history of the state when the farmers
have had such an opportunity to
make money by raising livestock for
meat purposes as at present. With
an aggregate shortage of over 3,00O,-
900 meat animals, approximately
500, 100000 pounds, in the leading
packing centers of the United States,
it is certain that for some years to
come there will not only be an un-
limited demand for meat animals,
but it is also certain that prices will
range high, and it is not impossible
that all previous decords may be
broken.
1t is fact that nearly all the big
cattle ranges of the state have been
broken up and that in only a few To-
cations is it possible to find pastur-
age for large herds, but it is also a
fact that the average farm could be
made to produce larger number of
animals than it is now doing. With
the big packers and bankers willing
and anxious to cooperate with re-
liable farmers in the state in stock
ing farms and ranches, it would ap-
pear that any farmer who fails to
take advantage of his opportunities
in this direction is making a big mis-
take. The population of the entire
northwest is increasing at a rapid
rate, the people must be supplied
with meat, and if Oregon ranches
cannot meet the demand it will GER
tainly be met by other states, large
amount of money will be sent away
and the meat industry of the state
damaged to just that extent.
