twenty years ago.
 The key to this situation can be found right around Pine Bluff be- cause conditions here are very simi-
 lar to those throughout the entire
 nation
 Except those who rise hogs and
 cattle more or less exclusively, little effort is made to produce the maxi mum number of animals that the land or conditions would permit.
 On the cattle ranges there is the
 perennial complaint that the packers and 'mmission houses are to blame for not end douraging greater produc ton; that prices are rot what they should be considering the price the consumers pay for meat; that the profits from grains are greater thaa from producing beef cattle under the present machinery of distribution, and that the ranges are being con stantly cut up into farms.
 1ne truth IS that the DfoductlOl of cattle has Jagged far behind the increase ill population, or consump- tion. And if there were not some thing radically wrong in the busi ness this would not he the case.
 Cattle and hogs are sent to market from this section of Arkansas don- but it would seem that the is nothing as compared with the demand for beef. As it is, i'm Dortations are likely to be fea- ture of our economic life continual |y; and the meat that we import l could just as well be raised in our own country.
