citation Directors to Meet

A meeting Of the executive board OF

! March (, 5 and 6, and 10 study the ex-
listing conditions Of the drouth-
/ stricken area in west Texas with the
purpose IN view Of rendering assist
ance when possible.
"One of the most serious results Of
the drOuth IS that Of the shipping OF
stock cattle, which should be kept in
order that the production be assured
for the next year said ". /. AmO-
net, secretary OF the Panhandle and
Southwestern StoCkmen's association.
In fact what the result viii be of
these shipments is uncertain The peo-
pie may have to so without beef next
year. A comparative table OF cattle
receipts at Kansas City. during Sep
TENDER, october and November. 1915, I
and 1917. from the state OF Texas,
shows that 30,2sS steers were shipped
this year lie IS than the number
shipped in 1915. This is because steers B
did not develop sufficiently TO be
ready for shipment
Cows were ship d in large num- Z
bers, 1852 being Slipped in excess Of I
those shipped in 1916, and Is. 936 .
calves more than during last years .
record Although the total number OF B
shipments during the three months
this year is only S160 more than last .
year, il is readily seen that the short
age in steers is the reason why the .
total IS not much higher. In fact, /
il is dangerously high. and the breed Z
ing problem next spring viii be 7
serious national problem"
h. C Yards Rebuilt.
The cattle pens at Kansas City .
are being rebuilt rapidly and many
improvements are being made in the
stock yards" said Mr. AmonetL AL .
though only few weeks have passed /
since the yards and cattle we're .
burned at Kansas City. the stock
yards company has so pushed the
building that everything is going on
in a normal manner at present"
