ARRANGING FOR
THE STOCKMEN'S
NEXT MEETING
EXECUTIVE BOARD HOLDS
MEETING IN swEETWATER
TO PLAN FOR ROSWELL
CONVENTION WHICH WILL
BE HELD NEXT MARCH

A meeting of the executive board
of the Panhandle and Southwestern
Stockmen's association will be held
at Sweetwater, Tex, Tuesday, Jan.
Is, 1918. This meeting is primarily
to make final arrangements for the
holding of the annaul convention of
the association at Roswell N. NJ,
March 4. and 6, and to study the
existing conditions of the drouth-
stricken area in west Texas with
the purpose in view of rendering as
sstance when possible.
Result Still Uncertain
"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 as
sured for the next year." said w.
L. Amonet, secretary of the Pan
handle and Southwestern Stockmen's
association. an fact, what the re-
suit will be of these shipments is
uncertain. The people may have to
go without beef next year. A conf
parative table Of cattle receipts at
Kansas City, during September,
Ocober and November. 1916, and
1917, from the state of Texas, shows
that 30,288 steers were shipped this
year less than the number shipped
in 1916. This is because steers did
not develop sufficiently to be ready
for shipment.
Shipping Too Many Cars
Cows were shipped in large num-
bers, 1852 being shipped in excess
of those shipped in 1916, and 1896
calves more than during the years
record. Although the total number
of shipments during the three months
this year is only 8l60 more than
last year it is readily seen that the
shortage in steers is the reason why
the total is not much higher. In
fact, it is dangerously high, and the
breeding problem next spring will be
a serious national problem"
Rebuilding X. c. Pens
"The cattle pens at Kansas City
are being rebuilt rapidly and many
are being made in the
stock yards" said Mr.. Amonet. "Al-
though only few weeks have pas
sed since the yards and cattle were
burned at Kansas City, the stock
yards company has so pushed the
that everything is going on
in normal manner at present"
