DEMAND FOR BEEF
 EXCEEDS SUPPLY
Raise More Beef CattIe-An Oppor- tunity That Should Not Be Missed.
By C. H. Denson, Specialist in Beef Cattle, Extension Division, Uni
 versity of Arkansas.

By c. H. Denson, Specialist in Beef
 Cattle, Extension Division, Uni
 versity of Arkansas
 It is said figures do not lie; if so. Arkansas people have an unusual op- portunity to do their patriotic duty and grow into money by raising cattle Because the demand for beef exceeds the supply and will continue to do so for years after the war, while the herds of Europe are being replaced, the prices for beef will remain high, and the natural conditions for raising cattle-a good climate and cheap graz ing lands-insure success to our farm CTS.
 Cold Storage Beef Decreases.
 Figures recently sent out by the United States Department of Agricul- ture show that beef in cold storage decreased approximately 120,000,000 pounds in six months. The beef on hand in cold storage included 137,0o0.- 900 pounds in the process of prepara- tion for shipment to our Allies and for army use. The balance, or approx imately 97,000,0O0 pounds, on hand at the time the figures were published, was sufficient to supply the nation only about three days. Meat ship ments abroad have increased from 15,O00.0G0 pounds a week, during pre- war times, to 75,0oO,o00 pounds week. The shipment overseas during one week recently amounted to 83,- 100000 pounds.
 These figures show that our beef exports have increased 500 per cent to 600 per cent over pre-war times. In addition to this, our soldiers now in training camps require large amount of beef. The world-shortage of meat is shown in the following ta- ble:
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1918-11-03

It is estimated that the European
 loss in cattle, hogs and sheep amounts
 to over 1Oo,o0o,000 head.
 In view of the great decrease in
 meat animals in Europe, accompanied
 by the necessary reduction of breed- ing animals in those countries, and the heavy shipments of beef from this
 country, the opportunities for cattle raising in the United States look very
 promising. The demand for beef for
 our army and our Allies far exceeds
 the supply. The demand for meat,
 and especially beef, will in all prob
 ability increase as long as the war
 lasts. Our soldiers and the armies of
 our Allies must have meat. They are
 depending largely on the farmers of
 this country to supply them with meat
 as we'll as other articles Of food. IL
 is, therefore, the obligation of every
 farmer of Arkansas to do his utmost
 in producing beef.
 Millions Acres Land Wasted. There are millions of acres of waste
 land in Arkansas that should be util' ized in grazing live stock. A large
 per cent of this waste land is better
 adapted to grazing beef cattle than
 any other class of live stock.
 Cattle Bringing setter Prices. Cattle of all classes are bringing
 better prices than was ever known in
 the history of the country. It seems now, from the best information at hand, that prices are likely to remain good for some time.
 Every farmer in the state should look towards the increase and inn provement of his herd. Beef COWS should be bred to good registered bulls -Shovthorn, Hereford, or Aberdeen Angus. A few farmers, having only few COWS each, should cooperate In buying a good registered bull of some beef breed. All scrub bulls should be castrated before they reach six months of age. Grade herds can be rapiuiy and constantly improved by the use Of registered bulls. Grade calves, pro duced by mating registered bulls with ordinary native cows, show many or the characteristics of their sires ana make quite satisfactory feeders, many of which are capable of being develop ed into good to choice beef steers. It is probably advisable for the av' craze farmer to grow into the i've
 stock business" rather than to go into if. A good way to begin is for she farmer to buy registered bull for his own use or comparatively with his neighbors. If this cannot be done some arrangement should be made Tor breeding his cows to some resistered bull in the community. In some cases lit would be advisable to buy few good native cows. Provision should be made for maintainin gthe herd in good condition during the winter.
 The good to choice heifers should be kept for breeding purposes and the Inferior heifers and steers sold TOT 1 beef.
 With intelligent care and attention lthe herd should make consistent i'm |provement and the farmers who sue lceed in improving their herds to considerable extent may then hope to lsucceed in breeding registered beef
 cattle.
