Mr.. Fraser gives as one of the
great reasons for the recent slump

Because of the drought in Southern
California, thousands of cattle must
either be sold or die of starvation,
according to a statement issued to-
day by the Farm Bureau which re-
ceived an inquiry from the Federal
Live Stock Commission, which was
recently appointed by the United
States Food administration for Cali
fornia to investigate livestock condi-
tions in the state.
! The majority Of the owners of these
herds cannot afford to feed the cat
tie at the present highwater mark of
hay and other rough feed stuffs, and
they are not available to the slaught-
e. houses because of their semi-starv-
ed condition, the report stated.
! On the other hand a favorable fall
or the mastering of stock has pre-
vailed in Northern California, Ore
on ard Washington, and great sur
7 lus Of feed has developed in those
regions. ~ ! .
Today the commission began an ac-
tive campaign to bring together the
holders of surplus feeds and the own
ers of the drought-stricken cattle,
with the issuance of the following ap-
peal:
"In order that the starving
cattle of the south and the sur
plus feeds of the north may be
brought together to the mutual
advantage of both, the Federal
Livestock Commission urges cat
tlemen who desire either to buy
or sell cattle to communicate
their wants Immediately to the
secretary of the California Cat
tlemen's Association, 800 Sharon
+ Building, San Francisco, which
will act as clearing house free
of charge"
The commission believes that tre-
p mendous market is open in Northern
California, Oregon and Washington
! for these cattle which could be pur
chased, it was said at less than nor
NAL prices, and then fattened OF
cheap, surplus feeds of those terri
tories and resold at profit.
"These cattle should be kept
alive at all hazards in view of
the great need for beef and to
maintain the normal supply of
breeding stock, regardless of war
conditions" the Commissions
statement concluded.
Prof. Gordon H. True, chairman OF
the commission, said that the investi-
. cations thus far have failed to dis.
close any surplus of fat cattle in the
state, contrary to charges which hac
been made by certain beef interests

FEED SOFT CORN TO
HOGS SAYS MESSAGE

Thousands of immature hogs are
being marketed daily, according to
Thomas E. Wilson, a Chicago packer,
and at the same time the Middle West
has large crop of soft corn, which
is likewise being shipped to terminals.
Both the immature hog and soft corn
net farmers a loss, but if immature
hogs were kept on the farms and fed
soft corn they would furnish the most
profitable market for the latter and
develop into standard animals, bring
ing satisfactory market prices, with
profit to the farmer and an increase
