RAISE BETTER sToCK

With the da-ictiun Of range fac.
ilities through development of lans
for agricultural pursuits, the Paci-
fic Northwest is facing the problem
Of meat production in the same de-
gree that affected the Middle West
fifty years ago. The Mississippi val
ley states made early progress IN
the solution Of meat production with
out curtailment of agriculture by the
introduction of science in stock breed
ing. The big, squasely-built steer
took the place Of the small range
critter and he grew to profitable ma
turity in the small meadow and the
barn lot. In small numbers he is
found on nearly every farm OF the
Central states, and in the aggregate
his numbers and weight total more
in the yards Of the Swifts, the Ar,
mours, the Cudahys and other pack
ing concerns than do the yearly con-
signments of range cattle combined.
The Iowa farmer for instance, finds
1t but small chore to have yearly
surplus Of dozen head Of big, fat
three year olds ready for market
And when he sells he generally gets
the top price, for his stock being well
bred, is prime, meaty and saleable..
In comparison, the Northwest anc
Oregon in particular, is in its infancy
in the solution Of meat production, as
was demonstrated at the recent stock
show in Portland. HowevcF, this new
enterprise displayed solid nucleus
what may be evolved later on, re-
sulting in recognition Of the merits
Of thoroughbred stock and careful
breeding, over present slip-shod meth
ods.
With its splendid 100000 plant,
the cost Of which was borne by pop
ular subscription throughout the state
the yearly event Of the live stock
show will be the leading factor ir
building up the live stock industry
by virtue of stimulating the organiz-
alton Of minor shows and stock as
sociations in which pure bred stock
locally owned, may be entered in COM
petition.
These minor stock shows in time
will not only stimulate interest In
the annual show at Portland, but will
be basic incentive for bringing buy
er and breeder together, with the re-
suit that every hord, large or small,
will have thoroughbred males at its
head. Then will the real uplift Of the
livestock industry begin.
Worthy Of note in this connection
is the fact that at the Portland show
Union county exhibitors took NUM-
ber Of prizes wsile Umatilla county
with twice the numbers Of live stock
within her borders, took one second
prize. The reason for this lies prin- |
cipally in different methods pursued
by the stockraisers of the two coun-
ties. While the stockmen Of Union
county have been strengthening their
herds by importations Of pure bred
stock and giving careful attantion to
scientific breeding, and fostering in |
terest bygmantaining annually well
patronixed stock show those of Una
tilla county have been content to ride
in q Roundup saddle and head their
respective herds with males that will
merely pass muster in state law re-
quirements. !
