have been waiting for the end OF
the war to bring lower prices
have learned that they have waited
in vain. Instead of lowering
prices, livestock values have in
creased and the Likelihood for u con
tinuous high level in the future is
obvious, when the conditions That
regulate prices are taken into con
sideratiOn. True there is more
livestock in the country than
there was ten years ago as govern
ment reports show, but that is of
no Importance when you take into
consideration the great increase in
population within the last ten
years.
In 1910 the U. S. had popula-
tion of 80 million, while today we
have nearly 40 million an in
crease of 22%, while the increase
in livestock is less than 2% during
that same period. When the sup
plies of livestock fail to increase
as fast as the population, we be-
gin to create shortage, followed
by that natural price regulator
Supply and demand" which in
the present case means high pri-
ces. If the livestock supplies con-
tinue at the same ratio they have
during the last ten years meat con
ditions will be acute with the
next few years. We have been
compelled to ship millions of tons
of meat to the armies of the allies
and to civilians as we'll, and this
demand must be supplied for seve,
raj years until these countries can
support themselves.
Live stock presents the best
field for investment there is today.
A man with tract Of land can
take few good cows and wellbred
bull and within Il comparatively
few years become rich. The ne,
cessity for the raising of purebred
herds is imperative, for we must
do away with the scrub if we ever
hope to maintain our best de.
mands. The purebred herd is the
only solution.
| According to bank reports the
farmers Of the territory tributory
to Tabor and Yankton invested
over $3.50, 900 in mining and oil
stocks and stocks of various in.
dustries, which has not paid them
II dollar of returns. This amount
invested in breeding cows would
have paid back in one crop OF
calves at present prices about $50,
1000 or 20%. This amount in pure,
bred Hereford would have meant
an amount considerably over S1OC
1000. These are facts worthy OF
consideration of all progressive
Dakotans.
| Herefords are the kind to buy
If you want to produce the most
best quality beef at the lowest
costs for the Hereford will con.
vert grass and roughage into beel
better and quicker than an animal
of any other breed. They mature
the earliest and are the most pre-.
potent and prolific. They are
practically immune from tubercu,
losis. They are the hardest and
will live and endure exposure and
hardships where others Of lesser
constitutions will not survive.
For this reason alone the Here.
ford has conquered The range couu
try. Then again they are the
most popular and as press reports
show command the highest OF
prices.
This sale is Of more than ordina
ry importance th every Hereford
breeder of the Northwest from the
fact that its success or failure will
stimulate or retard the breed
