as the price of beef high?"
This question Is heard on all sides
today. The producer says, mo, con-
sdering The price l get for my cattle"
The consumer says, Yes" So there
you have it. But whatever the right
answer, the fact remains that prices
may go higher If there is not enough
beef TO supply the demand for juicy
steaks and rib roasts with brown
gravy.
On the other hand, prices may de-
cline if an over-supply is produced.
What is the present situation? We
have today less beef in sight than for
several years, according to reports to
the United States department of ag-
griculture, which is kept closely ad-
vised as to conditions on the ranges

factors which tend to limit produc-
ton. and impress upon us the i'm
portance of maintaining production and
producing beef as cheaply as possible.
Utilize Pastures to Utmost.
For an answer to this question. we
must look to Mother Earth. This is
springtime. the crops are planted. the
grass is growing, and the cattle are
on the green. This means. in its last
analysis. utilize pasture to the limit,
conserve roughages to the utmost, and
produce forages and feeding stuffs
which will make the most beef at least
cost
The bureau of animal industry of
the department of agriculture has for
several years been studying the prob
lem Of utilizing these feeds to best
advantage. In 1914 the department,
In cooperation with the West Nir-

Utilization Increases Land Value.
BY utilizing to the fullest extent
the land devoted to pasture the value
of the land is increased and greater
profit results. A system of careful
management makes it possible to use
higher-priced land, than has heretofore
been used for such. for profitable beef
production. The intelligent use Of
pastures gives a return which COM
pareS favorably with that from the
cropping system, but requires less la
Dor.
1t is not possible to state just how
many cattle should be allowed to the
acre for grazing purposes, because this
is determined largely by the quality
and stand of grass which is, Of course,
variable.
In conclusion, 1t may be said that
the beef producer in most sections who
will obtain the largest net returns Is
the man who will stock his pastures
so that the grass is kept fairly short.
