FINISH OFF FEEDERS EARLY
No Class of Cattle Yet Produced More
Suitable for Market Demands
Than Baby Beef.

Feeders show an increasing ten4
dency toward finishing Off their beef
cattle at younger ages In general this
tendency is created by two causes:
First, consumers are demanding small,
high-quality cuts of meat; second. the
cost Of producing beef, due to advance
in land values. feeds. labor and taxes,
has increased to such an extent that
feeders and breeders can seldom hold
their cattle to advanced ages at
profit. General conditions In the pnst
few years have indicated that no class
of beef yet produced more nearly full
fills the requirements Of both pro-

Demoralization.

have been caught in a falling market
with orders for goods at high prices
was condemned by Gov. Coolidge. Vice
President elect. in letter to the Bos-
'cH, Boot and Shoe Club. made public
today.
1t is not always possible for men
to meet obligations" the governor
wrote. mo one can complain of that,
hIt there seems TO be a great ten
dency to avoid obligations that could
be met. with a result which is de-
moralizing to everybody.
This Is especially true in the mat
ter of the cancellation of orders II
one person is allowed to cancel, IL
means that every one must have the
same advantage. which throws the
entire trade into confusion and re-
suits in a great deal of loss none of
which would happen. probab bly,. i
such cancellations were not allowed :
The club adopted resolutions in
support of the inviolability of con-
tracts and commencing the firms
