FEWER CATTLE IN THE WEST
And Most of Them Are Dairy Cattle
Says Legere
TAssOciated Press

Hill City, Nov. 2,-"The west Is
becoming less and less q cattle coun,
try. Late statistics show that there
are more cattle east Of the Missis-
sippi river than there are west, and
rs per cent of these are dairy cat
tle," said J. H. Legere, president OF
the local Farmers Union. Mr.. Legere
is one of the leading stockmen In
this part Of the state and owns Q
herd of more than 300 registered
Herefords.
"The slump in the cattle industry
in the former big cattle states, due
to unfavorable market prices and
heavy losses suffered by stockmen,
continues. Many Kansas stockmen
are going out Of the beef cattle bus
mess and are turning to dairy cattle.
This, I believe, is true in all parts OF
the United States"
