sponsors characterize as the most
important movement for farmers
ever inaugurated was launched
here today with the assembling of
the first national council of farm
ers' cooperative market associa-
tions. Delegates representing the
associations interested in every
major product, from cotton of the
south to California fruit came to
Washington to take part in the

The program included a COM
plete review Of the cooperative
marketing movement in America,
featuring the handling of cotton,
tobacco, fruit, grain, dairy pro-
duce and other farm products.
Other general topics of discussion
were cooperative financing and
rural credits legislation; common
problems of cooperative market
ing associations and how to
handle them; problems Of each
commodity group, and cooperative
education of the farmers and the
public.
The program arranged for today
was devoted largely to hearing ad-
dresses by Secretary Wallace, Sec
retary Hoover, DR.. Julius Klien,

Cattle in Southwest Dying in
Drought With No Way to
Move Them.

Texas and New Mexico Hoping
for Relief From Clouds
and I. c. c.
MEAT PRICES MAY SOAR

FORT WORTH, Tex, Oct. 1.-THE
housewife may be compelled to pay the
butcher 40 to so per cent. more for beef
in month or two. Reason? Drought
In the Southwest and no cars. The cat
t'emen cannot avert the drought, hut
they are trying strenuously to get cars.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
cannot order rain. but 1t can send cars.
though 1t hasn't so far.
There Is so little grass on the Texas
and New Mexico ranges that vast
herds OF stock are facing starvation
and the public Is facing higher prices.
The cattlemen cannot keep their stock
much longer In the Southwest, so must
either market their herds or send them
to greener pastures.
The loud wall from the Southwest
has been heard in Washington, but II
has not brought the cars. West Texas.
Panhandle and New Mexican ranchers
need 10000 cars at once. Most of this
great area has not had rain since last
June and without rain the grass cannot
grow and without grass the herds must
go hungry. and If the herds go hungry
and die--well. don't blame the butcher.
Five thousand stock cars to ship cat
tie to market and pasture In other
States Is the objective of a fight started
Amarillo to relieve stockmen there. Re-
lief must be obtained at once. Mr..
Jones told Secretary of Commerce
Hoover and the Interstate Commerce
Commission In kilograms. Should 5000
cars be sent on the sidings In the Pan
handle they would be loaded In a few
days, cattlemen told Mr.. Jones. His
telegram to Washington said:
There Is terrible stock car short
age In the Southwest. especially In the
Panhandle Of Texas. Estimated short
ages are Rock Island. $500 cars Santa
Fe. 1900; Fort Worth and Denver. 1000
cars. There is shortage Of grass there
Is little feed and little water. Cattle are
shrinking and dying. 1t is absolutely
necessary that cattle be moved. II cars
are not obtained at once untold loss will
occur.
Il urgently ask that the embargo be
lifted on stock cars for the Panhandle OF
Texas and the Southwest Cattlemen are
facing ruin in this section unless cars
are had al once. Railroads claim they
are not permitted to have cars on ac-
count of the embargo"
The shortage in freight equipment
will continue for some time to have an
effect on the movement of crops, accord
ing to Ed p. Byars, traffic manager OF
the freight bureau of the Chamber OF
Commerce.
The Cattle Raisers Association took
up the matter with its field inspectors
and the service bureau of the Interstate
Commerce Commission early In Septem-
ber and has Just received assurance from
]. G. Roth. director Of the bureau, that
the situation Is receiving the attention
of the commission.
The cattle ranges OF New Mexico are
Just as hard hit as those in Texas by the
long drought. The Department OF Agri-
culture a. Washington issued q state
ment affording little encouragement.
The New Mexicans were expecting to
pasture their cattle in Texas. but the
department says:
Slight hope is held out from this
The New York herald., 1922-10-22

source as the entire range section Of
Texas has been dry since last June and
the only surplus range is probably lim-
tied 10 small lots in a few scattered
counties. Hurry calls have also been
dispatched to State statisticans IN a
number OF other range States.
American interests with large lands
in Mexico are planning to run $4,000 to
100000 head of Texas cattle across the
border in bond during the next six
months and this may suggest a possible
solution of the difficulties OF New Mex
leo cattle raisers."
The Bureau Of Agricultural Econom-
les was also recently informed that the
Southwestern and Western Texas have
reduced freight rates 35 per cent TO
enable owners to move distressed cattle
from drought territory to pasture in un-
affected districts.
A representative Of the crop estimates
division OF the bureau recently reported
to tho department that cattle in New
Mexico are in an emaciated condition,
and that any attempt to move the stock
to either the Chicago market or to graz
ing lands or feed lots in the northern
or eastern sections or the corn belt
would be unsuccessful. Much of the
stock is too near starvation to stand
lcng shipment or the rigors OF the
Northern, Eastern or Midwestern win
ter.
