ATLANTA, Sept 25.-The av-
erage sale prices of breeds and
purebred beef cattle of both sexes
and all ages in 1922 ranged from
$83 to 1929, according to sur
vey made by the United States De-
partment OF Agriculture. Reports
were received from breededs in 81
states representing sales of 13,108
animals. Of the animals reported,
2,119 brought over $3.50 each.
Many inquiries sent by the de-
partment were returned with a
statement that no sales were made
in 1922, the department statement
reads. "Other returns indicated
that most of the bulls had been cas-
trated and sent to market for beef.
In some cases herds were being
culled closely and only the best
animals being kept, in the belief
that there will be a good demand
for purebred sires in the near fu-
ture.
"Of the breeds for which sales
ports were received, the following
numbers were reported; Aberdeen
Angus 14443; Herefords (horned)
1923, (polled) All, Red Polled 434;
Shorthorn 1921, and Polled and
Shorthorn 276. Average prices re-
ceived by breefs including all ages

although low prices are a great
disappointment to producers they
usually result in Kidding the in

 Buenos Aires, Nov. 3o.-The tendy ency of exchange makes it probable that the wheat importing nations of Europe will find it more advantageous to purchase their wheat in Argentina than in the United States or Canada, says report prepared for the Min istry of Agriculture by Leon Esta- brook. formerly of the American De- partment of Agriculture, who came here some months ago to reorganize the Argentine crop reporting system.
 MT. Estabrook points to various factors in the world wheat situation which he says should tend 10 help Argentina, and referring to the United States. says that on account of farm labor conditions, the relatively high cost of production. and the discontent of the farmer with prices, the area sown with winter wheat in that coun- try during the coming Autumn may be considerably reduced
 When the time arrives for har- yesting and selling the Argentine wheat crop at the beginning of 1924" the report adds. "a great part Of the 1928 crop of the Western nations Of Europe will have been consumed. and consequently they will be obliged to buy wheat Of the new Argentine and Australian crops which will tend even more 10 increase prices"
