Changes Made In
Stockyard Act

The Packers and Stockyards AL.
ministration, by order of Secretary
of Agriculture Jardine, is abolished
effective July /, and from that
time the enforcement of the Pack.
crs and Stockyards Act of 1921 will
| be under the chief of the Bureau of
| Animal Industry.
| The amended general rules and
regulations for carrying out the pro-
visions of the act have been further
amended by substituting the words
Bureau of Animal Industry'' for
, the words "Packers and Stockyards
Administration. All employees of
the Packers and Stockyards Admin
istration are to be transferred June
80 to the bureau of animal industry.
This change III organization in
the department of agriculture fol-
lows the general plan of carrying on
the regulatory work III more Or
derby and logical manner and with
more efficiency and economy. Sew.
eral laws relating to the livestock
industry, including the Virus Serum
act, Tuberculosis Eradication Act,
Tick Eradication Law, Twenty
eight hour law, Animal Quarantine
Act, etc, are enforced by the Blu
reau of Animal Industry and in the
opinion of the Secretary much over
head expense can be saved by add
ing the Packers and Stockyard Act
to this related group. Furthermore,
the Bureau of Animal Industry
with approximately 1000 employees
scattered throughout the country is
in close contact with the livestock
industry at many points and has
numerous channels of information
which make possible prompt and in
telligent action. This bureau was
formed primarily to carry on en-
foreement work, the organic act
providing for 1.-The PRONUNCIATION
and enforcement of guarantees by
of communicable diseases of ami.
mails.
There has, of course, been coop
Grafton between the Packers and
stockyards Administration and the
Bureau of Animal Industry but it
was only voluntary. The reorgani-
zation makes the relationship OF the
enforcement of the Packers and
Stockyards Act to other livestock
work more stable. The entire in
dustry will have a single contact
point in the department of agricul-
ture.
This movement for better organ.
ization of regulatory work is iii
line with the action recently taken
by the Secretary of Agriculture in
placing the regulatory work carried
on by the bureau of chemistry in
the food, drug, and insecticide ad,
ministration, a new unit to take
form July l, and which also is to
include the regulatory work now
carried on by the lnsccticidc and
Fungicidc board.

Price of Beef
Cattle Highest
In Seven Years

1
Beef cattle this spring have sold
the highest for the season since
1920 when prices were on a high
level because of war initiation ac.
| cording to review of the spring
cattle market issued today by the
bureau of agricultural economies,
United States department of agri-
culture. All classes and grades of
cattle have participated in the ad-
vance, the general price increase
| over last year and the five year av-
eragc ranging from - to 81 per
cent.
The present comparatively high
price level for the better grades of
fed steers is unusual for this season
OF the year, says the bureau, and is
attributed partly to the fact that
receipts of all cattle at the princi-
pal Corn-Belt and eastern markets
were per cent smaller during the
first four months of this year than
curing the same period last year.
There was considerably larger de-
crease at some of the markets, par
ticularly those receiving high pro-
portion of fed cattle. The premium
for weight also has been a factor in
raising the average price for the
better grades of fed steers.
During each of the past five
years production for the first four
months exceeded that for the same
period year previous, but this
year proved to be an exception.
Beef produced from cattle slaugh-
tered under Federal inspection dur
ing the first four months of this
year was 3 per cent less than was
produced in the same period of
1926. Most of the decrease occur.
red in March and April The live
cost of these cattle to slaughtcrcrs
for the four months averaged $sOs'
against $40 in 1926, an advance
of per cent over last year, or II
per cent over the five year aver
age. The longtime trend in cattle
slaughter has been upward, cspc-
cially the number of head slaughter
ed under Federal inspection and the
quantity of beef which moves into
commercial channels.
Cons,umptive Demand Noted
The generally higher average
prices for slaughter cattle during
the past few years have been ac-
companied by increased total and
per capita consumption of beef, in,
dicating an increasing consumptive
demand for this product, With to-
tai beef cons caption increasing
with population, with consumers adj
justcd to the heavy beef consump-
ton of the last few years, and with
the present trend Of potential sup
plies downward, the outlook for the
industry appears very favorable.
The strong demand for stocker
cattle the past spring was reflected
in an increased movement of such
cattle out of southern areas. Dur
ing the first four months of this
year, cattle receipts at southern
markets increased 10000 head or
% per cent over the same period
last year Also the higher prices
for the lower grades of cattle has
increased the receipts of such cat
tie at the small Corn Belt markets.
The decrease, while small as to

Solomon Needed

PORTLAND, Gre, June 3O.-The
wisdom of that ancient king who
gained knowledge because he had
1000 wives was needed in marital
case which recently came up in cir.
cult court here.
Bert lloyt of Salem was divorced
some time ago and had to support
his eX-wife and two children, ac-
cording to the decree.
Remarked, Hoyt fathercd four
more children and due to the de.
mandS of his second family, became
delinquent in supporting family No.

Brought into court, Hoyt faced
Judge W. a. Ekwall who strovc to
solve the puzzle. All he could do
was to send Hoyt to Jail, and in
that event two families instead of
one, would 20 hungry, or become
dependent on charity.
Sentencing Hoyt to year in

total numbers, amounted to II per
cent.
The cattle industry for a number
of years has been passing through
4 period of overproduction which
has resulted in curtailment, liquida
ton, heavy market receipts and
consequently a high slaughter ratio
to numbers remaining on farms and
ranges. This has temporarily in
creased the tendency to market cat
tie at younger ages, resulting in a
more rapid turnover. With the
present trend away from the pro-
duction of aged grass steers our
beef supply depends more on the
feeder.
The higher price level for cattle
may possibly be accompanied by
some further culling and liquidation
Of range herds this fall, but we are
approaching the end of the period
Of ovcrmarketing and except for
forced marketings because of
drought conditions, the number of
cattle forced on the slaughter mar.
ket will be limited. Prices in west.
ern areas have increased more pro.

central markets. breeding animals
and growing stock are in "strong

Of range cattle for several wears
seem doubtful.
The total number of all cattle and
calves III the II western states has
declined about JIG per cent since
1920, and the total for the United
States has declined 10 1-2 per cent.
While it is impossible to make any
definite segregation between dairy
and beef cattle, beef cattle in the
west seems to have decreased fully
20 per cent during the past seven

Figures On Pig
Survey Issued

The report of the spring pig sur
vcy, issued by the bureau of agri-
cultural economies of the United
States department of agriculture,
was issued at II o clock noon, June
-, at Washington, D. G.
The survey, which is made with
the assistance of rural mail carriers
will make it possible to estimate
the probable number of hogs to be
marketed during the next six to
twelve months, and to measure to
considerable extent the effect
such numbers may have on prices,
so far as prices arc affected by
supply.
The Federal pig surveys have tai.
lied closel Y with actual conditions.
The 1922 report predicted an in
crease of 81 per cent in the pig
crop that year, and the actual in.
crease III the size Of the crop PROV
ed to be 81 IL percent. \ 1 per
cent increase in 1923 was indicat.
ed, and the actual increase turned
out 10 be / IL per cent. The 1924
survey indicated a decrease of 10
per cent, and the actual decrease
was IL per cent. The markctings
of the 1925 pig crop show that the
pig survey indications that year
were very close and marketings to
date of the 1926 crop support the
indications of the surveys last year.
