LIGHTER CATTLE
URGED BY DENMAN
Farm Beard Member Tells West

Result Methods.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MORqANTOWN. w. Va, August IA.
&C. B. Denman, member of the Federal
Farm Board, addressing the annual
farmers field day at West Virginia Uni
versity yesterday, urged Eastern live
stock farmers to produce lighter weight
beef cattle If they are to get the best
results from their feeding operations.
The national cooperative program
for marketing live stock being developed
under the agricultural marketing act,
centralized in the National Live Stock
Marketing Association with head
quarters in Chicago, also was discussed
by Mr.. Denman.
He advised the Eastern producers, as
well as those in other States to keep
themselves informed on the kinds of
meat cuts the housewife desires, and
adjust their production accordingly. He
said the market for heavy beef cattle
is disappearing
1T Is interesting to note that just
about as many pounds are being put on
the calf and yearling as il is possible to
get in a year or the heavy steer he
added. Il do not think it would take a
very wise man to realize that The calf
and yearling consume much less feed
DR.. Denman asserted much could be
added to the producers income If he
keeps an eye on the demand for smaller
beef.

main open until midnight, as usual,
the new order does away with the "a

He said the complaints stated Mexi-
can gambling casinos had been estab-

can authorities no gambling would be
permitted along the border
