liberal immigration laws brought a lot Of
industrious ranch hands to the United States
every year S. that disease outbreaks and
losses can be controlled almost in direct
proportion to the care and prevention given
to the livestock that feed can be con-
verified into beef most efficiently only when
it is balanced or blended into a complete
ration, either naturally or artificially
that the battle for the consumers food dol
lar will become Increasingly strong and beef
producers will have to continually find new
methods of meeting that competition from
other kinds of meats and poultry and from
other protein food sources, . that control
of production costs and income tax require
ments will require more efficient and ac-
curate bookkeeping systems that a
breeding animal will continue to be nothing
other than a tool or machine for the CON
version of a carbohydrate roughage to a
protein-rich food, and that constant care
must be exercised to insure that that ma
chine is the best design available under in
dividual conditions, and that it is always
kept in top producing condition.
Granting all or most of these observa-
tons, the future looks encouraging to those
growers who are able and willing to adj

Editorials
A Great and Growing Industry

WONTANA'S beef cattle industry has
III grown nightly in Importance to the
states economy and to the income Of the in
dividual growers during the past IS years.
Beef cattle totaled 1,039,O0O in Montana
on Jan. /, 1926, with valuation Of $28,587,-
600. On JAN /, 1851, beef cattle numbers
totaled 1,611,000 with worth of $288, 942,-
600. That's a SIS percent increase in numbers
and 910 percent increase in value.
This tremendous increase in valuation is
due to a number of factors Basic cattle
prices, as well as production costs, have adj
vanced very substantially during the past
IS years. But cattlemen could not have
taken full advantage of this rising market if
they had not improved the quality Of their
output.
It has been estimated that a quarter of
century ago not more than so percent of
Montana's commercial beef cattle graded
good or better. Today fully 80 percent are
Of sufficient quality to merit that high class
ification. Improved breeding, more efficient
range management, and intelligent use of
feed supplements have had much to do with
this fine accomplishment
Another very important factor is the
revolutionary change in marketing practices
and in market position. Twenty-Five years
ago Montana was at the end of the market
line. More than 80 percent of the states an

Good Breeding Pays

6tATTLE from. the ranches of Montana and
~ northern Wyoming have: earned an
enviable reputation for high quality. Buy
ers from the cornbelt and other parts Of the
country are willing to pay premium prices
for them because they have learned from
experience that they perform well in the
feedlots and develop into finished animals
Of the sort preferred by the consumer.
The average quality of beef cattle from
this area has improved greatly during the
past quarter of a century. The growers have
appreciated the Importance of continued use
of good registered bulls of the type needed
to develop the right kind of cattle in the
commercial herds. They have been fortunate
in having a dependable source of supply of
seed stock Of exceptional quality from the
registered herds of their own state.
Announcements of leading breeders Of
registered beef cattle are valuable feature
of this Special Beef Production Edition of
MONTANA MER-STOCKMAN.

nual cattle crop had to be shipped to dis
tant eastern yards for sale. Today the vari-
Gus district marketing yards throughout the
state, together with the expanding demand
from the west coast and the south, have
helped to put the cattlegrower in much
stronger market position.
Buyers come to Montana from all direc-
tons and bid against each other for the
annual calf and steer crop. Growers can
sell through the local markets, through COM
mission men at the central markets or to
contract buyers, as they choose. This differ
ence in market choice and position as com
pared with the earlier years means many
millions of dollars year to Montana pro-
ducers regardless of basic market levels.
There is room for still further improve
ment in quality, as well as in feeding and
marketing practice. Further progress can
be made in grass conservation and range
management. The west coast market as well
as the entire national market, will continue
to expand While cattle prices cannot be ex-
pected to remain permanently at present
levels, and while the inevitable ups and
downs will occur, there is every reason to
believe that the future will continue to of
fer promising opportunities for the alert,
industrious, progressive cattleman who
manages his ranch on sound basis.
