BEEF - Beef raising in lower
Delaware is proving to be a sound
part of farming" said Samuel NJ
Sloan of near Angola, weIl-kn0wn
| Sussex County cattleman, in an adj
dress before last weeks meeting
of the Lewes Rotary Club in the
Ocean House on Lewes Beach.
Mr.. Sloan gave as his reason
that there is no danger of over
production in the near future" Cit
ing the increase in beef users, he
said: with the estimated 1885,
100000 people in the United States
today and with a yearly increase
of 100000, by 1870 we can esti-
mate 190,000,0O0, and there is no
likely chance of over-supplying that
number of people with beef"
The cattleman went on to stress
"the value of pasture lands as the
/ most profitable acreage on a farm
I because these lush pastures are
contributing to luscious steaks from
beef cattle. Hereford animals dc
well in Delaware and have proved
/ to be even-tempered and produce
: the greatest gain in weight Ovel
other breeds"
