of the year. The per cent of market
ing for the three heaviest months, Sep
TENDER, October and November, is
down slightly-58.8 per cent for the
three months in the last 5-year average
as compared to 70.6 per cent for the
same months during the 1925-1931 aver
age.
The trend to marketing Montana cat
tie at times of the year other than the
fall is on, but there is still much more
room for further extension and level
ing of the marketing season.
What can the beef producer in Mon
tana do to control his marketings, gear
them to the higher levels of the yearly
price cycle?
Articles in this issue suggest several
things to do. Perhaps the most impor-
tant and practical measures are sug-
geSted in the article, Leasing Beef
for Profit" page 46. The rangeman
who usually must sell off his market
able stock in the fall regardless of price
has many other alternatives if he works
out cooperative program with farm
er who has forage, grain or irrigated
pasture.
Then there's the possibility, too, that
strictly range stock should be marketed
earlier than is usually the case, since
major and fastest gains are made
while grass is green. (See schedules
with story, "Grass Nutrition /.
and Cattle Gains" page 49).
These stories suggest just few OF
the possibilities.
And all possibilities should be con

Must Beef Always Be Sold

BUY LOW, sell high.

BUY LOW, sell high.
That's the age-old maxim for pros
pering in any business. 1t definitely
applies to the cattle business.
Or it should
But beef on the hoof is product that
must be sold when it is ready, and ma
lures seasons, not market levels, de-
termine when it is ready. When mar
kets are down, beef can't be held on a
shelf like hardware or in bin like
wheat, until prices are up again. Beef
must be sold, regardless.
Or must it?
Since the range cattle industry first
began in the west, cattle additionally,
have been shipped in the fall. Inev-
itably the law of supply and demand
has taken over and prices have dipped
as the fall shipments hit the market.
AS the charts accompanying this article
show, prices for commercial to good
grades of cattle begin to drop in the
early fall and reach their lowest lev
els in October But the schedule ac-
companying this article also shows that
marketings of Montana cattle reach
their highest level in October. Only
choice to prime grades, according to
the chart, go to top prices in the fall.
But Montana markets few cattle that
grade choice or prime.
In other words, too much of Mon
tana's beef is sold on a low market.
Can anything be done about it? Is il
just one of those things?.
There are some signs that things are
being done about it. Look at the SEIZED

sidered. AS long as even SO per cent
Of Montana cattle are sold when prices
are lowest it is obvious that the indus
try is far from realizing its potential
in cash returns. Poultry and hog pro-
ducers have already done much to gear
their marketings to price cycles. Beef
producers should study the possibilities
available to them.

Ike Can Still
Relax, But It's
Real Job Now
BY MARVIN L. ARRoWsMITn

DENVER R-President Eisen-
hover is having to work at relax
ing these days, which for him is
something new.
All during the last dozen years
through all the high tension of
World War II, the building of the
North Atlantic Treaty organization
and then the presidency, Eisen-
hower's knack of being able to
get away from it all" for a few
hours has amazed his friends.
They have told time and again
of how while on the golf course.
for example, he seemed to be able
to forget completely for IS holes
all the troubles of the day.
And those who watched him In
Colorado trout stream just two
weeks ago could almost see his
worries over world problems slip
away for the time being.
Such things as golf and fishing
and bridge and an hour with his
easel and oil paints still relax the
President, and he has been turn
ing to all of these hobbies since
ne arrived in Colorado for a work
and play vacation Aug. Il.
But his friends say that this
summer the chief executive is
finding it real job to take it easy
and put his cares temporarily out
of mind. They say he came out
here from Washington ''tied In a
knot" and that only now is he
beginning to let go a bit.
To help him relax, the President
and Mrs. Eisenhower have enter
tanned group of old friends at a
downtown hotel two evenings this
week.
They have been evenings of
reminiscing, OF light talk and of
! bridge playing after dinner. The
President repeatedly has enjoyed
them tremendously.
Tonight Gov. and Mrs. Dan
Thornton of Colorado will be hosts
to the President and the First Lady
and the same group of their friends
at a dinner party.
Most of the friends are from
out of town.
Among those here now are Cliff
Roberts, New York, board chair
man of the Augusta National Golf
Club in Georgia; William E. Rob
inson of New York; Freeman Cos
den, Amos of the radio Amos and
Andy team; John Jay (Jock)
Whitney, New York; T. r. Gar

SchoO of Springfield, Mass: ed
Dudley, golf pro at a club Ia near
by Colorado Springs and also at
the Augusta National Club; and
W. Alton Jones, board chairman Of
the cities service oil and gasoline
firm.
Jones, Whitney and Schoo are
accompanied by their wives, and
Mrs. Eisenhower has been spend
ing quite bit of time with the
ladies during the day as well as

Hotels were crowded all along
