In the face of this substantial reduction re-duction In ttock the Talue of these animals la shown as- 1396,233,000.00, being - nearly 20 -million dollars greater than 1926 and 65 million dollars greater than 1925. The Federal inspection figures ahow 10,180,146 beet cattle slaughter, ed ta l92S-op an increase of nearly a quarter-million over 1925 and one-half one-half million over 1324.- These flgnres are rather remarkable remark-able when it is considered that with . substantially,- fewer, cattle on - the farms and ranges the monetary lvalue la greater and stilt ' further with, the fewer animals the number of beef cattle utilised by packers hows -en Increase. ' Of course, the increased value may be attributed to some extent to the strong position of cattle prices all along the line. SUU the figures indicate indi-cate that more cattle were marketed from a smaller number on the ranges -and this was not only true In comparing com-paring January 1, 1927 and January 1, 1926 but the same conditio! prevails In making a comparison with Januaay -IHMfc- - Doubtless the increased marketing represents in a degree the cleaning up of the range and getting rid of aged animals in keeping with the tendency toward earlier maturity and better breeding- - 8teers -many" times have been carried for three, four and even Ave years.

Better breeding plays hw jippoit ant part in this early maturity and quicker turnover. The cleaning up process Is evidenced at the markets bologna bulls. Scrub nulls are being fattened and Drought to market to be replaced by better types. Prices for good Jherd bulls have, strengthened, up matealiy The disposition on the part of the producer is to recognise quality and pay a higher price for the right type, evidencing the value of the better breeding program which is showing splendid progress. The possibilities in this connection can be appreciated when it Is considered con-sidered that jn the past few weeks beef bulls have been selling froti 16.00 to $7.00 per cwt At these prices a weighty bull will' bring enough if sold for beet to apply sub. stantially on the purchase, price of a well bred range bull. Therefore, isn't this the time to get rid of the scrubs and jthOnpructlyanlma!s and purchase well bred bulls of the right type to take their place? Another feature worthy oi consideration con-sideration in the .Western cattle situ ation IS the trend In all sections, where such an activity Is practical toward to-ward carrying -on feed operations in maturing beef cattle for market In days past, of course, the West has produced the feeder cattle largely and the Corn Belt has taken the animals for finish feeding. The carrying on of feed operations also may account tor tli Increased valuation of cattle on hand In the Western states. 10 March -American fork citizen 2 wmuianm s Safety - - Security To know your fuinds are secure . . . to have confidence in the-strength of your Bank and the integrity of your Banker . . . is what counts most in selecting a repository for your money 1 - f ; This Bank offers you Security beyond question!"
