Many interesting features were brought out. All of those connected with the program evidenced a sincere desire to gather and present data that would be of benefit in arriving at conclusions based upon economic facts, tending to give the great' rst jelief and most practical readjustment to the transportation situation as it relates to Western agriculture and the live stork industry. The movement of stock anil other products from the producing arcus to the metroNilitaii centers on the Pacific Coast, as wll as to Eastern markets, is a question which occupies a iqost iuiNirtant place in the economic structure of the West. California ha a different cattle situation than prevails in other territories. At this time production is more or less seasonal, with otersupplies appearing dunng the range months, and the importation of cattle from surrounding states g neeessary during other months of the year. With the advent of better balanced production and distribution this seasonal supply will lie leveled si' that it will move throughout the year, this being accomplished by the Western trend toward feed lot operations. lie-in- access to the largest number of markets. There apKur to be a lack of realization of the imiNirtanee of Stocker arid feeder rates to ami from central markets located in the West, it has been pointed nut that the bulk of this movement is from the producing sections directly to the feed lots. This, no doubt, is the case, but the fact should not be lost sight of that the small producer is not situuteil so as to pi directly to the range slat and make storker and feeder purchases. He is in the position of either through a central tnurket or out of the business. For this reason, for the sake of the small producer who is becoming such a factor through the cutting up of large laud areas, it would seem that a careful consideration should he given to the stockcr and feeder rate question a applying to central live stock market. Everyone seems convinced that the hearings arc being carried out along constructive and intelligent lines and that when all of the facts are collected and analyzed that the entire live stock producing West should heiefit. ONE GOOD DAIRY BULL KILLED EVERY EIGHT. MINUTES It is fortunate for the dairy industhat piod bulls are sent to the try butcher along with the medicorcf and scrirtis when their service is no longer needed ill the herd. A careful estimate, says I)r. J. C. McDowell of the federal bureau of dairy industry, shows that really high-cladairy bulls are piing to the hutrher at the rate of one every eight minutes from daylight to dark every day in the year. How to stop this great slaughter and keep these bulls for a lifetime service is one of the great problems in dairying today. A study of row testing association records shows whirh are good bulls and which the inferior ones. Hut, unfortunately, by the time these records urn available most of these bulls have Doctor McDowell been slaughtered. use to learn is little of it that says how good a bull waa after he is dead, no he is urging that mime system of exchange be started at once among d bulls in order owners of that such animals may be kept until the daughters have demonstrated their sires true value. ss well-bre- LIVE STOCK MEN FLAN TO ATTEND EPHRAIM MEETING Live stock men from various part of the state arc planning to attend the third biennial field day at the Great Hasin exjieriinent station near Ephraim on August 16th and 17th, it has been announced.

DEMAND IS GOOD FOR MUTTON AND ALSO WOOL The lamb crop of 1027 is indicated as a little smaller than that of 1026 by the lamb survey of the United States department of agriculture, according to the latest compilations detailed m the July sheep and wool outlook, issued last Saturday by George A. Scott, regional live stock statistician for Utah at Salt lake City. The number of native lambs is much larger this year than last, but the increase in natives was not enough to offset a decrease of 1,300,000 head in western lambs. In spite of an inrrease of more than 600,000 head in breeding ewes ia the western area over last year, a decrease in lambs marked ier hun lred ewes from 87.6 to 78.0 resulted in an 8 jier cent derrease in lambs.
