Higher prices for beef have brought frequent buyers to Eureka county, where Battle raising Is still a considerable although in recent seasons maay have turned their lands over to sheep. Added to the low prices for beef that have prevailed for some seasons, large bands of sheep have made conditions hard for' cattle and kept the range cropped close In the Good dry seasons of 192 srvd 1K27. beef prices and scarcity of hay have 'combined to effect heavy sales of cat tle this fall.

Practically all certified seed Is In Twin Falls eounty, where certification work was started last year. At least three other counties, however, are preparing their fields so that they may apply for certification In 1928. Jerome, Minidoka and Latah county farmers are cleaning up their seed lots, preparatory to starting next year. To be eligible for certification beans must be entirely free of anthraonoso and bacterial blight, and must have less than 2 per cent mosaic on final Inspection and less than 5 per cent Since any time during the season. the first two diseases have been found in In rare Instances only Idaho, attention Is centered on eradication of the mosaic disease. Ninety-tw- o acres out of the more than 350 Inspected were turned down as a result of the field Inspections. In some doubtful rases, fields were reported "not recommended" rather than rejected, chiefly because of poor location for bean production, and further testa may be made on the seed. The adoption of certification requirements Is causing a decided change In sections within Twin Falls county. Many beans were grown last year In the Twin Falls and Artesian sections. This year much of h this acreage has shifted to the and Haaelton areas, which are more favorably situated. Idaho Is, so far as Is known, the only state to supplement field Inspection with greenhouse tests. To take double precautions that the certified seed Is clean and to ascertain Just how effective the final rogulng has been, two tests will be made during the winter.

UNIVERSITY Or IDAHO, MOSCOW, Idaho, Oct JO. Four student Judging teams were in Portland over Special Western Are Producers Optimistic of Prevailing Situation in Industry Special te The Tribsne. ANGELES, Oct. JO. It Is doebtful If there ever has been a more optimistic feeling In the cattle situation generally than prevails at this time. An actual shortage of cattle ts claimed by some In the trade-ot-hers are of the opinion that, as a matter of fact, there are not enough cattle In the country to prove burdensome, yet there may be nothing about the situation to warrant extremely high prices or talk of anything that an be beef extreme termed might shortage. During the war period, when, both for patriotic reasons and under Influence of high prices, an oversupply was created, the crash which followed as a result of a lower market ruined many good cattlemen and soma "In and outers." Since that time and up until the past year or so deflation was in progress. Until 19M, most of the liquidation of cattle was forced because of financial pressure and because of- - lack of sufficient feed. Personally, It seems to gme that In ISJI and early In U'27 the movement of cattle to market had much the ap or andesirable pearance or a clean-u- p cattle. The result, at least, is that at the present time western ranges are pretty well cleaned up of old. worn-obreeding stock and aged steers. The ranges are carrying barely to produce enough enough cattle young stock to move readily at the markets, and the ranges are reseed- Ing and better feed conditions are developing, aided by good rains. Western Cattle Situation At this Time Is Ideal. Right at this time the cattle sit uation, as far as the western producer is concerned, ts almost Ideal. There Is a ready market for everything that can be produced above actual re placement needs, perhaps not at high prices, but certainly at satlsfactorv snd profitable prices. n September reeelpts at the puhlle livestock markets in the United States, as shown by the de. partment agriculture, are 17 per cent fewer than for the average. Likewise, the slaughter of cattle at those points is If per cent smaller than a year ago and 10 per cent smaller than for the average. Stocker and feeder movements to the country show a decline of tl per cent from a year ago and a II per cent decrease from the average. Despite these figures for the ooiin- try as a whole, it .Is Interesting to note that the slaughter of cattle at Los Angeles, the principal packing center of the Paclflo coast, are larger man a year previous. ror the first nine months of 1927, the Los Angeles slaughter of cattle totaled 228,855 cattle, as compared with 222.10 cat tle during the corresponding period of LOS ut sixty-seve- five-ye- five-ye- five-ye- ar 1326. Consumer Demand on Coast Increasing' From these contrasting figures, the principal lesson which might be gathered Is that the consumer demand on the Pacific coast Is steadily Increasing. In the face of admittedly smaller cattle population In the country as a whole, the cattle population In California falls to show a proportionate decrease, a slight Increase being noted, as a matter of fact Thus It may be gathered that supply and demand have had a great deal to do with regulating the cattle population. There has been no pressing need of cutting 4own catths supplies in California, because the hnman population has increased more rapidly than the cattle population. But the cattle population Is now well balanced in ratio te the market requirements in most sections of the country. The best minds In the trade see no reason for any rapid expansion of the cattle eupply, but rather feel that the natural output of beef breedherds will ing provide alt necessary and at satisfactory requirements profju to industry. the week-en- d representing the university In the annual contests held In connection with the Paclflo International Livestock show.

Improvement In the location of the stockyards will be made here within the next ten days, when the present yards will be moved West and north of the present location. It has been the ambition of the town board for some time to get the stockyards away from the highway, as It will be a big improvement to the town. The change will put the yards on a different spur of the Oregon Short Line, which will be parallel to the main line and will make It easier for the proposed removal of the spur through the town. After the Improvements art made the yards will be the best In the division. Layton is one of the most important cattle shipping points In the state. Approximately iOOO head, of rattle will be fed and shipped from here this year, making an investment of J300,000. The cattle will be shipped to eastern and western points as soon as they are fattened. The heavy market will be en the coast with the heaviest cattle going east now at good prices. More lambs are being fed tier this season than usual. One outfit alone Is feeding 10.000. with others being fed In smaller bunches. The lambs will be shipped to Loe Angeles as soon as they are fattened. 5v See it in any of our stores GENERAL ELECTRIC See This Seed Grower Purchase New Gravity Machine GENERAL Spseiil te The Trlbsne.
