Show FARMERS TAKE NOTICE. Five years ago, one Montana range that served about 20 stockmen stock-men had almost that many kinds of beef stock; their calves were piebald, mongrel brutes that always brought the bottom prices where there were any calves to sell. Then the ranchers got together, bought several carloads of pedigreed Hereford bulls, and sold off or shot the other breeding stock. The result has been a 1 00-per-cent increase in the calf crop; a 1 00-per-cent increase in the finished steer price; and the ranchers need no laws to make them money. The plan of standardizing fruit, grain, livestock or poultry production produc-tion for any locality, is the road to financial salvation. |
