Show LIVESTOCK WILL BE III GREAT DEMAND The bejief that a lively demand for hogs, cattle and sheep, and particularly particu-larly for hogs, will continue, is expressed ex-pressed by livestock men and meat packers. That belief is substantiated by the reports from all parts of America Amer-ica and from Europe, the latter showing show-ing that there has been such a de-! de-! crease in the number of domestic j animals of all kinds that' the farms, ranches and ranges of the United States must be depended upon for more than a year to supply this deficiency. defi-ciency. Farmers of Europe will be unable to build up their herds and flocks dur-ing dur-ing the coming year to anywhere near normal conditions. Even with normal conditions. Europe was importing im-porting large, quantities of meat from America. This make it apparent that, as Europe will demand a greater great-er meat supply, the year 1919-20 will not see the Ume that meats are notl in great demand. Demand for meats means that there will be a splendid market for livestock, i With the end In view of assuring the greatest production of hogs, meat packers have agreed upon a plan for stabilizing of the price, this plan be-ins be-ins approved by the Tnited States Fowl Administration. The result is that the livestock men are assured continued high prices, while they are also assured lower cost of production, through the fact that, with food rules applying to grain entirely revoked, there will be more opportunity to feed and fatten hogs, cattfe and sheep. Premature marketing of hogs, brfng-tag brfng-tag a flood of business that could not be handled by packing houses; might endanger this plan of buying at a stabilized price, but it is the belief that the very fact of stability will assure as-sure the livestock raisers of the ln-tcrmointain ln-tcrmointain country that they ought to hold their stock until it is thoroughly thor-oughly fattened and thus gain the extra ex-tra profit coming from the feeding of their hogs. |
