Show nSLrvestoclcl giARWGHroN : r Los Antreles, California, August 1937 Relatively hih prices for beef cattle and hogs naturally are causing a great deal of elation anions livestock growers. Both cattle and hos; prices are now at the bet levels since -the late 20's. The relatively high prices are the result of the working of the laws of supply and demand as expressed on the central markets. Livestock growers would do well to consider that reports of the the higher livestock live-stock prices emanate from the central markets where values are e.-tablished. If it were not for these central markets a gTeat many growers would have no means of knowing the true value of their live.-tock, for in fact there would be no means of establishing proper values. There are some in the livestock busir..-s and many in the meat tradi-- who will consider present livestock alue.i out of line and there i .-ome complaint that meat prices are advancing more rapidly than consumer bu ing power. However, How-ever, no matter what anyone thinks about it, there is nothing that car, be done to alter the laws of -ii;. !;, ai.d demand. This is particularly par-ticularly true as long as prices are c.-t.-ibli.-hed under the system of open, competitive bidding that rule--, at the various major stock yard-. Complaint of high prices at th,.- time must be taken with a yrain of .-alt, for it was only a matter of three or four jecars ago that growers were forced to sell their livestock at prices that pre-c!u pre-c!u ! 1 !; opportunity of profit, riven then, "rovers were able thr"ii h the central markets to realize the be-t cash prices possible pos-sible an I were always able to sell their oil put o.i a strictly cash basis. Ilviy indication points to a continued con-tinued strong demand for fat cattle cat-tle and fat hos ami most observers observ-ers of tin' trade look for very satisfactory prices to the producer for the time to come. There has been an acute scarcity of strictly fat cattle on all markets during most of the summer. This condition condi-tion prob:'bly will be somewhat relieved re-lieved within a short time. Reports Re-ports from the intermountain country and the northwest indicate indi-cate that as a result of excellent f( cd con, li; ions there will be a lari er supply of grass fat stock, which .-hould meet f;ood demand on the market. The jinibaiiilil ies are that this fat Mock v. ill meet a two way demand, de-mand, bolli on the Pacific coast and in the niiddlewest. The point Is that packers and cattle feeders will both lie looking for supplies. Feeder; are particularly anxious to buy fat stork which will be suit-aide suit-aide for pimi ara'.ively short period in the feed lop., so that they can eet the ci't.. ,n il,,. market com-parat com-parat ivi !y -nrm. The intermountain intermoun-tain lira s rattle me expected to hefiti ari ii ing oa the market in I'oodly nun !.it within the next two or three weeks, and the re-ceipu re-ceipu f oiii that ' ource are expect-id expect-id I" continue through October and November. I w CHRISTIAN SCIENCE "Soul" is the subject of the lesson-sermon to be read by the Christian Science society in Milford Mil-ford Sunday, August 15. Among the Scriptural citations is the following: "One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple" (Psalms 27:4). Correlative to the citta'.lor. are the following from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Scrip-tures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Immortal "Im-mortal men and women are models of spiritual sense, drawn by perfect per-fect Mind and reflecting those hicher conceptions of loveliness which transcend all material sense. The embellishments of the person are poor substitutes for the charms of beinir. shining resplendent and eternal over acre and decay (p. 217). Man, governed by immortal Mind, is always beautiful and irrand" (p. 2lf,).' |
