IN CATTLE BUSINESS K,LLS WIDOW roR
REVENGE HE SAYS
BEST SINCE CLOSE OF WORLD WAR
FORT WORTH, Dei-. 27 (Al>) —
During 1928 conditions surround-
ing the cattle business were more
favorable than during any twelve-
month period since the World War.
Shortly after the ending of the war
all exports of meat products ceased.
Thore was a surplus of cattle due
to intensive production methods to
supply war demands. Prices dropped
to below production cost. Forced
liquidations followed for several
yearo, causing lieu* y marketing.
This continued until 1927. These
forced sales reduced the supply from
large surpluses to something near
domestic consumption demand. The
market reacted aud advanced until
it reached the peak in llie early fall
oi 19 28 and then receded.
Range conditions during 1928
were favorable Therefore, there
was no forced marketing on account
of drouth conditions. General bus-
iness and industrial conditions were
such that beef products dining a
large part of the year found an ac-
tive market. Therefore, producers
of cattle generally received remu-
nerative prices during 1928 and the
year can be considered a favorable
one for livestock producers. This,
however, does not indicate great
prosperity in the cattle industry.
Tho returns earned by producers
during 1928 were used to pay losses
incurred during several years im-
mediately following the war, to
crease equities in holdings and to
restore the industry to a more sta-
ble condition. The result ol' a fa-
vorable year has not filled the purse
of the cattle producer, but has sim-
ply enabled him to get his house in
order to successfully pursue the
business of producing an essential
portion of the nation's food supply.
The present market price of cat-
tle is considerably lower than at the
peak time in 19 28, and the present
price level is not high enough to
enable producers generally to earn
a justifiable return in a business
subject to the ravages of drouth and
other hazards. Those engaged in the
cattle business and in close touch
with it, knowing its uncertainties,
realize that some courage and more
wisdom than most of us possess is
required to predict what a year
holds in store for the industry. Re-
Frank Norton Players Thursday.
^duced cattle supplies in comparison
with former years does not indicate
u shortage, it is the result of dis-
posing of surpluses and reducing
supplies to the level of domestic con-
sumption on which depends the cat-
tle market, since there is no export!
demand. In view of heavy market- j
ing of young breeding animals dui-1
ing the past several years, it would
appear that supplies will not be in- |
creased to surplus proportions for |
several years.
Therefore, market "prices near the |
1928 aveage should be maintained!
for the year 1929. This result can j
reasonably be expected, provided
I there is no forced marketing due to
general drouth conditions over the'
range, or to a general feed crop fail- j
lire, and if the domestic market, |
which is the only outlet for beef ;
products, if; protected from foreign
competition.
