the high coats of production and the relatively low price of cattle many cowmen have become somewhat discouraged over the future of the Industry Within the month or two a number of cattlemen have seriously discussed with me the possibility of going out of tho business writes Hagen secretary of the California Cattlemen's elation It is these confidential talks that confidential talks make it seem worth while to put in writing -some facte which seem to Indicate that better times are ahead for the cattlemen It seems to be a rule that conditions look most discouraging just before they begin to Improve A study of the economic conditions influencing the cattle business seems to Indicate that we are at the bottom of the depression and that the next seven or eight yean Should bo an upward climb In advancing prices of cattle and more especially in the profits from the cattle business We have been saying for some time that cattle have hit the bottom as a result of the financial pressure of 1920 and 1921 and that the actual price of cattle will not go to lower levels We still believe that this is true We believe that the shortage of cattle will keep up the pries of breeding stock and that there Is a sufficient short- age of actual beef stock so that with tho mea councils that have been or- ganlsed at centers of population Increasing the demand for meat and with the National Livestock and Meat board collecting funds for the national advertising of meet we will very shortly experience a real shortage of beef cattle compared with the stimulated demand A study of cattle prices for the last seventy-five yean shows that beef prices were high in 1871 1885 1900 and 1910 Beef prices were low in 1877 1886 and 1909 It will be noted that there seems to be a regular fluetatlon In periods of fifteen years This being the case cattle should again be at a relatively high price In 1080 and conditions should steadily Improve- between the present and that date We need not depend entirely how' ever upon any law of chance or law of average but there ere plenty of facts which substantiate their belief and which make It appear reasonable and logical Costs of production are being re-dued the costs of marketing are be Knei sevei tiaes ia Ike daij FOR BALE Shell aenrloe station and oft drink stand at Cottonwood boat location between Bedding and Red Bluff: located on

highway from Halfork Into thia city the stage that haa operated between this city and the Humboldt county capital will go to Redding Thia statement Is authoritative coming as it does from one of the men interested in the stage line and Should have much weight in getting the civic organizations of this section busy at once The stage man says that Shasta county Is doing all It can to get the road from Redding into the Hayfork country in fine shape and that by using that road tbe stage line could save 22 miles and not be under so much expense to maintain their machine Some effort haa been expended In getting the road from here into the Hayfork country In aa good shape as possible but the Bhaata people are apparently going still farther and getting all ready to handle the trade from Eureka and surrounding country which will come their way through the stage line entering Redding If the line Is taken from this city it will mean much loss of business as the Hayfork people are now doing considerable trading with local merchants that will go to Redding by reason of there being a way toget the goods in promptly Thia means considerable during the season tha stage runs some business however being carried via parcels' post In all probability some action will be taken at once or before fall so that the road between here and the Hayfork section Is put In better con dltlon The stage Una will probably not start running to Redding until spring at thf earliest FARM PRODUCTS SHOW BUYING POWER LOSS WASHINGTON July The purchasing power or exchange value of farm products
