CATTLE RAISERS EXPECT CHANGE IN CONDITIONS Recent Action of Bankers in Forcing Payments Will Aid Grazers. BAN FRANCISCO, Aug. *l.—The cr.ttlo Industry, despite the present demoralized condition, is baring a turn for the better. There Is a shortage of cattle in the surrounding States, but virtually a normal quantity is being shipped to market. This makes a constant draft on the number of brood rattle on the range. In many cass this movement is depleting, if not completely exhausting Individual herds. California Cattlemen's Association attributes this condition to the tart that banks are forcing the liquidation of debts. The result is expected to be seen In higher prices for all grades of cattle as soon as conditions reach normal. The State of Oregon will ship only about one-half the normal number of rattle this fall. The movement Is not likely to begin until late In the fall. Nevada cattlemen will be in a condition to hold their herds so that a decrease of shipments from that State is expected. Cattle in the southern part of California are bringing slightly better prices than those ia the north. The beef cattle industry of California represents an investment in land and stack cf SIOO.OO'J.OOO. Cattlemen of California last_ year received $50,377,100 for the cattle they brought to market. California normally consumes 90 per rent of the cattle produced within its boundaries. Only 10 per cent is exported to markets outside the State. In 1020 California slaughtered for Us own nse 45K3.1R7 cattle and 66,014 calves, making a total of 6*1.211. Normally between 55.000 and 40.909 head of cattle are shipped out of the State, representing surplus beyond the needs of local consumption. Pure-bred stock farms in the San Francisco Bay region include the Black Hawk ranch, the Mission San Jose farm. Senator B. F. Rush's ferm at Sulsun. the Hawkins nnd F.rcok Hollow farms at Hollister, the Caledonia farm at Sacramento, the Oiablo farm at Danville and the Ormondale ranch in Redwood City. The Agricultural College of the University of California has played a most constructive role In encouraging purebred cattle raising. During the last three years California has twice produced the International grand champion steer. —Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

GROWERS THINK RATES TOO HIGH Citrus Raisers of Florida Discuss Means to Ship by Water. JACKSONVILLE. Aug. Sl.—The exceedingly high rail rates, coupled with the absen-'e of any prospect for relief, are forcing Florida citrus growers, men *ln the Industry explain, to seek measures of relief, and a meeting of growers has been called for Sept. 1 at Tampa, where the possibilities of water transportation will be considered. Florida's citrus crop totals nearly 15,OCO.OdO boxes at this time, and the prospect Is that within flee years the crop will be more than 25.000.000 or 3:<.000.000 boxes in extent. The rail rate per box for shipment to the eastern markets Is now |1.20 per crate. Florida steamship men have been consulted with, regard to the idea of running citrus freight beats to New York, Boston and Philadelphia when the new season opens. It is pointed out that California growers recently shipped a cargo to New York on a vessel which, because of engine trouble, requited twenty-nine days to make the trip. The oranges were found to be in excellent eondit'on. while the lemons showed a decay of only 6 per cent. By shipping from Tampa, Fla., would only be 2.fGO miles from the b ! g eastern market. The run could be made by boats, steamship men estimate, at a cost of not exceeding 50 cent-; a box, involving a saving of about 75 cents a box over rail shipments. South Florida, where the citrus fruit is most extensively grown, boasts an excellent system of highways, which might be used in transporting the fruit to teaboard by trucks.—Copyright, 1921. by the Public Ledger Cos.

RELIEF TO HAVE BOOTH AT FAIR Agricultural Committee to Make Appeal. "Meet Me at the Fair” Is the slogan of Mrs. E. C. Bumpier, president of the Indiana I>deration of Clubs, in a letter being sent this week to club women of the State, more especially to those groups es women who are associated with agricultural interests. Mrs. Kumpler is asking women to visit the headquarters of Near F-ast Relief to be erected near the coliseum. Here the agricultural committee of Near East Relief, headed by Prof. G. I. Christie, hopes to enlist the Interest of agriculturists In the grain appeal for the people cf the stricken Bible lands. Indiana farmers are asked to donate twenty cars of corn and thirty-seven car’rads of wheat to b ground Into food stuff and shipped to Arnfenia and the Russia. At the headquarters of Near East Relief a copy of a cablegram from Constantinople was receiv?d a few days ago. It was addressed to national headquarters and was Irom .Taquith, one of the relief heads of Armenia. It gaid: “Your cable reporting reduced contributions received. Wbat shall we cut? Shall we turn out children from orphanages? Shall we close hospitals? Shall we atop feeding refugees? Give ns orders. We are afraid to assume the moral responsibility such set involves.” “Th"re is the whole story,” said Secretary Mead A. Kelsey of the relief organization. “That is why the farmers of America are asked to donate 5.000.000 bushels of grain.

The recent decline in wheat brought out increased European parchases of the gratu."

‘PIRATE’ PARTS SOLD FOR CARS Automobile Association Fights Use of Inferior Goods on Machines. Service abrses through the substitution ’ of so-called “Pirate" parts for the genuine in replacement, to the detriment of the car owner and the maker, are reported by automobile manufacturers generally to be having a serious effect on their efforts to gtve motorists proper care. A concerted effort by the automobile makers, through the National Automobile (Jhamber of Commerce Is being made to minimize the difficulty. “Pirate” parts, it is declared, are very unlikely to be as good as the genuine, for the obvious reason that to undersell the makers' replacement parts they must be made more cheaply, hence of inferior material or workmanship. In making a replacement the labor cost is generally the principal item; therefore, if the new part does not stand up and the operation must bo repeated, the car owner Is the loser. “Car manufacturers," says Arthar B. Cumner, chairman of the service committee of the N. A. T>. A. “have developed parts that they believe best for their cars. ’ T aving their reputation tu maintain they are naturally insistent on careful inspection ft these parts before they are allowed to go into the car.” HAVE A HT-ARTTImR.

PEOPLE DEMAND VALUE IN CARS Do Not Buy on Past Reputation. That the public is buying automobiles on their visible value today rather than on their reputation yesterday, is the opinion of K. R. Jacoby, vice president in charge o? sales of the Briscoe Motor Corporation. Mr. Jacoby has just returned to the Briscoe factory after an extended swing around the country, during which he touched every State from the Great Lakes to the Canadian border and down to the Gulf of Mexico. According to his observations, Mr. Jacoby states the story is the same everywhere; the car buyer is after value. The man who is now in the market for a car, is a pretty careful analyst; be no longer aeceptf everything told him as the gospel truth. He accepts some, rejects much, trying t< strike an average of comparison and upor that basis forms his opinion of the vart ous makes of cars, according to Mr. Jacoby. Melvin Agency Now Sells Westcott Car The Melvin Company, 1114 North Meridian street, has been appointed distributors for Westcott, ‘,‘The Car With a Longer Life,” in Indiana. The first cars for the company, which will be shipped from the factory of the ; Westcott Motor Car Company, Springfield, 111., within a few days, will reach Indianapolis in time for exhibition at the Indiana State fair. A complete line of the Westcott cars will be on display.
