Farmers Advised to Study Market Re
ports In and Out of Season to
Keep Posted.
(Prepared by ttie U. S. Department of
Agriculture.)
llow ran the farmer anti stock rais-
ier turn the live stork reports of the
bureau of markets, United States L><*- j
partment of Agriculture, into dollars
is frequently asked.
The answer Is for the farmer to get
so much information out of the re- |
ports that he can conduct his breed- j
ing, feeding and marketing operations
a little more intelligently in the fu
ture, and therefore more protitably
than In the past.
Market reports are history, and the
jClbef value of history is the basis
Which it provides on which to fore
cast the future. In other words, what
has happened in the past will prob
ably occur again under the same or
similar circumstances.
Small benefit is generally derived
from reading a single market report,
or one covering a short period of time.
Markets move in cycles, and the man
who would keep informed must follow
them diligently in season and out.
Tills is a matter of particular impor
tance to the stockman, because his
business is, to an unusual degree, a
long-time speculation, lie must pre
pare now and lay his plans today in
dight of what he thinks the market
will he anywhere from six months to
two years hence. Hut hmv will the
department's reports assist him in
doing this?
First of nil, he should take into ae-
icount potential supplies of the par-
iticular class of live stock in which he
is interested. Assume that cattle Is
(Ids line. The monthly report, Stock
at Stockyards, gives tlie number of
.cattle and calves marketed from |
• month to month through 68 central |
,markets. If such movements are un- i
lusually heavy for any considerable |
time, it may indicate a cattle short
age during the next year or two, and j
a shortage of any commodity usually
means higher prices.
This same report also shows the
number of cattle and calves that went I
back to tlie country as stoekers and I
feeders. If such movements were ex
ceptionally light, it would help to con- J
firm the belief that a comparative
'.shortage in cattle was impending. On
the other band, heavy stocker and
feeder shipments would go a long way
toward neutralizing the importance of

now give market reports more careful
and persistent attention than before.
It is quite Important that he know
what kind of cattle are in lies; de
mand on the principal markets. If
there is a steady inquiry for heavy
finished cattle, and that kind are sell
ing at a premium over lighter weights,
it will probably pay him to “feed Ids
cattle out," unless the cost of feed
Is exceptionally high.
If, however, consumptive demand
seems to he drifting steadily toward
lighter retail cuts of meat, or, because
of general business depression or some
other cause, is centering chiefly on
tin* lower and cheaper grade*, he may
find it more profitable to market his
cattle at an earlier age and before
they have attained great weight.
Abundant Information along this
line will he found both in the live
stock market reports and the reports
dealing with meat-trade conditions in
the large consuming centers.
In this connection tlie stockman will
also be Interested in keeping advised

of beef is decreasing while that of

OUR IDEA in making
-the Quality Cigarette.
Why, just buy Camels and look at the package!
It’s the best packing science has devised to keep
cigarettes fresh and full flavored for your taste.
Heavy paper outside—secure foil wrapping inside
and the revenue stamp over the end to seal the pack
age and keep it air-tight.
And note this! There’s nothing flashy about the
Camel package. No extra wrappings that do not
improve the smoke. Not a cent of needless expense
that must come out of the quality of the tobacco.
Camels wonderful and exclusive Quality wins on
merit alone.
Because, men smoke Camels who want the
taste and fragrance of the finest tobaccos, expertly
blended. Men smoke Camels for Camels smooth,
refreshing mildness and their freedom from ciga-
retty aftertaste.
Camels are made for men who think for them
selves.
