C Williams, as secretary of l :ic Cattle Raise u - a n; A' -: social ion of Tex; Ile said that the money stringency was bringing about the depletion of existing herds and j preventing the building up of new ones. "More good pasturage is going to ' waste in the canle country than for many years.'' Mr. Williams said "Range conditions in Texas and else where have been ideal for the past year, and pr .-. iliougn unsntisiac tory, have no' in general meant ac tual loss to l he stockmen. The rela tively low prices prevailing have been in goodly measure a reMill of the inability to obtain credits. "The present financial .situation, however, followng on the heels of severe drouths in both the South west' and Northwest, is bringing about a reduction of the cattle popu labm which must in the end mean mounting beef prices and nation wide economic loss. "On a recent trip through West Texas and New Mexico, I had occa sion to observe that many pastures were unstocked, or thinly stocked, and inquiry developed the fact that owners were anxious to stock and had plenty of security but could not obtain loans. "Many cattlemen whose ranches were stocked were being compelled to liquidate, and thousands of ra; ' b' which build normally be iT'-din.
