Mr I. L. Case, specialist in animal
husbandry, spoke to a group of farm
ers and cattlemen from' ' Madison,
Yancey, Avery, and Mitchell counties
Saturday afternoon in Marshall. He
outlined plans whereby farmers may
obtain beef cattle from the' exchange
in Kansas City, Mo., to replace the
government cattle removed from pas
tures in this section for Which feetf
has ibeen stored away.
iMr. Case predicted the price 'of
beef wou'ld be higher within a year.
He showed by a chart that the
drought in the West has changed the
cycle of cattle production 'there and
the unnatural condition will raise the
price of beef and cattle product
within the year 1935. Cattlemen here
expressed the belief that prices for
animals to be shipped here as quoted
by the Kansas City exchange are
higher than the prevailing price here,
but Mr. Case explained that although
prices quoted were higher than those
here, it was probably because the
choice animal (s were mainly the ones
in question. (Lower prices existed
for lower grade stock, he said.
Guy V. Roberts, president of the
Mladipon Ccunty Hereford associa
tion, told the group that this county
and other Western North Carolina;
counties do not need the grade cat
tle, that there are enough of them
here already. The people of thigr
section need, he said, purebred breed
ers in order to build up their herds.
Representatives of the Asheville
Production Credit Association out
lined plans whereby cattlemen may
mortgage their cattle in order to buy
more cattle. It was expKained to
