In terms of index num bers which are based on the five year prewar average of prices, this is an increase of 40 points or from SD to 129. Beef cattle are still cheap, but this rise has occurred in spile of the general agricultural depression, saya Dr. Warren. The number of beef cattle in the United States has been decreasing and still is decreasing. Since 1D20 the number of beef cattle in the United States has been decreasing and still is decreasing. Since 1920 the number cf cattle has decreased 14 per cent, while, at the same time, the population of the United States increased 11 per cent. Because cf this increase in the number of con sumers, and because there is already a shortage of young cattle, a period of better prices is inevitable. The highest prices probably will occur about 1S31, Dr. Warren predicts. The depressions and periods cf high prices in the beef cattle in dustry average about eight to nine years apart. Judging by the exper ience of the lest 55 years,. prices will continue to rise at an accelerated rate for four years, and by that time pub lic interest will probably-be centered on how to get a supply of beef rather than how to get rid of the supply If past experiences are repeated. Dr. Warren predicts that soon after 1931, or at the time when prices are highest, a commission will be ap pointed to study the question as was done in 1913. It is perfectly easy to get a supply of beef and perfectly easy to get rid of it he says, but it takes about eight years to accomplish either.
