Mr. Becker says a few years ago the large ranchers discovered that they could buy young steers to run on their ranges more cheaply than they could be bothered with cows to raise their stock. Accord ingly they sold out much of their female stock and depended almost entirely on buying large herds of Steers and fatten ing them on the grass. Within the last year or two, he says, these same' mJh have found It almost Impossible to buy steers. They have found that their own idea of making money in the cattle busi ness has been taken up by so many Other ranchmen that when they started out to. buy young steers most of the other ranchmen were looking for the same thing and very few were in the tteer raising business. The fact that so many quit the rattle raising industry for the cattle fattening industry Mr. Becker believes is at least in a measure responsible for the ex tremely high cost Of beef cattle at the present time. The demand, he says, must be sup plied by some onevho will raise cattle instead of depending on buying and fat i tenlng what the-other fellow raises. Of ' course he admits that the fact that the ranges have been- cut up to a great extent in the last ten years and that consequently the large herds are - no longer to be found, has a great deal to do with the high price of cattle, but he believes the situation can be somewhat relieved when all the ranchmen take to breeding their own stock again. "South Omaha is a wonderful market," says Mr. Becker. "We never think Of shipping to Chicago or other eastern points any more. We have found that when we consider the extra freight and the extra shrinkage encountered on the longer trip we come Out Just about even, or a little better, in South Omaha." , The range in Cherry and Grant counties, where Mr. -Becker's cattle graze, is in good condition, he says, and the hay crop will be ' excellent. "We do not depend on any kind of grain crop in our section," be said, "and for the cattle business there has been rain enough to make the conditions good.", 20?

MICKEY ESTATE IS INTERESTED Biff Property Owned by Estate of Former Governor of Nebraska Endangered by Encroach 1 ..'n Water. " The sudden rise of more than two feet In the Missouri river has wrought unex pected havoc and threaten still more mischief in the vlonilty of Crescent, la. At a point about three miles south of the village 100 acres of the finest farm land in the world was eaten away, yes terday, comprising part of the farm of Henry Bostlok, Early in the day it was evident that the farm house would go, and scores of farmers from the vicinity gathered with teams and house movers' appliances and pulled the building back half a mile. Before this could be accom plished a number of the farm buildings fell Into the swirling stream. Bostick and his family became alarmed early In the day and moved out. The point of attack Is more than a mile long, and SUCh Old Iowa rlvrmn as Alexander Frost say that If the high water continues and something does not Intervene to change the current many valuable farms will be' devastated. The well-known Paxton ranch and farm nron. erty in whioh the estate of former Gov ernor Mickey of Nebraska is lnteratd are in the threatened lone. The lnforma. tion from Crescent yesterday waa that the river was apparently cuttin into th Nebraska shore at a point a mile or two above the place attacked on the Iowa side and that It was the turn given the current by the big elbow that is being excavated on the west side that has caused the mischief on the Iowa shore. The huge curve that appears to be lined out for excavation on the Iowa side may bring the current very close to the Illi nois Central and the Northwestern rail road tracks. . , . As on all previous occasions, the farm. ers and landowners are compelled to stand ioi y by and see their valuable farms disappearing In great splashes when the current undermines a big mouthful and swallows it. The land that was swallowed yesterday was covered with corn that promised to yield nearly 100 bushels to the acre and small grain crops that made new records. Best In the West-The Omaha Bee.
