Note of Optimism Found in Cattle Number Increases Considerable option in feeding cattle has been shown since the first of the year, reports Ed Coles, extension livestock marketing specialist at Oregon State college. Although the number of cattle in the nation's feed lots on April 1 was about 2 percent below a year ago, replacements have increased since January 1. The specialist says reports from the corn belt feeding states' show most of the cattle in the area are being fed for a shorter period and marketed at lighter weights and younger age. In the three important cattle feeding states of Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska, the number of cat tle on feed less than three months is estimated to be 72 percent larger than a year ago. However, the number on feed for three to six months is 21 percent less than last year. There is a de crease also in the number being fed over six months.

The Lewis and Clark Expedition Commemorated in Original Painting few IfHlwIPi The spirit of one of the most important events in this country's history, The Lewis and Clark expe dition, has been captured by Dean Cornwell, N.A., in an original paint ing commemorating the 150th anni versary of the start of the expedition on May 14th, 1804. Cornwell's paint ing was commissioned by the New York Life Insurance Company and this photo of it shows Meriwether Lewis holding the octant and William Clark seated on the ground with a map in a scene on the Upper Mis souri River. The expedition, which opened up the vast Northwest to the mouth of the Columbia River, began at 4:00 P.M., May 14th, 1804. The men did not return until September, 1806. rit.'tivfi Inrop Kll nnlv of feed this' result in an increased demand for fall.
