We didn't hnvo the stock nor did wo hnvo tho feed on which to keoii more stock, If wo had posBOHHod it. The drouth of 1914 reduced our production of feed nnd, thoroforo, limited our fnrlHHc for prodiieliiR moro livestock. Tin1 youtiK stork that matured this venr for tho market was not properly fed for tho best market prlcos becniiHe tho dearth of food rendered essential care Impossible, llouce, tho output wan nffeclcd correspondingly, both In wolnht nnd quality. Tho llvostock wo did ship this year was In very poor condition, somo of It absolutely unfit for market, and for that reason wo rocnlved second and third rate prices for It. In this fact wo find tho cause for tho reduc tion In tho total of cash receipts. Whom tho Jmil Sin Me This chain of misfortunes Is trace- nblo directly to tho absonro of Irri gation In Horiio river valley. Tho conclusion Is Inescapnblo and tho fault Is, In the samo measure, Inex cusable. We didn't have Irrigation because thoso who own tho Innd In this vnlloy hnd not yet been nwakon od to n propor sonso of their duly lo tlieniBolvcH nnd tholr responsibility ns property holders to tho community nt lnrj?c. What livestock wo had was forced to subsist ou half rations, with no possibility of belnR fed Into propor condition because wo couldn't feed It nny longer, nnd Its owners accepted, of necessity, what wns offered for It. If (ho bountiful supply of water In tho mmintalns surrounding this fer tile valley hns ben convoyed to tho areas already In cultivation within the county, tho nddltlonal harvest would have been nulla sufficient to huvo fed Into marketable condition moro than twlco tho output of live stock from Jackson county this yenr. A conservative estlmato of tho In creaso In caRh receipts, on oxnetly twlco tho output In numbers, Is 120 porront, iimI-Iiir Iho total of tho sum wo should have received $SIK 840.
