Speaking to the Umatilla County Cattlemen’s Association on December 9, Mann stated that under proper management, the domestic cattle industry could expand production with minor fluctuations in herd sue and still be in good shape for a long time to come. He cited the differences in consumer preferences for beef in the countries making up the principal world beef markets, which have resulted in certain types of production by their traditional suppliers. Demand is growing at such a pace, Mann said, that these suppliers soon won’t have the herds to support any other export pro- grams which could hurt United States market potential. He cited Great Britain, where butchers are demanding a total ban on beef exports because of a shortage at home and an ar­ tificially high price. “U. S. cattlemen need to fight the temptation to reduce cowherds materially. For the long-term picture, it appears that increases in world beef production will be racing against rising population and rising incomes. ■•Properly managed, and with minimum peaks and valleys in numbers, the cattle business in tlie United States should be good for a long time to come,” the agriculture director said. jity "WILL? — WA L00 m KE^> W ILSON’S SAUSAGE .
