Increase in cattle production noted by agriculture department
The agriculture department reports a slight rebound in cattle output after a 1907 decline, with 1915 opening 3 million more cattle than 1915 and 5 million more than 1914. The rise is linked to meat prices, cooperative marketing, more local abattoirs, and shifting marketing practices, though beef growth lags population growth. Swine output rises to partly compensate. Indigo’s old farm value is cited as potentially more profitable than major crops, highlighting nearness of soil to past indigo cultivation.
