The Cattleman's Pages of History
We have now started the 104th year of publication of The Cattleman magazine. We thought we would take a few minutes each month to look back in history to find the interests of cattle raisers at the time. We have reprinted the text of these items as they appeared in the issue. Any comments from the editor appear in brackets.
➤ “Ed C. Lasater, here pictured, well known cattleman of Falfurrias, Texas, has been selected by Food Administrator Herbert C. Hoover to have charge of the branch of the service dealing with meat products. Mr. Lasater is a former president of the Cattle Raisers Association of Texas [now TSCRA], and is now a member of the Market Committee of the American National Live Stock Association. He is thoroughly acquainted with conditions surrounding the breeding, feeding, marketing and slaughter of live stock, and his appointment is expected to inspire greater confidence on the part of live stock producers in food control measures.”
The “Pages of History” is excerpted each month from The Cattleman magazine.
