Fig. 3. Densfpy op the Cattle Supply^ It is seen, then, that less than one-sixth as many cattle on a given area in this country as in Belgium, and less than one-half the relative number found in Italy. Only two of the counlries (Australia and Canada) in which beef production is susceptible of large expansion, rank below the United States in number of cattle per square mile. While it is true that vast areas of desert and mountainous lands partly account for the small number of cattle per square mile in this country, yet in Illinois, which contains but little waste land, are found only 50 cattle per square mile, or but one-third to one-half the relative number in various countries of Europe. These figures should furnish food for thought to those who consider the cattle busi- ness overdone in the United States and should lend encourage- ment to all who are engaged in the industry. ^Computed from references cited, on p.
