Summary	In earlier peacetimes and in the days when cattle rasing was on a free-for-all and catch-as-catch-can basis, an operator's inclination to play for uncertain stakes was his own lookout. Today, cattle-raising is an essential war industry. Not only this year and next year, but also all during the war and the immediate post-war period, the demand on the southwestern ranges for more and better beef production is going to be heavy. Our soldiers, war workers and other civilians, and lend-lease commitments are requiring more and more beef and hides. To meet this continuing demand, the southwestern operator will have to make his forage resource go further and last longer than it ever did before... His responsibility now is to realize high production and a fair return year in and year out; not to gamble on good years and drought years, but to count on their fairly regualr recurrence; to make the weather work for him instead of pitting himself against it.--p. 3.
