THE BIG CLIMB IN BEEF
Investigation Made by the Department
~ of Agriculture
Cattle Becoming Scarcer in the West Is
One Cause Of the Rlsc-But This
Nse Does Not Account for 1t

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE officials
at the department. Of agriculture are pur-
suing their investigation into the recent
big rise in the price OF beef and it is
more than likely they will have some
thing definite to say within the next
week with reference to the cause OF the
matter and the probable outcome. The
action of the department in raising the
embargo on Mexican cattle is expected to
have the effect of keeping the price of
beef from going up higher even if it does
not cause decline. DIR. Salmon, CHI EFF
OF the bureau of animal industry, said to-
day there is an undoubted scarcity of
cattle in the west sufficient to account in
part for the increase in the price of
dressed meats.
The only question:" said he, SIS
whether this scarcity is sufficient to ac-
count for it altogether, or whether the
few big men who control the beef market
have not to a certain extent at least, an
ticlpated the effect of the scarcity. In
other words. whether the effect has not
( ONE before the cause. What we are anx-
Ejous to know is whether the price of cat
tieshas gone up in proportion to the price
OF beef. 1t is not an easy matter to settle,
and our agents are meeting with some
difficulty in getting at the facts in the
matter. but the reports are beginning to
come in.
For some time past cattle have been
getting scarcer and scarcer in the west,
and especially in the southwest. The con-
dition of the grass has been so poor, cattle
have we'll nigh disappeared entirely. In
Southwestern Texas Tor example, where
there used to be tremendous herds. there
are practically none today. There has
been great improvement in the grass in
Texas and other western states, but the
cattle are not there to take advantage of
it, There is one reason that influenced
the department in its decision to raise
the embargo on cattle from Mexico. Mex
lean cattle have been looked upon with
disfavor for the reason that Texas fever
is known to exist Oh the other side of the
border and q quarantine has been kept
up in the summer"
