Hard on the Beef Trust.

The latest hobby OF Secretary Wilson,
of the Agricultural Department is the
reclamation OF what are called the
burned districts in Northern Michigan,
Wisconsin, and Minnesota. This region
consists of lands denuded Of timber, the |
stumps having been destroyed by fire,
and comprises an area as large as the
State OF Illinois. The Secretary has just
returned from tour Of inspection, and
predicts that il will become thickly set
tied in few years.
s.Scandinavians, Firms, and Russians
are settling there" he said today, land
adapting themselves to their new en-
yironments with a readiness which in
sures its early development. The De-
partment Of Agriculture will do every
thing It can TO assist the settlers, and Is
now preparing TO send experts TO the
northern countries OF Europe to ascer-
tain what kinds OF cereals and fruits can
best be raised on the soil, the latitude
OF the burned lands being about the
same as that OF Northern Europe. The
soil is naturally fertile, the rainfall Is
about twenty I've inches q year, and the
water supply is ample for the cultiv. :
tion of the land and all other purposes.
believe 1t will not be long before this
section is populous and RICH"
Secretary Wilson expressed the belief
that the prospective enormous corn
crop would bring down the price OF
beef.
"If no damaging frost occurs within
the next thirty days" he said, ''there
will the greatest corn crop harvested
this country ever saw. With this crop
matured within the next month and
feeding to begin about the first Of Sep
tember, feel confident that In three
months you will see some reduction in
the price Of beef.
SIT must be remembered, however,
THAT conditions In other quarters of the
globe may affect the market. When
Iyou remember that there are children
Iseven years Of age in Australia who
have never seen drop Of rain, you will
understand why the sheep Of that coun.
try have been dying by the millions
THE loss OF Australian mutton has in
creased the demand for American beef
This will be factor in increasing the
market for our increased production O
Icattle.
sThen you must remember, also, tha
Americans themselves are becoming
the greatest beef-eaters in the world
Not many years ago our farmers sold
their cattle and ate pork. Today th'
FARMERS are beef-eaters. Prosperity i
responsible largely for this change. ami
now the workingmen who have stead,
employment and can have meat ol
their tables three times q day, buy tn
best roasts and juciest steaks.
ii ssDespite this increased consumption
. and foreign demand, i still believe tina
our tremendous corn crop turned int
