part OF the new state. Mr. Barrin-

string that he marketed yesterday
vase the last of his winters feeding,
You must look some other place
for fat beef cattle, than our country
said Mr.. Barringer. Feed was too
high last fall for us to put many on
feed, so the number was cut down.
They are about all gone, so that from
now on there will be very few beet
cattle to come out of that country.
II fat cattle should become as scarce
elsewhere as they are with us, the
fat cattle market would go up in a
hurry. There is general scarcity
of stock cattle, as well as the fat
kinds. and | do not know where our

liquor business may be assumed to have covered
5,S63 square miles.
We are now in position to Identify the States"
in question. The state of Rhode Island, the
smallest state in the Republic, has, exclusive of
its water area, 1907 square miles of surface.
The state of Connecticut ranking third small
est of the states, covers land of 4s2o
square miles The total area of the two states
then is 5,Ss7 square miles or twenty four square
miles more than the land area required for the
raising of the grain consumed by the liquor busi-
ness.
~
The loud-soundng expression two states"
grows little feeble just now when the identity
of the states in question is revealed, for the
total area of those two states is only trife
more than tenth of the area of the state of

into alcohol than it would justify the use of the
area of two states to produce vegetable poison
should the producers plead that the sale of that
poison enables them to maintain their homes and
pay their taxes. Every square foot of land, upofN
which grain is raised for the production of alco-
holic liquor is foot of land, not only made use
less for national upbuilding and progress, but
made injurious to national interests because its
product is a poison for the individual and for
the state.
second fact is one that has frequently been
expressed, namely, that the market which the dis
ter and the brewer now furnish the grain
raising farmer, is small in comparison with the
new market for general farm products that
would be opened up if the wages of the wage
Garner and the income of the prosperous were
diverted from the present vicious course that
leads into the till of the gin miller and sent into
the grocery store, meatmarket and other places
of legitimate trade to purchase the necessities
and comforts and luxuries of life for American
homes
A third fact is one which must be we'll known
to the mendacious writers of the liquor adver-
tisements, and in plain defiance of which
they tell their falsehoods. That is this For
every bushel of grain not used for legitimate
purposes upon our own soil, Europe has a wide
open market. Were every distillery and every
brewery in the United States closed today no
farmer would find grain left upon his hands,
without market, would he find the price of
grain lowered by the absence of the brewers
and distiller's petty trade. There would simply
be that much more grain to the and
that much more money pouring back from Eu-
rope to fill the pockets Of American farmers.
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-04-23

of the grain fields. We shall thus be
obliged to add the Lower Peninsula of Michigan
before we shall have measured off enough to
furnish the comparison. In other words, it
would require every foot of thirteen states to
raise the grain produced by the American peo-
pie of which the liquor traffic boasts that it uses
as much as would be produced by the area of
two states.
We can make this illustration still more strik-
ing, perhaps, by another comparison If we sub
tract from the total grain production of the
United States the amount of grain which the
liquor manufacturers claim that they use we
shall find that it would require the total land
area of North and South Dakota, Minnesota and
Iowa to raise the remainder The second map
shows this in comparison with the insignificant
area of Connecticut and Rhode Island
A few other facts ought to be made plain in
connection with this study of the grain ques-
ton.
In the first place, tie territory now used for
the production of grain to be made into liquors
is not used for the benefit of the American peo-
pie, any more than if it were used to raise some
vegetable or plant containing deadly poison, the
use of which was resulting in the destruction OF
the health and lives of thousands Of Our citizens
1t no more initiates against this statement that
certain citizens get money for the grain made
