Controversy Over Moisture In
RuttPr.

The case of the United States VS..
11,15O pounds of butter, decided
last month in the United States Dis
trict Court at st. Paul, lis good H.
lustration of the way the executive
and judicial branches of our Govern
ment are sometimes not in accord.
This case was a seizure of butter
under the federal law providing
for the conGscation of butter con-
tanning an abnormal quantity of
moisture. Under this law the
Secretary of Agriculture made a
ruling that butter should be con-
fiscated if it contained more than
10 per cent of moisture.
Upon the hearing of this case
Judge Willard held that under the
statute the Secretary had no pow
err to fix any percentage as being
abnormal, declaring that such &C
ton was not a regulation for car
rying the law into effect, but was
rather rule for the construction
of the law and that it is for the
courts, not the executives, to con-
strue the law. In this case the
Government proved that the but
ter contained more than 16 per
cent moisture, and went no fur
Their. The defendant moved that
the court dismiss the case, which
was done on the ground that the
proof of Is per cent is not proof
of an abnormal amount of moist
nre, despite the ruling of the Sec
retary.
Under this decision in every
proset ution under this statute it
will be necessary to prove that the
amount of moisture is abnormal,
regardless of the percentage
found, until the law is amended
fixing the percentage beyond
which makers of butter cannot 90.

Making an unprecedent increase
in value for the year ending June
30, our exports exceeded two
billion dollars for the last year in
history. The imports last year
were exceeded in value only by
those of the year before, when
they were so large that the excess
of exports over imports amounted
to only $1SS,000,000. The past
year this favorable excess was
1921, OOO,O 900, which was the larg-
est balance of any year except
1908. Farmers and manufacture
ers shared about equally in the
growth in exports. The total in
crease in exports was 1904, 900, 900
as compared with the preceding
year, of which manufactures con-
stituted As per cent, cotton A per
cent, meat and dairy products 6
per cent, corn 3 per cent, and food
animals and -four the other per
cent. Wheat showed a marked
decline. The exports of meat and
dairy products reached total val
ne of about $150,000, 900, against
S131, 100000 the previous year,
but materially less than the high
point of $2l1, 100000 in 1906.
Food animals exported were val
ued at S13, 100000, which is over
a million dollars more than the
year before, but far below the
high record of SAB, 100000 in
1906. The value of flour exported
last year was about $50, 900, 900,
which is 5 per cent more than the
year before, but only twO-thirds
as much as the high figure reach
ed in 1898.

Unwarrdnted OiSCri m mat 10 n
AuainSt Mutton.

Diligent search fails to develop
any reason why a spread of S3.25
per cwt. should exist between
lambs and sheep of practically the
same quality. On Monday Wash
ington lambs realized $7.55 on the
Chicago market while good Mon
tana sheep had to be contented
with $4.1O@415. At these prices
killers were hungry for lambs, but
bid Reluctantly on sheep. The
avidity with which young stock is
bought while age goes begging is
the most aggravating puzzle Of
live stock trade.
Packers have been accused of
bearing the sheep market because
of an excessive supply, but the
proportion of mature muttOns has
not been as excessive. as the price
discount is unfair, so that other
reasons must be sought. The
grower is interested in learning
whether heavy sheep are an asset
or liability, and the manner in
which both ewes and wethers have
been selling is calculated to en-
courage the latter conclusion.
Wholesalers say mutton accumu-
lates in their coolers and retailers
assert that they cannot induce
their customers to take it At
present cost mutton ought to be
the cheapest meat on the butchers
counter. The boiled mutton of
England is not in great favor in
the culinary economy of our cooks
and the savory stews and ragouts
of continental Europe have rather
small place in our dietary. Were
it not for demand from public in
situations mutton would be even
more drug on the market. The
present wide range is absurd.

encouragement for Beef Cattle
Breeders.

Recalling the fact that it is an
i'll wind that blows nobody good,
breeders of pedigree beef cattle
will take heart from the liquida-
/tion of cattle from farm and ranch
induced by the destructive drouth.
The want of water has swelled
stockvards summer receipts for
two seasons, and gives deceptive
appearance of large stocks. The
herds which have been swept
marketward by the dry winds that
have blown profits out of pocket
the past two summers must be
built up again. Meat-eating is
not lost art nor an appeased APP
petite. High prices have turned
the public mind, not stomach,
against meat, and the difficulty of
reducing retail prices over the
butchers block has stood in the
way of increased consumption
when values on the hoof have
fallen.
The trade has been sadly out of
Joint, with high prices of feed,
kthe ups and downs in the beef
market, and a condition of market
ing that lays unwarranted tax on
the consumer. But the weel must
turn again and equilibrium must
be restored. Already the settlers
in the Northwest who drove whole
herds off the ranges have discov-
cred in doing so they have de-
stroyed the market for their farm
crops. The fenced pasture plan
never looked more certain. A
thoughtful Iowa correspondent sets
forth forcibly the necessity of the
farm breeding of acceptable feed
lot cattle, if land values are to be
maintained. All things are work
ing together for the enheart, n
ment of the faithful imprOvers of
beef stocks, who through good
and i'll report, through flood and
drouth, have held their faith.
That they have been constant to
their high calling the approaching
fairs will demonstrate beyond
shadow of doubt.
