Daniel j. Haley. of Troy. secretary Of tho

for one believe that the government Is as
much 10 blame as any one. The supply
of food animals is not sufficient To meet
the demand. and that is one reason why
the heavy prices prevail.
ITO adjust this the government should
take action at once to provide for feeding

the ranchnen. The retailer Is not out to
force high prices, but he has To take In
sufficient to make a living profit. and that
is all he Is doing now.
