FUTURE BEEF SUPPLY

Any question that relates To the
food supply of mankind is OF vital i'm
portance. This is true at any time
and under normal conditions. but at a
time when nearly all food products
are abnormally high the discussion OF
this question will attract greater at
tention. There is no means OF de-
termiping the exact ratio OF beef to
other food products IN the dietary OF
mankind. but 1t is safe to say it con-
stitutes an important part. However
much other meats may enter into this
food supply. beef is a leading element.
It cannot well be eliminated; there
seems to be no satisfactory substi-
tute. Hence the future beef supply Is
a live question
For several years well-info7med
stockmen have called attention to the
shortage II beef cattle in Z g United
States and have predicted that this
shortage was becoming greater with
the passing years These predictions
fell on listless or unbelieving ears,
even among beef producers But the
claim has been substantiated during
recent years by reports from the De-
partment Of Agriculture at Washing
ton This decrease was estimated at
100000 to 100000 head annually.

that beef animals are now marketed at
an earlier age than during former
years. so that they may not represent

Thought decrease OF SO per cent In
beef cattle in ten years should cause
no anxiety about future meat supply.
but when 1t is known that this de-
crease is coincident with an increase
OF 81 per cent of beef eaters It pre-
sents a condition that, merits the
serious consideration of the beef pro-
ducers
The wonderful expansion of the
range cattle industry 20 to Is years
ago. with free range and unlimited
grass. caused most corn belt farmers
to sell their cows and cease raising
steers The subsequent encroachment
of the homeseeker clamoring for land
has gradually cirthmscribed the ranch
industry and in many instances has
caused the sale OF large bands Of cat
tie The liquidation from this cause
for several years was of immense vol
ume This is largely the cause Of this
decrease of beef cattle that now con.
fronts the country II this decrease
is to be stopped. it will have TO be
done by the cattle raiser on the farm.
Present conditions certainly invite the
farmer to re-enter this neglected field
