The Meat Supply

The Illinois farmers institute bulle-
tin says: We hope the recent rise in
the price OF meat will cause the gener-
al public TO investigate the situation,
learn the real cause of the high cost,
and instead of indulging. with
calamity howlers, in useless abuse Of
the so-called packing trust" join
forces with individuals and organiza-
tons who are working along intelli-
gent and practical lines for better
ment of conditions.
The facts are, while the profits of
the packers are believed to be exces-
sive, they are not the cause of the
high price of meat products, and we
believe IL can be conclusively demon
strated that the great saving brought
about by the packing industry through
the utilization Of residues in the
manufacture Of important by-products
which were formerly wasted. togeth-
er with the establishment of a splen-
did sanitary system OF distribution at
minimum cost, through intelligent
business combination, enables the av-
erage consumer TO secure his meat
supply, in time, in kind, in quantity
and in quality, at much lower cost
than if the country had to depend up
| on the old unsanitary, wasteful and
expensive rural slaughtering methods.
The principal cause of the high
price Of meat is the decided shortage
Of the live stock supply; It amounts
to millions Of animals, while consum-
ers continue TO increase. This brings
the problem down to the simple propo-
sition of supply and demand" and no
amount Of abuse heaped upon the
packers for taking good profits, or
upon farmers for securing good prices.
can be expected TO bring relief to the
consumer, now or in the future.
Our observations and inquiries lead
US to the conclusion that we may look
for an indefinite period Of high levels
in meat prices for the reason that the
great bulk of live stock which the
market demands must be produced on
land worth $50 an acre and upward
because in the average range section
in requires 10 acres TO support a 600
pound steer five months: in some sec,
tons it requires 90 or 80 acres. and al
the present price of land in the range
country it is quite as cheap to pasture
stock on good farm land worth 800 an
acre, and much cheaper, if fertility is
such that the steer may be maintain
ed seven months on an acre and q
half

For the first time since the dog IL
