Considering the fact that Pennsyl-

In use for more than n year and that
during that time hundreds of thousands
have passed through the station. it is
rather surprising that an unexpected
visit IF the stork was delayed until
the other day. Mr.. and Mrs. Refill arr

wick, NJ j.. for visit To New York,
but upon their arrival at the station

room Of the terminal and enjoys the
distinction of being the first baby to
see the light of day in that busy struc-

is that, following the absurd custom,

for raising live stock during the past
ten years had yielded better returns
we should today have more live stock
in this country than ten years ago.
"In this connection wish to make
further pertinent suggestion: That
if Congress should place our products
on the free list and thus cause a
lessening in the now narrow margin
of profit enjoyed by the stockmen,
there will be further shrinkage in
live stock production in this country,
which will be followed by much higher
prices to the consumer. Foreign
nations can supply only small part
of the meats we need that small part
will be sufficient to affect conditions
here and start another era of I'M
profitable prices, lessen production
and cause ultimately higher prices on
account of the shortage. At present,
stockmen generally are getting fair
returns and if substantially the pres
emit basis of prices continues there
will be plenty of meat food products
produced for home consumption as
we'll as goodly share for export. -

the consumer. Indeed the margin
between what the producer receives
for his live stock and what the con
sumner pays for meat products has
widened pronouncedly in the past
decade. There have been many
reasons assigned for this but none
are satisfying or convincing.
"This question of free meats from
Argentine, free cattle from Canada
and Mexico, is the most important
question that has ever confronted the
live stock industry. I believe this
association should at once take proper
steps to see that every stockman and
farmer throughout the West was fully
informed of the disastrous effect that
the free admission of meats from
South America would have on home
prices.
"Statistics relative to the live stock
of the United States at the thirteenth
decennial census, April Is, 1910 are
now available. Compared with 1900
they show decrease of approximate
ly6.5OO, 900 head of cattle of all kinds,
or about 10 per cent a decrease OF
about s. 900, 900 head Of hogs, or about
8 per cent decrease of about 9, 7OO,
600 head Of sheep and lambs, equiva-
lent to about Is per cent. 1t is prob
able that there was only a slight de-
crease in the number of hogs and
sheep and lambs on ia rms and ranches
in 1910 compared with 1900, while
CATTLE There seems to be no reason
able doubt that there are fewer meat
food animals in the United States
today than ten years ago.
"The natural query which arises in
the minds OF those not familiar with
the raising and marketing of live
stock is: Why does not this country
raise more live stock? The answer is
simple and | think conclusive. The
net returns on the capital invested
and the labor employed IN breeding,
raising and fattening live stock for
market have not been as great as those
in other branches of agriculture,
trade or manufacturing. Consequent
ly the capital and labor employ ed in
stock raising have sought other
avenues for investm ent and work.
Human nature is much the same the
L
ed to continue long in any business
after he discovers to his own satisfac-
ton that he can secure better returns
doing something else. If the prices
