LIVING WILL

Secretary of Agriculture
Reports Splendid Crops
and Outlook is Very En-
cOuraging

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-De-
claring that the price of beef next
winter would be lower than for a
number of years. SECRETARY Wilson
OF the Department Of Agriculture,
said Sunday that the cheap meat of
decade ago would never again be
secured. In addition Secretary Will
son maintained that crops through
out the United States would be
greater than for a number of years,
while in several instances records
are expected to go by the board.
He added that the high cost of
living will be greatly reduced this
year because OF these crops, while
the third greatest corn crop in the
history of the country would be
harvested next tall. The absence
this year of the extreme heat, which
worked such havoc on the agricu.
tural products of the United States
last year, is his explanation of the
bountiful crops to be harvested this
year.
Secretary Wilson said Sunday
night: "The high cost of beef
through last winter and at the
present time was due to small corn
crops Of last year. The best beet
is fed on corn, but with corn so
scarce that the product scared to a
price Of 20 cents a bushel many cat
tie raisers did not feel that they
could feed their cattle for slaughter.
ing purposes on corn and get their
money back. The result was that
little good quality beef reached
Chicago, making prices automatic
ally higher.
This year the corn crop will
reach morn than 2,SOO,OOO,OOO
bushels, or the third largest in the
history of the country. This will
lower the price of beef an appreci-
able degree, and will be aided by
the splendid hay and oats crops
which will be harvested"
