HIGHER BEEF, LAMB TOO,
FEDERAL WARNING
Americans Must Conserve Pres

Government Bulletin.

WAsHINGToN. June IA bulletin is
sued by the Department of Agriculture
to-day indicates an era of steadily in
creasing prices for beef unless the Ameri-
can people learn 10 conserve the present
supply and provide for the future,
The most striking feature of the re-
port is the statement that in the last six
years there has been decrease of 80
per cent. in the number OF beef cattle.
A decrease of l3 per cent. is shown in
the number Of beef cattle slaughtered
under the supervision of United States
inspectors during the first three months
Of this year as compared with the same
period last year
The bulletin says that in 1912. for the
first time In the history of the United
States, imports Of animal products en-
| ceeded the exports.
Sheep and lambs were also on the up
grade in price in the last year. They
| advanced from Is to 20 per cent. The
report says
THE year 1919 was year of high
prices for all classes of food animals.
Unfortunately when prices of live stock
rule high. as WAS the case in 1910, ther"
| is a natural tendency for farmers to rush
, everything salable to market including
| immature animals and worst of al! breed
ing animals. This inevitably brings
about IA future shortage,
There was largely Increased I'M
