PRICE OF BEEF IS
LIKELY TO REMAIN HIGH

Queer Of beef and the consumer of
meats.
At present there is a great dealof
speculation as to what effect h new
Itariff law, which has placed meat on
the free list, will have on the cost and
supply Of beef in this country. 1t may
serve temporarily to somewhat reduce
the cost of beef, but it will not have
a permanent influence On the industry.
This is due to the fact that Europe is
meat hungry, thus will bid against our
people for the surplus meat of the Ar
Igentine, Australia and any other ex-
porting countries. Even the most OPP
.timistic believers in free meat figure
that at the very outside not more than
4, 900 head of cattle per week o. 2,000,-
900 pounds of beef a be expected.
This amount would barely furnish
enough beef for our annual increase In
population. The very lowest estimates
on our annual per capita beef con-
sumption place the amount at 56
pounds per person, or $4,000 pounds
per day. thus u people would eat the
entire amount Of anticipated yearly
importation Of beef, some 100, 000, 900
pounds, in about seven days.
Days Of Cheap Beef Past.
In my Judgment the days Of cheap
beef for the American are
a thing Of the past. Beef cattle were
grown in former days on free land or
land very low in value in comparison
to present day land values. The pres
ent prices OF land, feed and labor make
1t absolutely impossible to produce
cheap beef. The farmer is not to
blame for this as he cannot afford
to, and what is more, he is not going
to produce beef for prices below what
his corn and other crops are worth in
the open market.
Al great deal has been said about the
packer robbing the people. At the
present time he is compelled to utilize
every biproduct Of the animal to come
out even in the business. For In
stance. a as an illustration the
Chicago quotations for the week end
ing Oct. 4, 1913. on beef cattie on
foot and fresh beef on the hooks.
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1913-11-06

Prime steers cost the packer at least
9 cents on the hoof, or a 1900 pound
steer cost sos. Such a steer would
dress out about 100 pounds of beef.
This beef was sold by the carcass for
1876 cents Of 1920, to the retailer.
Bi-produets Must Pay Profit.
Thus the packer had to get $1,000 OF
the purchase price Of the steer from
the hide and offal before he had his
original investment back. His labor,
interest on investment, risk through
loss and profits had to all come out of
what the country butcher discards as
waste in his business. In addition to
this the packer, after paying for the
cattle on foot, must submit the carcass
to a most rigid health inspection. IT
often happens hat a portion Of an
animal, or perhaps the entire animal,
Is condemned and sent to the rendering
tank, thus almost at total loss to the
packer.
What about the retail butcher? He
has to buy the entire carcass, thus
must sell it and out of the proceeds
pay his rent, labor, city delivery of the
meat, stand the loss from bad ac-
counts and make a living. He finds
that the great majority of his GUS
toners call for steaks and roasts and
but few of them want the less desir-
able parts. thus he must raise the
prices on the desirable portions to off
set the loss on the less desirable parts
because he must buy the entire car
ass The best way to reduce the cost
of living from the beef standpoint is
to purchase some of the less desirable
portions at reasonable prices and have
them prepared and served In a palat-
able way. Thus in the last analysis
the secret Of reducing the cost of liv-
ing, SO far as beef Is concerned, must
In a large rest with the
housewife.
Legislation NOT Practical.
Legislation, for the purpose of pre-
serving the calves and young stock. is
not practical and in my Judgment will
never work. Sentiment against the
wholesale slaughter of heifer calves
and cows lis bound to orn and will
be very helpful in saving the future
supply Of beef cattle.
Beef cattle should be grown on our
farms Az a part OF our soil conserya-
tion plan. TO succeed in this work we
must put more land under grass and
through the use Of the silo utilize
more OF our corn stalks, millions OF

Chicago, Ill.-Welcome back the
prodigal waist. 1t is coming. After
four years of aimless wandering from

occasional lapses into non-existence,
the waist is going to spend 1913 right

standing is about all that can be

have the skirts so narrow and tight
that along one side will be a narrow
slit as far up as the knee to provide
extension space for walking.
Another complication enters in
the matter of hose. These will have
