FUND WILL AID FARMER.
PACKERS VOTE $5oo,ooo TO SHOW
PROFITS IN BEEF.
Chicago Convention Says U. S. Keeps
81 High Meat Prices by Demanding
Label Change Too Often.

Chicago, Sept. 24.-Five hundred
thousand dollars was voted on Monday
by the American Meat Packers asso-
cattle raising. This step was taken
as the result of the situation which
the packers declare confronts the
tcountry--a meat famine by 1923-and
to lower the high cost of living.
This was decided by the meat pack
ers on Monday at their annual conven-
ton, on the motion Of Gustav Bischofr,
ST., Of the Independent Packing COM
pany, St. Louis. president Of the or
ganization.
What the farmers of the country
need is education along the lines Of
how to operate their farms" said Mr..
Bischof. "They imagine that the only
way they can make both ends meet Is
to raise an abundance of grains and
feed no beef cattle. 3, "a
las q matter of fact, there is not a
farmer in the land who could not
raise a few beef cattle to good advan-
tage. What the farmers need is edu-
cation. With this In mind, ! move
that fund Of 100000 a year be voted
for period Of five years, to be ex-
pended among the farmers in cam
paign Of education. Until the farmers
raise cattle for beef, the price Of meat
cannot be lowered. AS long as the sup
ply is scant the price must Of neces-
sity be high"
The motion to create the $500. 900
educational fund was carried by unani-
nous vote, and President Bischof will
appoint committee to devise ways
and means for carrying on this work.
