SOUTH AMERICAN MEAT
FOR MARKETS OF U. S.
Large Importations Are Expected
When the New Tariff Law Be-
comes Effective.

South America is expected to benefit
largely under the new tariff law by the
importation Of fresh meat to the United
States. DR.. A. D. Melvin, chief Of the
bureau Of animal industry in the De-
partment of Agriculture. expects to
sail for South America about August
20. He will go over the packing houses
and the great ranches of Argentine,
Uruguay and Paraguay.
Exports of fresh meat from this coun-
try to Europe used to be immense. But
the cutting up of the big cattle ranges
In the west, together with the rapidly
increasing population OF the country.
has reduced the meat exports and sent
up the price. The exports have fallen
242.WO.O0O pounds per annum between
1903 and 1913. 1t Is believed henceforth
that this country will have to import
meat.
Argentina is expected to furnish most
of the meat for the Atlantic coast, while
the shipping facilities OF Australia will
lead 1t to supply much of the Pacific
coast. 1t is thought. however. that
after the opening of the Panama canal
the great ranges of South America will
be able to take a share in supplying
the Pacific coast as well.
