DOES BEEF FAMINE IMPEND7
People Gradually Beginning to Realize
That Flesh Of Animal ls Not
Entirely Necessary.
fRx r B. RuEHLINa.O

Every now and then the statement
appears in the papers that the pro-
duction of beef in this country is fall
ing away steadily; that the situation,
In consequence, is becoming unusual,
even serious: that unless a change is
brought about in some way alarming
conditions may result. Even the de-
partment of agriculture at Washing
ton has given the matter consideration,
and brought to the attention Of the
country at large the rapidly decreasing
percentage of live stock to population.
But is there in reality any danger
Of beef famine in store for us? Now.
II must be admitted that the state
ments made in regard to the gradual
decrease of live stock production in
the United States are true, and repre-
sent affairs as they are, today. But
there are also conditions and influences
at work beneath the surface of things
which must be reckoned with in arriv-
ing at the true solution of this prob
lem.
There is a reason for the steady de-
crease in production shown, and one
which is to become more and more
potent, too, from now on. In this
case. as in every other, effect is the
result OF an established cause. working
itself out in its own time and way.
For a very long time the flesh Of
animals was universally regarded as
necessarily the chief article of diet
suitable to man. But little by little
the consciousness is dawning upon the
human mind that this is not alto
Eether true; that the plant world all
about us was intended to supply US
largely with necessary nutriment. The
truth which scientists have so long
been proclaiming that many vege-
tables are In reality quite as'nourish-
Ing as flesh Is at last beginning to be
needed.
1t may be that famine is impend-
Ing for that old, cannibalistlc, flesh
eating tendency of the human race,
which is at last to be starved out of
our natures and put to flight by the
steadily advancing and refining in
nuences Of modern civilization. Beef
production may be, yes, certainly is,
decreasing every day. but this is be-
cause fruit and vegetable growing
nave got it routed and on the run.
And the better taste and judgment of
me country at large will not be Of
tended because this is SO.
