"! SpfdhcIS " Il!C SIShtH annual
convention of the American Meat
Parkcrs' convention. All the speak
crs agreed that II the decrease In
meat production of the last 10 years
is not stopped, the question of tho
meat supply for the people of the Uni
ted States will be most serious.
Remedies Are Proposed.
Among the remedies suggested by
The speakers were:
Every small farmer shOml3 raise ut
least two beef steers year to Offset
tie decreased production of the great
ranches of the west.
The remaining. ranges should be
cut up in farms to put all farmers on
an equal footing.
Development of the hills Of New
England with their bountirul spring;
end prevailing shade as beef pro-
ducing country.
Substitution of corn for cotton IL
the southern states and the consC-
Qucnt development Of the cattle and
hog production.
Condition Is Precarious.
The report Of the executive COM
mittGc sounded the first note Of the
danger Of famine.
"Thc American meat packing house
situation and that Of consumers Of
meat food products in this country
are both in a condition more precari-
Gus than at any other time in our
history" the report stated.
1--WE are facing conditions In the
production Of food products which
would have been thought impossible
10 years ago. The shortage Of live
stock, which has been impressed upon
us as packing house, producers for
several years has been intensified
curing the last year. Our popula-
tlon is growing at its normal rate.
We have passed the point where de-
mand has overtalien production and
we are now on a basis which shows
that demand exceeds the supply Of
meat products to such an cxtSnt that
VIC have abuormalIy high prices for
meat food products.
Decrease In Production.
THE farmers are not furnishing
nearly sufficient number OF ami
mails to keep the packing houses in
operation on anything like full time.
Despite tho higher prices for live
stock of all kinds. statistics show
that the farmers not only are not in
crcasing their production of meat
food animals. but that such produc-
ton Is decreasing at an appalling
rate" rr
Among other causes for the short
age Of meat, the report pointed out
were tho loss of meat food animals
through prcventable diseases and
the unthinknig slaughter Of calves
and especially hcirer calves. "
The committee appointed to confer
with government officials regarding
pure food laws, in its report chal
Icngcd the wisdom Of the federal gov
eminent debating what ingredients
shall be used in meat products.
Tic report declared that the ac-
tim Of the government in changing
the character Of labels on goods once
they had been accepted by the gov
rrnmcnt cost the packing industry
$3.50 900 annually.
