A Gloomy Prediction.

Don't abuse the butcher.
Don't abuse the farmer.
Don't abuse the packer.
That's the advice Of Prof. Kenne-
dy, director of agriculture extension
at tue Iowa State college. who says
that che high price of beefsieikS
has come to stay. Here is what he
says about it:
It is really amusing 60 listen to
ad. read o, the iuaIy reasons al
vanCed for the high prices of beef
and other meat products. Some
people place all the blame on the
the farmer, others blame the pack
er and still others the retail butcher.
A careful study will reveal that
no one of them is responsible The
prices are governed by the law OF
supply and demand.
For the first time in the history
OF modern civilization are our Deo-
pie facing what appears to be a
near beet famine. 1t has been i3c-
Ing us ever since 1907. Between
January /, 1907, and January l
1913, our supply of beef cattle fell
off from 15,970,000 head, or about
% per cent, while our population
increased about 100000 people.
This would not be such serious
matter from the customers stand
point if it applied just to the United
States. A study of the beef cattle
situation in all beef-producing coun-
tries clearly indicates that there is
a worldwide shortage, as in only
two countries, Australia and France
has beef production kept pace with
increase in population since 1890.
There is a great deal of specu-
lation as to what effect the new tar
if 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 reduce
the cost of beef somewhat: but it
will not shave a permanent infiu-
ence. Europe is meat hungry, and
thus will bid against our people for
the surplus meat of the Argentine,
Australiasan other meat producing
countries.
Beef cattle. were grown in former
years onssfree land or land very
low in value, The present prices
Of land, feed and labor make it i'm
possible to produce cheap meat
The farmer is not going to produce
beef raprices below what his corn
and other products are worth in the
open market. Legislation Tor pre-
the calves and other young
stock is not practical, and in my
will not work Sentiment
against the wholesale slaughter of
heifers. cows and calves is bound to
come and will be helpful.
Beef cattle should be grown on
our farms as a part of the soil con-
servation plan. To succeed in this |
work we must put more land under
grass and through the use of the |
silO utilize.mOre of our cornstalks, |
millions of acres Of which are an
nually wasted, and grow some al |
falfa on every farm. Then and |
until then salOne, will we get back |
into position to profitably raise beef |
cattle and furnish American beef

AGED MOTHER sEEMIG SON

An aged New York; woman who
recently lost one son through death,
and who fears that another is i'll or
in want in Nevada, has made a pitt
full plea to Chief of Police Hillhouse
to find her boy for her. The plea
is contained in a letter received
today. The name of the boy the
mother seeks is Anton Walter, %
years old, six feet tall, slender
figure, pale face, grey eyes. dark
brown hair and small ears.
The mother is Mrs. G. Walter OF
428 East Sixty-seventh street, New
York City. In the letter she de-
clares that her son is sickly and
left home some time ago. The last
message she received from hi !. was
written on picture post card
showing the railroad depot at Reno.
In this message the son stated be
would come home in a few months.
He said he was not feeling we'll.
The mother tells the chief of
police that she is afraid her boy
is i'll in hospital in some town
in Nevada. or else in need of aid,
and that he does not let her know
for fear of worrying her. The
police are making an effort to find
the young man. Enclosed in the
mothers letter was a picture of her
son. n.-Reno Gazette.
