WASHINGTON, July 16.-The flood
OF protests pouring into the depart
ment of agriculture from all parts OF
the country against the extraordi-
nary advance OF beef prices will has
ten the departments investigation Of
the high cost Of beef and bring re-
port by the probing committee soon,
officials stated today.
The meat situation presents such
q complicated problem that Secretary
OF Agriculture Houston declined to
express an opinion as to the PROF.
able cause OF recent soaring OF beef
prices until the probing committees
report has been made. The investi-
CATION has been conducted quietly In
every part OF the country for about
six months. The probers are former
Assistant Secretary OF Agriculture B.
L. Galloway, j. H. Waters, president
OF the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege, Prof. Curtiss dean Of Iowa state
college, M. w. Muford, professor OF
animal husbandry, University OF ILL
nois, DIR. A. B. Melvin, chief of bureau
of animal industry department Of agri-
culture and DR.. A. T. Carver Of the de-
partment. They are trying to hnd
the fundamental causes Of beef short
age and Will recommend course OF
action for solution Of the problem.
Among recommendations for cattle
shortage, the probers will report that
the drought in the southwest has been
strong factor. Last year when the
corn crop did not look good, the farm
ers unloaded their cattle. ihe scare
ity caused by this condition was In
creased by the tendency Of farmers to
hold their cattle year with the corn
crop prospects SO bright.
Many kilograms have been receiv-
ed at the agricultural department dur
ing the past few days complaining OF
the federal restrictions on the sale OF
Argentine beef in the United States.
The department is replying to all
these kilograms that the only restric-
tions it is imposing, is an inspection
under the provisions Of the pure food
act Argentine beef Is on the free
list now but not bringing down the
cost of beef as 1t was expected, 1t was
said. One Of the reasons officials de-
clare, Is that American packers con-
troll large portion Of the production
and shipments to the United States.
England also takes a large supply
from Argentine. Another reason is
the inadequacy Of shipping facilities
and the lack Of American banks in
South America. The United States
imports about 100000 pounds OF
beef monthly from Argentine but this
is only bite" for its hungry citf-
zens. Agricultural department statis-
tics show that the ratio of animals to
population in the United States his
declined from ST of one animal per
capita in 1900 to 81 one animal per
capita in 1914. In the face Of this the
