ALARMING SHORTAGE
Continued from Page Four)

Continued from Page Four)
The encroachment Of farms upon
the range territory
The lack of a proper range leasing
law permitting economical manage
ment and utilization of ranges.
The shortage in the corn and forage
crop due to the severe drought In
Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma in
1913. which caused the farmers in
those States to dispose of their meat
animals.
The increase in the value of land
and the increased cost of labor and
stock feed, resulting in greatly in
creased cost of production.
The decline in stockraising on farms
in the East and South because of poor
marketing facilities, resulting from
many local Strengthening establish
ments having been driven out of bust
ness by the competition of the great
the West and Central West.
The temptation to sell live stock at
the prevailing high prices rather than
to continue to carry them with high
priced stock feed, possible loss from
disease or accident, and uncertain
prices the following year
Enormous losses from hog cholera
The competition of higher prices for
other farm products.
The extent of the influence of these
various causes of shortage singly or
combined is not definitely known and
will undoubtedly be considered by the
committee recently appointed by the
Secretary of Agriculture to investi-
gate the economics of the present
meat situation.
MEAT RAISING EVIDENTLY NOT
PROFITABLE TO FARMERS.
The large increase in the value of
meat animals on farms is probably
accounted for by the increased cost
of production and the increased con-
sumption or demand arising from the
fact that production has not kept pace
with the increase in population, and
in the case of cattle and sheep has
actually declined. 1t is we'll known
that producers of farm products are
the last to receive any benefit from
higher prices paid by consumers, yet
they are among the first to increase
production if there is a prospect of
realizing better returns. The very
fact that there is a present shortage OF
nearly 100000 meat animals in the
