URUGUAY AS SOURCE
OF MEAT SUPPLY
Where Cattle We're Killed for
Hides - Sirloins Made
Into Jerked Beef.

wAsHrNoroN, July is.--wlth porter
house steak at 80 cents a pound retail
as an Imminent fact tho beef Gators OF
the world are getting somewhat worried.
especially those who happen to be domi-
ciled IN the United states. Argentina Is
supplying some Of her product, but when
the enormous total OF Uncle Sans con-
sumption 10 taken into consideration the
quantity imported Is not even as much as
tho proverbial drop in tho bucket Where
can We look for moro meat IN the all
absorbing question.
In tho July number OF tho Monthly Bs.l-
letf~ OF the Pan-Amercan Union some
details as TO the live stock industry OF
Uruguay are given. Something over a
hundred years ago the haciendados
tranchmen) complained to the Govern
ment that over 100000 heAd of cattle
were being killed annually for their hides
alone The carcasses were thrown to tho
dogs or left on tho rolling pampas for tho
vutures 20 devour. Beef IN Uruguay was
so plentiful that II was something OF q
nuisance, evidently.
OF oomss that day has passed. but
they still have cattle enough down there
to convert some 700, 900 head into 49,
100000 pounds Of Jerked beef IN ono
year. most OF which Is sold TO Bra1ii.
Cuba, Porto Rico and other tropical ooun-
traee. Think of tho Juicy tenderloins OF
100000 head OF cattle going into jerked
beef Asain. there arc many Thousands
Of Urus,nyan cattle annually converted
into extract of beef Perhaps but few
people know that the frst great factory
for the production OF beef extract known
10 tho world was established at Fray
Bertos, a little city on tho Uruguay
River about 100 miles above Buenos
Ayres
OF moro interest TO the people Of tho
United StateA however, Is the fact that
Uruguay has UPWARD OF 5000, 900 head OF
cattle and 10000, 900 sheep on Its fertile
plains, and that II will very soon be
taken into serious consideration as a
source of meat supply for the great re-
public OF tho north During the first
four months of 1914 the United States
imported meat TO the value OF 1890
1859 from Uruguay. II the months of
March and April may be taken as a cr,-
terion the annual importation will
amount TO about 5000, 900. and tho trade
is as yet IN ITS first stages.
With the rise In the price OF refrig-
Grated beef uruSnay can ne depended
upon as being an important factor In
tho markets OF tho world and instead
of converting its fine cattle into jerked
beef new refrgerating plants will be send
ing chilled or frozen quarters TO New
York by the shipload, The demand ex-
lists now. and the only question Is. How
much can Uruguay supply? With ST.
100000 acres of Its territory devoted to
pasture and grazing the sturdy little
country ought TO cut some considerable
figure.
