MEAT FAMINE
FOR WORLD
PREDICTED.
PACKING HOUSE OFFICIAL
SAYS WAR WILL EXHAUST
PRESENT SUPPLY

Chicago, Oct. 21.-Shortage of {
meat supply faces the world as q re-
suit of the war, according to George
.dcCarthy of New York, secretary q
the American Meat Packers Assoc;a-
tion, asserted before the ninth an
nual convention of the association
which opened here today.
Europe will soon exhaust its own
food supply and then will drain the
world to feed it's huge armies and
helpless populations, Mr.. Mccarthy
said. The results will be felt the
world over. Taken in connection
with the fact that this country is ex-
tremely short of food animals, the
prospect for an abundant supply eth
er in the United States or abroad is
not encouraging.
Meat shortages have grown, ac-
cording to a report OF the federal
in spite of the more ,ad-
means of slaughter and
that has developed from
yhe centralized packing plants. This
las been offset by the loss of range

A careful study of the subject is to |
'e understood under two neads First
general investigation of the meth
ds of producing slaughtering and
meat products, to de-
ermine what is to be done to in
rease production in the United
tates.
Second, ! general investigation of
he product'ol and consumption of
leat animals in the United States
nd the principal foreign countries. |,
his investigation should show the
increase in population,
nd, possibly a larger proportion of
slative percapita consumption and
le increase or decrease in meat pro-
uction, for both the importing and
Sporting countries.
Under the first head a study will
e made of methods of growing crop
reduction, soil fertility and means of
tilizing new meat producing areas

a year In captivity, occasionally a
second litter is produced. One male
should be kept for from five to eight
females. The mating season is In
February or early March. The young
are usually born In May, and are ma
ture with prime fur in December.
Careful selection year by year will
result in a better grade Of fur and in
three or four generations 1t is possible
to secure a strain of skunks the fur
of which will all grade mo. l." A No.
1 fur will bring from 50 to $3.50 or
more in the New York market.
AS skunks inhabit most parts of the
United States, they may usually be OBJ
tanned In the neighborhood where 1t
is desired to breed them. The best
method is to dig the young cut OF
their dens In the summer. Additional
data of interest to the skunk raiser
may be had in the new bulletin which
gives diagrams to aid him in making
an Enclosure for the animals.
In capturing the wilk skunk for its
fur, trapping is better method than
shooting, for shooting impairs the
value of the fur and generally re-
suits In its being defiled. Skunks are
neither suspicious nor cunning and
are easily trapped. They are often
caught in undated traps placed in the
paths they travel; yet the head OF
fowl, a sparrow or dead mouse
makes an excellent bait. Skunks when
trapped do not often discharge their
scent so as to defiie the fur, but care
is needed in removing them from the
trap. The new bulletin goes into great
er detail in describing skunk traps.

they are caught

cords long enough to reach the ground,
and drive a stake into the ground In
the right position to fasten each cord
to. Plant the vines you wish to have

and entwine the small tendrils around

Then by guiding the little fingers. as
the vines grow, so the vines will
spread over to the adjoining strings.
the spaces may be completely inter-
laced, and by the time the top of the
umbrella frame has been reached you
