CATTLE AND BEEF, SUPPLY.

Minneapolis journal: The bureau
OF animal industry begins to report
statistics of imports OF cattle and beet
under the free list of the new tariff.
The increase is impressive in pcrcen-
tage, but small in comparison with
the domestic consumption and pro-
portion needed to reduce prices per-
c%cptibly. ON the whole. the Stimu-
lating effect of imports ON domestic
! production of animal food is likely to
change the cost of living more than
the direct addition.
In October and November, mostly
under the new tariff. animals import
cd for immediate slaughter, mostly
from Canada. amounted to about no.
600 and stockers and feeders for fat
i 100, 900. This is nearly three times
the imports for the similar period in
1918. about fifteen million pounds of
fresh and refrigerated beef came in
from Canada and Argentina. No com
parison is furnished with the year be-
fore. but the doubling from October
to November indicates an important
increase under the new tariff.
After all, the most significant addi-
ton to tho food supply of the country
is the opening of foreign ranges to
breed cattle cheaply for feeding in the
United States. These take the place
of the ranges i1nprovidcntly closed
and abandoned here. With restoration
OF peace, the supply of range cattle
for feeding should increase rapidly
and heavily from the almost !initless
pastures Of northern Mexico.
Before long the process will display
the folly of letting our domestic range
industry decay.
