ment pointed out, does not neces-
sarily mean that a farmer or stock
raiser is making more or any pro-
fit. On the contrary, the cost OF
productionprobably has increased
more rapidly than the increase in
the selling price of livestock.
Producers of farm products are
the last to receive any benefit
from higher prices paid by con-
sumers, yet they are among the
first to increase production if
there is a prospect of realizing
better returns. "
"The fact that there is pres
ent shortage of nearly 19, 900, 900
meat animals in the United Stat
es since the census of 1910 indi-
Gates clearly the business is not
profitable to producers. -
The scarcity of meat animals is
attributed by department experts
to the encroachment of farms up
on range territory, lack of prop
er range leasing law, shortage in
the corn and forage crop in Kan
sas, Nebraska and Oklahoma, in
creased value of land and of
higher cost of labor and of stock
feed, decline in stock raising on
farms in the east and south, be-
cause of poor marketing facilities,
the temptation to sell livestock at
prevailing high prices, and enor-
nous losses from hog cholera.
