States since the census Of 1910 indi-
Gates clearly that the business is not
profitable to producers; otherwise ev.
cry farmer and stock raiser in the
country would have increased his
herds Of meat animals. 1t should also
be borne in mind that the estimated
average value of meat animals is
their value ON the farm, and not the
wholesale or retail value. The farm
value, or average price received on
farms, is much less than the whole
SHE prices and considerably less than
the retail prices to consumers.
Just what the difference is between
the ly:ce at the farm and the cost
to the ultimate consumer is not def
.dtely known, as the slaughtering rec
,rds are not definitely determinable
4, this time. The total cost to the
consumer is made up Of the cost of
production Of the live stock farm
price,. the cost Of marketing and
transportation of the live animals.
the cost Of manufacture into various
kinds Of meats, and the cost Of mar.
ket!nx and distributing the manufac.
taied products to the consumer.

number Of mich cows on farma in

Growing, Storing and
Marketing Potatoes

next years seed. BY selecting the
very best seed from year to year, and
planting on the most favorable soil
it has been found possible 70 lessen
the depth Of the eye, to improve size
and quality. and to largely increase
the production.
II potatoes are very abundant some
plant whole seed. The more usual
method. however, Is to plant one
half to one-Quarter of the potato and
some cut to two eyes.
Marketing
Under the old method of market
ing, it was not unusual to sell the
larger and better potatoes and plant
the smaller. The potatoes were also
sacked without regard to size and
sometimes mixed varieties were
placed in the same sack Under the
present methods Of selling potatoes
are marketed in three grades. The
blue tag grade is marketed in sacks.
The blue grade comprises potatoes
sound, clean, with not more than
five per cent of irregularity in size
and shape, no second growth, and
only one variety in sack. These
potatoes are medium size, and should
sell on any market. The extra fancy
grade comprises large potatoes, with
shallow eyes, good surface, and &c
largely to high class hotel trade. All
effort has been made this season tc
market an especially choice grade ot
white potatoes, very even in size and
form, in boxes. A certain class OF
trade will even pay the cost of wrap
ping these potatoes in paper. These
boxed and wrapped potatoes at this
time are selling at from eighty te
ninety-five cents per box.
Highest yields have been secured
from the variety called Idaho Rural
potato very similar to Rural New
Yorker, Carmen No. 2, and White
Pearl. In order of productiveness
these are followed by Melted Gem
and Burbank Early Ohio and
Eureka are planted for early.
Cellar Storage
Since the railroads cannot be ex
pected to supply a sufficient humble
" cars to move the potato crop di
rectly from the field, the association
will this season make a special effor
to have large storage developed suit
allie for handling at least half of tn
,rol. In cellar storage grading ca
be carried on all winter, and by liz
ing the cars with paper and straw
potatoes can be safely shipped t.
Southern points during the white
period. The shipping association
endeavors to distribute the crop yer,
widely and to reach many market

1910. Meanwhile the average farm
price of mich COWS has increased
from $3.50 in 1910 to 1894, or an
increase of 5O.7 per cent. On this
basis tho farm value of mich COWS
now in the United States is estimat-
ed at $1,118, 487, 900 as compared
with an estimated value in the cen
sus year of 1913. 1874, 900. an increase
of $3.50, 100000, or an average an
nual increase for four years of $685..
075, 00O.
The estimates for January l, 1914,
indicate that there are 20,955, 900
horses and 4,447,0O0 mules on farms
in the United States, On average on
nual increase of about IA per cent
over the number shown by the census
of 1910. 1t is estimated that the av-
eragc farm price Of horses has in
creased from $108.19 in the census
year to $109.33 in January. 1914, aid
in the case Of mules from $119.S4 tn
$123.S4 in the same period. On this
basis the total farm value Of horses
is 1921 900, 900 and of mules $780,
697, 900. The total estimated farm
valuo of these animals is therefore
81, S41, 697 900. which is an increase
Of $191, 464 900 over the census year
and represents an annual increase Of
wealth from these sources Of 49,
s6s, 900.

This increase in the average value
Of meat animals. however, does not
necessarily mean that farmers or
stock raisers are making more if any
profit. On the contrary, the cost of
production has probably increased
more rapidly than the increase in the
selling price of i've stock.
The shortage OF meat animals is
probably due to number Of contrib
uting causes. Some of the more i'm
portant Of these are:
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 for
age 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. .,;y
The increase 81 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
It poor marketing facilities, result
ing from many local slaughtering es-
Establishments having been driven out

from disease or accident, and uncer'
tain prices the following year.,
Enormous lossss from hog cholera.
| TIE competition Of higher prices
for other farm products.
The extent Of the influence Of these
various causes Of shortage singly OF
combined is not definitely known and
will undoubtedly be considered by
the committee recently appointed by
the secretary Of agriculture to inves
isate the economies Of the present
meat situation.
Meat Raising Not Profitable
| 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. It is vel
known that producers of farm pro
ducts 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 prospect of realizing better re
turns. The very fact that there ii

Shortage Of Meat Animals
in the United States I Heavy

Washington, D. c., Feb. 5.-The
indicated total shortage of meat ami
mails since the census of 1910 is near
ly nine beef cattle, seven sheep and
over three hogs for each 100 of the
total estimated population of the
United States in January, 1914, &C.
cording to the estimates of the De-
partment Of Agriculture just publish
ed in the Agricultural Outlook. This
means that 1t would take 1929 900
more meat cattle, sheep and swine
than the estimates show at present
in this country, to give the present
population the same meat supply that
the census of 1910 showed to exist
These estimates are based upon re
ports and estimates from the depart
ment's field and state agents and
county, township and special CORE
spondents. who have reported on
practically every county in the. United
State. The figures : moreover have
been compared with those Of the cen
sus Of 1910 and with the records of
tax assessors in tho various states as
far as they are available. The de-
partment therefore believes that
these figures represent the best in
formation obtainable on the numbers
and values Of live stock. including
meat animals.
The estimates with regard to meat
animals, that is, cattle other than
mich cows, and sheep and swine, in
dicate a steady and fairly uniform
decrease In the number Of meat cattle
and sheep and a slight increase in the
number Of swine.
The actual figures Of decrease or
increase as stated above, however, do
not take into consideration the in
crease in the population Of the United
States, and therefore do not show
the difference in the ratios between
meat animals and population as be
tween January. 1914. and the census
year Of 1910. The report of the last
census shows, population in 1910 Of
9l,s72,000. and estimates an annual
increase subsequent TO 1910 that
would make the population in 1914
equal to 9S,646,0o0.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
estimates show there is actually q
decrease Of 100000 food animals
since the census Of 1910. the esti
mated farm vaue of the cattle, sheer
and swine on farms on January
1914, shows an increase, because o.
higher prices.
The increase is due to the fact that
the estimates show that the farm
value Of beef cattle has increased
from $19.07 to $31.13 head, or 63.i
per cent, an average annual increase
of over Is per cent. Swine have in
creased in value from $9.17 to $1O.4(
per head, or 1874 per cent. Sheel
have decreased from an estimated av
erage farm value of $4.12 in 1910 t.
$4.04 in 1914.
