BY N. p. BURTON.

Chicago, Dec. 14.-"Wholesale
slaughtering and meat packing consti-
tute the chief outlet for market stock
suitable for slaughter in the United
States. The most extensive develop
ment Of meat packing is found at Chi
cago and Missouri river points. The
total volume of the products of whole,
sale slaughtering and meat packing in
this country in 1914 was 1852, 1885,
424. Concentration of ownership is
one of the striking features of the
packing industry"
This is practically the opening para
graph in report on certain phases of
the current meat situation in the Unit
ed States just issued by the national
secretary OF agriculture. 1t recOg-
nizes, in direct wording the almost ex-
elusive control the few big Chicago
packers have on the meat trade of
America. Therefore, in dealing with
the packers, we would seem not to be
making false assumption in consider
ing them as the small neck of the bot
tie through which practically all meat
must pass from the reservoir of the
producer into the great American
home. For" the report continues,
probably two-thirds or more of the
beef, mutton and pork consumed is
the product of animals which pass
through the large, centralized mar
kets"
The important question for US to
consider here is what has brought
about this system of centralized mar
kets, one which has no counterpart in
any of the other livestock producing
countries of the world! Louis d.
Hall, noted government specialist in
this subject, analyzing the situation
for the United States department OF
agriculture, says:
Some Factors.
'Its development has been due pri-
marily to the fact that the livestock
industry is developed mainly in the
central and western states. while one.
half the population lives in the man
ufacturing region east of the Missis-
sippi and north of the Ohio and Pc.
tomac rivers. The expectation of
meat animals and meat products from
Atlantic ports has also contributed
largely toward the centralization of
livestock markets at points interme-
diate between these ports and the
areas of production (that Is, Chicago,
Kansas City, Omaha, etc.).
"Other factors which have exerted
like influence are:
Rapid extension of railroad. facili-
tating the shipment Of, stock from
grazing and feeding areas: the appli-
cation of refrigeration to the shipment
Of fresh meats, cutting down the cost
of distribution by the reduction of
bulk and shrinkage, besides making
1t possible to deliver meats to more
distant points and in better condition
than when shipped on foot; the in
vention of the tin can and its adapta-
tion to the preservation Of meats and
meat products in such form as to per-

CANCER | DISEASE Il||
NOT TRANSMITTED
BY INHERITANCE

Men and women who are in anxiety
of mind on account of the appearance
of cancer in their ancestry or immed-
late family, may dismiss such ankle
ties as there Is no statistical evidence
at the present time that the disease
of cancer is transmitted by inheri-
tance in mankind.
After two years study Of original in
surance statistics, this feature has
been brought to light, according to q
paper presented to the Association OF
Life Insurance Presidents by Presi-
dent Arthur Hunter of the Actuarial
Society of America.
