LIVE STOCK SHORTAGE

The high prices for meat in Europe
have had disastrous effect upon the
live stock industry Of New Zealand,
says the Salt Lake Tribune, as well
as in some other parts of the world.
because of the tendency to dispose of
everything marketable when shipping
space could be secured. Accordingly
the draining of the supplies of the
country has been carried on to such
an extreme that great inroads have
been made upon the number Of
breeding animals and young stock.
The decrease in the fiocks and herds
in New Zealand has awakened fear
that there will not be sufficient ami
mails of this class to supply the needs
of the increased development of the
farming communities. AS the Gov
ernment now has control of the meat
export trade, it is declared that the
practice of killing so much young
stock will be checked.
If the European war continues an
other year or two, most of the coun-
tries involved in the struggle will
have few cattle, sheep or hogs left
with which to begin life on peace
basis, and it is more than probable
that the United States and Argentina,
the two principal neutral sources of
supply. will come out with greatly
diminished herds and focks. In fact
the whole world will be short in this
respect, and the prices of meat will
be high for years to come. and the
number of vegetarians will be greatly
augmented, not because the poorer
classes will have been converted, but
because they will be unable to pay
the prices asked. One way or an
other the people of all civilized coun-
tries are being taxed and will contin-
ue to be taxed for the horrifying
European war, which is becoming
more tremendous and more destruc-
tive every day. The pity of it is that
no matter how peacefully inclined
we are we cannot entirely escape the
blighting effects of the portentous
struggle on the other side of the At
lantic. Ifprices soar too high. how
ever, it would be possible to put an
embargo on the expectation of food
stutfs.
