Delaware today Is observing its nrst
meatless day. It's a new thing, and
created a decided sensation ia some
restaurants, but the proprletors Of all
eating houses, as far as could be OBJ
served this morning, were keeping their
pledge made last week to the Food Ad-
ministration and were serving their pa
irons no meats.
Fish and fowl were substituted on
the bill Of fare. One inquiry made
early this morning TO food officials
was from a restaurant proprietor ask

AOOver's Stirring Appeal to Nation To Enter
On Worlds Greatest Adventure in Democracy

cratic decree, but without other re-
straint than the guidance Of individ-
ual conscience. On the success of this
unprecedented adventure in democ-
racy will largely stake the issue Of
the war. We are asking every house
holder, every hotel, restaurant and
dealer in f~oodstuffs, in the Nation, to
become a member of the food admins
tration for conservation; and to pledge
themselves to follow insofar as cir
cumstances permit, the suggestions
that will be offered from time to
time as to measures of food saving.
For us there is no threat of priva-
ton. We wish only hat our people
should eat plenty, but wisely, and
without waste. Wisdom in eating is
to make possible such adjustments in
our food consumption and exports to
our Allies. By elimination of waste we
serve ourselves economically and
morally.
81 therefore appeal to the churches
and to the schools for their assistance
in this crusade; to all the organiza-
lions for defense, local and national;
to all the agencies, commercial, social
and civic, that they join the admins
tration in this work for the funda-
mental safety of the Nation.
(Signed) HERBERT HOOVER"
Western liberal. (Lordsburg, N.M.) 1887-1919, 1917-10-19

Herbert Hoover, food administra-
tor, has issued the following state
ment inaugurating the food pledge
week of October % to Nov. 4: s.
THE week Of Oct. 2S-Nov. 4, has
been selected for a Nationwide cam
paign to complete the enrolment of
our forces in conservation of our food
supply. The harvest is now in hand
and we can measure the worlds re-
sources. The available supplies of this
harvest are less than last year; the
demand upon us is greater than last
year and from the last harvest we ex-
ported more than we could really af-
ford. We can only meet the call upon
is next year by saving and by sub
stitution of commodities which can
not be transported. The Allies are
our first line of defense; they must
be fed; and food will win the war.
All Europe is on rations or restricted
supplies; only in u own country is
each one permitted to judge for him
self the duty he owes his country in
food consumption, although the world
depends upon us to guard and pro-
vide its food supply. This is a duty
of necessity, humanity, and of honor.
AS a free people we have elected to
discharge. this duty, not under auto
Western liberal. (Lordsburg, N.M.) 1887-1919, 1917-10-19

Why not make a sacrifice and have
two meatless days each week; for in
stance, Tuesdays and Fridays. At
least one-half of our people now do
not eat meat on Fridays; but why not
the other half? Go them one day bet
ter and add another meatless day.
This would soon allow the production
of beef to overtake the consumption,
and in this way we who are not called
on to shoulder arms in defense of our
country may be of some aid in win
ming the great wal we are now en-
gagged in for democracy and freedom
for future generations. It is the duty
of every patriot to deny himself some
thing; that by this aid he may be of
some service toward the ultimate vic
tory, which will surely be ours, and
which will come sooner if we all help
in the conservation of meats, so that
our soldiers who are actually in the
line of battle may have this susten-
ance so much needed If they are to be
fit for duty in the field. Their are
thousands of mothers who would deny
themselves meat every day in the
week if they knew their IONS would
be benefited by such denial.
1t is a fact. We must all deny our
selves in order that our boys may be
benefited The situation may not
seem serious to some of us now, but
within a year this beef shortage will
prove to be extremely serious unless
we begin the conservation of meat
now.
l have e~ndeavored to present the
case as l see it, and am willing to be
criticised if the facts can be brought
out thereby to the end hat our peo-
pie may be advised and study the
conservation of meat.

What profit can there be in keeping
a steer for the six winter months when
his weight does not increase a single
pound and he makes only a small
growth? Besides, during these six
months I speak Of there is a loss from
black leg, poverty and other causes
Of at least Is per cent.
Predatory Animals.
There is another great loss to our
beef producers and cattle raisers
which is greater than we are really
aware of and that is the loss from
predatory animals; the mountain lion,
bear, panther, wolf or lobo, the latter,
in my opinion, being our worst enemy.
l have known of one wolf killing as
many as fifty head of cattle during
n winter season, and he was a three
legged wolf at that, one of his front
legs having been cut off in a trap. He
is now too wary to go near a trap.
Four of the best known hunters in
New Mexico have spent much time
for more than a year trying to trap
one wolf. Such ~depredations cause a
great loss to the cattlemen, and the
present wild animal bounty plan is not
adequate to stop these ravages. At
some future time l may suggest a
plan which I think will rid the state
of these predatory animals to some ex-
tent.
Eat Less Meat.
There is within our power another
NEAR for the conservation of beef;
n which lies entirely within the
control of each individual. We are a
nation Of meat eaters; we eat twice
as much meat as we should for good
we would eat meat only ono a day.

Western liberal. (Lordsburg, N.M.) 1887-1919, 1917-10-19

Meanwhile, while we are waiting Tor
the producer to come to our relief,
we must devise some immediate means
of meeting the shortage Of beef which
actually exists and which will become
acute within two years. Everyone will
admit that beef is high because of the
present shortage, but what shall the
remedy for this shortage be?
A Temporary Remedy.
l can suggest only a temporary
remedy; and I am not sure that my
plan would prove entirely satisfactory
or bring the results desired. New
Mexico and Arizona are two of the
greatest cattle producing states where
cattle live the entire year on ranges
without other feed than grasses in
winter, these grasses being highly
nutritious. But this year there has
beeD a deficiency in rainfall over most
of the area of the two states. Not
only so. but in other cattle producing
states there is a serious lack of grass
with which to feed cattle nov on the
ranges. Alfalfa and cottOn-seed meal
are too high to be fed to these cattle
without great cost. In view of this
situation am strongly of the opinion
that cattle breeders should sell off all
their steer cattle, including steer
calves and old COWS, so that their
breeding herds can have more grass;
so that they will not be compelled to
nourish a big strong calf which would
sell in the market for $25 or $50 and
which will actually weigh more on
November first that if kept on the
range for six months longer. This
will also apply to steers of other
ages.
Feeding viii Double Weight.
These cattle, If sold to Kansas, Ne
braska and Missouri farmers, will
nearly double in weight If shipped to
these states and put in feed lots,
where they will have plenty of the
feed that these states produce.
The feeders in the middle states
are anxious to buy these cattle and
are swarming the markets of Kansas
City and Omaha in search of this class
of cattle. But If these cattle are sold
directly to the feeders of these states
from our ranges, it will be necessary
for them to go through s~tockyards
where yardage, commission, addition
al freight and other expenses take
from the producer from two dollars
to five dollars per head. The ques-
ton will naturally be asked, how may
these buyers or feeders be reached?
List With Association
My suggestion is, that the cattle
man list what he has for sale with
the New Mexico Cattle and Horse
Growers Association at Albuquerque,
which costs nothing. The Associa-
ton will advertise briefly in the Kan
sas and Nebraska papers to the eff
feet that they have a list of persons
having cattle for sale which they can
furnish IN application. This would
elicit many inquiries from buyers who
could be put into direct communica-
ton with the seller; and better prices
could be obtained than by putting the
cattle on an open market, which is apt

Washington, Jan. 26.-An exchange
OF greetings between. Secretary Dan

The new station has a power two

Alaska and the Philippines looking to-
ward the ultimate establishment of

Washington to all American terri
tories.
