The destruction OF possible food sup

Ethelbert Stewart. chief statfstician OF

save the calves
The 100000 calves Slaughtered in
the last six years means tho loss OF
millions of pounds of food that would
have resulted from tho keeping Of these
calves until they were matured. accord

AS to the amount of waste food In.
volved In this slaughtering OF calves.

Is ninety pounds on the average. while
the dressed beef weight from two
and-a-half-year-old steer IL 900 pounds
THE legislation that you propose would
save to the American people $500. 00o, 900
pounds of beef par year. which. under the
British dietary regulations furnishing one

beef contains 1.o40 calortes OF food en-

ginning. Its food was selected to produce
bone quickly. 1t was kept growing and
kept fat from the start, and it was found
that in from ten to twelve months calves
could be transformed into what are
called baby besves' at an expense far
less than that of cattle raising on
western ranches. and that at from ten
to twelve months old a calf would
weigh from 500 to 900 pounds and dress
500 pounds of meat"

The corn ground under the older meth

the ones who can use this food to the
best advantage.
Our European allies, with the exception

to spend energy and time teaching them
to do that which We already willingly do.
Is 1t worth the effort when our allies are

Of the use.

We should also remember that in
France nearly all the breads are made in
bakeries outside the home. The baking
apparatus and the bakers themselves are
equipped and trained to use wheat, rye
and barley flours. They know nothing Of
the use OF cornmeal Therefore. 1t would
be almost wasting our cornmeal to send
