CHICAGO. Feb. is.-The refusal
Df eastern railroads 10 accept ship
ments. owing 10 the submarine en-
bargo. Is causing an almost unprece-
dcnted congestion OF loaded freight
cars In western terminals. according
10 oficIals OF various western trunk
lines.
Steps were being taken here to-
day 10 relieve the situation by adopt.
ing the measures taken by eastern
roads. From the operating depart.
ments OF several OF the western
roads went out orders TO refuse ship
ments billed to destinations east OF
Chicago or the Atlantic seaboard.
unless guarantees OF storage facili-
ties were presented.
In Chicago yards. according to Of
ncials OF the Rock Island. there are
more than 900 loaded cars consigned
10 the Atlantic seaboard from points
on the Rock Island alone. Most OF
these contain grain for export. East.
ern roads will not handle them until
swift clearance Is assured. At other
Rock Island terminals are ZOO add

Northwestern officials also admit
that they are facing a problem in
Keeping their rolling stock moving

In Kansas City shippers describe
The situation ~ the worst In tho his

BY r. r. PANKrEY


(Note-Former Senator Pankey, of

Santa Fe county and one of the chief
cattle-growers of New Mexico. He is
chairman of the Livestock Committee

The problem Of wheat, while serious
enough, is not the greatest of Ameri-
cas- food-supply problems. Wheat can
be made into a bread within a year
after the crop is sown.
The potato is another food product
which is especially valuable this year;
but the potato may be made ready
for consumption in about one third
of a year.
Wheat, again, is a product which
may be held in storage indefinitely,
and whose deterioration is only slight
after a number of years.
In my opinion the most serious
problem confronting us at the present
time is the actual shortage of meat
products. With best beef cattle, sheep
and hogs in the principal markets at
almost 20 cents per pound live weight,
the indications are that there will be
a further advance in such meats.
1t is important that some plan be
devised to meet the situation now. 1t
is true hat sheep and hogs may be
produced within a year for consump-
ton; but what about beef, which is
more largely used than either mutton
or pork, when it requires from two to
four years to get cattle ready for the
consumer? Cattle are being con.
sumed now much faster than they are
being produced because our ranges are
not producing beef as they did in
former years. The great cattle ranges
are a thing Of the past. Settlers have
come in in large numbers and taken
up lands formerly Occupied by cattle
r~aisers. These settlers are very de-
sirable; they assist in building up
u great state, and we welcome them.
Eventually, they will solve the prob
lem of the shortage OF beef, as each
will naturally produce as many cattle
as his range will permit. But it will be
several years before he ear become a
factor in beef production; ne has to
first improve his homestead and put
down wells; it is bound to be several

that the communities quotas of men
called to the colors must be taken

Whether this can be cured by legis-

government would like to relieve the
situation by other means. and as there
are treaties In force which prevent the
aliens from Japan, Serbia and Italy

1t was explained that no complaint had
been made as to the quality Of the raw
materials for the nurses meals, but that
the complaint was in regard to the care
