Need Big HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Even
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their nocks and
herds in order to meet Europe's ire
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown u disposition TO
cooperate With the government i'll in.
creasing the nations supply of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stool. than any 9th
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory = Approximately 100000
head--were driven behind the German
lines.
But in England-whcle 2.400000
acres OF pasture lands nave been turn
ed into grain felds--the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. one of the
reasons apparently is the DECLINING
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
Sits per 100 pounds; October, S1T2S;
November and December, Sl6.0S; jan
l.ry, Sl440 THE effect Of these prices
was to drive beef animals ON the mar
ket as soon SIS possible.
In France the number Of cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14SQ7 900 head of
cattle in 1913, she now has only H.
341 500 a decrease Of 1876 per cent.
And France is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced TO sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack of necessary feed
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Ad-
ministration that the future problem
of America lies largely ia the produc-
ton OF meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than IN the pro
duction OF cereals for export when
the war VIII have ceased.
