INCREASE sHoRT-FED CATTLE
To Save Feed. Department Of AOrieul
eurs Advises Against Too High
Finishing Of AnimalsL

prepared by tho United States Dspart.
ment Of Agriculture.)
In view Of the unfortunate expert
ence last winter Of some feeders Of
heavy cattle, the continued high price
Of grain and the uncertainty Of q con-
tinuation Of good prices which we'll
finished heavy carcasses now command,
the United States department Of agri-
culture believes that feeders should
concentrate their efforts on the produc-
tion of economically short-fed cattle.
OF course, this statement does not re-
fer to baby-beef production, which Is a
speciality within itself.
There Is no question that for the
last several years cattle feeders have
been making beef too fat; that is,
they have put more finish upon the
animals than economy would justify.
This idea was evidently In the minds
Of the advisory committee Of agri-
cultural and live stock producers ap-
pointed by the department Of agricul-
ture and the food administration when
that committee recently made the fol-
lowing recommendation:
I'VE feel that cattle marketed at
the present time in class 4 Clong-fed
or export and highly finished cattle).
and known as 'exports,' owing to the
high costs Of labor and feed, are not an
economical product, and their produc-
tion should not be encouraged"
Not only has the advisory commit
tee thus warned against the heavy
feeding Of cattle, but 1t IL also under
stood that the government ofacials d.
recting the buying policies Of the gov
ernment will not consider themselves
responsible for the prices Of very fat
cattle.
Recent experiences by various state
experiment stations and the United
States department Of agriculture have
borne out the fact that good beef can

The principle that should be avoided

agriculture, is to reduce to a minimum
the amount Of hish-priced feed and to
make Judicious use Of cheap rough
ages. In other words, instead Of feed

was the custom in the past, the guam

reduced to IS to 20 bushels in a short

The department believes that BY
avoiding too heavy feeding and too

gestions given above. feeders should
be able to feed cattle at a profit in
spite Of the high prices Of feed and

LEASE Of LIFE UNTIL SEPT. |
Probable That Time Given by Ruling of Secretary Baker
VIII Permit Major Leagues to Finish Season With
No Considerable Falling Off in Interest," Ex-
tension to October Is Denied by Baker.

UJASHNGTON D. c.. July 27.-Sec-
w Rotary Baker yesterday issued
an order giving professional baseball
players until September 1 TO seek es-
sentiaI employment or be called to the
coIora The request Of league owners
that the time be extended TO October
Is, was denied by lIr. Baker.
The secretary said the extension
was given because OF the representa-
tion that players may have been put
in a less favorable attitude than
others affected because Of their re-
lance on his statement the order
would not be decided until a case had
arisen. He made it plain that the
war department is interested solely
IN the strengthening Of the military
forces.
Provost marshal Gen. Crowder,
Mr. Baker said, had reported Il was
not clear the same would have TO be

made Immediately applicable. as only

While regarding It as unfortunate

serve IL nT making an exception In

DEEP MYSTERY
How a Really Good Club
Can Go Wrong, Story Of
Cincinnati Team.

The downfall Of the Cincinnati Reds
is one OF the biggest mysteries OF the
baseball season.
Last April as the teams lined up
for the start Of the National league
pennant race. the Reds stood out as
one Of the clubs that looked sure OF a
first division berth, and there were a
few writer's who went so far as 20
pick them as the pennant winners.
But the Reds today are not even
pennant contenders in the fun mean
ing Of the word, for they have per-
mitted other clubs to build up big
leads against their chances.
Matty had a ball club at the start
Of the season that looked like a sure
winner. In Roush, Neale. Sherry and
Lee Magee, Chase, Wingo. Groh,
Griffith. Money. schneI-
der. Regain and a few others the old
master had the nucleus OF what
looked like a hard driving club, es-
pecially with the bats and in the
pitching division, for the hurlers
mentioned here are all three noted for
a capacity for work Then came the
big pennant drive-a slashlnE, bril-
liant drive at the start for the Reds
and the slump that followed No
one has offered a satisfying solution
20 the predicament the Reds have got
into, and the problem remains un- I
solved.
But in justice TO the outstanding
players on the club, and TO Matty I
himself, It seems timely 10 say that I
The Reds are a much better bail club
than their standing indicates. Their I
plight Is just another instance Of a
good club going wrong.
