NEED BIC HERDS
Europe. Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock At Enormous Rate, Eve,
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 . disposition to
cooperate with the government In In
creasing the nations supply Of live
stock.
Germany today ID probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies rade 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-where 100000
acres Of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain nelds-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
reasons apparently IL the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English az follows: For September.
$17.78 per 100 pounds; October. ST. T:
November and December. $16O6; Jam
larry, $14.40. The effect Of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number Of cattle a.
well as the quality have shown an
enormouA decline during the war.
Where France had 14,SO7 600. head OF
cattle in 1913, she now has only 49,
341. 900. a decrease Of 1873 per cent.
And France IL 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 Adj
minIstration that the future problem
Of America lies largely in the produc.
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
duction Of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

1t contains all the elements needed to
keep the body In state Of health and
when used according to the scores bf
tried recipes. especially when COM
bIned with an added portion Of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In.
dian warriors In colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days Mt a
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration OF
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now. however. the cereal
il reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
Today there are approximately 80
bushels Of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by ave bush
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay In the crisis Of war.
Just rs this cereal saved the first
American colonists from famine on
many occasions. Just as 1t served as a
staple food during the War Of the Rev
olution and during the Civil War. King
Corn has again come to the front In
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal Is finding greatly lncreas-
ed use In the making Of ordinary white
I. bread. Hundreds Of housewives and
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
flour to make ieavened bread. This
kind OF mixture Is worked and baked
In the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread-using corn meal entire
ly-is gaining greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound Of
wheat saved In America means pound
Of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America II associ-
ated In the war.
There are score of corn products
that today possess unusual Importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use in the kitchen instead Of
Rranulnted sugar is one Of the leading
products made from corn.
