But in England-where 2,4OO, 900

ell into grain tields-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,
$177G per 100 pounds; October, S17.2S;
November and December, $1GOS; Jan
larry. $l+.4O. The effect Of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had l4,8O7, 900 head Of
cattle in 1913, she now has only T.
34l,000, d decrease Of 1865 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 hck Of necessary feed.
Close study Of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Ad-
ministvation that the future problem
Of America lies largely In the produc-
tion Of neat producing animals and
dairy products rather than In the pro.
duction of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.
