NEED E:: BIC IL HERDS R.
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Even
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food. y

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their focks and
herds In order to meet Europe's, tre-
mend0us demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward. t..@....s'E
The United States food admins.
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown a., disposition to
cooperate with the government in in
creasing the nations supply Of live:
stock. II i ~ /. l.%.:.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock 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 4 the invaded,
territory - approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines. S,gs
But In England-where 100000
acres of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain f1elds-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
$17.7e per 100 pounds October, SIPS; ;
November and December, $1808; JAM
larry, $14.4O. 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 FraAce had 14,807 900 head Of
cattle in 1913, she now has only r.
S4i 300, a decrease of 1853 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 Nof 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 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 -.

as was never known before. Tons of corn. Train,

Spanish Influenza in camps will re-

of not sending any men overseas who

Interest In the draft Is now focused
upos probable future calls to the col
ors of the Sept. IL registrants between
the ages Of 81 and As.
The exceptional speed with which
the Glass l men Of the 10 to SO group
are being placed makes 1t likely that
this class will be exhausted much
sooner than expected
1t Is certain that the 37-45 class will
be called for the 100000 men which
the nation has pledged to have in
France by next July.
1t Is understood the older registrants
will be called in two groups. The con-
