EvADE RIGID FOOD CONTROL.
Food Ia Bought In Germany surreptl'
tlousIy In Violation Of Auto
cratic RULINGS.

Even the autOcratic food control Of
Germany has been powerless to pre-
vent surrep4itious sales, according to
semi-eficial reports reaching the Unit
ed States food administration. Illegal
sales of butter are being made in Ger
many at prices ranging from $1.76 tq
1925 a pound. Eggs sold contrary ia
the German food regulations are
bringing 10 to 1D cents apiece, accord
ing to these reports. And bacon Oi
ham is bringing from 1928 to 1925 &
pound.

BIC HERDS CONE
World War Wastes Europe'I
Meat Supply.
American Stock Ralsero Cooperate
With Food Administration In Con-
seFVatlOn Measures.

1t is probable that Europe for many
years after the war will look to a
great extent to America for its meat
supply.
EurOps's herds are dwlndllng under
wars demands faster than they can be
replenished.
When the German armies retired
from occupied portions of France and
Belgium approximately 100000 head
OF cattle were appropriated. This ad-
ditiOn virtually safeguarded Germany
from cattle shortage other nations noE
suffer.
In England some 100000 acres OF
grass lands have by compulsory meas.
Gres been forced into grain production,
thus reducing pasturage and hay lands.
A declining scale of maximum meat
prices for live cattle was ordained IN
England, as follows: For Sep anaar
Sits per hundred pounds; Oc,obe..
Sl72S; November and December.
$160S, and for January, Sl4.4O. The
evident intent OF this measure was to
drive the beef animals into market as
soon 40 possible.
According to oficiRl French figures
the cattle OF France have decreased to
u total Of 1884 800 as compared with
1880, 900 in 1918. Today, due to lack
ef forage principally, France is pro-
ducing emily one gallon o6 milk where
before the war two and One-half gal
Ions were produced.
Meantime the United States food ad-
minlgtratiOn has taken steps to con-
serve our hOcks and herds and to In
crease their numbers. The stock breed
.ers Of this country show a disposition
to cooperate with the government in
this.
Fer many years 1t has been q prac-
tice among many OF the dairy people
OF this country to kill male calves at
birth and In many instances the fe-.
males II not needed to replenish their.
herds rather than go to the expense or
maturing them into veal. The high
prices of meat caused the virtual dis
continuance Of this killing. Another
encouraging fact is IS per cent. Of
calves killed for veal this year were
males
Somebody has very aptly said that
the wars of the werld have been won
with grease, meaning that bacon and
lard have been as essential to success
in war as powder, which Is true.
The hogs Of Europe have been very
greatly sacrificed to present day needs.
This makes the American burden all
the more heavy and makes dOubly es-
sential an increased pork production
in this nation. In Italy grain is now
forbidden to be fed to hogs. In Den
mark under a recent order One-fourth
OF the hogs were ordered to be killed.
1t is estimated that ons-half have now
been killed.
