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

American stock breeders are being
asked TO conserve their docks 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 a disposition to
cooperate with the government in in
creasing the nations supply of live
stock
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 the invaded
territory - approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But in Englaud-Whcre 100000
acres of pasture lands have been turn
ed 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,
$17.76 per 100 pounds October, SIPS :;
November and December. Sl6.0S; jan
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 as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,S07 900 head of
cattle in 1913, she now has only r.
341, 900, a decrease of 1876 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 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.

Corn has become the nations NOM

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t is true that the English
man buys loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but it is poorer
bread, and the British government is
paying $2000OO,OOO a year toward the
cost of it.
All the grain grown in Great Brit
ain is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets al
the prevailing market price. This is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at a price that allows the adult
terated war bread loaf of four pounds
to sell at Is cents, the two pound loaf
at cents and the one pound loaf at 8
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
IS cents.

MAKING MEATLESS
DAYS PERMANENT

In the meatless menu there is a fer
tile field for developing new and nour-
lshing dishes, according to II. III. Niles,
writing in the Hotel Gazette, who be-
lieyes that the present shortage Of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming of peace, but may grow more
acute and continue for five or six
years, thus making It worth while to
develop menus Of grain, vegetables
and fish on more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods or may be
served In very small portions as a fla
yoring for other food In making up
meatless menus this author finds our

At state convention Of the
Farmers Union recently held in Spo-
kane, it was determined to secure a
representative on this committee. To
start this movement a committee of
10 is TO be selected, three from the
Farmers Union and Grange organiza-
ton OF Oregon Washington and
Idaho, the latter state, owing to its
geographical and Typographical con-
dltlons, being divided in the jurisdc-
ton of the Farmers Union between
the other states.
This committee will also attempt
to have the term, principal interior
primary markets defined. This may
go further than the naming of Coast
cities. The law uses two designa-
tons, principal primary markets"
and principal interior primary mar
kets.' Portland, Ore. is a principal
primary market, but it is not an in
terror market For a half century
Portland has been one of the import
| ant wheat markets Of the United
States, both for milling and export
ing. 1t has been practically the ex-
elusive market for all of Oregon and
! a considerable part of Washington
and some portions of Idaho.
can hardly conceive that it was
| the intention of Congress that the
| Portland price OF wheat should be
based on the Omaha market, which
would be an anomaly. Nor can |
believe that Portland is an interior
primary market. If so, why does
| the law use the terms principal pri-
mary markets and principal inter
ior markets? The answer is plain.
The interior primary (first) markets
are lower than the principal markets,
which are located at point of water
transportation. The New York mar
ket is higher than the Chicago mar
ket usually by the difference in
freight. The Portland market is
higher than the Walla WaIla mar
ket usually by the difference in
freight.

Voluminous Producers.

Most writer's recognized as pos
sessed OF genius or of great talent have
been voluminous producers, a London
writer states. In most cases their
talent or genius, as n rule, after being
stimulated by success, has literally TAX
en- possession OF them and forced them
to work hard and per%slstently. Bal
FAC used to have rages OF industry
lasting for many hours and leaving him
exhausted. Scott's prodlgious industry
was due mainly to his determination TO
pay of n henvy Indebtedness. Dickens
was ~mnryelously Industrious. But
T%hnckerny was lazy and used to suffer
greatly from the thought OF work un-
done. His RACES OF work were not vol
untary like Halzac's, but inspired by
desperateness. II Is the voluminous
workers who are most likely to strike
the unexpected veins, to make the
closest approximations to drawing on
their full resources"
