IMPORTED CATTLE need
CAREFUL ATTENTION
TEXAS CATTLE ACCUSTOMED TO
HIGHER ALTITUDE AND DIFF.
FERENT FEED.
DRY FEED IS ESSENTIAL
These Cattle viii Do Well In Louis
lana II Handled Prop
erly.

Success or failure with the thou
sands of head of Texas cattle that
have been brought into Louisiana will
laraely descend on thn methods -
handling they receive FOR the first sax
to twelve months. They come from
a higher altitude and a country OF
much lighter rainfall. They have
lived on dry, strong grass, which con-
tains much less water per 100 pounds
than do the grasses of their new pas
lures.
The change is certain to affect them
and the succulent grasses win prob
ably cause looseness OF the bowels.
They must be carefully handled dur
ing the period of naturalization, or
serious damage may result. Young
stock (yearlings and calves) will usu-
ally suffer less than older animals.
Careful attention is particularly
necessary with the cattle which are
being moved from Texas this fall.
Winter upon us, and the winter
season, even in the South, makes
feeding necessary. even with native
stock. This is still more true with
the Texas cattle which are spending
their first winter in the State. To
lessen the severity of acclimatization.
plenty of dry feed, such as hay, straw,
stover, or access to corn stalk and
ve.ycs bean fields, should be given.
When spring ccn1es on, the cattle
should not be forced to subsist at
once en- grass alone. but should be
given some s;,c,l dry feed in addition.
Young cattle shout by all means
-ccei9e good care They should get
plenty Of cry roughag5 and some con
centrate in addition in order that they
may develop well. One pound Of cot
| sons6ccd moal or two to two and one
lshalf pounds of velvet beans or velvet
bean meal daily, with plenty of hay,
should carry them through in good
condition.
With EN- abundance Of hay, straw or

Reason for World Shortage.
AS Mr.. Hoover pointed out, the
United States, Canada and England
we're sugar importing couHtries before
the war, while France and Italy were
very nearly self SUPPORTING. The main
sources of the worlds sugar supply
was Germany and neighboring powers.
the West Indies and the East Indies.
German sugar is no longer available,
as It is used entirely In Germany,
which also ahsorbs sugar Of surround
Ing countries.

Tong tons OF sugar each year from
Germany. The French sugar produc-
tion has dropped from 10000 to 21O,-
900 tons. The Italian production has
fallen from 10000 tons to 1900 tons.
Thus three countries were thrown
upon East and West Indian sources
for 1925, 900 tons annually to maintain
their normal consumption.
Because of the worlds shipping
shortage the allied nations started
drawing on the West Indies for sugar;
East Indian sugar took three times
the number of ships, since the dis
tance was three times as great. Sud
denly the west was called on to fur
nish and did furnish 100000 tons Of
sugar to Europe when 300, ,00C tons a
year was the pre-war demand. The
allies had drawn from Java 100000
tons before. the shipping situation be-
came acute.
"In spite of these shipments" Mr..
Hoover stated the other day. "the
English government in August reduced
tie household sugar ration to a basis
81 "a pounds per annum per capita.
And in September the French govern
ment reduced their household ration
to 13 2-10 pounds year, or bit over
/ pound of sugar month. Even this
meagre ration could not be filed by
the French government II. was found
carly In the fall. America was then
asked for 100000 tons of sugar and
succeeded in sending S5,G00 tors by
, December 1. The French request was
granted because the American house

pounds per, person. and IT was ce'.''t

Today the sugar situation r'7y

America will reduce It's sugar COZ
sumption 10 to IS per cent. this
nation will be able to send zoo, coo
more soldiers to France.
Sugar today sells at seaboard re-
finerles at $7.25 hundred pounds.
The wholesale grocer has agreed to
limit his profit TO 25 cents hundred
plus freight, and the retaA grocer is
supposed to take no more than 80 cents
hundred pounds profit. This regu-
lation was made by the food adminis-
tration, which now asks the housewife
to reduce sugar consumption as much
MS possible, using other sweetefers,
and also reminds her that she should
say no more than cents pound for
sugar.

Sugar Cost 35 ccnts Pound During
Civil iVar--Ecfiners' Profits
New curtaiIed.

Sugar is selling today throughout
America at from Sh 10 o cents a
pound to the consumer, even though
there is world shortage which has
reduced this nations sugar allotment
to 20 per cent. of normal.
Through the efforts of the United
States food administration the sugar
market has been regulated as far as
the producer refiner and wholesaler
is concerned. The food administration
has no power to regulate retail prices
except by public opinion. Even though
more than $1,000 tons OF sugar have
been shipped to France in the last
four months the retail grocer's sugar
price is around 8. to 6h cents. BE
should sell this sugar at 8h to 8
cents, the food administration believes,
and asks the American housewife to
pay nc more than this amount.
Last August when the food admin
istration was organized the price OF
sugar rose suddenly to IL cents a
pound. During the Civil War sugar
cost the consumer 35 cents pound.
BY regulation Of the sugar market and
reducing the price to 81a and Q cents
and keeping 1t from advancing to 20
cents the food administration has saw
ed the American public at least $780,

q statement made by Herbert Hoover
the other day.
1T Is our stern duty to feed the al
Iieg, to maintain their health and

COAL B(O]T SEEN
FROM PRICE FIXING
Thorne Tells Senators Prof.
IFS of Operators Are
Excessive
MAKE MILLION
A DAY PROFITS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. - Clifford
Thorne, Of Chicago, who told the Sen
ate investigating committee yesterday
/ he had made a study OF the coal situ-
alton in the last six months, declared
Government price-flxing had advanced
prices that operators were making OK
cessive profits and that the public did
not have sufficient voice in govern
mental investigation to gain data for
price regulation.
Mr.. Thone did not charge favorltism
in prices TO the private consumer or
railroads and large public utilities. but
he did testify the National Union Coal
Company at Ward, Ia. was selling 100
tons of coal daily to the Government
at Camp Dodge at a price - per cent
greater than IL was charging for i5O
tons Of the same kind Of coal dellv-
cred daily TO the Burlington Railroad.
Thorne estimated the coal operators
profits now aggregated Si,OO0,OO0 a day.
With competition in the IlllnoisN field
N August, 1916, the average price for
black coal was 81 % and the price now
under Government regulation is sl.7O.
he said. His investigation convinced
him 10 would be advisable to close
many small mines having high produc-
tion costs
Thorne said he made his investiga-
tion for the Public Utilities Bureau Of
Philadelphia and for The Iowa section
Of the Electric Light Association. In
Iowa coal operators testified at State
investigation that Government prices
would allow them profits many times
greater than they had been able 10
make previously In Illinois, he said
certain operators werel allowed 90
charge Sl95 when their own cost
sheets showed they could produce It

Il think the Government operation
of railroads will tend TO improve the

but the Government operation Of rail
roads will not render the slightest as
