AMERICAN FARMERS
MUST RAISE LIVESTOCK

Ogden, Jan. 27.-How serious are
the food conditions in Europe and.
particularly, the shortage of meats
and fats. is shown by the fact that the
peace conference in Paris Is giving
nrst consideration to the methods of
supplying relief for practically all the
lands OF Europe and that the United
States congress Is passing bill pro-
vlding for a large appropriation
one hundred million dollars-to send
some of this help across the seas.
The effect OF this food shortage
will be felt for more than two years
IN Americas livestock markets. ac-
cording to livestock men who have
studied the situation. Large impor-
tations OF meat and pork products
from the United States thus lessening
the Strengthening of native. animals,
VIII be the most effective means OF
restoring the depleted animal herds
OF the United Kingdom. France and
Italy.
Such is the opinion of DR.. Vernon
kellogg OF the United States Food
Administration who Is now in France.
The opinion lie one that has been gem
eral lily accepted by the Entente allies
md America,
To supply this deficiency of meat
and to assure the building up OF the
herds, America will be called upon
for continued heavy shipments. These
shipments will keep the livestock
market at a high point. To raise
cattle. sheep and hogs win therefore
be the most profitable method of
handling farms for two years-divh
dends will be absolutely assured to
the man who produces livestock.
