SAYS MEAT PRICES
SHOULD Be LOWER
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
SAYS PRODUCERS GET LESS
AND MEAT REMAINS HIGH.
ADVISE FEDERAL CONTROL
Says Save Food Signs should Be Dir
regarded az to Meat and
Wheat Products Because
Of Oversupply.

Washington. = Federal supervision
of the packing, sale and distribution
of meat products was declared by the
Department of Agriculture to be the
only solution for the present situa-
ton, in which meat prices to the con
sumer are so high that he is denying
himself and in which prices for live
stock, especially beef and lambs are
so low that the producer is losing
money. n
The department emphasized that
save food" signs should now be dis
regarded as to meat. especially beef.
and wheat products. Faced by the
largest wheat crop ON record and vita
many cattle raised in response to the
demand for meat production for the
army now maturing. the department
says that the American people must
realize that no necessity for conser-
walton of such foods any longer ex-
lists.
A survey OF the meat price situa-
ton, the department said. reveals
that the present excessive retail
prices are not JUSTIFIED by wholesale
quotations. Prices to the producers
have declined since the war, 1t was
said, but prices paid by the consum-
or have not materially lessened. The
only solution. the department be-
lieves, Is more strict federal supervt
sion.
The entire meat situation. based on
conferences with senators and repre-
sentatives from livestock producing
regions was summarized BY the de
partment as follows:
Europe needs our surplus porn
but Is filling its beef requirements by
importations from South America anc
Australia. Prices Of beef cattle nave
fallen sharply since March 1, on &C
count Of the stoppage Of exports fo'
army use and q slack demand TO

Ouimet Defeated By, Platt
In a Match Ended By Rain
After Enjoying "a Hours Favorite for Championship
Honors, Oufmet Falls to Defeat-Match SEN
sational as That of Wednesday

Pittsburgh, Pa, August 21.--After a
Neutrality-suspicious. reign as favorite for
championship honors in the national am
ateur tournament being played at the
Oakmont club, Francis Ouimet, late this
afternoon, was elinlinted by j. Wood
Plat, North Hills club, Pa, up, on the
3Sth hole. The defeat of the woodland
club star by Plat was as sensational
golfing feat as the contest that
marked the passing of Chick Evans yes
terday at the hands of Ouimet. AS a
setting to the match terrific thunder
storm burst over players and spectators
just after the New England expert had
squared the contest on the home green,
and the two extra holes were fought out
in a pouring rain that drenched the con-
testantS and gallery.
1t was the second heavy storm of the
day, and as result the course was
badly slowed up, both green's and fair
ways being dead, which conditions were
reflected in the play of all the golfers
participating in the third round. Com
pared with his work of Wednesday
against Evans, Ouimet's play fell off
badly. His stroke score was 10 for sc
holes, as compared to $50 against Evans,
under far more favorable playing con-
ditlonS.
Ouimet was in trouble virtuGN all day,
taking SIS for both the afternoon and
forenoon rounds of Is holes each. He
was particularly bad in his drives, the
ball repeatedly finding bunkers, pits or
the rough and but for some remarkable
recoveries on his second shots he would
not have been able to carry the match
along the extreme record Almost every
second drive resulted in slice or
hook, and off the tee it was a case of
just one trap after another. To top his
troubles, he fell off in putting, and lost
several chances to win holes by falling
on comparatively easy uptts.
PLATT STEADY
Platt, while not, playing particularly
brilliant golr, was extremely steady and
made every shot count Frequently
outdriven by Ouimet, his ball chung into
the fairways with persistency that must
have been disheartening to the Auburn

The great river front lemon mys-

some three million lemons in New
York, has been solved. The trouble
was all due to lemon laden steam
ship being long overdue.
More than ordinary excitement
was caused in the vicinity of the
city pier on the Hudson River when
several trucks filed up there and be-
gan dumping loads of lemons into
scows. Many of the lemons were
good, and rumors soon spread that
fruit concerns were disposing of sur
plus lemons to keep up prices. Boys
from the neighborhood flocked to
the pier and carried home boxes and
bags filled with sound fruit, and 1t
looked as though the profiteers were
getting holder and holder. AS night
wore on the mystery became deeper
and deeper.

dale entrant. In addition to this steady
play, Platt brought bursts of applause
from the gallery of several hundred golf
deVoteeS who trudged along with the
players by sinking long puts at critical
moments, and it was conceded that he
was playing better game than the man
who startled the international golf world
in 1913 with his triumph over Ray and
Vardon. Virtually unknown in national
tournament circles until today, Plat
demonstrated that he must be considered
a factor for the championship title,
and his match with S. Davidson Heron,
one of the two surviving entrants from
the Oakmart club, will be watched with
exceptional interest.
OUIMET FOUGHT HARD
AS in all his golfing battles, Ouimet
did not go down to defeat without a
desperate struggle After squaring
the match on the thirty-sixth green ne
halved the thirty seventh. On the
thirty eighth and final hole Oumet's
first two shots were in the rough,
while Platt's second dropped within
four feet of the pin. Plat rolled up to
the lip of the hole on his third and
ended the championship chances of
New Englands last representative by
dropping the few-inch putt for a four
and the match.
Two of the four players to win
places in the semi round are
