OTHER EXTREME
Saving Of Food and Avoiding
of Waste No Longer a
Necessity.

Saving OF food. except as a mat
ter OF reasonable economy and TO
avoid wanton waste, is no longer
necessary. and the continuance Of
this form Of conservation will work
hardship 10 consumers and injustice
10 producers. the department of
agriculture announces.
There is now in prospect the
greatest crop Of wheat ever grown
in this country. and many cattle
reared in response TO the demand
for meat for the army are now ma
turing. the department points out
If these cattle are forced to sale on
a declining market there Will be
heavy loss 20 the producers this
the future.
"Stockmen do not deserve to be
penalized for their patriotism, but
should be supported by the con-
Stunning public in an effort TO re-
store consumption 70 the normal
without delay" says the department
in a special statement on the sub
ject.
Although short Of food. Europe
does not need beef from the United
States so much as il requires our
pork, according to the department.
The stocks of cattle in practically all
of Europe have not suffered so Sc
riously in numbers during the war
as was supposed Outside Of the
areas over which the conflict ragged
cattle have either held their own or
have been multiplied. Stocks of
hogs and sheep have been greatly
depleted.
AS soon as shipping was resumed
Europe turned to South America
and Australia for beef and lamb.
England and Italy are buying in
these markets. The beef and lamb
in the United States. it is pointed
out, must find a market at home.
With prices TO the consumer so
high that he is denying himself. and
the market for live stock so unat-
tractive that the producer loses
money when he sells his beef and
mutton. the problem is one that calls
for adjustment, the department of
agriculture contends. Representa-
tives of Sec'y Houston have confer
red with members of congress 10
cure the present conditions.
The department holds that the
United States will never have a
satisfactory and permanent solution
OF the problem until the manufac-
ture, sale and distribution of meat
products are officially supervised by
agents of the government. cooperat-
ing with state and municipal auth
critics
When the government is enabled
to maintain such supervision to pre-
vent unfair dealings. speculation
and profiteering, and to furnish the
public with all the facts regarding
the production and distribution of
meats, equitable and stable prices
for producers, and consumers can
be assured, the department says.
An effort to regulate the business
of manufacturing and marketing
meat products will be made by the
department 10 safeguard both those

livestock. Present conditions, it -
asserted, are unjust TO both pro-
