Tho life Of tive periods, distant by

The camel though he has done

their camels carrying huge packs Of

the country people stare with open

will come an Asyrian or an Arab on
his donkey or mule, his Wife walking
behind and carrying a great pack on
her head. In this way they transport
much stuff for many miles. Now they
are smothered in dust from the great
quantity of motor transport on the
roads

Needs Organization.

Organization of a central body rep
resentaive of every branch of the
livestock industry of the nation was
urged by Thomas +. Wilson. presi-
dent of Wilson and Company, packers,
of Chicago, at the farmers conven-
ton held this week at Columbia, Mo.
Mr.. Wilson declared that 1t is a mis-
take to permit any one group of live
stock raisers to speak for the whole
industry, and stated his belief that the
lack of organization among the live
stock men is responsible for the ma
jority of their difficulties.
The speaker said that at the present
time there is greater need of loyal
cooperation between government and
business than ever before, and that
the cooperation within industry it.
self was equally important il the Unit
ed States is 10 continue as a great
commercial nation.
Mr.. Wilson stated that he does
not believe that the depletion of
European herds was as great as re-
ported.
During the war. according to Yer
non Kellogg, of the United States
Food Administration, France lost II
per cent of her cattle. Italy u per
cent, whlle Great BritSinS cattle
industry did not suffer till the last
six months, when she was forced to
sacrifice stock cattle on account OF

cent of her sheep, Italy l per cent,
Great Britain 10 per cent France
lost 40 per cent of her swine, Italy
IL 1-2 per cent and Great Britain.
25 per cent.
In suggesting a plan for organi-
zation, Mr.. Wilson said: Establish
board in which is centralized au-
thority and responsibility in a COM
paratively few members"
The board should be representa-
tive of a constituency that included
every breeder and feeder in the
United States, he stated and should
permit "frst-hand contract with the
entire industry"
