CATTLE SHORTAGE

CAica8o, June i0. The number OF
cattle for each one hundred persons
in the United States is today one
third less than in nineteen hundred
the sheep supply is reduced nearly
two-thirds, While The umber of hogs
is fully per Get less now than then.
according to figures compiled from the
federal census reports BY Herbert
Myrick, farmer expert for a farm
publication.
'Ieclaring that this alarming
shortage" IN liye stock is auch as to
furnish a mea; supply only about half
as much to each person in the coun
try as formerly. Nh. Myrick said "the
decline during recent months in prices
to producers is so utterly unjustifi-
able as to constitute the gravest eco
nom!c crime ever perpetrated upon
the farmers of America"
Other figures were given TO show
that twenty per cent fower pounds of
meat were exported during the pres
eht HScal year tnan during the pre-
V!ous year while imports totallcd one
hundred and seventy-five million
pounds Of fresh meats, o. nearly fou.
tlmes as much rs two or three years
ago. More than half of these imports
he said, were mutton and lambs from
Australia or imports twenty-five times
greater than the exports of the United
States.
Mr.. Myrick charged that the United
states department of agriculture for
years has overestimated the number OF
sheep and swine and declared that the
departments estimates for January,
1920, was in error no less than 2S Y
per cent.

and coLamon sense.
We are ready to discuss with Amer

limitation Of armaments which they
wish to set forth, and we can guaran-
tee that no such overtures will find
lack of willingness on our part to
