With America unoer-prOduced ana
under-consumed meat ais,
producers are turning to considera-
ton of whether the world viii try and
weather the coming winter on meat
or vegetarian Diet" said a prominent
live stockman at the yards today
ssThe countries most affected by
acute food shortage at this time are
those lying in the north temperate
zones and in the southern parts of the
fr1gid zones, great meat consuming
areas under normal conditions. In
dications are that many of these sec
tons where there is food shortage
will have to be ratoined out of the
generosity of other nations, the
affected areas are poverty stricken
because of economic conditions that
have been set up the aftermath of
war, or because of the breakdown of
governmental agencies or function
ings, as in the case of Russia and Ger
many, although the latter is now buy
| ing fats from America in fairly large
quantities and is paying for them in
| some way other, probably out of
| the surplus funds that has been
boarded in Germany before the war
and which were not dissipated during
| the war, being used in the continued
cycle of expend ltures within Germany
for war purposes
| eff Russia has a meat ration this
| winter it will be because that forces
outside of Russia will buy meats and
give them to Russia outright devise
some way whereby the soviet can
arrange for ultimate payment, al
though there seems to be plenty OF
gold in Russia for certain purposes
mostly for financing bolshevid pro-
paganda abroad.
/ tThese things effect the expectation
of meats from the United States, and
will exercise an influence on the meat
situa ton and the live stock situation
| Undoubtedly any money raised IL
America for European relief will be
| expended for American food products
| else Argentine, Brazilian and Austria
liam meats would stand good chance
of being used in famine relief wort
in Europe. They are a serious com
petition for American meats in thu
usual channels of meat trade il
| Europe, however.
+ ttWere America to turn to a norma
consumption of meats and fats i
, would be seriously under-produced
The laboring men who are the great
est fat consuming portion of tn
! American population are feeling tn
pinch of unemployment and lessene
= wages, and the sa1aried middle elias
r are still curtailing their meat con
sumption because of the hang owe
from the war period when they wer
| encouraged not to eat meat. Prof
. iteering in meat has been another fac
: tor in curtailing meat consumptio
among the sa1aried middle class pee
. pie who are a big factor in any cor
sumption that affects farm products.

he is drawing a salary of $4,000 a

up pending an investigation into the contract

struction

contract at a much higher figure than wn, hid
by one construction concern. A member of the
board explains that the low bidder after tho va
rious bids had been announced stated that ho
had made mistake in his figures and that he
would be financially unable TO carry out the
contract IL 1t was awarded him. therefore the
board accepted the next best bid.
Old stuff We do not mean TO say the hoard
was involved. WI will even admit that a CON
tractor might have made such mistake. But
we also insist that the whole thing smacks of
