Read The Ade--
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown disposition. TO
cooperate with the government In In
creasing the nations supply OF live
stock.
Germany today Is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
er European nation When the Ger
man armies. made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually ell the cattle In the invaded
territory - approximately 100000
head--were driven behind the German
lines.
But In England--where 100000
acres OF pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One OF the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
S17.76 per 100 pounds; October, $17.2S;
November and December, Sl60S: Jan
larry, S14.S0. The effect Of these prices
was 10 drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible
In France the number OF cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had l4,S07 900 head OF
cattle I'm 1913. she now has only H.
341,9 900, decrease OF 16.G per cent
And France is today producing only
one gallon OF milk compared TO two
and one-half gallons before tho war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because OF the lack OF necessary feed. !
Close study Of the European meat /
situation has convinced the Food Ad-
ministration that the future problem |
OF America lies largely In the produc-
ton OF meat producing animals and |
dairy products rather than In the pro-
duction OF cereals for export when |
the war will have ceased.
